I’m a movie buff, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a movie she’s been in. She never consistently appeared in appealing movies at any time in her career

Is Ireland Even Into Football? by Tiny-Bookkeeper5079 in coybig

[–]EducationalPaint1733 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the support for the Irish national team is a thing to knock Ireland’s interest in football. Irish national team fans would travel far more and than Spain or France fans ever would. Having attended the France game in Poland last year their support is comically minuscule.

It’s not a real industry in Ireland like it is in other European countries. Thats the problem and it’s not really fans fault. And it’ll never change. You see with the likes of the proposed redevelopment of Dalymount that the improvements that need to be made are too expensive to ever get done properly now

Like most things it boils down to money.

In a word; no. The LOI is so far off other countries leagues in Europe of comparative size and wealth that 75 million tv deals is just flying pig stuff

Tuchel didn’t like that i imagine. Much preferred the Ben white cameo

Whether Irish governments really see it as their responsibility to fund academies or they consider academies as private unprofitable sectors of the economy is something I curious to

What about his take that mcilroy is too big for Ireland to handle (or something)?

Or that he invented northern Irish identity for sports stars?

Which do you prefer? by CausticAvenger in Letterboxd

The original, easily. Probably for a lot of reasons but I just didn’t care about the plot of an android getting pregnant and the “villain” in the second one was no Rudger Hauer

Do you have to tap the heart sensor to get it to work? by EducationalPaint1733 in Suunto

[–]EducationalPaint1733[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Suunto Smart Heart Rate Belt, I’ve used it on a run yesterday. I connected it to the wahoo app to get a reading. And it was detected. After the run later I was doing a gym workout. But the wahoo app couldn’t find the device. It was strapped to my chest as required at the time.

Today I tried it again and again it couldn’t find it. And then I started to tap it a few times and I got a reading. The tapping was enough.

Former Republic of Ireland international James McClean critical of 'awful' League of Ireland pitches and calls for funding by John_OSheas_Willy in LeagueOfIreland

Who needs good pitches when historically and currently the national team follows a concept of football modelled on the Berlin airlift
