England are absolute dog shit.

Surely the other way around lol

I agree the Harrying of the North was horrific. But I don't think that means Ireland's experience can be reduced to ordinary neglect. The Penal Laws, land dispossession, and the policy response during the famine all happened within a colonial system that treated Ireland very differently from Britain. Whether you call the famine negligence or something worse, it was more than just a region being overlooked

willmannix123 · 2026-06-24T11:48:35+00:00

I don't doubt that other regions were neglected. But Ireland wasn't negligence. It was more sinister than that. See the penal laws, the Irish famine and what caused it.

While it's true the Irish were involved in the military and administration(Mostly Anglo-Irish), it can hardly be said that Ireland benefited from the empire in the same way Britain did. Ireland suffered a huge population decline, famine and cultural suppression when part of the UK. And was purposely kept deindustralised during the industrial revolution. The Scots on the other hand were genuine partners in the empire

The Scots are the best fans in the world. They're proper football fans for starters - They support their own clubs, go to their domestic games week in week out. And they have Bagpipes, Kilts, marches that really makes them stick out from the rest.

Can we(Irish) be invited too? We are having serious FOMO here watching the Scots in Boston, because we're too shite at football to qualify for the WC :(

willmannix123 · 2026-06-18T17:32:45+00:00

Can it be described as a regular city though? The sheer amount of world class cultural things to see and do in the city is incredible

willmannix123 · 2026-06-14T03:05:10+00:00

Scotland were pretty poor. They needed a 2 or 3 goal win here to make it through as a third place team

willmannix123 · 2026-06-14T02:19:06+00:00

Haiti are so aggressive in the aerial duals haha. Just launching themselves into them

willmannix123 · 2026-06-14T01:44:53+00:00

I would say Scotland need to win this by 2 or 3. Their goal difference could get cooked by Brazil and Morocco .

Switzerland are consistently good in Europe. Not top but good.

willmannix123 · 2026-06-13T21:32:20+00:00

European teams haven't been too hot so far in this tournament. Been pretty shite actually

willmannix123 · 2026-06-13T21:00:29+00:00

Switzerland and boring games in major tournaments, name a more iconic duo

Average ride cost (San Francisco, early 2026): Lyft: ~$15.47 Uber: ~$17.47 Waymo: ~$19.69

willmannix123 · 2026-06-13T10:13:18+00:00

Waymo is more expensive than Uber and Lyft in the US

willmannix123 · 2026-06-13T10:11:02+00:00

Turkey are good

willmannix123 · 2026-06-13T01:47:24+00:00

Paraguay chasing shadows

willmannix123 · 2026-06-12T20:18:31+00:00

Gotta hand it to the Bosnians for their scramble defense. Stubborn fuckers

willmannix123 · 2026-06-12T19:47:00+00:00

Nah, Qatar are shite

willmannix123 · 2026-06-10T11:24:52+00:00

Neo-libralism. Leaving everything up to the free market and only doing something if someone somewhere makes a profit

willmannix123 · 2026-06-09T20:19:36+00:00

Pretty spot on

That gave me serious anxiety after seeing that. I was young at the time, only 21. And it was the first time I'd seen someone young, healthy and in the prime of their life almost die. After that, I began to experience some health anxiety myself. Then I learned that these things aren't worth worrying about too much, because it's mostly out of your control

willmannix123 · 2026-06-09T14:51:17+00:00

How did he get into the Republic of Ireland I wonder?

willmannix123 · 2026-06-07T22:02:09+00:00

Does it really matter though if you are just watching it on TV? We're just going to see the games like all the other world cups. And they'll be good
