No chance!

I'm with Joe on this one. There are a few pubs around me that I wouldn't dream to set foot in if it wasn't for the barmaids.

Same thing here with Sky.

You wouldn't watch Sky if they didn't have attractive female sports news readers? What live sports on Sky are anchored by a woman? I know the soccer highlights show, Saturday choice or whatever it's called, is presented by a woman a lot, but the Rugby, the Premier League, FL72, Boxing, etc. are all anchored by a man as far as I know. Rachel Wyse is probably breaking new ground here actually.

no theres a lady who presents the golf quite alot and if your into your cricket watch the pepsi league on itv4 and you will see 2 lead women who by coincidence are stunning

just a wee warning foR some of you guys who are offended by brollys comment,DONT WATCH WOLF OF WALL STREET!!!

[she was hardly picked for her indepth knowledge of GAA!!]

So the fact that SKY  are using a good looking blonde Irish girl as there anchor is just a coincidence?? i think not,Joe is 100% right,she was hardly picked for her indepth knowledge of GAA!!Dont be so bloody niave and get over your selfrightous bullshit

Sure that's just nonsense - Were Michael Lyster, matt Cooper, Des etc selected for their indepth GAA knowledge?

Brolly back tracked and made his "point" after he was pulled on the original sexist comment

exactly what i am saying like the "men" you mentioned she was not picked because of her knowledge,look i know as well as the rest of you brolly is OTT on some of his comments but i agree in the meaning of his comment,SKY are ceratinly very aware what works and i believe there is no coincidence in why they picked this girl but in saying that she is a good presenter and fits what sky are looking for perfectly.
By the way unlike Brolly i think sky doing GAA is a good thing.

No, Peter Canavan and James O'Connor are there for that. She is an experienced presenter with all the credentials to do the job - Brolly knows exactly what he's doing with his cheap dig, trying to discredit the sky coverage before it even starts. The same way he was sniggering about how Jim White etc were pronouncing some of the counties. He's a little bully boy who needs his little cheerleaders like yourself to keep his own profile. If you are suggesting that a woman is incapable of presenting a GAA show then just come out and say it.

talk about twisting things so suit yourself,because i agreed with brolly on this i am one of his little cheer leaders?grow up ffs,did i say that are incapable of presenting?nope,i said i dont think its a coincidence that they picked a good looking irish girl which by the way is decent at what she does,so actually its you thats comes across as a little bully boy

So you "100%" agree that Rachel Wyse only got the job because she was a "Baywatch Babe" and suggest that she hardly got the job for her "indepth knowledge of GAA". So what do you mean by these statements? Do you know much about her background as a sports person and a presenter? Maybe its a coincidence that she got the job because she has the ability, experience and credentials to do it?

By telling everyone that Joe is correct and we should not be so "bloody niave and self righteous" i would suggest that this is cheer leading his position. Then again Joe is so much more intelligent that the rest of us and I should agree with him. Also he does loads for charity too!

You know what your 100% right she got the job on merity and nothing to do how she looks,how dare i have a different opinion than yourself,and your comment at the end says it all really.

loved watching the FA cup all those years ago with the big build up but imo its slowly but surely turning in to a mickey mouse cup due to the premiership and champions league,if you look at the teams who get to the last 8 it reflects on how most of the big clubs dont take it too seriously any longer unless they get a handy draw and are out of contention of the big two, and when they started moving the time around it really started to devalue it and its worth,i think the chelsea liverpool final a couple of years ago was actually 5.15!! and that was to accomodate league matches being played that day.

While im not really a bike fan i have been a couple of times and have to say i enjoyed it,to see the speed these guys reach is unbelievable but also the human tragedy which seem to happen  every year over shadows a great event.

[What a weird reason to stop buying a paper for though.]

That's the end of that chapter

WHY? is his column come to a end?ive stopped buying the irish news on a friday due to it

Yes, it's came to an end. What a weird reason to stop buying a paper for though.

aye i know,but his column really annoyed me but no matter how hard i tried i always took a quick glance incase he had something interesting to say and it made me worse lol so i just stopped buying it on a friday..weird i know!!

its more than Just the 11+,anyway i dont think we agree on whos running the education system so we will just leave it at that

where my post go?have SF control over this board as well?

Anyway its not unionism destroying the education system (although im not sure they would do much better),my local primary school were told they had not enough pupils to sustain it,but in the nxt couple of years they were way over the number required so the school went looking extra funding for the increased numbers,guess what they were turned down flat and the school had to turn away pupils,go figure that one...yet if myself and my wife were umemployed claiming benifits,polish or traveller our child would get in!!!we had to send our child 8 mile away to play school when our local primary is 1.2 mile from our front door!!
SF shouted for years that unionism had no alternative to sunningdale and the anglo irish agreement yet they go and scrap the 11+ which in theory i have no problem with but what have they put in place to replace this?nothing and inturn created a system which will turn out just like england where there will be private and public schooling.Then they come up with the bright idea to cut school funding to give it to areas of need!!so basically my chid does not have the same needs as a child who lives in a deprived area!!
SF idea of socialism is a hell of alot different from my idea

Listen, you need to go research this topic thoroughly rather than base it on your experience with one school. Look at the position of all the educationalists, they support SF's position. A large part of the problem is the plethora of education boards inefficiently using resources. The decisions on funding schools would not be the ministers direct responsibility but that of your ELB. Your argument seems to be based on a dislike of SF rather than logic. And before you accuse me, I have a record on here of calling SF out when it's needed.

I have absolutly no dislike to SF whatsoever i just dont agree with alot of there policies,yes there are one or two individuals i just cant warm to but thats the case with all parties.
i am not basing my views on just my own experience,did SF not say they would be cutting funding to all schools outside as they say it "deprived" areas?and ELB only control the funding in which the SF minister give them!you say educationalists support SF position,well for everyone you find that do i can provide you one that doesnt,my family are heavily involved in education so i am listening to them everyday and i can tell you they certainly do not agree with SF policy on education,and one family member who teaches in a so called deprived school told me they had money left from there budget this year so they spent it on a mini bus which they did not even need yet SF want to give them more money!!just doesnt make sense.

[unless people are that apathetic now that they just don't turn out!]

i agree screen that DUP will take a hit but i think SF will take a bigger hit,SF got alot of support due to the SDLP being totally incompetent and also trying to oust bigots like mccrea from mid ulster but with politics here becoming more "normal" people are starting to see through SF.They are single handly destroying our education system and the real thing that sticks in my throat about SF is if you dare to speak against them you are a "dissendent".

I agree but I think the SDLP are still clean useless so I can't see where SF are going to lose some of their vote unless people are that apathetic now that they just don't turn out!

I've yet to look at anybody in NI Politics who I would say "Yeah that's a serious operator who will work hard for me I want to pick him!". Probably had I been at voting age at the time Hume but other than that the rest are a crowd of fcukwits.

Let's vote for SF for Westminster so that they don't even go! What the fcuk is the point in that?!

Thats exactly what i can see happening,unfortuately there arent many options if you dont agree with SF policies
