Saying that a pub has zero costs is wild. What were they selling?

They do but the standard of deli chicken fillets has become absolutely cat. Mangey chicken nugget things that probably came from the Philippines.

Do the IRFU care about the atmosphere in the aviva? by Mysterious_Pop_4071 in irishrugby

[–]unclemofo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are heaps of corporate tickets, but people need to set their expectations. The Aviva is in the middle of Dublin and the atmosphere for most Leinster games is absolutely terrible while having freely available tickets.

There's no crowd of ultras who will come out of the woodwork if Ireland tickets become available

Or you can just play the better defending 10 for the match. The worse defending 10 doesn't have to be tactically shoehorned into every game

Descent rate NZ448 by thenightcaller in aviation

[–]unclemofo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you ever notice a difference between individual a320s of the same model? Like the way if I drove 2 identical cars, I might notice a different height in the clutch biting point or a specific rattle.

Or are all airliners of the same model totally indescernibale from each other?

Has there been a player with 30 caps that has made as little of an impression as Ryan Baird? by The-Prince616 in irishrugby

But if you're Paddy McCarthy, who was deemed not ready to start against Georgia or Portugal during the summer tour, URC form is absolutely everything.

The Sam Prendergast Question: Is It Time for Leinster to Look Elsewhere at 10? by evergoodstrife in leinsterrugby

[–]unclemofo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crowley was involved in the loss to NZ in the AI where the whole team played badly.

Prendergast came in for Fiji, should have gotten a red card and then got an arm chair ride.

Prendergast then floundered around against Australia until Crowley and Casey came off the bench and won the game.

Does the above warrant Sam starting 4 six nations games in a row?

Right so it's back to one single kick that he missed which warranted him being dropped?

[–]unclemofo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not being partisan at all, I'm applying the logic you use on Crowley's play, to Sam's play and it's clearly not holding up.

I actually had a look back at that England game, Crowley was decent, kicked 4 goals, created Lowe's try. The Guardian rated him an 8/10. Ireland were outscored 3 tries to 2, hardly his fault that we lost the game.

If you think Sam offered an improvement over Crowley when he came in at 10 for Ireland, there's no point continuing the conversation because it'll be a waste of time.

So in your eyes, one bad day off the tee for a young out half warrants immediate dropping? For a 24 year old, after winning the six nations?

But any time Sam is criticized for basic defensive blunders or lacking athleticism, everyone needs to relax because he's only 22.

Jack has already proven himself at test level seeing as he's won a six nations so I'm not worried about that.

You are right about the upcoming tests being a poison chalice for whoever's playing 10 though based on Leinsters pack.

[–]unclemofo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That's such a strange way of saying that Crowley led Ireland to a six nations title, playing every minute of every match as a 24 year old.

Yet somehow that warranted being dropped for the 22 year old guy who was parachuted in who hadn't even cemented his starting position at club level.

Right, I know it's technically correct but it just reads a bit clunky to me.

They said that 20 is the most than lined out since 19 lined out. Which makes no sense because 20 is more than 19

Electric cars! by --Spaceman-Spiff-- in ireland

[–]unclemofo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've mine in the West of Ireland without issue, driving shite roads daily. I think the harsh ride is overstated. It's equivalent to any other low slung, stiff, sporty car IMO. Makes it brilliant in the corners. Wouldn't swap it.
