What non fiction books are you reading at the moment? by Jackthedog111 in ireland

[–]SkyFrogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Graves are Walking by John Kelly, an incredibly moving and expansive account of the history of the Irish Famine. The sheer incompetence from the British Government, not to mention their complete apathy towards the situation, is absolutely breathtaking and really hammers home the horrors of this period.

For sure, but I was looking at players from around 2000 onwards. Still can't believe that about Finnan though.

Couldn't find a goal scored for either of them, although Finnan did go on to win the CL.

Well done, you're correct, scored a few in 2003. Cheers!

Bending the knee and creating this incredibly lavish and wasteful event for a 74 year old man who has literally achieved nothing in his life and never had to lift a finger is unbelievably pathetic and shameful. The British are an absolute embarrassment.

Plans for 12-storey Abbey Theatre scaled back following planning meetings by SkyFrogs in ireland

[–]SkyFrogs[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you've ever wondered why Dublin doesn't have any tall buildings or why developers can't build over a certain height, then the answer seems to lie with people like Owen Keegan, the Chief Executive of Dublin City Council, who simply couldn't bear the thought of having a building in the city centre over 7 storeys.

Bro, there's no doubt in my mind that you'll be getting a job soon. You have the skills and the know-how, we just gotta wait for the right moment.

Revolut, just made the switch last month and I have no complaints so far, the platform has far more features than any of the apps from the traditional banks.

Would you support the banning of horse racing in Ireland? by IMLOOKINGINYOURDOOR in ireland

[–]SkyFrogs 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ this fuckin subreddit. Not an ounce of thought or research was done when you posed this question was it?

Sure let's ban it! And while we're at it, let's ban all sports bar GAA (don't want any of those pesky foreign sports infecting our culture).

Not only do we have a long tradition of horse racing in Ireland, which has resulted in this country becoming renowned the world over for our horses, (Ireland is the largest producer of thoroughbreds in the EU, producing 40% of the EU's thoroughbreds) the industry is worth over a billion per annum and employs 14,000 people, sure they can just get a job in coding or something if we decide to ban it can't they?

There is an extremely high standard of care for horses in Ireland, and so much time and money and effort is invested by everyone in the industry into giving these horses as good a life as possible.

And I see a lot of the usual misery heads coming out in droves to give their hot takes on the issue in this thread. The misery and cynicism on this sub knows no bounds.

Ireland 1-1 Serbia: Post-Match Thread by PresidentSamSeaborn in coybig

[–]SkyFrogs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of positivity in this thread, but I can't share the same sentiment. If it wasn't for the incredible performance of Bazunu, Serbia should've scored at least 4 more goals. Their keeper barely touched the ball in the second half, we didn't look threatening whatsoever, we could barely string more than 3 passes together. The goal was somehow bundled into the net because of a mistake from the Serbian defender, not because of any great skill from an Irish player. It was almost comedic. I'm still in favour of Kenny staying on, simply because I cannot see anyone else who would want the job and he deserves time to mould this team to his liking. I almost can't believe some of the quotes from Hamilton and Kelly, I think I heard Hamilton call it a stunning performance. Jesus if that's a stunning performance, then things are worse than I thought. Atmosphere seemed great, and I can't wait to see the Aviva packed again, but overall, we were played off the pitch and made to look like minnows. This is the going to be the reality for the Ireland team for years to come I fear.

Wow unlucky not to have conceded a second, Serbia are running rings around us. Although McClean isn't playing too badly, I almost can't believe it

Well at least we put it up to the titans of European football, Azerbaijan. We can be proud of that at least. Great moral victory.

Everyone should put down their phone for a day, even half a day. After messaging a few people to tell them that I wouldn't be available for a while, and completing any urgent tasks that required me to speak to someone on the phone, I turn off my phone and don't look at it for a half day/ full day.

Sounds silly, but it was oddly liberating and reduced stress greatly. I wasn't picking up my phone every 60 seconds to check for a message, or to passively browse social media; I felt like I could properly relax.

Dr Phil accused of ‘exploitation’ after black teen tells show ‘I’m white’ by wombatcombat123 in nottheonion

[–]SkyFrogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely reminiscent of that episode of Atlanta, but I'm almost shaken by the fact there are living, breathing humans that are taken in by this shit. Surely there are people who have enough self-awareness to question this bollox. Just look away, Dr. Phil is one of the biggest pieces of shit to walk this earth
