Have to say the man is genuinely hilarious and capable of hitting a home run now and again.

Joyce did say his aim was an AI when he took over, and it was seen as ambitious, but were Dublin not in their pomp at the time and people were resigned to their dominance? Kerry and Mayo were seen as the legitimate challengers. So while expectation did rise in this tenure, the football landscape has changed dramatically too. It's a much more open competition. Not saying he may not have improved them, but I don't think this current Galway team would stay with prime Dublin. And they played some poor stuff at times too. Time will tell if he overachieved or was actually the wrong man at the right time.

Not beyond the realms of possibility if he has a great season but he'll be kicking the arse of 30 by then. Surely Utd will have learned and cash in on him instead.

US looks a basket case politically at the moment. All upmanship. Until they get their house in order, get over each other and pull together politically for the better of the nation, or have their fecking civil war, whatever it takes, cos as it stands they're impossible to deal with. Agreements written in pencil couldn't describe them any better. Because you just don't know what's coming 4 years down the line.

Brits not much better politically but most of the harm they're doing to themselves. At least a trade deal with them will have value or credibility.

Yes China can't believe their luck. Talk about blowing your toes off.

Pencil, or in Trumps case crayon!

Definitely a touch of crayon but Trump is just one American. There's 350 million more of them. If he were to drop dead today I'm not sure how much changes, embarrassing tantrums aside.

Could see a massive upturn in performance by Rashford this season. Running into last year of contract end of season so likely up for renewal discussions next summer. It's his form.

A short clip from journalist Henry Winter came up on my social media feed where he claimed Rashford was great at Barcelona and Aston Villa so why didn't either make an effort to sign him permanently?

He also claims Rashford is at his best when he's liked,

To be liked is your own responsibility and is Rashfords past carry on off the field and sulking on the field suddenly going to change to be liked?

He didn't try to hard too be liked toward the end of his first spell. Time will tell if he is willing to dig in and fight when it matters.

Still wish he had the attitude to play as a striker as I think he would offer more and score more goals with Bruno playing passes in behind for him to run on too. But he doesn't seem to want to do that for some reason.

Didn't he sulk with Mourinho because he wanted to play central but Jose said he wasn't suited. Eventually got his chance, and low and behold first few clatters he got in the back from CHs he didn't want to know anymore. Was out with a back injury too for good measure.

It sounds very precious but he's probably just a bit neurotic.

Did I read something once where McClaren or Rangnick commented on him in training? Basically very hard to coach and takes advice as criticism and goes into a shell.

I'd say his current contract and future wage demands are the biggest obstacle to new deals with other parties. I'm sure he'll go all out this year to secure one big final contract.

Wonder is Ms Keane aware our patron Saint was a bloody foreigner who introduced ME religion to this country.

If he picks up no chronic injuries, why would he slow down? It's not like professional football where you're forced to retire because the body can no longer do it. An even then players have serious difficulty adjusting to normality and not being in the thick of the action.

McIlroy strikes me as the type of guy who loves the attention and fully at home in the glare of the cameras with a heap of microphones to philosophise into on every single subject and person he is asked about. Plus there's the legacy issue. He has a bit of catching up to do on a couple of the greats and what was predicted for him when he first started out. I'm sure he's motivated enough to win more majors.

[The US is an absolute enemy of the peoples of Europe at this stage]

Top military men are said to be very worried about the use of a nuke on Iran. Likely a "tactical" one to try and claim victory.

The US is an absolute enemy of the peoples of Europe at this stage.

In a roundabout long term way Trump might be their greatest gift. A major weakness in the EU is lack of natural resources and having to import a lot. Trump has opened the door to greater cooperation with Canada, culturally much more aligned to European values than US.

If the Dems get in during the midterms they will have to deal with a debt crisis.
The US has 40tn in debt and interest rates are going up and they have a deficit of 5%.

Maybe Trump wasn't lying when he said he'd run the country like a business. Unfortunately for the Yanks, it might very well be like one of his casinos.

Hard to know how much of that article is actually true but if the Dems get control of Congress after the mid-terms the current administration won't be able to railroad their way out of the mess they've currently made. Could see the Dems f**king them over big time no matter the collateral damage to the military. Things could get very ugly.

I'd say homeschooling could have been a lot of it. Lacking a lot of social skills and cop on that he would have had to learn quick in secondary. 2nd years would have had a field day with him and his nonsense.

Coupled with the fact that his "teacher" was a bona fide nut job, I suppose he's about as good as he'll ever be.

One agitating hoor.
