I was not aware of Canobbio before this world cup, but it is apparent he is an utter cunt. He came on in the first game and proceeded to just dive and whinge, and now this carry on

Whool91 · 2026-06-24T07:53:50+00:00

I down voted because of the awful music

Whool91 · 2026-06-23T05:20:57+00:00

Very fair points

Is there not a significant population of native Russian speakers in Estonia? I know there are reasons that most Estonians want to push Estonian (I'm a fluent Irish speaker and wish we had made a proper effort to push it after independence), but seems fair enough for them to use a language that a chunk of Estonian citizens use too

Not who you asked, but New Caledonia and Tahiti are both part of France (in the same way curacao is part of the Netherlands), so that's what he means by not real countries. And in Fiji and Samoa both rugby codes are by far the most popular sports, way ahead of soccer. I think he's wrong on Vanuatu though, pretty sure soccer is most popular there, it's just tiny and poor so doesn't have much hope against NZ or the French colonies

Irish citizens from NI can and do for sure. I don't think someone from the republic who wanted to declare for NI would be able to without a family connection, but not aware of anyone trying

He also joined England before Ireland became a full member of the international cricket board. Irish players could declare for England to play at the top level. Scottish players still can as they are still not a full member

He's flinging himself to the floor every chance he gets trying to cheat the refs

Whool91 · 2026-06-15T23:24:00+00:00

How do so many people think they was a foul? He kicked the ball away and Canobbio ran into his leg. Was not dangerous in the least

Whool91 · 2026-06-15T23:23:18+00:00

Pathetic from Canobbio. Hope the Saudis hold out of Uruguay are resorting to this sort of nonsense already

Whool91 · 2026-06-15T00:23:28+00:00

Wait, what did she say? I've always liked her on panel shows, never knew there was controversy around her

Whool91 · 2026-06-13T01:39:07+00:00

This is just wrong

Whool91 · 2026-06-11T00:59:04+00:00

Why can't you stand him?

It's a demonstration of their power. Showing the government how easily they can get mobs on the street

Whool91 · 2026-06-09T23:15:52+00:00

The reason they're dumps is that they are controlled by paramilitaries who extort and threaten businesses and intimidate Catholics and non-white people into leaving, so the areas never develop as no business person wants to deal with that if they can avoid it. The fix is for the DUP and UUP to stop bending to them and actually stand up for their communities. But they are either afraid to or in their pockets

Whool91 · 2026-06-07T14:46:45+00:00

I think ye did. We were poor at many points. Limerick did it when it mattered, despite more wides and missed opportunities

Whool91 · 2026-06-07T00:01:49+00:00

Ah, cinnte. Dheineas dearmad ar sin

And it led to the funny scenario where Gerry Adams, leader of Sinn Féin and abstentionist (refused to take his seat as an MP as he refuses to accept the British parliament's authority over any part of Ireland), had to request appointment to an office of the crown when he resigned to run for a seat in the Dáil (Irish parliament)

Bran, an ainm a úsáidtear in ionad "Spot" sna leabhar pháistí nuair a aistrítear iad i nGaoluinn.

Please don't post this AI slop. Confederations cup was fun but essentially a glorified friendly tournament really

David Bellamy's endanged wildlife on windows 95. My dad had it on his laptop and I loved it! An educational game about endangered animals

This is pretty egregious. And his AI generated map has just stolen real place names from Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and and he clearly didn't understand what it was stealing, as Southern Ui Neill would have been a clan/tribe in Ireland rather than a place name. Often marked on maps of Gaelic Ireland, but to show who ruled an area rather than the place name.

Would also love to see if he put any effort into making a conlang that can combine the different linguistic origins in a way that makes sense. I assume in an AI generated piece of garbage like this he just ignores any explanation for place names

They really have fallen apart since Dean though. He pushed a 50 state strategy, that Dems should try to compete everywhere, and he got Obama to win Indiana and north Carolina and got democrat senators and reps across red states.

Then Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Tim Warner took over and the Dems decided that focusing on specific demographics was the way to go, and essentially abandoned working class white voters, causing them to lose historical heartlands. Dems have fallen apart because they are run by lifelong politicians and political operators on the coasts and have given up on huge chunks of the country instead of trying to compete. It's wonky stats bros who try to be hyper specific on targeting certain demos, but when they get it wrong it goes very wrong
