No, I don't.
I don't watch any tv at all.

It's like I'm 4 again, and being called a loser for some silly 4 year old reason!
Anyway, if disliking sports makes me a loser, then fine - I'm a loser!

Very good point. Some yob with a pot belly knocking back pints talking about "we" played.

True and it needs to be so fast paced too and the story has to happen within one episode for the most part. A mini movie that could stand on its own. Where once you had episodes, now you have story arcs.

Cracker a perfect example and it ITV! It tackled so many issues, Alcoholism which was pretty dated, Gambling, sexism in the police and Rape from a different angle.

It was the rampant alcoholic and gambler who could see the problems! All I see are cliches based upon Cracker or a couple of others. Supposed to be inventive apparently.

If marriage is a pillar of society, then we're pretty fecked tbh considering the amount of marriages that end in divorce.

I can't disagree with the logic of this. The number of divorces we have do weaken this particular pillar of society. It's my opinion that many (but not all) divorces are unnecessary.

You pretty much made the assumption that anyone that is really into football is a beer guzzling loser. I love the sport and I support Manchester United but I do not see how that would annoy some people I wouldn't bother talking football with someone who does not follow it.

I will watch every euro match and probably not have one drink with any of the matches, I dont like star trek or twilight for example but I wont get so worked up because some people like them.

It would be a good comparison if star trek or twilight were part of every news bulletin, were always shoved at you from every angle.
And no, I didn't make that assumption, it was just a stereotype - I can tell the difference obviously.

If the news talks about football its obviously because it has lots of fans I just don't understand why you don't change over channel rather than getting annoyed about it.

Using male/female as a noun is dehumanising — always sounds to me like people are talking about animals.

The move to having two parents working didn't work out & now has an adverse affect on mental health, family life & cost of living. (Not that it couldn't work, just that we all got screwed over by house prices conveniently doubling when two incomes started coming in)

That's true when it comes to fences, not so much marriage. 2 gay men or 2 gay women getting married doesn't effect 2 straight people in any way. It's not like the love of your life is going to suddenly turn gay and marry just because it's legal.
If you don't support gay marriage, don't get gay married!

I reckon if they want to get married they should start their own religion , (other than that I think they are cool to get civil partner ships and such.

I am a footie fan but she has a point. A whole RTE channel is being taken over for 5-6 hours, every day for two weeks. If something similar happened for Twilight we would complain.

because of all the houses and pubs being repainted, listening to idiots beep horns and yell outside all day long, even our workplace is drowned in irish flags and colours and we should all wear a sports jersey to work on match days
and everyone won't shut up about it
nowhere near a tv

The difference is that content is online, you can elect to read it. It's not the same as sitting down to the 6.1 news and having to watch the content.

The links you posted are all from the entertainment sections anyway, it's not like they're on the front page of the website.

It doesn't have it's own segment in every single news report!

There isn't a new Twilight book or movie every day or week, so the comparison is nonsensical. When anything newsworthy happens in the Twilight universe, it does show up on the news.

I'm sorry but that is BS. Maybe it shows up on Sky News, but I've never heard a mention of Twilight on any Irish news broadcast.

What's marriage got to do with religion?
I'm an athiest, should i not be able to get married too, gay or otherwise?
If the church don't want them durty gays marrying, then fine don't let them marry in your church, but the state has no reason to bar it.

Its a religeous ceremony , a civil partnership is pretty much a marriage without the religion as far as I can see.

No, you're wrong there. You don't need a church at all to get married.
http://www.groireland.ie/getting_married.htm

Most hotels that specialise in weddings have a room for the reception, and one for the wedding if you choose to do it there instead of a church. A wedding and marriage doesn't need an ounce of religion in it.

I got married in a hotel with an official registrar and a celebrant.
I am legally married, and I had a beautiful ceremony with music and poems and old Irish traditions etc...
Not a single religious thing about the entire ceremony.

But yeh, she's not fat. At all. It's fairly irresponsible to call someone fat, but especially when it's someone who very clearly is not.
