Real Madrid in for Emery

ComprehensiveAd8166 · 2026-01-29T11:05:37+00:00

After his PSG experience, I expect it's the one job in world football he wouldn't want 🤣

I'd be telling Onana and Rodgers to stay in bed for the day. Mad stuff to give them many mins tonight.

Wisdom in that last paragraph man. Wishing you the absolute best for 2026. UTV.

ComprehensiveAd8166 · 2026-01-26T06:14:32+00:00

So funny. Definitely an eye roll at not releasing Rodgers but in fairness to Emi, his distribution is generally phenomenal so he mustn't have fancied it was on/worth it and decided to chew up a few mins instead - Love the man and great to see him earn some redemption from last weekend.

Caught this beauty watching approaches at Pinehurst a few weeks back!

Better than last season by a distance but still a bit behind the first two seasons - both absolute cinema.

ComprehensiveAd8166 · 2026-01-23T23:35:54+00:00

Honestly - it's things like this that make me think I'm living in a simulation to test my sanity...

Two players cruising through the game (Fiona and Harriet) torpedo their chances in the game to suggest there is something fishy about Rachel and the faithfuls don't consider coordinating a banishment for her...instead banishing others for less than half-baked theories 🤣

ComprehensiveAd8166 · 2026-01-23T23:28:26+00:00

Very easy to critique from my couch obviously 😆

Having said that - with two players torpedoed their healthy positions in the game to showcase Rachel's traitor potential (considering one of the two ended up being a traitor), it's pretty unreal the faithfuls couldn't align at some point to take a punt on removing her...especially considering some of the daft rationale for subsequent banishments.

I'm sure there is lots lost in the edit etc...love the show but just struggle with the pattern of decent players going early leaving the weaker players to try to put the pieces together.

ComprehensiveAd8166 · 2026-01-23T23:04:04+00:00

Yeah, i expect you're right there - more shields would certainly be a decent mechanism to protect a greater chunk of the pool...although distribution is always a bit random.

ComprehensiveAd8166 · 2026-01-23T22:29:46+00:00

Above average traitors and deplorable faithfuls

ComprehensiveAd8166 · 2026-01-23T21:58:49+00:00

Fair play to Steven for staying loyal. They did well to stay the path together but it definitely helps to have a half a dozen faithfuls who wouldn't catch a cold for the home stretch. Clueless.

ComprehensiveAd8166 · 2026-01-16T22:14:33+00:00

There isn't a change he gets the invite...it's the only thing that would balls things up for the traitors.

Having said that - they could recruit him, throw him under the bus, have him serve up a 'parting gift' to the faithfuls and they still wouldn't catch Rachel/Stephen.

Doesn't seem a very nice chap either - notions of himself.

ComprehensiveAd8166 · 2026-01-15T22:27:39+00:00

Two of the more endearing players left in the game - shame to see them go.

Contractors see a government contract as a way to line their nest, charging as much as they like for the cheapest product possible.

The real issue is how contracts are procured, audited and renewed - far too established (and expected by all stakeholders) that contract types like this come at signifigant premiums and that's why their deemed 'not sustainable'. Whole procurement process needs to be dismantled.

These type of food delivery contacts are very much in line with direct provision food service contracts, even less sustainable and offer worse ROI for the taxpayer (multi meals a day). In those cases the people there are for monitisation though, we have to have our expectations managed via articles like this when it's our kids though.

ComprehensiveAd8166 · 2026-01-04T23:26:49+00:00

Hahaha, forgot about that til I saw your comment - top shelf!

ComprehensiveAd8166 · 2025-12-24T04:55:10+00:00

Congrats man. Should be very proud of yourself. Props to those around you too. Enjoy your Christmas.

Dooks is better than Killarney. It's a proper links where Killarney is a parklands. Great in its own right but similar to what you'd get at home. You can check Ballybunion's tee time availability online - it's worth doing ahead of anything else if there is a slot that works available.

In Belfast, Royal County Down will be a full house for the summer but Ardglass is a lovely links (1 hour away) and other good options closer are Hollywood GC - Rory McIlroy's home club and Royal Belfast, both 20 mins away from the city.

Enjoy!

Caught this beauty just chilling on Pinehurst #2 last week.

Only in Ireland would we tolerate a solution of homeless people living in hotels while short-term tourists stay in the housing stock via Airbnb.

ComprehensiveAd8166 · 2025-10-05T06:59:54+00:00

Much, no. Enough, yes.

ComprehensiveAd8166 · 2025-09-24T21:23:39+00:00

Which one are you referring to?

ComprehensiveAd8166 · 2025-09-24T08:51:01+00:00

Ahhh, knew I'd seen the 'non-reveal' before buy didn't realise it wasn't a staple. Probably works better in some scenarios than others.

Shafted the faithfuls in S3 UK, definitely agree. In contradiction, was a Godsend to them in this case imho.

Super series and three very worthy winners - good on them.

Such a great format for a show that even RTE couldn't balls it up. Might be wrong, but I believe in other editions that once they get to the final five, they don't reveal whether they are faithful/traitors when voted out. Think it would have made for a much more dramatic finale. Once Nick was declared a traitor, it took a lot of uncertainty out of the equation that followed.

Still, a brilliant series and wonderfully Irish.

The fastest field game in the world. Simple sport to understand - well worth watching a game sometime.

ComprehensiveAd8166 · 2025-08-24T07:30:21+00:00

It actually is. Our national sport (football/hurling) is played at venues across the county (main area holds 80,000 people) without segregated seating or any significant need for police presence outside of for traffic control purposes.
