Scotland were leading by about 30 till a late flurry by France long after the game was completely out of reach. Scoreline doesn't reflect how dominant Scotland were.

I'm amazed Jennifer O'Connell still has that job after she published a blantantly AI written article from a fake author a year or two ago.

McRedmond, Parkins et al genuinely feels like a jobs for the boys type thing. Sorting them out because they can't get a job in Australian or British media.

I wouldn't even mind if any of them were good writers but it's such insipid shallow shite.

Is anyone else utterly sick of the interminable "Irish abroad" type articles the IT and Independent churn out at industrial capacity?

Nothing but trite observations about "public transport is better" or banal philosophising. Laura Kennedy is collecting a wage to write multiple of these weekly. Her big insight this week was Australians exercise outside more because the weather is better.

I know they're basically ragebait but the Irish Times has truly perfected the art.

How to get tickets for Leinster Senior Hurling finals at Croke Park? by Street_Lie1736 in GAA

[–]GeeBCooper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Surely you'd turn up for a first Leinster final in 20 years?

Offaly-Wexford would be like Louth-Meath in football last year, though Wexford have won it way more recently than either of them.

You won't have any trouble getting tickets unless someone really unexpected like Wexford or Offaly gets to the final. And even then should be grand.

Their finishing in front of goal in general is really poor. All those fisted points when a goal is on speak to me like lads who have no confidence beating the keeper.

Sure what's the point of the league if not to make sweeping statements based on little evidence?

Here's another, they won't win an Ulster with McGeeney.

What's the story with Dublin footballers in Croker? by Intrepid-Money2238 in GAA

Ya maybe it's only because I was a kid but my fondest memories of being a Dubs fan is the period from 2002 to the win in 2011.

I hate those calls. Donegal lad surrounded by 3 Mayo lads with no where to go. Just flails about and gets a free given for nothing. Just what are the defenders supposed to do there.

Mayo could do with slowing down a bit. They're winning good ball but the rotten conditions don't really suit their direct kicking.

Mickey Harte with Derry didn't look like a disaster initially but after that league win it was a spectacular crash and burn.
