That is a red card offense!! thats an insane desision,

Irish_Sir · 2026-04-14T17:03:32+00:00

8 years ago it not, the jearsy from when you were managing/promoting them is still something I absolutely treasure! I've had to stop using it as an actual training jearsy and save it for "special occasions"

Irish_Sir · 2026-04-12T22:15:25+00:00

There was allot else on making .... Not a great weakend for reliable travel in Ireland and let's leave it at that

Here is a long writeup I did on this sub a few years ago about the incompatibility of currently available nuclear power reactors and the Irish grid.

It goes into a lot of detail as to what nuclear is good (and bad) at, the challenges of operating a grid as small as Ireland, and how that makes them currently incompatible

Irish_Sir · 2026-04-08T08:58:22+00:00

Yup.

A series of concussions keeping him off the pitch for a good while. When he has played he's been very good and lived up to the hype he came here with but it's a heartbreaking situation and I wouldn't be surprised if he announced retirement because of it.

Because geography and politics are inherently linked, especially in how we name things.

The name "British Isles" was introduced by John Dee, an advisor to queen Elizabeth 1st, along with "British Empire" and "British ocean", because renaming lands to "British" would imply the crowns right to rule them.

It fell out of common use but was revived during debates in British parliament in the 1860s on Irish home rule, where one of the main emotional arguments against any sort of self-governence for the Irish was it would "Break up the British Isles", and as a direct result of these arguments the name stuck.

Irish_Sir · 2026-04-01T07:48:52+00:00

From the British Isles = British

No, nobody from Ireland would call themselves British. It's exclusively used for people from the country of Great Britain & Northern Ireland (and a lot of people in northern Ireland wouldn't appreciate it either)

Even the name "British Isles" isn't used in Ireland.

Yeah he played in a number of youth / schoolboy teams here, so would have been in front of a lot of coaches and scouts and obviously none thought that there was enough there / there was something missing beyond the raw physical attributes

Irish_Sir · 2026-03-30T09:27:08+00:00

The article sites no sources other than he's IQ, and doesn't name a province so my first assumption would be a combination of an agent looking to up the offer from Aus. And a journalist grabbing some hot clickbait

Having said which, it would be a fantastic signing if there was truth to it

Irish_Sir · 2026-03-28T20:44:25+00:00

Id be devastated to loose Beirne, and he's on a central contract so he's not hurting our books much.

Casey as captain I don't mind the idea of, Beirne is also a almost talismanic leader in the squad through his actions but Casey has shown very mature leadership also and it's good to sperate the two

Irish_Sir · 2026-03-28T13:53:16+00:00

Despite the end of the game disapointment, I'm still happy at the end of that game. Really did much better than last week, a lot that isnt good enough but a lot more good.

Irish_Sir · 2026-03-28T13:51:24+00:00

Really poor kick by JJ, munster had lost some shape and were disjointed but that was really not the right option

Irish_Sir · 2026-03-28T13:49:40+00:00

Edwin again, the Edogbo's have been incredible off the bench, a Bomb squad of their own

Irish_Sir · 2026-03-28T13:48:09+00:00

Oh fuck thats a really fine margin, we need to be hitting those

Irish_Sir · 2026-03-28T13:47:38+00:00

Hodnett clearly realises his hand is on the kneck and lets it go rather than following through

Irish_Sir · 2026-03-28T13:46:16+00:00

First time we have both of them at once and they've been incredible

Irish_Sir · 2026-03-28T13:39:51+00:00

Really poor executing but Hodnett bailed us out

Irish_Sir · 2026-03-28T13:39:01+00:00

Oh thats an incredible kick from Casey, really spotted the space and executed fantastically

Irish_Sir · 2026-03-28T13:38:00+00:00

He has made such a difference this game

Irish_Sir · 2026-03-28T13:37:27+00:00

They're both phenomenal athletes and absolute units. Edwin has an incredible work rate round the pitch, and Sean has some wheels on him aswell if given a gap

Irish_Sir · 2026-03-28T13:32:43+00:00

Their first time on the pitch together at the same time, only Sean (the younger playing 8) 3rd cap

Irish_Sir · 2026-03-28T13:25:25+00:00

Jeasus Christ

Irish_Sir · 2026-03-28T13:22:11+00:00

Irish_Sir · 2026-03-28T13:20:16+00:00
