Does anyone anywhere think the Rhubarbs will actually win the game??

Just Diarmuid Connolly I think

Would expect Kerry to win this well. Mayo teams always wilt against Kerry in a final. Mayo team 1-9 no where near level of team last decade. Like Limerick last week Kerry will go after Mayo on the kickout and when in possession in own half. Mayo have avoid same mistakes as Galway did when in possession.

Paul Geaney could have speech written by time enters the field. Will he give speech in Irish or English?

Mayo haven't played against Kerry in a final in 20 years

Brady was a fair decent footballee, remember Mayo putting him on Donaghy all too late one day at full bck.

Yeah that was 06, he said afterwards he was "sent in to look for survivors".

A good line in fairness!

Brady has always been a mouthy bollix but part of the charm of the Mayo folk. Brady fancied himself a hard man and was annoyed by priors with Tyrone.

They get carried away and big themselves up only to fall on their face. I do be worried for them with some of the chat from veterans around them, I am sure Andy will have them primed.

Always felt Mayo too nice, or self regarding. Kerry will test that.

Nobody in Mayo listens to a word David Brady says, he's not in any Mayo papers or podcasts (of which there are several) because everyone knows he's a loudmouth bullshitter.
But having said that, he's probably good ould craic!

Rhubarbs average skewed by Louth game.

Yeah, disregard all Ireland semi finals.
Munster championship games against Clare are far more relevant 

So any immigrant, convicted of any crime, should be automatically reported?

And you don't think that's absurd?

I presume you mean deported.
You could maybe have an exclusion list of some lesser offences but by and large I think that's reasonable.
What do you find absurd

Ok, so you're already admitting that there's a bit of nuance to it? That "commit a crime and get the f**k out" isn't really a great place to start?

I said that from the beginning

Criminal offences in Ireland are broadly classified into categories such as Public Order, Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person, Theft and Fraud, Sexual Offences, and Drug Offences.
These crimes are prosecuted in the Irish courts as either summary offences (less serious, heard in the District Court) or indictable offences (serious, heard with a judge and jury).

Who says he contributes nothing to society? Or is incapable of doing so? Is there a threshold when it comes to crimes that determine whether he should be fucked out or not?

If he's convicted of a crime, that's sufficient for me. I propose we start with that and refine from there as needed.

This thread's gone  ultra Tory

You understand it's satirical to highlight the absurdity of the "an immigrant who commits crimes needs fucked outta here" crowd, yes?

Why is it absurd?
An Irish man committing a crime here can't be sent 'back' because he's an Irish citizen who was born and reared here.

An immigrant who comes here and contributes nothing to our society, and actually commits crimes, so is a negative to our society and a potential danger, is a different story.
I see it as quite reasonable to say you're not welcome here, you need to leave.

Anyone who didn't think immigration is causing problems will be thinking again.
And of course it's not all immigrants and not all races of immigrants.

No idea if it even was immigrants tbh but if so, should have all rights to be here revoked (if guilty)

Any immigrant who commits a crime (maybe be more specific?) should have all their rights taken away? Human rights? Civil rights? What about if they're an Irish citizen?

If they are an Irish citizen, they shouldn't be regarded as an immigrant.

If they are not an Irish citizen and they commit crimes in Ireland. They should be sent back to whatever country they came from.

Does this mean we have to take all the Irish back that commit a crime abroad?

I think that would be fair enough.

Poor enough game so far, and ref definitely not "letting it flow".
He seems to be playing advantage or else deciding to give frees based on crowd reaction!

Mayo will fancy their chances big time in the final going off that kerry display

I fear Mayo will  do what Mayo usually do in  AI finals

Lose?

Well, 8 losses from 8  in the last couple of decades isn't exactly encouraging from a Mayo point of view.

yes, this is  mostly a new Mayo team , and I really hope they do it , but  i dread them losing another.

Don't worry, what's the worst that I can happen? Everyone in Mayo knows what it's like to lose a final, so it should hold no fear at this stage.
