Replying To jm25:  "NFL players have been taking a knee for anthem for decades not that it was relevant to my post

Bit woke getting offended by people taking a knee"
I thought it was pathetic, not offensive.

If same hysteria took hold now i have little doubt there would be insisting in GAA joining the charade.

Replying To supersub15:  "I understand, for cultural reasons I only support one my self, like yourself I like watching rugby like Ireland and Leinster and sometimes I find my supporting one or the other depending on who they are playing if that makes sense."
You support one team, but sometimes you support one or the other.

You have to be related to Tom Smith.

Replying To Pope_Benedict:  "You might look ok with 'ball in hand', but Shane Horgan said we lack pace everywhere, and if you lack pace in rugby, you likely won't trouble top opposition. As any self respecting alickadoo will tell you, 'pace is to rugby as length is to golf'. I think we need new talent, and looking at the last decade impact of Bundee, Lowe, Gibson-Park, Hansen etc, at least we know now where to find talent for the Irish side."
'As any self respecting alickadoo will tell you, 'pace is to rugby as length is to golf''. No they wouldn't.

A grand fight between Ireland and Italy for the big spoon.

Replying To BarneyGrant:  "Even the NFL have dropped that kneeling nonsense. Think FAI were among last to cop on to that."
They've dropped Croke Park from the away rota in 2026 too.
