Title: Time Travel
Post by: Milltown Row2 on May 14, 2024, 09:15:45 AM
Always loved a good time travel film or book, loved the film About time, very simple approach to what could do with the ability to time travel.

So if you had 3 attempts to travel back in time, with these three options below

1. Go back and have a word with yourself- What would you say?
- believe in yourself

2. To witness a great/infamous event, be it your own or other event (give reasons)
- when Charles Poyntz defended Poyntzpass from the last strands of Earl of Tyrone's army. I would love to see the lay of the land of my homestead.

3. To change something, but beyond your DOB and reasons
- Battle of Kinsale, and tell the Earl of Tyrone that he had the English bate, or
- Wake up Brian Boru and get him out of that tent before the Dane arrived.

1. Go back and have a word with yourself- What would you say?
- go for it, life is too short

2. To witness a great/infamous event, be it your own or other event (give reasons)
- 1947 All Ireland Final in New York.

3. To change something, but beyond your DOB and reasons
- 1798 when the two religions of this country stood together to fight the English. I'd go back in time with some weapons to make sure the right side won.

Are we allowed to financially gain from 1? Like Biff in Back To The Future II can we take back all the sports results or tell ourselves to throw money into Apple stocks?

#1. take a chance, if you fail, do it again, no shame.

#2 Maybe Marvin Hagler V Sugar Ray Leonard (and hopefully Hagler wins this time), Arsenal V Man Utd 1979 FA Cup final

#3  Tell the Mayo goalkeeper to run and catch the ball in the last seconds of 1996 all Ireland final, and not to let it hop on the 14 yard line and go over the bar.
wait #3 could take a while .......

- you can do anything you want to , if you put your  mind to it

To witness a great/infamous event, be it your own or other event (give reasons)

- my own county winning the All Ireland  (no reason needed)

To change something, but beyond your DOB and reasons

- send a  few bags of bibs and footballs to Saipan  well in advance of  Irish team arriving. I do believe Ireland could have reached  the 2002 final had Keane been there
