But its alright to mock and take delight at the deaths of people whose politics you disagreed with? Double standards.

No - its ok to make jokes about serial full time see you next tuesdays like Ian Paisley Maggie Jimmy savile etc. Its not about politics its about the fact they were vile human beings and the world is better without them.

I voted to leave the EU as I have no connection to Europe, I don't view myself as European and I believe the ever increasing European population in my region is more harmful to our heritage than a big wall on the border would be.
At the end of the day Europeans don't integrate into our Gaelic society, they are right not to as that's the way people work, the Irish in USA didn't integrate into English American society, the Gaels in Scotland didn't become Picts and lose their Gaelic culture, the Europeans in Australia didn't take up Aboriginal culture.

Ive read some bullshit on this but this post is right up there with the best of it.

Hard to know where to start on it, so maybe just try to ignore it is for the best.

Ignore it by commenting on it.

I SAW JAMIE CLARKE ON LOUGH NEAGH WITH A DOWN TOP ON HIM NEAR RAM'S ISLAND YESTERDAY WRESTLING WITH A CONGER EEL

Bullshit. Congers only live in the sea.

that song from reservoir dogs


Stuck in the middle with poo........

I know things have to be paid for,but no political party ever won an election by putting spending cuts in their manifesto

The Tories just did

End of Armagh career?

Who cares, your county is irrelevant, why the main board

The drugs don't work, they just make you worse...........

How many times have I tried to tell you all that the South now ideologically as well as practically,does not see the North as a part of their "Ireland" nor does any substantial portion of its population desire,much less try to bring about,reunification.

This is but another mere symptom.

RTE does not speak for the people.

[Would their righteous fury not be better directed at those who have made a clean fortune over the years by duping the more vunerable and gullible in society.]

Fair play to them. Thinking outside the box, having a bit of craic. Is anyone even religious anymore?

I wouldn't claim to be overly religious but devotion to Our Lady of Knock is important to me and has helped me through a major crisis. Like thousands of others around Mayo and neighbouring counties I took part in the vigil walk to Knock for dawn Mass on Aug 15th. I don't expect others to agree with my beliefs but I do expect that places and practices that are sacred to me and others would be respected. I would never disrespect the sacred places of others. It seems like Catholics are the only "minority" it's fair to insult.

If Paddy Power thought it was harmless why skulk in at night. When asked by Joe Duffy if they would do something similar at a mosque the spokesman fr PP said that they wouldn't like to draw the ire of ISIS upon themselves. What brave champions of free speech! For the record I would find a similar projection at a mosque/synagogue/ church hall/ humanist meeting place etc equally objectionable.

Sure wasn't the first  apparition meant to be an early projector image which would have been unheard off back in the late 1800's in the West of Ireland....

Exactly. People getting all revved up about a bit of a jibe at what was a hoax anyway. Would their righteous fury not be better directed at those who have made a clean fortune over the years by duping the more vunerable and gullible in society.

Do you mean Paddy Power?

Paddypower doesn't tell you that you have to have a bet

Aye that's why it's stretchy

Unquestionably the best side never to win an AI title. They are a side that neutral followers can enjoy as well as they are rarely involved in a dull game at the business end of the season. No disrespect to Dublin or Tyrone but there will be 31 counties rooting for them in September hoping they can finally reach the promised land. History beckons and I'm predicting now that they will beat Tyrone in the final, a side who they seem to have a hoodoo over.

31? I don't think so

Sean O'Callaghan.Tout.

A Kerry man that Tyrone boys did fear.

Love Tyrone v Armagh games.

Gormleys block
McGuigan putting geezer on his hole and kicking a beauty in croker
Canavans free to put an end to the eternal Ulster Champs of the noughties

Tyrone should win but I hope its a good game for a while - Would be great if we could get baldy mckeever on the field and someone nail him near the end in retribution for putting his hand on God in 2005. But do we have anyone who could? McNamee - Hampsey - Mattie?

Let big Sean have a go - he'd probably shit himself if McKeever ran past him.

Your Possibly right - but whereas McKeever, a limited footballer, will only be remembered for getting God sent off in an Ulster Final acting a thug Cavanagh will be remembered for much more:

3 All Irelands
6 Ulster Titles
5 All Stars
etc.
etc.
etc.

Armaghs inferiority complex towards Tyrone is hilarious!!!!

Sean will also be remembered for putting big Francie on his hole who was a proper hard man, I'd say he's hardly scared of McKeever!

You guys still like to flag up just about the only hit big Sean ever made in his career, blindsided too as Bellew was bending down.  Is that the best you can come up with?

And if its the one i am thinking of he didn't exactly bound to his feet again himself.

The point is if a cyclist is an idiot (of which clearly there are some) they are moving at relatively low speed on a machine weighing under 10kgs. If a motorist is an idiot he is likely in a machine weighing enough to maim, crush, kill someone should they hit a cyclist. The arrogance of some on this thread is quite astounding.

Some! Have you looked at those videos? What strikes one about those clips is that they are perfectly everyday. The behaviour illustrated is not exceptional - we see it all the time. In every example, more cyclists are breaking red lights than aren't.

So it's not just SOME cyclists who are dangerous, arrogant idiots. It's a very large proportion, if not a majority in some cases. They insist on equal status with motorised traffic by militantly asserting their supposed right to hold up road users whose normal pace is higher than theirs, but at the same time insist on ignoring the laws and rules that all but a minuscule percentage of the rest of road users obey.

How many cars, buses or trucks did you see breaking red lights while cyclists were merrily ignoring them? That's the whole point of what we're talking about here.

And I'm sorry, but the argument that it's OK as they're small and won't do much damage is idiotic.

Idiotic ? Get hit by a cyclist or a truck or jeep, hmmmnn which one is least likely to kill you ?

So if a cyclist breaks a red light and gets mowed down, is that the motorists fault, or if the motorist swerves to avoid said p***k and hits another car is that the motorists fault?

Of course it isn't.
