The excuses that you relay, according him entitlement, hold no water.
He is entitled to act the ass.
He has no entitlement to blame the manager or blame the squad.

What are you on about?

How does saying that if someone "doesn't get on with the manager and other squad members and has a miserable time when he's there" he should be free not to play amount to making excuses?

I didn't comment on his PR.
You are perfectly entitled to make a meaningless post.

SI did not say he had a miserable time in the squad.
The manager went out of his way  to invite him back.
SI has spent no time with Trap apart from that time in a hotel.
Trap has acted with great diplomacy whenever peppered with questions about SI.

I do not know what entitlement you are waffling on about.

He's been likened to Bill Hicks. Bill had intelligences and a message behind his comedy.

What would the message be behind this sketch called "The Pope"

Is there any or much difference between that and Tommy Tiernan's self righteous Jews rant.

Nothing there, but you should actually listen to a wider range of his material.

I am familiar somewhat with Bill Hicks.
I have 270 of his sketches, some 17 hours worth of his material, on my iPod.
I am not comparing Tommy to Bill Hicks.
But I found one sketch which has enough similarity with the type of rant Tommy might have against a religion.

He's fully entitled not to play, particularly if he doesn't get on with the manager and other squad members and has a miserable time when he's there.
Considering that he hasn't joined the squad under Trap he doesn't know Trap
He walked out on Kerr and the U21 squad. By all accounts he acted  the ass.
He ran out on the Irish team in Slovakia.
He has taken offense with, at first Given then Brady and now Trap.
Everybody else is at fault.
He is perfectly entitled to be an ass.
We are perfectly entitled to call him an ass.

I haven't read much by Dan Brown.
I got through to about half way on the De Vinci Code.
Fundamentally flawed premise to begin and the storyline does nothing to encourage or sustain a suspension of my belief.

Something like "The Day of the Jackal", i'd regard as gripping quality fiction.

Well done Armagh.

That was a lovely move that brought Armagh 2 points clear at the end.

There are some strange accounts of history in that document as seen from the eyes of the Company.

This bit is interesting
1720
'Paralysed by the South Sea Bubble catastrophe, the City of London had no resources to spend on its estates in Ulster, so the letting idea seemed the only way out at the time.  Unfortunately, the tenants (who paid a 'fine' and an annual rent) went in for massive asset-stripping, with the result that The Irish Society noted virtually the whole of the county had become denuded of woodlands, emigration by Protestants was reaching epidemic proportions (thereby undoing one of the many aims of the Plantation, namely to settle the disaffected parts of Ulster with persons loyal to the Crown), and small farms were being impoverished by the rapacity of the Companies' tenants.  Meanwhile, as a contemporary observer noted, 'no Papists stirred' from their holdings.  The emigrants (mostly Ulster-Scots) became implacable enemies of British rule, and were one of the most significant factors in the success of the American Revolution.'

He moved to Meath. He slowly but surely developed a healthier perspective of the qualities of the human condition.
He felt a clean break from old associations with the likes of the Dub lowlifes on this board, was in order.

Or else he got banned.

Fox is a very good signing and worth every cent of his transfer fee.

Maloney just does not have enough football intelligence. Even though he was offside that time, the obvious thing to do was flick the ball on and either win a penalty or score an open goal.

A tough criticism to make considering his obvious quality was Boruc.
There is no way he should have done anything else other than smother that ball for the first goal.

On the pitch, Caldwell has delusions he is Beckenbauer.
