Replying To Seanfan:  "Quite a lot of people in the "South" will be happy ye lost.
Especially the families of Séamus Quaid, Gerry McCabe, Patrick Kelly, Gary Sheehan, Frank Hand, Michael Clerkin, Tom Oliver, Eamon Ryan.... ...."
The Republican movement didn't actually lose, they just couldn't achieve immediate victory through an armed campaign.

If a United 32 County Ireland that is free from British rule is achieved in the coming years stemming from the GFA, then the Republican movement did win, just not in the way first envisaged. And based on recent census data trends in the North, we are currently on a trajectory for a clear majority in the North who politically woulds support a United 32 County Ireland in the next 10 -15 years.

The body count attributed to the British rule in Ireland from Plantation, to Oliver Cromwell campaign and the famine is close to 2 million Irish deaths, a lot of families in both the North and South will be happy to see the back of their rule.

This probably won't get past the thought police but I hate the way now on RTE sports news they mention some team like Chelsea or Arsenal or whoever and you think it's men's soccer they are talking about only for it to be women's soccer;
They might thing it's great and woke but it does women's soccer no favours imo anyway.

Sometimes I hear them mention Galway cork GAA whoever and I think it's Gaelic Football only for it to be about hurling

I do be fuming with the wokeness

How should they describe the arsenal Chelsea teams and what is woke?

it adds up Rte would talk about these teams as have a bit of Irish involvement

When do they mention just Galway GAA as opposed to football or hurling? I think you're reaching there and trying to be clever lad.

Replying To CTGAA10:  "As a Liverpool supporter the performances have been bad since march when they had league won..the new contracts to salah and vvd seem to have been very negative for them..I know Kelleher wanted first team football but he is huge loss..Diaz aswell always gave everything and is flying at Munich..eketite looks miles ahead of Isak and should be main striker..the players brought in aren't a patch on those that are gone..also to be fair I don't think anyone knows the affect of jota passing has had on players.
I won't be surprised if the suffer another defeat to West Ham and I'd say slot could be gone if that happens.I'd settle for a top 6 finish at this moment but even that I have doubts about."
Yeah if Liverpool get embarrassed again today I believe Slot is gone. Defending Champions and they spent the most in the off season…..terrible return on the investment. It's a business and someone will have to pay. I believe it will be Slot.
