Not a huge Trump fan, but I don't have Trump derangement syndrome like most of the fools on here.
Give credit when it's due.

Many thanks to Daingean UÍ Chúis and St Finbarrs for providing such great entertainment on a cold and wet December sunday. Mabey the top brass in the GAA will realise now that "pride in the parish" is the lifeline of our gaelic games and not county teams with budgets in excess of 2million euro.

Was club football ever promoted more than it is now?

Replying To Viking66:  "Some of those 10 times we weren't 1 of the 7 or 8 teams. There's a competition in Rugby called the wooden spoon. We have won it more times historically than any other country."
When was the last world cup when Ireland were outside the top 7 or 8 teams though? We haven't gotten a wooden spoon in decades.

In 2019 and 2023 Ireland were ranked number 1 in the world coming up to the world cup and still reached the same stage they always do.

Replying To alalalalalum:  "The rugby team are a cossetted bunch since birth. They've never been criticised. Look at rte coverage when they lose. One particular pundit praises them to high heaven even when they're beaten off the field like they were with S Africa. Never their fault when they lose"
Alot of those lads got sent to Boarding School. Hardly cossetted from birth. They likely didnt have the option of running to mammy any time they had a problem like most people had growing up.

OK you actually said 7 or 8.

But you're still not addressing my point. This entire debate is whether the Ireland team are serial chokers at the World Cup.

You keep emphasising how crap Ireland were pre-2000. Yet the post-2000 Ireland teams perform no better in the World Cup than those Ireland teams you have repeatedly claimed were dire.

Repeatedly failing at the top stage despite being heavily favoured, like Ireland do, is almost the definition of choking.

Great win by Martins. Had a sneaky feeling they were going to pull it off. Congratulations to them!

Playing the showcase games in the muck and the rain in the dead of winter, doesn't sound like promoting the games to me.

Dingle v Barrs was incredible drama. It has been a great year for football. Absolutely marvellous!

So Trump deserves credit for caving in to Putins demands? Like Lloyd George did for caving in to Carson and Craig's demands? Or Collins for that matter?

Replying To updwell:  "Ut wasn't thrown away, it was given to Ukraine to support them against fascists."
And how's that going for them? Its just throwing good money after bad. Imagine what €125 million could have done for our own defense or our Gardai? Remember Zelenski and Co aren't worrying about you and me.
