Replying To Breffni40: "Don't be disengenuous. You know full well it's related to numerous previous posts. You've made it abundantly clear how you feel about certain people. Own it." Which ones? What have you to say of Lemaitre and the relevant points? BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3226 - 05/12/2024 12:43:03 2582463 Link
Does anyone know the origan of the word Xmas.? supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 3082 - 05/12/2024 13:22:52 2582476 Link
Replying To BarneyGrant: "Which one is that? Feel free to repost. You were promising all manner of evidence regarding opting out of Irish. Tumbleweed ....." Are you joking me? I explained in many posts. But you know what i will get you figures tomorrow based on 2 schools i work in just so you can stop posting nonsense. All you had to go on was " i heard it from a teacher". You posted something absolutely off the wall saying if you were culturally relevant or played GAA you would be automatically on television. Something along those lines. You went quiet after the post and now expect me to trawl through pages and pages to find it. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 8191 - 05/12/2024 14:39:22 2582496 Link
Replying To BarneyGrant: "Which ones? What have you to say of Lemaitre and the relevant points?" I'd be more Everettian in my outlook Breffni40 (Cavan) - Posts: 12224 - 05/12/2024 14:39:24 2582497 Link

There is of course a huge and growing ignorance of and avoidance of our own culture including the language and sports and music. If you were in the least familiar with Dublin communities and schools in heavily immigrant and in some case majority areas you would realise that there is no interest on their part in these things. Same applies I am certain in other parts of the country. Any African who speaks Irish or plays GAA has probably been on TV at some stage. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3191 - 05/11/2024 13:58:24 2578459 There you go. That last line is one of the dumbest things i have ever read on here.

The classic open-minded, legitimate concerns logic of slating people for not assimilating into their own specific idea of culture and also slating them for genuinely assimilating into that culture too, maybe even going as far as calling it cultural appropriation. It's almost like it's not about the culture at all Breffni40 (Cavan) - Posts: 12224 - 05/12/2024 15:49:01 2582511 Link

Replying To ForeverBlue2: "On a totally different note… the Irish ladies soccer team were woefully poor last night… they have seriously regressed under their current management.. How on earth some of these players are getting paid for playing is beyond me… some haven't the most basic skills and were still on the pitch near the end,…. changes were left far too long.. Wales are a seriously average team … the big difference is that they had a manager and we hadn't…!" A lot of goodwill lost towards the team since the World Cup the way pauw was treated. jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1300 - 05/12/2024 16:22:58 2582519 Link
Replying To Pope_Benedict: "No, but googled it there, and I do now." I Googled it myself but I wasn't convinced it was too simplistic so I went further and found it, it seems as if Google doesn't know everything. But thanks anyway. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 3082 - 05/12/2024 16:48:09 2582525 Link
After falling flat on their faces the other night I wonder who Katie will blame for the women's team losing this time? oneoff (UK) - Posts: 1485 - 05/12/2024 19:00:06 2582541 Link

Replying To oneoff: "After falling flat on their faces the other night I wonder who Katie will blame for the women's team losing this time?" She could start with herself….. was doing everything possible to get sent off… She is a very talented player but a loose cannon at the best of times… ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 3150 - 05/12/2024 19:38:21 2582546 Link
Replying To oneoff: "After falling flat on their faces the other night I wonder who Katie will blame for the women's team losing this time?" I think Katie should realise that she is no Roy Keane and concentrate on playing football. She had a few unflattering words to say about the Welsh attitude prior to the second leg and then was very lucky to not get a red in the first half.

Replying To oneoff: "After falling flat on their faces the other night I wonder who Katie will blame for the women's team losing this time?" Hype on speed. That's what the women's team is. Similar to the men's by the way. Limited talent that would be an achievement for any good manager to raise above the mediocre. PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 1965 - 05/12/2024 21:28:18 2582559 Link

It was taken out in my previous post but outside the obvious who has been in media in recent weeks hard to think of a less likeable sportsperson we have produced jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1300 - 06/12/2024 09:08:55 2582591 Link
