Premier League 2011/12 Season

Eire vs Estonia it is.

Great Draw there.

 

Some luck at last

 

Oireland Oireland Pubbalic of Ireland Rev it Up and Here We Go.

Great chance now.:mj::mj:

 

"If Trappatoni starts Norris at Right-Back, we're fucked Bill. Fucked"

"Ah you can't be saying that Eamon you can't"

"I'm saying it Bill, I'm saying it...the public have to know Bill...people are afraid, and can't pay their bills, Bill......this guy Norris is a joke. He's got no pace. He can't defend. He's weak at the back and he leaks things and his tackle is rubbish. Seamus Coleman should be in that squad"

 

I'll tell you if you tell me......I won't be voting for McMurder, or that utter, utter fucktard Dana. Probably won't be voting #1 for Gay "I'm what Bernard Brogan will look like in 40 years" Mitchell. As for that Bint from Mayo and Junior Fianna Fail, no chance.

I think I'll go for that noted purveyor of erotic poetry himself, the tall fellow, Mickey D Higgins, with my transfer going to Gay number 1 {Mitchell} and Gay number, 2, Norris.

Norris is anointed pederast. But just for shits and giggles, I'll make sure he gets my sloppy thirds.

 

Thought irish might like this quote:

“The point about football in Britain is that it is not just a sport people take to, like cricket or tennis. It is built into the urban psyche, as much a common experience to our children as are uncles and school. It is not a phenomenon : it is an everyday matter.”
Arthur Hopcraft

 

Couple more:

“There is such a thing as everyday, ordinary, vulgar ecstasy; the ecstasy of anger, the ecstasy of speed at the wheel, the ecstasy of ear-splitting noise, ecstasy in the soccer stadium.”
Milan Kundera

“Our football belongs to the working class and has the size, nobility and generosity to allow everyone to enjoy it as a spectacle.”
Cesar Luis Menotti

“Football, a game in which everyone gets hurt and every nation has its own style of play which seems unfair to foreigners.”
George Orwell

“Amongst all unimportant subjects, football is by far the most important.”
Pope John Paul II

” Football is the last sacred ritual of our time.”
Pier Paolo Pasoloni

 

I agree. I said that time and again. Football has become a vessel or a medium through which other issues are played out.

Take that shithead,Dave Whelan. Now there is a moron.

He is using the current "debate" over foreign rights to come out and say something nasty about Americans in general.

When the football team of guy X is doing well, it adds inches to his cock and $ to his account. When England win a big game, Sterling goes up against the Euro.

Etc etc etc.

People live through football in a million different ways.

Get in here and tell me who you is voting for.:Steve-Dave/MMA:

 

Who would be most likely to include McGuiness in a coalition if it came down to it, Gallagher or Higgins? How likely a scenario is that?

 

Well its a presidential election, so its one man only.

Higgins knows McGuinness is filth.

Let me put a proposition to you.....you've got a criminal organization which spends three decades accumulating political and military acumen and then, as soon as the Good Friday Agreement is signed, they just leave it all to one side, and quit.

Or, they use their muscle to push in on racketeering, drug-deals etc and take their cut off the top, taxing both national and international villains operating in both the North and the South.

Every drug deal, theft, instance of prostitution, instance of people trafficking etc has a percentage taken off the top and anted up to the local IRA chapter. They even divvy up shares with the Loyalists. Members of their own organization who object are shopped to the British authorities, a la Gerry McGeough.

McGuinness is a filth bag. Adams is a filth bag. They are filth.

 

What's the constitutional role of the President in the Republic? Is it a notional/ceremonial one or does it share some legislative or executive power with the PM?

 

The President is the Head of State and the Commander in Chief, but they basically have no power, they dissolve and re-form government, and their involvement is required in this, but it is ALWAYS performed. Techincally, the Prez has the right to refuse to dissolve a Dail or enforce Legislation, but this has never happened.

 

It's awful what became of the IRA

There was a time when it really represented something, when it's leaders were not green mafioso... regardless of their activities, they did not live extravagant lives by any stretch... their cause was a just one, many of their ranks proven heroes, who should still be considered as such no matter the actions of some of their current surviving brethren

McGuinness claims he was in the IRA from 1970-1974 and then he "left" ... he claims he was a low-level member

Well, why was he sitting at a table with Daithi O'Conail, Sean Mac Stiofain and Seamus Twomey (the admitted ARMY COUNCIL) at a press conference in 1972?

Why does EVERY SINGLE former IRA MAN who has ever discussed what they did, why and how, name Gerry Adams as the chief of staff? Why do they all name Martin McGuinness as one of the Army Council?

It should be noted, that in the maze of Northern Ireland politics, neither of these men is unusual... The Unionists have had numerous killers in positions of power... the ultimate sectarian shit-stirrer (Ian Paisley, whose death will be a nice day) who essentially had more to do with igniting the Troubles than any other single figure, was literally the face of Unionism... What I find so galling as I read through the various news items relating to McGuinness's bid for an essentially figurehead role, is the screaming hypocrisy of the man's critics... An article in the Irish Times by the imbecile Fintan O'Toole was a classic example... these writers treat the activities of the IRA as some sort of special brand of violence never before committed by any other group of people, and certainly not by any officially sanctioned military force (British Army, anyone? ask yourselves why a British Military officer was at the scene issuing orders in 1975 as the UVF, with a bogus checkpoint in place courtesy of collusion, visciously murdered another O'Toole- Fran- and his equally innocent bandmates) ... the mistakes these critics continuously make is to behave as if the IRA was the only group involved in the fighting (indeed the only group, it seems, in the history of non-arab conflicts) that ever inflicted civilian casualties... Virtually nothing is said of the numerous atrocities committed by the British forces (since they are powerful, it's ok for them to mow down innocent people or collude with sectarian murderers because the enemy of my enemy is my friend, that's FINE) and the Loyalists (who, unlike the IRA, consistently made it their stated purpose to kill Catholics, ANY Catholics, regardless of whether or not they were Republican) are rarely ever discussed by any of these writers... David Ervine was treated to an orgy of fawning tributes upon his death, these writers who jump at the chance to join the British status quo of yelling "terrorist!!!" (while completely IGNORING everything that lead to the IRA existing in the first place) were mysteriously mum about Ervine's membership in the UVF and that organization's endless supply of randomly murdered, largely innocent victims...

IF these various pundits focused their ire (no pun intended) on the things that IRISH is talking about--the current and recent state of the remaining PIRA bigwigs and their shiny Sinn Fein face... the corruption, the ridiculous denials of involvement, the sell-out of numerous positions that its volunteers starved THEMSELVES TO DEATH FOR, the obvious signs of rackateering and mafia-like activites (just like their Unionist counterparts-- THEN, I would have no issue with it... but they aren't doing that, they are treating the misdeeds of war as some unique characteristic of the IRA, a sickening pile of propagandist shit

Martin McGuinness isn't a bad candidate because he was in the IRA... he's a bad candidate because he LIES about it blatantly, he owns up to almost NOTHING, same as Gerry Adams

There is even a reasonable amount of deniability to involvement with whatever passes for republican activity TODAY from these guys, that'd be at least acceptable since no one can in any prove that either man had fuck all to do with the Northern Bank robbery, for example... but to deny endlessly what both of them CLEARLY were? That's unforgivable

 

I know, my friend, and that is what sickens me

 

I agree that when Adams and McMurder are gone that there might be an improvement, frankly the physical and moral degenerates that are O'Snodaigh and McDonald don't hold out much hope for me. These people seem literally consumed by their own bile and viciousness. O'Snoddy has turned into a bin-liner of yogurt and Mary Lou is the orangest nationalist I've ever seen. She's also a completely thick thick bitch. Manolo? Manolo? Moron.

Anyways........
