Tyrone / Re: Tyrone County Football and...

Last post by giveherlong - Today at 03:06:19 PM

Hearing there has been Senior call ups for Shea O'Hare, Michael Rafferty and Eoin McElholm. Would have been expecting Cassidy and Potter as well but haven't heard anything. Wouldn't surprise me to see them three playing a part over the next 3 games. The pace of O'Hare and McElholm could be a big difference late in games. Pace be one thing our senior team has lost since the All-Ireland win, especially in the middle 8.

McAneney, O'Hare, Rafferty, McElholm and Cassidy rumoured to have got the call up during the week.

Being the correct phrase

Now confirmed 👍🏻

Be some handlin' if one or two of these 5 lads decides after a week or two that the senior set up is not for them and steps away - do we then have to redo the league fixtures again?

Only Rafferty and McElholm called up according to GL. Anyone else?

At the lower level some of the older soldiers ploughing on could still do damage eg the McNamees, but with so many of the U20s lashed in at once it can fall apart fairly quickly.

Think Kildare are brewing nicely but I'd like to see Leitrim shit uop shop a buit to see how we deal with it. There have been changes between 1st and 2nd game too, so interested to see who gets the nod.

Brewing nicely for what exactly?

Kildare football is a complete shambles from top to bottom. Victories over Longford and Waterford won't change that.

GAA Discussion / Re: Joe Brolly

Brolly is a cnut

Incredible the level of bile can be expressed here regarding Joe Brolly but suggest Mickey Harte isn't the man and boys be clutching their pearls calling for the moderators.

Are you OK with the bile Joe uses in his repeated personal, nasty, vindictive attacks over the years on the likes of Mickey Harte and Enda McNulty?

Harte is not squeaky clean either yet when he is criticised here, its a crying match.

I didn't say he was squeaky clean, but in any case that wasn't the question I asked you.

Some of Brolly's comments have been OTT and personal, I agree. Point I'm making is I made suggestions at the weekend that Harte is past it and won't bring Derry on any further. Innocuous enough and as well as getting hammered for it, accused of previously been here against Harte under different names was a shout made to the moderators... but is okay here to call Joe Brolly a 'cnut' ?

Wouldn't it be nice if there were no such things as personal attacks eh? But if someone with the platform that Brolly has can go on his podcast and sanctimoniously preach about the importance of kindness (as he does routinely) but simultaneously uses the same platform to attack and belittle people (I couldn't count how many times I've heard him use the phrase "f**k Mickey Harte" or "f**k off Mickey" for instance), then I think you're being a little sensitive about people with no such platform taking a pop back at him on an internet forum.

At the end of the day, if he's happy enough to dish out abuse, he probably doesn't require you to jump to his defence when he's the target of it on this little tiny corner of the internet.

And as for your last point, I listen to his podcast most weeks because while I think he's an egotistical, narcicistic hypocrite; when it comes to domestic and international politics (which he discusses reguarly), I agree with most of his views and find his arguments with Fanning to be very entertaining. I hope that's ok with you!

General discussion / Re: Hamas attack Israel & sub...

Last post by Itchy - Today at 02:56:46 PM

I've not seen anyone giving blind support to Hamas, but in keeping with your bad faith comments.

Would you call children that are killed in war as non combatants

of course, why would anyone consider them combatants...

I haven't seen that term used for the deaths in Gaza, its generally women and children killed that has been used

true, in gaza if you are male and non combatant you don't really count. In Israel there is conscription and more Female IDF so speaking in women and children isn't as clear.

So just use it for Israeli deaths as they have conscription? If you are an unarmed woman or child from any side you are still a woman or child.

I'm an ends doesn't justify the means type person, one loss of life is one too many. So many senseless deaths here over the years hasn't really got us any further, the shift in population will, and won't cause any deaths

I've no idea how they can solve the Gaza situation as Israel won't be going anywhere and the Palestinians will rebuild and have another generation of people that have been tortured/killed and locked up, mad cycle.

Unless there is a moderate government in Israel then this won't even be fixed in our lifetime

Milltown I know you are a let the palestinans continue to suffer under their occupation until the occupier decides otherwise guy. the west donw nothing for 75 years only arm and watch on as Israel every few years 'mows the lawn'... I support international  Law ans it allows resistence and that threshold for armed resistence is clearly been met for Palestinans to rise up against their oppressor and occupier and I fully support that. ( within international law)

if you are a non combatant you are a civilian etc. which would include men, women and children. As stated if you provide women and children for the Israeli dead many will be combantants, the Israeli dead is usually provided as a total including both, Palestinians are usually provided as women and children and a total number.

I think in terms of using sticks and stones in comparison to what Israel has to use against Palestine then you can uprise to the cows come home there will be only one outcome.

Nothing will be resolved unless they sit around a table, create the conditions for that and that's the best outcome 75 years will be 150 years and so on if they do not sit and discuss

I know you are they type of guy that sits at home on a computer type of guy and wave a flag maybe not use Israeli products but that won't stop non combatants from being obliterated 

I am that guy and more and understand how little impact it has but at least I fully support all legal efforts for palestinains while you sit at home on your computer happy for them to die slowing, and stupidly not know that palestinans have numerous times sat at those tables and been offered nothing and somehow speak to me as if you have some moral superiority...

Hamas are using their own civilians as human shields

They are as just much to blame for civilian deaths as the Israelis

So it's nothing to do with the big fúcking bombs the IDF are dropping on built up areas and even refugee camps?

Are Hamas also to blame for the Palestinians being killed on the West Bank?

Sweet Jesus!

So if the Hamas operatives who perpetrated the atrocities on 10/07 are hiding out in a refugee camp are they not responsible for the inevitable bombardment that's sure to follow?

Yeh they are hiding in refugee camps, under hospitals and in churches. So if those are blown up then its at least partially Hamas's fault right - like no where should be safe. Tell me, if a Hamas militant is being treated in hospital, is it his fault if the hospital is bombed, are casualties on both sides entitled to medical treatment? Would you be ok with the Brits bombing the Falls road with hi-tech weapons from the sky during the troubles too. You can spot the man who listens to Fox news all day a mile away.

Laois / Re: Underage squads 2024

Last post by Chrimtain - Today at 02:49:40 PM

A big problem in Laois is the defeatist attitude we possess. To say we can't succeed because we don't have the tradition is ridículous. Offaly have not always had a tradition of winning All Irelands. In recent years, in football, Armagh, Tyrone and Donegal have won All Irelands for the first time. They didnt let a lack of tradition hold them back.

I've always felt that armed resistence was heroic and unfortunately necessary and why it is enshrined in int law..... bad faith

You called the Hamas attack of Oct 7th a heroic action and attempted to justify it when pressed.....extremely bad faith.

International law justifies it, I support that armed resistence is allowed. resistence against occupation is heroic. palestinans are a heroic people who for 75 has resisted their occupier armed by some of the world's most powerful countries.

you made this comment -

I've said Israel are criminals and committing genocide

, should I read into that that every single Israeli is a criminal and committing genocide... if I did it would be bad faith as more than likely you mean those who actively or passively support there actions, not all Israelis or all actions... bad faith

Israel - the state of Israel as represented by their government

Yet more waffle as you try..and fail, to twist and turn your way back out of what you said. Heroic actions, on Oct 7th.

so I made the comment, know what I meant by the comments, explained in more detail at the time what I meant, have explained on at least one other occasion what I meant, explained again today what I meant but you think you know better... catch yourself on (think that was directed at whitey early but fitting here too.)
