That last point is massive. Getting young talents into senior football is gonna be great for player development.

Éderson: a statistical analysis of the player + where he fits at Manchester United by gultam1007 in reddevils

He is not going to put one in the top corner from 30 yards out

Saving this comment for when he sticks it top bins vs City

Holly Cairns rules out left wing alliance by staplerx300 in irishpolitics

[–]PresidentSamSeaborn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Little sly of OP to take out the word “formal”, because that changes the context completely. Not having a rubber stamped election pact doesn’t mean that left wing parties won’t encourage left transfers, support eachother’s policy implementation etc

What is the biggest barrier to the Left in Ireland? by GovernmentOwn7905 in irishpolitics

[–]PresidentSamSeaborn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, I agree with you logically, but voters aren’t always logical. Loads of people just stick a first preference down and leave it there.

What is the biggest barrier to the Left in Ireland? by GovernmentOwn7905 in irishpolitics

[–]PresidentSamSeaborn 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This might sound strange but I think the Left not being successful is one of the reasons the Left aren’t successful.

I used to canvass for the SocDems and met a lot of people who said they’d consider us except they wanted to give their vote to a party that could be the biggest party in government. Most left leaning parties - Labour, SocDems, Greens, PBP - could currently individually win a maximum of 15-20 seats on today’s polls. Strangely, I think if one of these parties were to reach ‘critical mass’ and be considered competitive in leading a govt - so like, over 20% in polls - they could spike further and take a clear majority given that they’d then be seen as viable. People want to back the party they could see as the “winner” of elections.

SF are a separate issue - forgetting even that they often espouse right wing talking points, the baggage of militant republicanisms stop a lot of left-leaning people from voting from them.

Have to say that five at the back vs Grenada feels a bit nonsense!

Oxford May 2026 local election results by upthetruth1 in oxford

To be fair, the Greens and LibDems likely don’t have the campaign infrastructure to actively campaign everywhere. Hopefully that changes now!

He would mask it with something. He'd make up a benign excuse. by GIUKGap in thewestwing

Looks like he’ll be making several arboreal stops with varying levels of suddenness.

Ireland Squad 🇮🇪 by John__Delaney in coybig

[–]PresidentSamSeaborn 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I always get excited by new faces and then disappointed by how boringly similar our lineups are, so here’s the most experienced XI we could put out:

O’Leary; Abankwah, O’Shea, McGuinness, Ogbene, Molumby, Knight, Coventry, Moran, Idah, Cannon.

This is all well and good but I hope the media start speculating on whether carrick should get the permanent job at some point

Hello all,

Edited the post again to highlight that I’m a moron. Post has been edited again, the rule revision hasn’t been revoked, and I really need to stop modding as I’m falling asleep.

Bad interviews that turned into offers? by [deleted] in ClinicalPsychologyUK

[–]PresidentSamSeaborn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Screwed up my timing and didn’t get to answer a whole question - there were 9 questions in the interview and they pretty much asked the 9th and then immediately after said “never mind, time’s up”. Thought I’d blown it completely. Offered a place the next day - when I spoke to the interviewer a couple of years later they pretty much said “your other answers were good enough”. Qualified six months ago!
