Irish players aren't really that skilled (relatively speaking). If you've ever watched an Irish player try to control a flighted pass, it can be painful to watch. They're all knees and elbows , and take about three touches to get it down, by which time an opposition defender has already closed...

Alan Lichtman, who has correctly predicted 9 of 10 last presidents (with the one exception being Bush v Gore) has said that Trump wins if Biden's replaced. Hard to see Biden winning, myself, but I thought this was an interesting one for Lichtman to hang his hat on. But, yeah, Biden seems...

Don't forget that when Jack Charlton got the job, there wasn't exactly a media sensation around the appointment, either. I'm not saying he'll be the next Charlton or anything, but both appointments would come after a long period in the doldrums and there cannot be an expectation for the kind of...

If you didn't see AC/DC by June, 2010, then I dare say you never *really* saw them, if anyone wants to be purist about it, as this was the last time the classic Brian Johnson lineup was together on stage. Having said that, I'm sure the upcoming tour will be quite good, especially if age is...

Are "Dublin scum" scum just by virtue of being from Dublin? 'Cause I'm from Dublin and I don't feel like sc- Will yiz shurrup!!! ...Sorry about that, my bastard childeredn are acting up again. They need their heroin and I can't seem to work out how to turn off the voice to text feature on...

Only in the case where they're being a try-hard. But if they're authentically that, I really enjoy it. Kind of reminds me of some of my da's old friends...

Why not? It seems like it's free publicity. You might say it's free publicity to the tune of 83 million, but I'm left wondering if really rich people ever actually pay this kind of money when they can hire lawyers to stymie it in some way or else just hire creative accountants to move their...

If it's all about listening to the problems of the economically disenfranchised and giving them some hope, they could have voted for Bernie Sanders when he ran. Even if he was as populist as Trump, his version of it at least didn't come with the side of open bigotry that Trump's does.

I think that old maxim held better when top American politicians were quite staid figures with 2.4 children and a generally very micro-managed public image where even a small, and I repeat small, scandal would be considered a major consideration about their electability such as having toked on...

Pretty sure the 'walked out on his country' types live all over the island.

Literally no-one believes that apart from a few attention seekers on Tumblr.

As I understand it, the main lynchpin of Trump's case in Trump V Anderson is whether 'officer of the United States' pertains to US president in the context of Amendment 14, section 3 of the US constitution (the clause dealing with insurrectionists being disqualified from holding elected office)...

I don't know if it's fair to say that their Supreme Court is 'dodgy'. Yes, there are three Trump picks on it, I think, and in Trump's mind this should ensure their undying loyalty, but it hasn't really worked out that way. For example, they didn't want to know about his bogus appeals over the...

Rogan's just in another one in the bubble where he gets all the clips of Biden stumbling over his words in a carefully edited 'Biden has dementia' supercut, and none of the same for Trump, even though there is plenty of material to work with in Trump's case. As I've said, it would be ideal to...

I'm not sure what exactly odds matter with respect to an election that's still another nine and a half months away. And even if recent odds were the best indicator, I'd still have that 15 quid I put on Hillary Clinton in 2016, plus a few quid more.

Overall - and maybe this is just me having a crazy idea - but overall I would say that America should be aiming a little bit higher for who is their President than two men where which one has dementia is an actual argument that people are having. Sadly, it looks like it will be between two...

I'm really amazed that Shane Macgowan lived to be 65. I think that's a great age when you consider that he was solidly drunk for approximately 45 years, not to mention imbibing in harder drugs as well. I remember times when he'd go on the LLS in the 2000s, where he'd be missing all of his teeth...

I was in Dublin CC the morning after the riot. It seemed quiet enough, all the same. The Luas was even running. The seats were only a bit charred.

Ugh, I'm from north Dublin and very near Skerries. The town has become ever more gentrified in the last 20 years, and I can only see that it going further in that direction and the historic population kind of get priced out living there and then it's just all just these fey D4 transplants going...
