Very funny.

You clearly know little about Mrs. O'Carroll who was a legend in Finglas.

Did they take that poll from the Rte staff canteen.

They should have polled 1000 Irish people living and working in the US.
The result would be the complete opposite.

I'm not sure about completely opposite but your point about Irish voting trends in the US is broadly correct.

As for the poll as presented I think the result is unsurprising.

Most people in Ireland have a poor opinion of Trump.

He just seems to lack energy. Trump on the other hand seems to relish animosity and it animated him.

I disagree. He has plenty of energy he just does not waste it like Trump shouting to oddball who have already voted for him and if it was teo weeks or more back when they were at his rallies are probably now sick or even dieing from Covid because Trump simply does not care about them or anyone because if he did he would have had then Social distancing and wearing masks.

Go Biden Go Kamala Harris

High IQ take.

Did they really laugh at O’Carroll saying he wanted to stab a Trump supporter with a screwdriver? Just flip that on its head for a second and imagine the reaction

I thought he spoke very well. Plus, I don't remember him claiming to be an expert

Thought it was quite funny, the mother of all rants on Trump went just short of calling him the antichrist ............followed by 'and so I understand you're friends with the Biden family'

Claire should call back Brendan O' Carroll and ask him how his prediction was so wrong last week...

Cascarino is an intelligent and likeable guy but due to lack of experience and an emotional connection with these issues I think he's jumped the gun.

No connection between heading and dementia has been shown yet. Okay we know in NFL and rugby when you have concussions then you have brain injury and a definite link to dementia and CTE. In NFL you have the medical imaging, you have really damning stats. Football is very different as it's a slight thud every time you hit your head. A thousand slight thuds are not the same as one big thud.

There's an interesting effect in health and medicine that when you suggest a symptom to someone they start looking for that symptom and after a while of this they find they have it. Plenty of otherwise reasonable people will go around thinking they have this or that, memory and cognition is a really, really subjective thing. So this thing about floods of people calling him up saying they have this or that symptom is with all due respect fairly meaningless. It's like how come they weren't all doing that in the 70s or 80s and we didn't notice it? They used far heavier footballs back then. Saying "it's like cigarettes!" is an invalid argument, you could say that about any health risk you're trying to warn people about.

"but the incidence of dementia is 3 times in footballers who head the ball".... okay well that is some real data then, but that's just the starting point. You could also find statistics like people who play professional darts have 3 times the dementia rate as people who play cricket. Why is this, is it the throwing of the dart? Of course not, there are a thousand other variables at play. You're going to have to do better than that.

Furthermore there isn't really a "high likelihood" that he'll get dementia at all, I thought he had some sort of familial gene or diagnosis to back that up but he doesn't at all, just a family history. Just because his father has it only fractionally increases his risk. It's like getting cancer.

Mannix never sounded better there.

A jailbird preaching about the wrongs of having a beer at the weekend like it’s
murder ! What a joke

Jesus that absolute entitled muppet who had a pint needs to cop on. It was like something you'd read on Ross O'Carroll Kelly. If he wanted to do his bit to get the pubs reopened he totally screwed it up. I think we need to open the pubs and restaurants (but ban take away pints and close the off-licences). But this twat just shat all over that objective by arguing for it. He must own a string of off licences across South County Dublin. It was like listening to Ross' father.

Why would you ban take away pints? It's working very well rurally and helping business pay their overhead.
Why not get the Gardai to do their job in Dublin where most of the lawbreaking is happening? The panelist is right...break the rules you are closed for the next week. Keep breaking them, closed for good.

Mannix does not fit the definition of a jailbird.

He had a tough start in life and was detained as child. He later served part of a sentence in prison.

He got back on track and managed to make something of himself.

Redemption.

I'd let the pubs open and let the publicans police it. I'm trust most publicans to be responsible and have a more controlled environment than a house party or street party. Plus restaurant owners should also be left reopen. Opening them up would also be invaluable for their businesses and help the economy. I thought we were edging towards that with the reports of house parties and street parties. But now this gobsh1te has firmly shifted the focus of the angry mob back onto the pubs which have been closed for 8 months but still get the blame.

CH3OH

I though Mannix spoke very well.

There are byelaws that outlaw the consumption of alcohol in a public place.

We just need the Gardai to do a bit of policing.

The Dublin pubs were serving the drink and stood idly by as crowds formed.

If you don't want crowds forming on a given night it isn't rocket science to work out what to do. Stop serving drink, they'll get the message soon enough.

I disagree.

It's a minor miracle that the man is alive at all never mind making a contribution to society.
