I'd say Paulie has spent many a sleepless night, tossing and turning, debating whether he gambles we'll get over the Scotland and keeps that in his locker to use in a potential semi final against Wales or does he not leave anything to chance and bring out that howitzer early to down the Scots...

I wonder would he have got as much if he said he was dying from the flu

Maybe safer for the ball carrier certainly not the tackler. How many times do you see players with the ball in hand basically stop and plant their body, and then lead with the shoulder or hip, which more or less buckles the tackler if he gets it wrong. It's like hitting a brick wall especially...

What if he believes that though and if that was the reason he picked those seven? If the question was why not boybands he could have used the same answer or similarly why those seven he may have said I don't believe any other musicians are as articulate or can compare on an intellectual level...

Was it not a specific question about women and black musicians in relation to the people he picked? If I'm asked to compare A to B, saying I prefer A and giving a reason does not necessarily mean I'm denigrating B.

Are you really trying to conflate something which was created with the sole intention to offend and alienate and something which was created as a protest to wilful and needless violence? Seriously? If you consider this song to be offensive than why did you go to bat for Celtic symphony when...

I don't know why the PA chose that song perhaps he'd been to Thomond or Croke Park. who knows? He obviously got the response he was looking for, maybe another song would have achieved the same who knows, I wouldn't be so sure though, it is quite a sing out loud song. The problem here is people...

How exactly does it offend the nationalist community? Its lyrics are clearly anti violence and at the time the majority of nationalists did not support the IRA, in fact as I'm sure you are well aware support for SF took off after they left violence behind them and signed up to the Good Friday...

Tbh I'd say your accent back then (I'm assuming you've developed an American twang or none of your students would understand a word you say) would seem alien to them also, whether they'd be so judgemental is another thing. Having an inferiority complex is not a reason to dislike someone...

Do you live in Ireland Philby? Sporting index made me close my account last month, said it was related to Brexit. Had the thing for 20 odd years.

The thing is Ireland as a unit play a lot better when Gibson Park is on song then when Murray is, to beat SA we need to play at a high tempo and Murray's ponderous passing simply wouldn't do. If we are getting beat up in the pack and starved of possession yes you'd prefer Murray but if that...

Kleyn is great for Munster but Ireland don't play like Munster. Farrell rightly or wrongly doesn't think Kleyn has the skill levels to play to the type of game plan he envisages. So he has deemed him surplus to requirements. The thing is Kleyn could be shite for Ireland yet great for South...

Yes I agree bullying someone simply because they are gay is homophobic, but I think it was obvious the point he was making, namely as he is not gay he wouldn't want to be seen leaving a gay bar as people may to presume he was gay. Maybe that is what happened him and that explains his now non...

You seem to be fixated with homophobia. People make assumptions, so for example if I walked into a gay I think it would be safe to assume the gay people in there would assume I'm also gay, therefore I couldn't really complain if a few lads started chatting me up, why wouldn't they think I'm gay...

Well most straight people don't go into gay bars for a variety reasons but I would say the main one is a straight guy/girl probably think it is unlikely they will meet someone of the opposite sex who may potentially be interested in them, so in that sense I can see why they wouldn't advertise...
