Quote from: ck on June 13, 2024, 04:24:06 PMI don't listen to that Stephen Nolan guy on BBC cos he's a narcissistic wind up merchant who is very loose with the truth and likes to engage in hatred. A horrible human being who only has one core interest, himself. A man to be pitied.

Exactly same as Brolly.
Nolan and Brolly are definitely in the " ignore completely " category for me

Quote from: tiempo on June 05, 2024, 02:42:08 PMAny good cold war era spy series / movie recommendations?

The Americans
t**ker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
The Good Shepherd
No Way Out
Bridge of Spies
Charlie Wilson's War
Argo
Spy Game

Not Cold War, but if you want espionage, The Bureau (Le Bureau des Legendes) is the best written, most suspenseful, most thrilling and gripping depiction of it ever seen on screen, large or small. And it's not even close.
The Americans is a superb series

First time ever I think in  Castlebar today, obviously  hoping to get two points  but on a side note and after also being in Pearse Stadium  it highlights  big time how poor the facilities are in Celtic park ,(Toilet's and catering  facilities especially )

Quote from: Main Street on February 22, 2024, 01:48:50 PMTD4 was mush, the polar opposite of "natural Police"
I found TD2 watchable,the last episode wrapped it up nicely. S3 was excellent imo, I don't get why it's not rated favourably here.

After watching S1 I'd follow with S3, then see if you can watch S2. 

I Would second that recommendation

It's a long time since I last watched that but it's a hell of a movie. I can't believe it is 25+ years old. Crazy.

Brilliant movie, every now and again get a flashback of the kerb scene  :o

That scene is forever burnt into my head!


Likewise for me I have never watched that scene since

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on January 13, 2024, 01:36:22 AMDeclan Bateson played for the Convent. And Derry. There may have been somebody else before him but I doubt it saying boys were only admitted from 1978, the the class set up was a 2.1 basis meaning u only 50 boy intake per year for a long time.

Still going with Seamus Shivers.

3 December 1989

NFL Derry 3-5 Cork 4-12

Derry team: D McCusker; K McKeever, T Scullion, P O'Donnell; J McGurk (0-1), B McPeake (RIP), G McPeake; E Heaney, D Barton (0-1); S Shivers (1-1), PJ McCormack, M Berryman; R Scullion (2-2), L Devlin, J O'Neill. Subs: P Gribbin, E Gribbin.

Though I think maybe Barry Young from Glen also got an NFL game or two.
Seamus was some servant for Castledawson ,in the 84 county final he lined out for then and was still under 16 from memory
