Fairytale of New York
Thousands Are Sailing
Broad Majestic Shannon / Rainy Night In Soho .. just can't decide.

RIP Shane.  Thanks to a mutual friend, I had the experience of travelling to a Pogues gig once in the van with Shane, an experience indeed. 

He was a lyrical genius, and we won't see his likes again in our time anyway.

The narrative is this ... LHO fired the first shot and hit JFK in the shoulder.  The secret service agent in the car behind Kennedy's car, who was carrying a loaded rifle, jolted at the sound of the shot or was jolted by the car's driving at the sound of the shot, and discharged the fatal bullet that killed JFK from behind ... thus the cover up.

Either the above be correct, or something else, but there had to be two shooters.  The chance of LHO getting two shots off with the required precision are extremely remote.

So Paddy Cosgrave has resigned as CEO of Websubmit following multiple multi-nationals pulling out of the his event in Lisbon ... just because Paddy had the cheek to criticise western support for Israeli war crimes ...

Always seemed a decent skin Paddy

The shocking thing is if you read what he said and subsequently apologised for. You either support Israel's murderous rampage or your toast.

He only has himself to blame

His initial "apology" wasn't an apology and he actually doubled down in his initial comments

You for real?  So to call out a war crime is wrong?  wise up FFS, you should try growing a backbone.

Heard Mc Ginley on Radio 1 today talking about Jimmy might try to get a certain player back.

You never know.

It felt like a premature retirement when it happened.  However, irrespective if he does return, McGuinness will be working with a much less capable Donegal outfit than what he previously had.  Yes, he'll have them for 6 months before the Championship, if you don't have the calibre of player, time is irrelevant.  Interesting all the same, when or if Derry face Tyrone is the big question.

She has no shame or humanity, hours after Israel targeted a Hospital

I find it beyond belief that Von der Leyen is standing so firmly behind Israel, they must have something on her. 

It's not that anyone needed convincing, but surely the bombing of a hospital with so much loss of life tells the world what was always known about Israel.  Unjustified, unjustifiable ... no words for it. How can Biden continue with his trip and stand with Israel is also incredulous!

Jarly Og is definitely a loss, but not one that is irreplaceable, there are several who I think can seize the opportunity and step up next year.  Hopefully we will see Jarly in an Armagh jersey again in the future.

Mild shock in Armagh with Clan Na Gael beating Clann Eireann. Very good side with every chance of beating Cross or Madden but I'd say they would still be on the piss by the time Ulster started!

Cross v Clans in the final.

Disappointing that Clans appear to be a one man team. Was hoping to see new young talent coming through. Cross will not give Soupy any space.

The Clans will give Cross a game.  Should have beaten them in the group stages, they won't fear the final.

[Surprising thing is that Israel didn't know this was coming.]

People, as humans, will only take so much before they decide enough is enough.

Surprising thing is that Israel didn't know this was coming.  There will be huge questions over their security services and intelligent services.

I don't believe for a second that the most sophisticated intelligence setup in the world did not know this was coming.  Such was the scale of the attack (7000+ rockets fired?), they had to have known.  So why let it happen?  Israel now have the excuse and widespread backing to wipe any semblance of Palestine off the map ... and they will.

We're always accustomed to supporting the underdog, the oppressed, the Palestinians ... the barbaric scenes being committed on behalf of the Palestinian people does nothing to help their cause.  As always, it's the innocent on both sides who will pay the price.

Tubridy would have questioned his poppy stance.

Tubridys mother had The Wolfe tones play at a recent family do.

Wasn't recent, was over 40 years ago!  It was an 80th Birthday party for Ryan Tubridy's Grandfather, Todd Andrews .... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Andrews

If there ever was a WTF it is this:

Just googled Jaime Maussan - seems he has been proven wrong in similar circumstances before

You'd think they would release DNA samples to the global scientific community for scrutiny    Don't think that has happened as yet.

watched the tones on the two johnnies( youtube), Brian said he wrote the celtic Symphony and belittles  the d4 cries of outrage .

[Derek Warfield didn't write Celtic Symphony,]

Derek Warfield left the Wolfe Tone about 20 years ago he was the writer of Celtic Symphony among others song so should be making good money out of all the air play it's got, Is it true on his departure he signed a contract that prevented the rest of the band to record any new material?

Derek Warfield didn't write Celtic Symphony, his brother Brian did who is still with the group.  Derek did sign a record contract in the US in the 90's that took them several years to get out of.

According to these links he did.

Don't believe all that you read in the press, full of inaccuracies ... https://lyrics.lyricfind.com/en-GB/lyrics/wolfe-tones-celtic-symphony

If inaccurate would Derek not correct it?

No if about it, the reports you provided were inaccurate.  As to why Derek wouldn't correct it, I guess that's a question for him.  He mightn't even have read the report so will hardly bother him.
