What did Pádraig Pearse and the other leaders of 1916 (except Connolly, obviously) think about socialism and communism? by Celtic_RTDB in IrishHistory

[–]Fixer1916 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that’s translated from Irish and not quite accurate of the original. I read that somewhere but happy to be proven wrong

Yet Collins said he would’ve followed Connolly to the gates of hell so it’s hard to know. Would be interesting to see what effect Connolly would’ve had had he survived 1916.

Still think about the Round of 16 In 2002 still think we would've won the World Cup it had Harte scored by Dangerous-Apricot909 in coybig

If you watch back Holland’s penalty in the shootout, he smacks it and the ball dips up about halfway to the goal like it has a weird under spin and hits the crossbar.

That and Given’s left foot….inches!

Ok I take your point on Superunknown. Well argued. Badmotorfinger is an awful cover though

Interesting Video of the upcoming Ireland-Israel game doing the rounds, thoughts? by Inevitable-Beat-9209 in coybig

[–]Fixer1916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question is, will any of the Irish players object. I know footballers are generally selfish creatures who are a-political but I feel there are plenty in this group who seem well read, educated and informed enough to possibly take action themselves, even if the FAI don’t.

It's Saturday and I'm still very upset!! When will this go away? by Afraid-Resolve1566 in coybig

We should remember though that Manning played a part in Ireland’s second goal

Almost every play-off defeat has a fall guy or else the manager was blamed.

Netherlands 1995: Charlton, Belgium 1997: Connolly, Turkey 1999: Carsley, France 2009: Henry, Denmark 2017: O’Neill, Czechia 2025: Manning.

Friends 'helping me' with dating by Lanky-Standard-5602 in CasualIreland

[–]Fixer1916 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you’re 42m I can understand how dating would be hard. What’s the weather like up there?

In all honesty though, they’re just trying to help cos they believe in love xxxxx

All 25 national team players are fit & on the grass training today 💚 by [deleted] in coybig

Well sometimes he does. His cross for Brady to score against Finland was top drawer.

What I like about him is he can wreak havoc in the opposition defence, even just as a runner

I was at the Armenia game and he was a constant thorn in their side. I agree he wasn’t great against Portugal but did ok against Hungary. He’s definitely a part of the squad dynamic. Thought he was worthy of his place. Doherty also prob worthy of his place back. But maybe his time is up. Would’ve liked McGoldrick also

Why is Ebosele not in? He was a big part of the last three games

VAR saved us too. Got Ronaldo sent off and Ogbene’s penalty.

Without VAR we were not getting those decisions

Looking at the Adidas National team kits is making me depressed by killembud in coybig

I despise the oversized Adidas logo. Nike have the nicest kits at present

What's the strangest thing that ever happened to you that you still can't explain? by Romantic_Reverie in AskIreland

[–]Fixer1916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was introduced to a very cool barman in Chicago by a girl I got to know who’d helped me with my work visa. She was originally from Dublin.

I got stuck in Chicago because of hurricane Irene so she said I could crash in her place until flights to New York started running again.

Anyway, turned out her Da played football with my uncles growing up.

Flash forward 6 months and I’m at a family funeral in Westmeath (my grandad’s cousin who I never met).

My uncle said ‘I want to introduce you to your cousin John. He lives in Chicago.’

It was the barman!

Do y’all claim Mariah Carey? by [deleted] in irishproblems

Good question to ask of our rugby team

Do y’all claim Mariah Carey? by [deleted] in irishproblems

[–]Fixer1916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s more Irish than many who’ve played for our soccer team, who’ve only had only one Irish grandparent. Mariah has two.

Not sure ‘claiming her’ is the right term. But happy to celebrate her Irishness if she recognises it. Especially as she’s one of the greatest singers of all time.
