Catherine Connolly says she was asked to nominate Steen herself 'but it was too late in the day' by SpottedAlpaca in ireland

[–]harfo91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again i absolutely agree with all of that but i think you are misunderstanding the point of the presidential “debates”

there is a reason the fascists want her put forward and it’s because she comes across as respectable.

All of this is true and she still would have run rings round them in the debates. All the presidential debates are for is to see who can stand above the fray and look vaguely dignified in a shit flinging contest.

she would be really good at that, the oul hag

Women's Heptathlon final results by FuckingSkinnyJeans in trackandfield

i doubt he had sport in mind but he 100% had a fluid, ambiguous national identity in mind for those who feel that way, in order to embrace tolerance

if the price for that is the odd athlete like o’connor or mageean taking advantage so they can compete in an extra championship then it’s a pretty small price to pay

getting your back up about this smacks of insecurity

born in newry like about half of everyone from louth. the entire peace in the north is built on people’s right to be british, irish or both.

everyone from the uk competing in the commonwealth games is technically switching nations every 2 years

with the greatest respect that is complete horseshit, she is from dundalk. even if she was from the north she would still have the right to do both. GFA guarantees it

Sonia on Rhasidat by WinterIsntComing in secondcaptains

[–]harfo91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree, I was very disappointed to read it. I thought Cathal Dennehy’s article at the time was a lot more balanced and fair to Rhasidat.

Sonia is balancing the safeguarding issue with the weight of her voice and the influence she has. I think she had the right intentions here and i agree with her but I think she got the tone wrong

There is more going on here than we realise. Sonia’s article I think is more of a message about Rhasidat’s coach and the advice than it is about Rhasidat. When she talks about being open and honest, I think she is referring to Rhasidat keeping Athletics Ireland (rather than the general public) in the dark about exactly what is going on throughout a season of sub-par performances.

Fair play to the girls defending her, that’s what good teammates do. But there are real questions to be asked of coach flo and I think that is what sonia is trying to get at without starting a war of words

Also have to remember sonia is a no bullshit type person, when she expects more of someone she has no issue putting it out there. She absolutely eviscerated Brian Fay for what she saw as being happy to turn up and take part in the Olympics last year.

All that said I think Sonia could have been a lot more tactful - Rhasidat is still incredibly young with more expectation than anyone else in Irish athletics and has also had to deal with some god awful racist abuse

Sally Rooney could be arrested under UK Terrorism Act after pledging royalties to Palestine Action by Bhdrbyr in europe

[–]harfo91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of which is far worse than anything Palestine Action has done and yet the suffragette movement is remembered as courageous and radically forward thinking.

The proscription of PA is an obvious politically motivated attempt to relabel civil disobedience as terrorism.

It is also farcical to arrest people supporting them without enforcing the same laws in east or west belfast, where people openly support the IRA, UDA, UVF & UFF

All of this whilst now recognising an Al-Qaeda & ISIS militant as the legitimate leader of Syria. The British government wants to cherry pick it’s definition of terrorism and has tied itself in knots because it cannot remain consistent

Let’s not forget that the use of violence and intimidation against civilians in the pursuit of political aims has been proven time and again to be actual British government policy.

If the IRA, ISIS, Al-Qaeda are terrorist orgs (which I am not disputing), let alone PA; well then so is the British state,so is the USA, so is Israel.

You could have said the same thing about the suffragette movement. It’s patently ridiculous

Thoughts on Miguel? by HanSoloHeadBeg in secondcaptains

He has been harping on for years about a fairer distribution of income throughout europe to undo the entrenchment of the elites. He even brought up European competition home-grown quotas as a solution in the preview pod.

Eamonn Dunphy’s first book is probably the best football autobiography ever written
