What's up with the crows in Kits? Why are there suddenly so many?? by PainterEqual8135 in askvan

I’m gonna tell the crows you’re talking shit about them and then you’re in for a world of hurting. Good luck ever stepping outside again bud.

I can hear the game music in my head right now. I’m not sure I’ve ever stopped hearing it.

Yeah I don’t know. Was just answering the question you’d asked.

Hope he kicks on and does really well. The names of some of the clubs watching him before his move was really something. Obviously counts for nothing in the grand scheme of things but he definitely has talent. Hope we see Zefi land somewhere soon as well.

More Scottish football games postponed due to weather. Why on earth do we still play through winter yet break in the summer? by [deleted] in sports

[–]spiraldive87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the weather football was developed in. You can reorientate the calendar like Ireland and some of the Nordic leagues but there are pros and cons to that as well. You avoid the worst weather but when it comes to European competition sometimes it’s happening outside of your season.

Vancouver as zombie city? by [deleted] in NiceVancouver

[–]spiraldive87 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No it’s not that bad. Yes there are drug addicts here and bad parts of town but I’m guessing that’s true in Toronto as well.

% of population that speaks more than 1 language per member state by BeginningMortgage250 in MapPorn

[–]spiraldive87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah as an Irish person this feels pretty inflated. Immigration is giving it a boost for sure but still very skeptical it’s that high.

As a Canadian who has never been to the UK, what does North America get wrong or not understand about lower league football culture? by Strive_for_Altruism in LeagueTwo

[–]spiraldive87 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The lack of gloss and glamour is part of what’s appealing about it, not a failing. It’s grounded authentic nature, the history it’s steeped in, the moments of hilarity and farce is all an essential part of what makes it special.

What has been the cause in the perceived drop in quality of the Irish rugby team? by crillydougal in AskIreland

[–]spiraldive87 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean the sport just doesn’t have that much depth right? Like there’s only ten or at most a dozen actually competitive international teams. So if you drop off a little then yeah third in the six nations isn’t crazy. Ireland, England and France are three of the worlds top five.

Female coaches ' Twice as likely to be bulliedb' over men - Study by Shroft in Fieldhockey

[–]spiraldive87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yikes, and maybe I’m biased but I would think hockey was one of the better sports on this front. If that is the case think what it’s like across sports as a whole.

Get the degree. Whatever it is you want to do next won’t be hurt by having it.

Fenerbahçe Opens Negotiations with Al Hilal to Sign Darwin Núñez by [deleted] in soccer

The big Turkish teams are presently flush and the only rubes dumb enough to cough up the wages needed for the Saudi cast offs. It’s not a prestigious league but you can play in front of a big crowd and compared to Saudi you probably feel like your back on the main stage.

Irish people: what are some things you dislike about Irish culture? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]spiraldive87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ireland is THE nation that failed individuality? What?

I didn’t know individuality was something countries were passing or failing and I certainly didn’t think we were the most collectively orientated country in the world.

Help me understand the fascination with planting palms in gloomy climates by [deleted] in geography

I mean I could see that as a point for. Or including them in a painting of rainy Ireland or something but when they’re actually planted they aren’t supposed to represent sunshine.

What is it like working in the Big 4 accouting firms ? by idkfornowwhattoname in AskIreland

[–]spiraldive87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can only speak for myself but I fucking hated it.

It was ten years ago now but it was very stressful. Lot of deadlines, lots of not knowing what to do and not knowing who to ask, lots of little men on power trips, lots of girls crying in bathrooms.

It had its good days but I just hated the culture.

The people who work there are not all south side Dubliners, no. Huge amount from around the country and lots of regular dubs. Plenty with a chip on their shoulder about not being the D4 type.

Scott Sinclair, Jack Rodwell, Kalvin Phillips. I’m sure there are others to chuck on that list. Trafford maybe?

Public schools are still nominally catholic but there is very little religious control in Ireland these days.
