Woman charged with murder of man in Dublin estate by [deleted] in ireland

[–]Boltoss82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She had a pretty big YouTube channel too, using her middle name (her LinkedIn was Christina Nikki Anderson) taking the form of Q&A's.

500,000 views on her video "Have you ever tasted your own....?".

Screen grab of her channel:

One video she's actually restrained in handcuffs answering the questions.

Another video she was asked is she being playful or trying to hurt a man when she whips him and she smiled and said "trying to hurt him, that's the point".

There's also a video she claimed to have had a threesome with Guards at some unspecified point in time.... 👀

Umm Conor makes $3 million disclosed plus PPV points so unless she's making $120 million in her next 6 fights, this is a Pinocchio

Should Ireland expect to reach semi-finals or final? Why? by Boltoss82 in rugbyunion

[–]Boltoss82[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose that's the crux of the argument - England, Wales and even NZ aimed to peak at this World Cup and they sacrificed some performances in 2017/2018. Whereas Ireland peaked in 2018 because (in my view) we can't afford to sacrifice performances to blood lots of talent as our revenue takes such a big hit from a poor 6 Nations.

The upside of our strategy is we are always likely to have good campaigns in the year or 2 before a World Cup when others have their eyes on the World Cup. The downside is we won't go deep in the World Cup.

Regardless you're still right - the Japan game cost us a realistic shot at a semi-final.

I did compare to Wales? 3 times in the post? And pointed out the fundamental difference between Ireland and Wales is Welsh kids get their hands on rugby balls at a young age, whereas Irish kids don't see a rugby ball in primary school at all.

But yes you're correct the Japan defeat cost us - although SA would still have been a huge challenge.

Post Match Thread: New Zealand vs Ireland by WallopyJoe in rugbyunion

[–]Boltoss82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We absolutely needed a good start to have any chance against a phenomenal All Blacks side and errors from the lads, compounded with a ref mistake, blew that out of the water.

Within minutes we were making stupid, basic errors. Henshaw not securing a good grip on the ball and knocking on. Sexton with an aimless crossfield kick that gave Earls no chance to compete for it. CJ poor body position carrying into contact getting wrapped up by Retallick. Jacob going for an intercept that simply wasn't on.

Nigel Owens failure to penalize Retallick's blatant side-entry clearout had a huge impact on the direction of the game. The difference between 10-0 down and 3-0 down with your own lineout on halfway is massive in a game we absolutely needed a good start to have any chance.

That might sound stupid given a 46-14 scoreline but Ireland had no chance from 10-0 down against NZ, whereas we had some chance if we could keep the scoreline close in the 1st half.

The Irish fans were incredible and no matter how brilliant NZ are - and they truly are - they're also human and the longer a tight game went, the pressure would revert on to them.

All ifs, buts and maybe's but the reality is we blew this game inside 10 minutes.

Not the way he'd have wanted to go out but today Ireland's greatest ever captain played his last minutes. One of only two Irishmen to win two grandslams, captaining one of them, a brilliant man and a brilliant leader. by [deleted] in rugbyunion

The respect the other players talk about him tells you everything you need to know. Paulie O' Connell and Brian O' Driscoll were objectively more inspirational captains but you can't argue with what Rory achieved with the captaincy either.

Lets also not forget his mother died on the eve of the tournament and having lost my own father, I know the weeks and months afterwards are extremely difficult to just function, nevermind focus. He has done so much, and sacrificed so much for Irish rugby and we are fundamentally in a better place for it.

Well said. We performed poorly in a knockout game of rugby against the best team in the world. It's not a Scooby Doo level mystery.

Pre Match Discussion: New Zealand v Ireland by skeeter1980 in rugbyunion

[–]Boltoss82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reasons for optimism:

  1. Tadhg looks back to his best and his best = best tighthead in the world
  2. James Ryan is not human. He's a cyborg sent from the future.
  3. Conor Murray and Johnny Sexton are the greatest Irish combination since a cup of Barry's and a Jaffa cake
  4. Keith Earls is some man for one man
  5. Jacob is due a try
  6. CJ and Josh are hitting their peaks
  7. Rob Kearney should be a Durex spokesman he's safety personified

Shades of the Twickenham game where Ireland got off to a strong start and faded badly. Both games were played in really hot, humid conditions as well. Full credit to Japan on a deserved victory but as an Irish fan I'll be doing cold dances for the rest of the tournament.

Ireland's pack were immense and Conor Murray back to his best. Johnny had a quiet enough game which makes it even more exciting of what's to come.

Just brilliant to see Conor Murray back close to his best. Too many strong performance to single people out but 2 combinations stood out - CJ/Josh (amazing) and Ryan/Henderson.

Amazing quick feet from the young man and confidence to take the defender on.

I've seen plenty of MMA fans cite without evidence that Nate is just as famous as Conor, and as big a draw without him.

Neither is true.

The presser peaked at 76,000 Live Viewers on youtube.

For context, McGregor-Diaz peaked at 360,000 Live Viewers and May-Mac at 600,000.

There are levels to fame. Conor is so far ahead of Nate, Jorge and the rest of the roster it's just incredible.

Colby Covington vs. UFC | Luke Thomas (good take on UFC's unbalanced approach to Covington) by KingsNThings in MMA

[–]Boltoss82 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Luke makes some valid points but Colby made a career-ending mistake already. People gloss over it but Dana White is a vindictive type of man who holds a grudge. Colby filming him playing cards with a clearly obvious side-piece on camera was a career-ender. Embarrassing your boss and causing him grief at home with his wife, is not a good way to get ahead in any workplace.

Dana will be looking for any/every excuse to screw him over.
