It's the arrogance of the left/woke that bugs me, they try and put anyone who opposes their left wing views as the uneducated far right,
ignoring and trying to trample down the views of the common people is having the opposite effect of what you woke lefties are trying to achieve.
On a sperate note the 'coalition of the willing' the Brits and others are talking about for Ukraine, where is the coalition of the willing talk to protect the innocents in Gaza?"
Where do take the liberty from my post to deduce that I am a "woke leftie"? Wake up and smell the coffee. The world is passing you by. From your post you would be quite at home in the bosom of Mr Trumps inner circle. Left, right or centre, that is no place for anybody with half a brain to be.

Trump has a vision of transforming GAZA into Dubai, and to accomplish this, he would need to demolish GAZA completely before starting construction. It's a real estate deal, and the fact that there are 2 million Palestinians in the way, doesn't faze him or Netanyahu, who are razing GAZA to the ground. Trump and his cohorts are busy enriching themselves, his recent dismissal of tech tariffs, his adulation of tech oligarchs, his insider trading will definitely benefit his circle. He is brave in dealing with Palestinians and Iran, but caves to Russia and China. His MAGA is a joke!

How do you know what's passing anyone by? As an anonymous poster on a forum replying to another anonymous poster?

With respect, what's this got to do with you ?? I'm just expressing an opinion and got labelled for something I'm not. At nearly 80, I'm a bit hardy to be labelled a Woke Leftie, don't you think ?

'Hardy'? Depends in your definition. You don't seem to like the opinions of anyone that doesn't align with your own. As we're both anonymous posters on a forum and I don't know you, I can't say that this is true.

What cool aid have you been drinking.
The irony of you saying the arrogance of left trying to force their views on wvwryine when by and large many on left simply want free choice and its those on right who want to limit freedoms.

Again, can you show me where I don't agree with anyone's opinions or is this just a game with you. I simply state my opinions. Everyone has one and I respect their right to express it. I didn't disagree with any of Tirchonails opinions, apart from his labelling of me. I don't disagree with yours - should you decide to post them. I don't label him, you or anybody. So, very best of luck and good health to you and him.

Not sure where I fit in to this right/left divide, I'm probably fairly centrist in my views,
The woke types seem so angry and self righteous and seem ready to jump down the throat of anyone that doesn't agree with their world view.
Must go and take a look out the window G&R, apparently the world is passing me by!!

Heart attacks and all, fair play to him, he doesn't believe in doing it the easy way. Definitely the best ever from this island. Let's see how long it will be before the ". He isn't Irish" brigade get on. They are already on some radio stations.

The left/woke wing are angry and jump down the throat to anyone that doesn't agree with them? seriously? Have you observed Trump and how he deals with criticism and people not falling in line with his views? He is refusing to talk to 'liberal' media or threatening them with litigation or worst still firing anyone that investigated his crimes or looked into his financial or personal issues- is he not a snowflake himself?

Fair play to Rory. What a brilliant achievement. All the more remarkable when you consider all the setbacks. He really made it awkward for himself at times yesterday but you can only applaud the sheer resilience and determination to eventually see it out. Fair play to Justin Rose too. I thought he was out of the running afetr Saturday but he battled back into contention really impressively. He comes across as an absolute gentleman and sportsman. Unlike some of the other players.

It is really remarkable that Ireland has produced such an elite golfer. His name now belongs beside those other golf legends who achieved the Grand Slam. Superb stuff.

Showed all his potential on 'Kelly' years ago, chipping into the washing machine without any blips. Chipped into Raes Creek last night as well.

He came through the Irish system and represented Ireland at elite level.

To be fair to him he's been quite open about how he identifies himself.

He's an individual for all of us to celebrate

Lol, it was at that point last night that I thought Rory was starting to take the **** with all of our nerves.

It was incredible sport.

Did any of you see the Chicago Bulls last second 3 pointer to defeat the Lakers there a few weeks ago? It was another mental sporting moment.

2025 has been brilliant for sport so far. Hoping Donegal continue the trend ;)
