Surely, when they look at the mess that's the UK's been in, anyone with half a brain would realise this is madness
Lets face it - the brits did it 'cos of da foreigners'
And the foreigners have never been spilling into the country quicker
Even the far right looney bins can see that? No?
You make the false assumption that the public have half a brain.

Was it a revenge attack for decades of oppression on the Palestinians?
Was it an attempt to start a war?
Was it an attempt to derail the normalization of relations between Israel and other Muslim Countries?
Netanyahu was like Tyson Fury on Saturday night and would likely have been removed from office. Why did they give him this lifeline ?
On a scale of 1-10 how did they think Israel would respond ? (1 being do nothing, 10 being dropping a nuke)
All of the above.
If you're living from one aid drop to the next, being picked off and slaughtered day and daily by the IDF in both the Gaza strip and even still in the West Bank you've nothing to lose.
Did it play into Netanyahu and his ultra right wing partners in government hands? To an extent but it may well suit the Palestinians in the longer term with how Netanyahu has went on a genocidal rampage in the Gaza strip.
Those who have turned a blind eye to the atrocities carried out by the IDF for decades can no longer sit by and watch and now I think we're seeing the start of something better for Palestine as there's no way Netanyahu and the Israelis can be seen to have benefited from this genocide.
The Us can no longer be seen to be neutral in this conversation as it never was.
Couldnt all Whiteys questions be similarly asked of Irish rebellions. We were a small, poorly armed peasantry resisting the biggest empire in the world. Could we not ask why did our crazy ancestors rebel in 1641, 1798, Robert Emmett, 1916, Tan War, Troubles. Sure didnt we know what would come to us?

If Donald Trump said that we would all be aghast. Its clear there is zero difference between Biden and Trump, 2 cheeks on the same arse. He is right though, there is no equivalence between Hamas and Israel. One is an invader, armed to the teeth with the highest tech weapons imaginable holding millions of people in an open air prison and committing Genocide. The other is a resistance movement firing the equivalent of bows and arrows at their more powerful occupier. Definitely no equivalence.
Western standards laid bare for all to see:
When he received threats not to go after Israel,
@KarimKhanQC
reveals "a senior leader" told him the ICC "is built for Africa and for thugs like Putin", and not for the West and its allies.
He should be careful or he might end up in a helicopter or car crash.

However, are the GAA themselves not in the middle of a tendering process which is delaying it anyway? Is the British Government holding that up? Is there a point in the British Government declaring what they can put forward until the total cost is known?
Is it out for Tender at the moment? If I was a company considering tendering for this, I'd be looking at it thinking I've no idea what the budget will be as the funding isnt there. Is it worth the risk of tendering (with all the associated costs of that) to perhaps get excluded as our price exceeds a budget yet to be agreed.
Quote from: theskull1 on May 21, 2024, 09:25:27 AMIf your club has a senior reserve/second team, how many games have they played this year?
Does anyone else think it's a metric that's not getting much attention but should be?

Quote from: imtommygunn on May 20, 2024, 10:41:53 AMDavy and Lohan have a very unhealthy relationship. I expect it's the same for a good few of them. I don't know the full ins and outs but a lot of stuff there with his da etc.

Then you have Harry Kane still waiting after all those minutes of action.
I thought you had to play a certain amount of games to get a medal. That was the case for the premier league anyway , not sure about the cup competitions
5 games for a league medal but is there an exemption fot keepers.

From what I saw it was minimal contact, we get refereed in such a different way to the other teams.
Quote from: thewobbler on May 20, 2024, 10:08:42 AMI truly despise how football analysts become cheerleaders for what they want to happen, rather than call it as it is.
A handball that gains a man an advantage has to be accepted a foul, regardless of intent or hand position. If not, they should just abolish the rule completely.
Quote from: lurganblue on May 20, 2024, 09:23:12 AMI saw a snap of the run to the finish line from Arsenal and it was pretty impressive too. The loss to Villa at home was a killer blow, while the city juggernaut rolled on.
Quote from: imtommygunn on May 20, 2024, 09:15:50 AMTipp were in it at half time and just after it for a bit too is the mad thing. They seemed to capitulate. Your man Kingston (not to take away from him) scored 4 points in a row from more or less the same place on the pitch. Would you not think they'd maybe get wise to that either management or players??
Can't see Waterford taking anything from Limerick as Limerick will be out to get to the final. What I do expect is Davy to be wired to the moon for it.
