Quote from: whitey on March 27, 2024, 03:23:55 PMWhether you like or dislike McDowell he argued points of law as it pertained to the failed referendums and what he said made all the sense in the world.

The govt tried to pull a fast one and it cost Varadkar his job

If I were to hazard a guess, "far right" (by the standards of this board) will get somewhere between 15-20% of first preference votes in the next General Election





Whitey, you might as well ask a dog to estimate how far it is to the moon than ask you to estimate first preference in votes in a southern election from America. I would say max 3% and will get no one elected as only the brain dead would vote for them and no one will transfer to them.

There are are large cohort of people who are not ''Far Right'' and all that jargon who will vote for certain principles these candidates stand for. There is a huge disconnect between the Major Parties and the Electorate. There will be many who will privately do a rebellious vote.

Sinn Fein are in bother. They have lost ground in the many disadvantaged areas they would have been sailing through.

SF are no longer seen as an alternative for change

I know I won't be voting for FF/FG/SF/Greens.

By you.

There's always the social democrats, independents who'll be far right if you want them to this election and far left the next one. Whatever suits. Then you can vote for the inbreds in the Far right parties so still plenty of choice for you.

I don't have much time for the Far Right parties, but calling them inbreeds doesn't put those who call them that in a good light.
Sinn Fein have proven to be one of the weakest major opposition parties in a long time. Voting for them will be more of the same. Sinn Fein I'm afraid have lost their way. I suppose this was going to happen when there was no Cause to fight for anymore, and now they've naturally fallen in with the pack.

Quote from: weareros on March 26, 2024, 09:44:36 PMThe world class lad opted for the North. Class goal for Conor Bradley against the Scots.

He opted for the North so he could stay in Liverpool's Academy. If he declared for the Republic he'd have to leave under Brexit rules.

Quote from: Eire90 on March 26, 2024, 02:59:54 PMfine gael and the establishment about to bin the hate speech looks like they are terrified of people rising up

Hate speech is like a Durable relationship. You can interpret anything as a durable relationship and you can interpret anything as Hate Speech.

Quote from: Armagh18 on March 24, 2024, 06:11:21 PMDublin are ahead of everyone at the minute,  that's probably obvious enough. Tyrone aren't as shite as that scoreline makes them look.

Dublin have been ahead of everyone for the last 7,358,400 minutes.

You have to laugh at Elected talk of toxicity in Politics.

Of course there is. What do these people expect when they only answer to their superiors.

The Media give them a free pass.

There is no respect for them because they have no respect for a vast majority of their electorate.

Varadkar was a vile individual. The kind who'd look down his nose at most. He served his higher masters well the last decade or so.

He won't be remembered for anything. Correction -  he won't be remembered for anything good.

Quote from: From the Bunker on March 18, 2024, 07:11:55 PMDid not know this competition existed. Would be great if this got a bit more exposure.


The failure to implement promotion and relegation from the 6N will always limit the growth of the sport in this part of the world. Georgia famously won away in Wales as part of the autumn internationals a couple of years ago.

Imagine if there was a promotion play-off between Wales and Georgia this year and Georgia won!
The first problem would be - there would be no Triple Crown.
Even if Wales evolved into total sh*te there is no way they could be kicked out of the 6N.

Nothing is written is stone as today proved. Better to take you beating gracefully!

(And I'm a Liverpool fan)

Well done to United! They stuck in there. There will be a few sore head in Manchester and beyond tomorrow.

Liverpool's luck ran out and drive ran out.

Quote from: J70 on March 17, 2024, 04:23:39 PMGreat last ten from Liverpool in that half.

I'd be a wee bit upset with Fernandes on the second goal. Weak as f**k.

Yeah, Fernandez looking for the Ref to get him out of Jail for being weak on the ball.
Got a Yellow to top it off for decent.

Souness/Keane have been hash on United, they had Liverpool on the rack for large periods of that half.
The Blitzkrieg of the last 15 minutes has set us up well.
