"Well, the falkland islands is very interesting because here we go again. I remember as a young boy, pretty young boy anyway. But the falkland islands and, uh, I think it was a different country at that time, the uk a little bit, but they went in and they took it over. I'm not sure if they're doing that. They have a little problem with immigration. They have a little problem with energy and they have some other problems they have to take care of. So I don't know, you know, I don't know if they're going to be willing to travel that far. That is very far away. You're talking about weeks by boat."

I read this in his voice.

It's very funny. That's the headline from the whole trip already written.

[The level of intended terror however that was unleashed on the western world in 9/11, the london attacks etc... was unparalleled. Terror, not just destruction. It was designed for maximum chaos, pain, confusion - sheer terror.]

There is and should be no hierarchy of victims and tragedy in this world.

Israel aside, I do not think that was ever the MO of the US or UK in their responses and the execution of the "war on terror".

 

By whom?

I think some people feel that pain and suffering in some far away place in Africa is less to that when it was brought upon places like Madrid/Paris/London/New York and while that is a small small fraction of the carnage that goes on everywhere else, it was still horrific and terror

As said already and I've said it many times, there is zero hierarchy of victims and suffering, excusing/blaming is daft

My ask was meant to be who was responsible for the 9-11 attack?

It wasn't some yahoo stuck in a cave in Afghanistan, I think we all accept that.

I'd imagine there's  a  huge number still accepts  it was a yahoo in a cave in  Afghanistan.

Yes. It was a lunatic team of 20 or so lads with box cutters on a plane (at a time when this was allowed) who killed the pilots and crashed the planes.
The passengers were threatened with a fake bomb story on board by the hijackers to keep them subdued, which worked until plane number 4, united 93, which by that time received word that the planes were being used as missiles.

Why is this so hard for some people to accept? Do they think that being the only one "in the know" makes them smart?

Lol that's a dreadful headline error.

Tom Parsons solution in todays Irish news to the financial log jam is to amalgamate county minor and u20 squads into one age grade.

It's an article worth reading just for the sheer brass neck of the attitude.

For those at the back - the GPA is a trade union for inter county senior players. They don't care about Gaelic games.

That's mental stuff.
What are 18 year olds supposed to do for 2 years? This is the exact age many drop off when part time jobs, uni etc get in the way.

Aishlinn hit the nail on the head, even if she didn't mean it.

She wants the GAA to subsidise the intercounty camogie and LGFA players expenses.

I wonder what they get now for the CA and the LGFA!

Mary is taking down the patriarchy!

Men are frightened and fear the future

Taking down the patriarchy (that is 43% women).

Arajuo has as many Liverpool assists as Frimpong.

Any white smoke at Garvaghey yet?

Why haven't we changed the name of this thread to The DUPaedophiles Thread?

Because most people here are above the age of 15. And no political party or indeed walk of life is immune from paedophilia.

Cahair O'Kane has posted the clip Galbally have complained about on social media. They have a right to be annoyed by that. Its a shocking bit of refereeing albeit Conroy has likely been let down there by his linesman. Probably be thrown out but good to see a bad call like that get the spotlight shone on it.

Why what's wrong with it?

Because Galbally are claiming he recorded the point before going back to the booking. Therefore the point should have stood as per the rulebook. I'd imagine Galbally have consulted with their club referee and not just pulling this out of their ass.

Can't see in the footage if the referee records it or not. Nor can you see any signal from him when they scored the "point", only the umpire. Next time we see the referee he's in conversation with the linesman.

Who'd be a referee if this where it's going?

[Breaking News: Tyrone appeal the '95 All Ireland Final]

Think that Galbally appeal is a bit embarrassing, can't imagine the players were too happy seeing that.

The foul given was a foul. We need to move on or else we'll see

I think you just gave Tyrone Tribulations their next headline.

Why what's wrong with it?

Galbally have launched an appeal on their loss. Not to be surprised from a cowardly club trying to scrape back some dignity. Any other club would take thier medicine. Galbally had 3/4 chances to put that game out of reach. Embarrassing going to the CCC

Just saw that. What happened that they're annoyed about?

Where have you seen this?

Teamtalk. I heard it's in relation to a galbally point that was ruled as a trillick free after the referee consulted with the linesman.

Its a bit sad and desperate to be honest. Considering they were 7(?) up with 20mins to go, they should be pointing the finger closer to home.
