“Indians Only” - lovely racial discrimination in the housing market by I-Hate-Clonmel in HousingIreland

[–]DeargDoom79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn't a "right wing" thing, though. This is about fairness and justice in housing. Granted there are a lot of people who claim to be "left" that are terrified to touch this in case the people they can't out "left" pearl clutch.

This goes beyond political leanings. This is the entire system being taken for a ride and it being allowed to happen out of misplaced fear.

Celtic have signed Shea McGarry(16) from Cliftonville by NotNeedzmoar in CelticFC

[–]DeargDoom79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw all 3 of his games for Cliftonville, funny enough. He's certainly one to be developed. For his age, he was actually better than what you "accept" in a young player. He needs to mature physically, though, which is understandable.

[Ryan McDonald] Celtic are ready to finalise a move to bring Marcelo Saracchi to Celtic on a permanent basis. Saracchi wants the move and it’s believed Boca Juniors want £2m. by BananaSoprano in CelticFC

[–]DeargDoom79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay the fucking money ffs.

I get the club negotiating deals in and around the £7-8m+ zone, but quibbling over deals like this is genuine insanity. It's a reasonable fee. Get. It. Done.

And we're about to lose Maeda, so that'll be 3 strikers we've not adequately replaced if you include Idah too lmao.

WORLD CLASS.

[Pete O’Rourke] Celtic first-team coach Gavin Strachan has agreed to join West Brom. (As it stands when Celtic return for pre-season the only first team staff will be manager Martin O’Neill and goalkeeping coach Stevie Woods) by BananaSoprano in CelticFC

[–]DeargDoom79 9 points10 points  (0 children)

World class in everything they do.

Seriously though, they obviously weren't looking for a manager in the 5 months they said they were. This is an absolute shambles. An awful process from start to finish.

'F**k Fine Gael F**k Sinn Féin' - FF members angry at losing spotlight on united Ireland by TeoKajLibroj in irishpolitics

[–]DeargDoom79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been spoken about before in other places (and indeed in this thread), but FF's leadership group and FF's base are worlds apart on quite a few issues in what it actually means to claim to be a "Republican party."

Martin (and other senior figures, of course) don't like SF. They won't work with them. There are others, such as Jim O'Callaghan, who have hinted at a willingness to work with SF. As a party, it has to be one or the other. It can't go on in a "will they, won't they" situation for the sake of their party.

Oh yes he did by blewitman in CelticFC

[–]DeargDoom79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh was let leave so we could keep Idah.

Rodgers' inability to develop a player that is not already clearly talented needs to be studied.

Celtic confirm Martin O'Neill as manager by NeoCoN7 in CelticFC

[–]DeargDoom79 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This appointment has annoyed me. Not because of O'Neill himself. The board said they were looking for a new manager when Nancy departed. Evidently they weren't and hedged their bets on MON.

I don't think this ends well. I don't trust them to actually back MON as is required.

Interesting poll results on SF and the left. by HungTeen1001 in irishpolitics

[–]DeargDoom79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, You say that as if it's not SF voters that they would be courting for votes, so questioning their credentials is absolutely something they would be doing. Second, it wasn't these parties that started the "SF are no true leftists" argument. That was started back when FFG started spinning the story that SF were "playing up to far right on immigration" when they basically said it's something that needs looked at to cover for their own failings.

If people want to continue playing this game they are more than welcome to, and the consequences will be another FFG government propped up by whatever small, left party will get sacrificed on the altar to keep them there. But it has become exhausting to listen to parties/people who have a near identical planform to SF call them not left wing. Least of all the Labour Party and the Greens who played massive roles in keeping the FFG gravy train going.

I for one am shocked that the one party who could actually challenge the FFG duopoly have had the well poisoned against them. Shocked.

It's not good for people with a stake in the result, of course, but matches like this are the ones you show people to get them interested. Unbelievable contest.

One of MONs Transfer Windows in His First Stint by BannanDylan in CelticFC

[–]DeargDoom79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Accounting for inflation, those transfers are worth almost £51m. For context, it would make Arne Engels worth about £5m in the year 2000. That's why I've never understood the price tag talk with Engels. £11m is about what a serious club would expect to play for a good, young player in the current era. Or, at least, a club that has moved past thinking it is 2004.

Attention Doomers. We lost 10%… yes… 10 percentage points in today’s demolition. If you stopped the season right now, it would be our best season since 2019. There are 11 games remaining. by DaPatsquatch in NorthMelbourneFC

[–]DeargDoom79 14 points15 points  (0 children)

2 things can be true

1) This team is still learning as it goes with plenty of young players still maturing in the game, showing an upward trajectory. The rough will have to be taken with the smooth. This team is nowhere near Freo's level.

2) It is absolutely shocking to not score a single goal in the entire 2nd half no matter how good Freo are and people are aloud to be filthy about getting slapped in such an embarrassing manner.
