if I see that Paul Mescal lad in anything else I'll scream

Social media make him out to be a god, the man could just be out for a walk and they would make a deal out of it 'must see actor Paul Mescal out for a walk passes and says hello to adoring fans'

All sports. Never saw the point in any of it.
If Ireland were playing the world Cup final, I'd go to the supermarket to take advantage of the lack of queues.

I don't care, I doubt anyone does.
I'm assuming a stork didn't bring the baby, this might make for an interesting story, otherwise, no.

I agree. the worst ones are the women who used to be fat, because its all that matters to them now. if they have 5 pictures on a dating site, at least 4 of them will be a gym pic. everyone should exercise the same way everyone should eat a breakfast or get sleep, its like their whole personality is the gym which is very boring.

I can't remember where I heard it from probably some US sitcom about the expectation vs. reality.

Sport on tv, the only sport I watch is the world Cup. I don't give a damn about the premiership,
Most players will go to any team that gives them the most money.
The way the system works seems to be
the team with the most money will probably win the cup, eg the team that will buy the best players regardless of the cost.
I have no interest in gaa, hurling, rugby etc I.m not against lgbt rights, I don't understand someone who objects to being called, him or her.

Women's sport. Sorry, I just can't watch a sport that's far inferior to a sport I can watch on tap in the form of male sports.

Agree with all of that apart from the women’s sport...

Example... Tennis, I find the women’s game far more interesting then the men’s... The likes of Pete Sampras and a couple of others were the beginning of me getting a bit fed up of the men’s game. A personality vacuum Sampras with a tank of a serve and an otherwise decent game. Agassi was 1000% more entertaining and enjoyable to watch... fast, agile, entertaining, interesting personality.

But the likes of Graf, Seles, Novotna, Martina, Hinges and many more were entertaining.... rally’s lasted, play was unpredictable, aces far and few between.... sport should be entertaining, woman’s tennis is, and women’s sport overall can be more competitive and close therefore more or as enjoyable, depending on the sport.

I think the difference is that the coverage for ladies tennis is organic. It has been on an even footing with the men in terms of being on our tellies every summer with Wimbledon. Same goes with the women's disciplines in the Olympics every four years.

The way it is now though, is that the clearly inferior women's soccer, gaelic football, camogie and rugby are being forced down our throats to comply with the "inclusivety" of sports coverage today. It's actually crazy that media outlets are essentially being forced to cover sports that have disproportionately smaller audiences and thus less interest.

Is it being forced down our throats ? Last years All Ireland ladies football final had about 57,000 people in attendance... it’s only in the latter half of the decade where the woman’s game was given anything approaching any serious media coverage and it’s becoming more accessible to everybody. Live matches, highlights, interviews with players, panel discussions and so on... instead of a token of showing the final live. That enables the public to be more involved, to enjoy the product and all of us to become acquainted with how competitive, skillful, entertaining and passionate ladies football is.

I know a couple of inter-county players and I see the hard work, dedication to fitness, skills, they put in.. its work/college - friends/family - football... it’s physical, skillful, entertaining....

womens tennis hasnt been in anyway competitive or entertaining in nearly twenty years, the williams sisters destroyed it ( through sheer dominance )

sampras was the most boring person alive , never mind in tennis , take him out of the equation and hes been out of the game for nearly twenty years anyway , mens tennis has had several players who were capable of winning any of the grand slams , mens tennis has far exceeded womens for more than fifteen years

i did prefer womens tennis in the late eighties and early nineties to the mens game

They tend to “peak” around September/October, you’ll see a fair few running about then due to their “mating” season.

Sorry just skimmed through the thread best I could.

I would say for me it is Celebrity Shyte, what did so called celebrities do for us? Nothing like the Romans did anyway lol. And I know they weren't here, just in general ok.

There is so much more, and when I get time to read back, I am sure I will high five lots of suggestions too that I would totally agree with.

The Kardashian craze, theres people who dedicate their lives to help humanity, scientists, doctors, soldiers, engineers,, even ordinary people doing shìt jobs for shìt money trying to keep their head above water , and we place these fcukin degenerates on pedestals and treat them like royalty, we've fckued up as a society when we make heros of pond scum like them, not to mention the waste of space the likes of I'm a celebrity and Britain's got talent produce, I'd be quite happy to see simon Cowell die a pauper for what he has single handedly done to the music industry
