Replying To Doylerwex: "How many people play it nationally? The media would have you believe everyone. How many of the national team went to the same school?
The reality is it's smaller than hurling and microscopic compared to football or soccer.
That's not even considering golf, boxing, equestrian or even athletics.
My point was world cup qualifiers are a big story and it was a footnote before a rugby friendly." The difference between soccer and rugby is that when the international soccer team are going well or in a major tournament it lifts the whole country, the dogs on the streets are talking about it. The rugby certainly doesnt have that effect.

Replying To GreenandRed: "Confidence can only improve though Katser. We should only be optimistic after beating two teams ranked above us in win or stay at home games." Big long horrible high ball into the box, bounces off Scales head and yer man Parrot toe pokes it into the net!
Guess it doesn't matter how it goes in once it goes in!!

Replying To BigSur: "I hear the county hurlers are back at it this weekend like most counties I presume.
No names but lots of new young faces I hear.
I see we are home to Kilkenny in the Walsh Cup on Sat 4th Jan." And rightly so, a complete rebuild job. I'd like to see Kevin O'Brien given 3 years regardless of results to try and build a new look team.

I see the new Mayo GAA Chief Executive Officer job that was advertised today. Would Jimmy Sloyan (Kiltimagh) or Clare Kennedy (Killala) be in the running?

Timely reminder that the Faroe Islands beat the Czechs last month.

My point was world cup qualifiers are a big story and it was a footnote before a rugby friendly." 10 or 15 years ago a gushing RTÈ reporter was interviewing the IRFU CEO (Philip Browne?) .
Asked him was he delighted with the growth of Rugby.
His response was "we are a minority sport with around 250 clubs in total"

President Trump has now ordered the release of the Epstein files, also it looks as though he has brokered a peace deal for the Ukraine, and still the msm are spinning against him constantly.
Whatever you think of him, I think he had the msm media well sussed.

Replying To Gaagael15: "Thats unfortunate for Mc Loughlin. Did i hear that Cathal clancy confirmed that they wouldnt have Cooke available for rest of the campaign. He was supposed be available the last day but didnt feature." How long before we hear that Peter Cooke has taken a job on Mars and is waiting on Elon Musk for a flight home?.

Replying To Scenicparish: "The Hungarians have no one to blame only themselves. They wasted so much time between feigning injuries and making substitutions. It cost them in the end and fair play to Ireland for staying in the game and taking their chances in the end." Yes indeed, and number 4 for Hungary was a disaster.....gave away penalty and didn't deal with the last balll for 3rd goal.

Replying To KillingFields: "Rugbt isn't a tiny minority sport though. What else is on right now that should be getting more coverage than rugby?" It is a minority sport. I live in West Dublin. One GAA club, one Rugby club, and about 10 football clubs. Guess which one is always on the radio though. It is not the GAA club.

Replying To CCFabu: "does anyone know how I can be in a group with others this year - I am renewing from last year but I have a friend and family member that want to join up and we'd like to be seated together come championship, but the renewal is only allowing me select one ticket" They seemed to have changed the status of Donegal from renewals only now so you might get sorted with those extra tickets now if you try again .

Replying To Freethinker: "It never ceases to amaze me how supporters of Mr T can swing anything around to suit their narrative. He had no choice but to release those files as he had been backed into a corner and couldn't hold his base. That "peace deal" he "brokered" for Ukraine is a total sell out to his pal, Putin. It will be interesting to see how far that goes. Zelensky has been warned that if he doesn't accept, American support is gone. I'm not going down that msm rabbit hole. Believe what you like, actual facts won't change no matter who reports them, or tries to spin them." That's the trouble with spin, a along the media have been saying how well Ukraine is doing, but the fact is the Russians have them beaten on the ground despite all the billions and weaponry the west has thrown at it.
This was a proxy war between the USA and Russia, it makes sense that they settle it between them. No one wants to see it escalate any further.

I find it odd on two counts if there was dirt on trump why didnt Biden get files released
On the other hand if there was no dirt on him trump stalling releasing them is off too
My gut is the files will be underwhelming
The Ukraine deal is awful and has left them in a no win situation.
Getting rid of Zelensky may be no harm though
