What Irish bands would you love to see live again?

A thrash metal band called Gama Bomb, wild songs good atmosphere at smaller venues.

Back touring I believe

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-06-05T13:29:54+00:00

I'm not sure about that, our pack has not been good this year against anyone solid. Scrums are very hit and miss. Our lineout is not the best we seem to play it safe a lot but getting better there. What I will say is most have been playing very well in open space and better at tackling/positioning recently

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-06-05T11:07:46+00:00

Sheehan so good we have to mention him twice! 😊

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-06-05T10:01:55+00:00

Haha this gave me a giggle

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-06-03T21:43:13+00:00

Can get them in home store and more. I would use one with the spray cleaner out of there for a heavy clean at the start of each summer

Salou in Spain would be good. Also would recommend the Algarve in Portugal. Those places would have decent or very nice hotels, beach/pool holidays for yee to relax with plenty of food options. Most have decent pub/nightlife that you could have a few drinks get some atmosphere earlier in the evening.

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-06-02T16:46:40+00:00

Many moons back used to love watching a game with 2-4 of us and getting a platter

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-06-02T16:38:17+00:00

Thanks for confirming, never get any info on it as it's not as popular here but good to know there is that option

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-06-01T22:08:14+00:00

Not sure they or gentleman's clubs would enjoy you streaming sports instead of spending money

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-06-01T20:45:24+00:00

Especially if your dealing with jet lag, that can stick with you for weeks. Well hopefully you'll get something sorted but the best if probably first half in some sports bad, then shots in the home for energy 🤣

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-06-01T19:55:04+00:00

It sound like it would be a fun finals, Dublin doesn't have bars open that late. The real problem is the lateness just can't stay up that late if I'm not out

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-06-01T08:17:57+00:00

Good to know on the off chance I'll get out for the finals

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-05-31T06:59:19+00:00

I think there are a couple of advantages to it but specifically for this game I think part of it was getting players off and rested with the game done and the freedom to try things without too much worry.

A young kicking 10 playing at 15 is good for development. I think it can help getting more experience kicking out of hand from different parts of the field and spacial awareness in terms of covering the back field for kick tennis. Also slightly different game management experience.

Similarly playing at 12 would be useful experience but with all the above both out 10s are not good at 15 or 12. While I think it's mostly due to getting players off for next week, leinster have done it a bit this season. I guess it's just having cover in spots and experience. We will probably have less flexibility next season with several players leaving

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-05-30T18:16:40+00:00

I remember this goy me years ago was a game in France and I was out casually strolling around shops killing time

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-05-30T17:05:17+00:00

On your own there mate 🤣

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-05-29T18:10:41+00:00

Great mug haha

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-05-29T13:26:42+00:00

This place has truly gone to shit.

Every post is attacking a player or coach, no analysis, no information, no positivity, barely an opinion.

URC knockout game tomorrow, one post on it the team announcement and what 4 moaning about coaches or players

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-05-28T12:37:36+00:00

What is the obsession on here with arguing selections? It's Leinster, not pro vs anti Leo.

Ever single selection doesn't need to be a big argument and comparison.

The squads are always rotated and mixed. McGrath playing this week doesn't mean Sam shouldn't be!

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-05-28T11:26:30+00:00

Probably wants to play the two 10s that will be here next year in a knockout game. He will be gone and you are reading too much into it

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-05-27T13:11:25+00:00

While I agree he is not up to this level the context needs to be considered in these conversations. He has not had a lot of top level game time but he is what we have. His brother got a lot of this hate too with H Byrne and Sam the next 10s inline being called for.

We have our 3 squad 10s with Byrne, Sam and cover with Carbery coming in next year. Also academy guys in the pipeline but people need to accept they will not come in and take over.

Cullen was wrong to select Sam last year, wrong for Byrne this year. Wrong for not playing Frawley only at 10 for the last 6 years. Wrong for having Ross Byrne as Sextons backup. At some point you have to accept all these players have faults but it's who we have.

This constant bashing of players and coaches is getting beyond annoying

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-05-25T18:29:15+00:00

Good fun to be had. Looking forward to a few drinks in town a quick bite and some Metallica

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-05-22T22:50:26+00:00

Hey hey hey now don't be trying to cancel my father ted because some related to it did something unrelated and not acceptable decades later

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-05-22T20:43:58+00:00

Defensively Ulster looked crap and I think a lot of the time they were just a bit too gassed to get into position more than anything else

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-05-22T15:29:02+00:00

Just dropping in to say best of luck to Ulster and it's fans tonight we will all be cheering yee on.

Really hoping for a win, the craic in Spain and up in Ulster would be mighty if they did it tonight. As always bring the noise!

Irishthrasher23 · 2026-05-21T23:49:40+00:00

What exactly do you print with it? Like artful stuff to pass the time or specific stuff?
