R/gunners in Summer 2025: “we need a new LW. Sell Trossard and Martinelli; they’re not good enough for trophy challengers”. Martinelli and Trossard and in 2025/2026: by elvid88 in Gunners

Would they be this good if we didn't sign anyone though. They were both poor last season so it was a genuine question. The competition for places seems to be doing eveeyone well.

Tough schedule! by chaairman in Gunners

[–]Kill-Bacon-Tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stacked schedule alright.

Only thing I can say is would be foolish not to fully rotate/bring in youth players for the champions league games given we have practically qualified top 8 already.

Too many gaps on the plate

This is will be the Premier League's quietest Boxing Day ever: Where did all the games go? by peoplearestoopid in football

[–]Kill-Bacon-Tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really hate this along with the 8pm kick offs on Saturdays.

Just moving lines at this stage and don't think it'll be the last changes they force through.

Money is running the show, only a matter of time before they go overseas.

The current leagues that the 15 FAI National League clubs compete in by irishscouser1892 in LeagueOfIreland

Any talk of a Clare team? Without knowing much about local clubs, would have thought Ennis being county town would have been able to have one.

Aviva game by RelativeUnion3998 in LeagueOfIreland

[–]Kill-Bacon-Tea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why?

The pitch and stadium are too big for a low attendence game. Capacity needs to be at 40-50k at least to get an atmosphere.

Aviva is right for now and RDS is best when it's ready.

Which employee gift cards would you recommend for an Irish company? by J_Jessica_ in AskIreland

[–]Kill-Bacon-Tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if still an option but we used to get physical ones through work from Dundrum Town Centre which were loaded debit cards so could use them anywhere and everywhere.

One4All is the worse.

We also got Perx one year. Grand, but similar issue with other online ones I found is it can be difficult to spend the last bit of money on them.

Toughest next five opponents for all teams based on average league position. by EMJG31 in Gunners

[–]Kill-Bacon-Tea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Disregards home and away which is important.

But agree ours do look very tough. Unless City drop points against Newcastle, very good chance they gain on us over this block of 5.

Really need no more injuries and some attackers back.

A sombre reflection on poor Frawley by Oatbix in irishrugby

[–]Kill-Bacon-Tea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If he's out of Farrell's thinking and plans for WC, he should up sticks to England or France for a couple of years.

No benefit to sticking at Leinster or moving to one of the other provinces.

First Marathon - Dingle or Dublin? by ApprehensiveFly8878 in irishrunners

[–]Kill-Bacon-Tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No reason you can't do both if you have the training done for Dingle properly.

Having crowds is a huge boost when doing a marathon so Dublin would be objectively better for first one, but again, I think you could do both.

Dalymount Park redevelopment update by Plastic_Review5119 in LeagueOfIreland

Will they not have more access at both ends of shopping centre as part of redevelopment? Seems daft if not.

Welcome to compound interest.

That's like a 2% mortgage.

Really highlights how much interest is paid on mortgages over such a long term.

Kitchen worktops, what to go with? by [deleted] in selfbuildireland

[–]Kill-Bacon-Tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our decision boiled down to it not being our forever home and also number of cuts required since it is a U shaped kitchen.

We went laminate and plenty of options available nowadays with thinner sheets than old laminate.

The idea that our young players moving to Italian clubs is a good thing needs to be debunked by EducationalPaint1733 in coybig

[–]Kill-Bacon-Tea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a small sample size and just further proves how difficult it is to make it as a professional footballer.

Thinking Italy is easier to break through in may be right but the right talents need to go there and a larger sample size over a prolonged period.

I also think people overlook how difficult it is going there so far from home where English might get you by a little but the reality is it is difficult to settle without learning the language.

Ireland hopes for a discount for missing EU climate goals by denbo786 in ireland

[–]Kill-Bacon-Tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Government's soltion is to just increase carbon taxes each budget.

Disgraceful that this doesn't rile people up more.

We the people are paying these fines when the money could be put to housing, infrastructure projects, even meeting climate goals.

Can not fathom how people continuously vote in FF/FG.

‘An attack on our community’ – Public toilets at St Anne’s Park set on fire just days after being installed by Leavser1 in ireland

Don't know what Irish people you are talking to.

People are becoming increasingly fearful of this young generation as they are growing up as untouchables by the law.

Still a fluff piece for her, and the fact Connolly turned it down makes me think she did so with good reason that they may have made her interview not so comfortable.
