Kilcoo are masters at the dark arts of the game and Corofin got sucked into a war of attrition during normal time. Crippled with fear and allowed Kilcoo to get under their skin. Amazing what happens when they just cut loose and played their own game.

Corofin showed themselves to be the master of the dark arts today.

They can play it anyway you want and their results over the past 3 years against various tactics clearly show that.  Lost their composure towards the end of normal time but no doubt about their credentials in ET.  Worthy Champions again.

Daithi Burke is an amazing sportsman

3 in a row hurling all star
Now 3 in a row football club all Ireland

« And at about 1.30am on Wednesday morning, a bag containing a head, hands and feet were found in a burnt-out blue Audi S40 in a lane off Clonliffe Ave in Dublin’s north inner city. »

Anyone who saw that could be traumatised.

5% of people own 40% of everything.

If that is true, that is relatively progressive compared to some other places!

For contrast, in the USA, 1% of people own 40% of everything.

95% of people own 60% of everything VS 99% OF people own 60% of everything. Not much of  difference
It's all going to collapse.

Its actually quite a large difference.

In the US, 5% of people own ~65% of everything.

Unless you think that ~25% wealth difference for that 4%of people in Ireland is insignificant?


Now, is it fair? Nope.
Does it need better distribution? Yep.
Are executives paid too much given their abilities? Absolutely.

It’s one of the reasons RTÉ is in trouble
Demand is about the 100%
It’s just not sustainable.

The Gardai are more likely to go after psychopathic murders because of the international media attention. Kenneth O’Brien’s murderer is in prison .

Psychopathic murders are bad for Ireland’s image.

where is the so called ira in all this

If they didn't disband would any of this happen? They seemed to control crime in a somewhat positive way compared to these hoors.

The Shankill butchers were as bad as these criminals .

People will vote for ff fg again and the shinners are a bunch of rats too.

FF and FG have no answers to healthcare, house prices or homelessness.
Business as usual doesn’t work at the moment.
5% of people own 40% of everything.

Keane Mulready was involved in arson, and he also killed a cat in a pretty gruesome way. He was due up in court in Sept for review. He was insecure and wanted to be a gangster, and he had career criminals in his family. It only adds to the Drogheda feud tragedy. So little chance.

Reminds me of this song

A lot of kids get into this because its got the big lifestyle behind it,  whether this lads brutal death steer’s other people away remains to be seen.

I’ve kids that age and older, Ya wonder what goes wrong in people’s families that they end up losing sight of normal values?

In Limerick 10 or 15 years ago a drug gang killed 2 kids in a car as part of a feud. There was public outrage and the Gardai put resources into controlling the gangs which put a stop to the feud.

Dismemberment has been a signature of some Dublin gangs for a while. Kenneth O’Brien who came home from Australia was murdered and dismembered in 2016. The court case was recently.

Shooting enemies in the head is old school but dismembering the body deliberately violates death rituals and is a further attack on the bereaved families of the dead. It’s barbaric.
Unless the Gardaí do something now nothing will change.

Another confident prediction. Odran Flynn, psephologist (numbers nerd to me and you) has been on Pat Kenny's show on Newstalk predicting the Greens will win a seat in every Dublin constituency with the exception of Dublin North West. That would more or less tally with my own prediction. I have them winning seats in all Dublin constituencies, bar Dublin North West and Dublin Mid West. Former Green Paul Gogarty, now an Independent, has acted as a barrier there.

They are beyond the law. Middle class drug users fund them.
