General discussion / Parking near RDS

« on: Today at 01:13:46 PM »

Hi all, just wondering about where to park near the RDS. Picture This are playing there on Saturday and I was wondering where you could get away towards the Dublin Port Tunnel. Also how much is the toll for the Dublin Port Tunnel? Thanks in advance.

Ros hit 14 wides. If that was Mayo everybody would go to town on the shit forwards. Maybe Ros forwards are not as good as they're supposed to be.

So - This is a summary of RTE, The National Broadcaster's performance yesterday.
1 - Put soccer on HD on RTE1 and a crucial hurling championship match on non HD.
2 - Went to a break for news and a lengthy series of advertisements  at half time during the Connaught final
3 - Blocked the signal from users in the north for The Sunday Game last night.

Not a great performance overall.  No wonder we need SKY.

Sky is the problem here. It was sky who blocked the programme
The hurling was on HD yesterday
Lesson: don’t rely on Sky for your GAA coverage on RTE. If you can, get an aerial and Saorview box or enabled TV. Aerial set up for about £150/200 and there will be no ‘blue screening’ of GAA and champions league

Or Home & Away.

I like Home and Away. Don't diss it.

Galway played fairly shite and won, absolutely dreadful in the first half Walsh aside. Rossies went to pieces when Galway put on a modicum of pressure in the 2nd half.
Compton going off was a pivotal moment for Roscommon, destroyed at midfield afterwards.
The Rossie fans behind the Galway goals chanting "Rory, Rory, Rory" at Lavelle for the entire 1st half are a stain on the nature of good sportsmanship, delighted to see Roscommon beaten if for nothing else than to shut those idiots up.
Brannigan, Comer not in it at all, Flynn excellent for the most part. Shane Walsh was imperious and the standout player by a country mile, no one else on the pitch to touch him.

Heard some chanting like that on and off in the first half alright. I thought it was Galway Galway Galway.

Well done Galway. Turned on the style in 2nd half when chips were down. Roscommon have to improve in the round 4 game.

The World Cup gets RTE2 + HD; Sunday Game RTE 1 + a fuzzy picture, hard to see the sliothar

don't know what you're tuned  to but I'm watching RTE One HD

On Sky channel 161; is there another channel with HD?

Don't know about the North to be honest.

Is Johnny Maugham encumbered with a tool of a father ?

What an idiotic comment to make.Would expect a bit more on this forum than that.

Indeed. Delighted Mayo hammered them when such asshole like comments such as this one was made.

Croatia are playing Nigeria in Kaliningrad. Until 1945 it was a German city, in Prussia, called Königsberg. Nobody talks about Prussia any more.

Bismarck must be turning in his grave.
