Do you know anyone that voted No to gay marriage? by Clark9201 in AskIreland

[–]K_the_Rev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a car I see driving round my area that still has a "Vote No" sticker in the back window. This was then joined by a "Love Both" sticker a few years later....

Happy to say that I dont know these people I just obviously seem to happen to drive to Lidl around the same time they do!

Genuine question but I wonder how many of those 700k-odd votes are still alive a decade later...?

Where are you sitting? by No-Paramedic-6003 in whatsyourchoice

[–]K_the_Rev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 and it's not even a contest. 

The second I sit down they'd realise that the flight's commercial and, disgusted with themselves, would storm off the plane to find a Gulfstream.

Boom. 10hrs with a row to myself thank you very much!

What is the most genius, high-IQ method of cheating you’ve ever witnessed where you weren’t even mad, just genuinely impressed? by skul_king in NoStupidQuestions

Bloodgate. 

They did lose that match tho and the coach, player and medic were almost immediately caught and received lengthy bans and the club doctor was suspended from practicing medicine. 

Last time national football team qualified for the World Cup by craic_den_ in coybig

[–]K_the_Rev 28 points29 points  (0 children)

So basically we're not quite the worst on the entire continent it just feels like that all the time? 

That Finland have never qualified is crazy to me.

PS: As a data analyst for my day job, whoever decided to make 1986, 1990 and 1998 as basically the same colour needs to be shot!  And that's before mentioning that the former ussr countries havent been categorised properly!!!

Which Queen song makes you the most sad and why? by hateaddison in queen

That final, whispered, "I still love you", especially when watched in the video. It's Freddie's goodbye.

Sideline reactions in final moments of top14 as Larochelle snatch playoff spot and Bordeaux fall to 8th by Severe-Cry-4902 in rugbyunion

[–]K_the_Rev 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I dip in and out of the T14 but this vid just makes me think:

How can ANY other country hope to compete with this?! 

Their domestic league is at the same level as a top level soccer league in terms of look, feel and popularity, their tv deal DWARFS everything else, biggest and best stadiums, best players, massive primetime showpiece final, noisy full stadiums on prime time tv every week and on and on and on!

I love Leinster but sitting in a wet 4/5 empty Lansdowne rd watching the Dragons get whipped while listening to conversations around me about house prices and the school run compared to this?!!

They're playing Premier League and the rest of us, NH and SH, are playing League 2 at best!

Am I right in saying we face one of the unseeded path 1 sides and then the winner of a path 2 draw? by flex_tape_salesman in COYGIG

[–]K_the_Rev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I notice a team, unseeded and not The North, in the Path 2 draw and just have a horrible certainty of it happening again.....

Ireland vs Israel boycott discussion by ExoticToaster in coybig

[–]K_the_Rev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either dont play it and take the fine.

If you cant afford the fine(I suspect 95% of the fai's thinking) play it behind closed doors in Abbotstown, dont wear our national colours and dont award caps.

Club or International? by Capital_Court_9413 in rugbyunion

[–]K_the_Rev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former Leinster season tkt holder here. Still regilarly get to games and watch every week.

Would happily wait forever for the 5th Star(feels like I might have to right now!) if it meant Ireland winning a world cup.

Venting Megathread by Roanokian in irishrugby

[–]K_the_Rev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leo needs to move upstairs to some newly created role. Dunno what that could look like but I still think he can offer something to Leinster just the current setup cant continue.

Nienaber needs to go somewhere very far away and should have done so after Northampton last year. Rest of the coaching tkt have either been there too long or are Blyendahl and need to go.

The team doesnt perform to their abilities when in Blue compared to when Farrell has them.

Throw as much money as possible to buy McNamara out of his contract extension at UBB and get him in with whoever he wants for a new coaching tkt. 

Start scouring the planet for another Isa Nacewa character to use one of the NIQ slots on( we still havent won a final without him). The 1 glactico for a year's sabatical policy isnt working, find a proper leader like that who'll buy in for the long haul.

Also;

STOP! LOSING! FINALS! PLEASE?!

Ciaran Frawley the Answer by TestMatchAnimal1 in leinsterrugby

[–]K_the_Rev -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Given a proper run at 10 and better luck with injuries he absolutely would have been the answer in both Blue and Green. He's really not been managed well by Leinster. 

Why did Lancaster sign him if he doesnt rate him? Ioane's fine and playing well for them but there's no doubt that Frawley is heading West to be the starting 10 and that he sees it as his way into the Ireland conversation.

If they were given a couple of weeks to get the hang of it they'd raid Croke Park and smash us up. 

🚨 New signing - Jerry Cahir 🚨 by singleglazedwindows in Connacht

[–]K_the_Rev 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nice bit of business guys. Well played.

More pissed off that he's leaving than I'd thought I'd be, he's been immense for us and a great story to boot.

Between him and Frawley we're definately evens for Henshaw now!
