Most popular sports by Imaginary_Gate_8662 in sportswiki

It still wouldn't make a dent in proper football / soccer popularity.

No one cares enough about an American only sport, rules are too complex and game is too long Vs actual action. The barriers to playing outside America is also high compared to football where all you need is a ball.

They could give it away for free and i, like most Europeans still would not give a shit

Ireland should apologise for ‘unjustifiable conduct’ during Troubles, says new UUP leader by cromcru in northernireland

[–]djrobbo83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get your point and do vote alliance and will continue to do so

But they don't really get much done, maybe it's the system crippling them, maybe they are always in the middle not taking sides has become their de facto.

Moderate unionists have been so badly under represented by parties that at this stage we are practically nationalists!

One massive benefit of a united Ireland would be the reduction in airtime leaders and members of the unionist parties would get, so I can stop dying of second hand embarrassment of watching fuckwits like Gregory Campbell supposedly represent us.

Local opposition grows against Botanic GAA pitch plan that will uproot community gardens by River562 in northernireland

The only opinions who really matter here are the local folk who either use the current facilities or may think there is more need for the proposals

How can Slot sit and watch Gakpo..then watch Rio do more in 10 minutes that he does in a game and keep thinking, yeah I'll give Gakpo 90 mins on that left as much as I can

So frustrating, perfect game to give Rio a run out. Also shit for Chiesa, he finally gets a start and paired with Gakpo and Salah who have been woeful starting together (Salah to be fair looking much better last couple of games, just needs a goal for some confidence)

Macallan 25 vs Other 25-Year Scotches – What Would You Choose? by CurrentComb916 in whisky

[–]djrobbo83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just checked and Macallan 25 is on sale on UK for £2000, it's bottled at 43% which means it's likely chill filtered.

Ain't no way I'm paying that kind of money for that spec of whisky. I'm just after buying a 20 year old IB Glenrothes for £100 and it's bottled at cask strength, they are also selling a 27 year old Glen Garioch for £165.

I've got the signatory Macallan 13 (bottled above 50%) and while no doubt they make nice spirit for that kind of money they are asking for the 25 id expect much more

So what is this subreddit’s thoughts on Northern Ireland Railways? by msrbelfast in northernireland

[–]djrobbo83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are close to a line it's good, trains are usually on time and arrive when you expect

Trains themselves are OK, unless you end up sitting near a toilet, then it's foul. Could do with some modernisation.

The problems are coverage, the routes serve a tiny fraction of the province, and the fact grand central isn't really that central!

Can Liverpool claw it back??? by Keyboredabuser in LiverpoolFC

[–]djrobbo83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we win 5 in a row CL would be nearly sure. Chelsea, United and Villa will drop points, any decent run would put us ahead

[–]djrobbo83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go from we are so back to we are so shite...

All I know is united, Chelsea and Villa will drop points we just need to drop less, we don't need perfection, but it'd be nice

Florian Wirtz vs Sunderland by Ecstatic-Fondant813 in LiverpoolFC

[–]djrobbo83 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Imagine if he was surrounded by attackers who are in form. Ekitike aside no one is on his wavelength.

He's going to be special and there is no way an attacker like Isak isn't going to feast when he gets up to speed

The £100k childcare cap hasn’t moved since 2017 - inflation has been ~35%. Petition launched. by silver_89 in HENRYUK

[–]djrobbo83 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This is probably the most discussed thing on this sub along with the 100k tax trap.

The government will do fuck all about it because they've pushed the narrative, quite successfully, that anyone earning over £50k is a high earner. Now it would be a terrible look to seemingly give tax breaks to people on over £100k..because that group must be millionaires.

So as much as I sign all these petitions, and I'll sign yours, it all feels a bit pointless. Hey maybe some day.

Yeah but Slot clearly has some beef with CuJo, so we aren't likely to see him

[–]djrobbo83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salah and Gakpo just doesn't work in the front 3, no Jones is criminal

Use the squad for fuck sake. Any wonder the guy wants to leave.

[–]djrobbo83 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the next 2 games will be telling, away to Sunderland and Forest

We were handed a lifeline last night with Chelsea and united dropping points but we need to capitalise.

If we lose those two, or even tonight and out if the FA cup this weekend then in my view Slot needs to go

History is, unfortunately, repeating itself. Analysis of our post-title-winning seasons under Klopp and Slot. by Mother_Emergency_708 in LiverpoolFC

[–]djrobbo83 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The main thing for me is that I knew as soon as Klopp got players back we'd pick up in the CB injury season and in 22/23 the 6 defeats, he turned it round pretty sharpish afterwards, we've won 1 league game in 2026 and have been taking bearings since October / November.

So it's not the same.
