No quitten we're whelan on to chitchat 11

First off I did not rip the **** out of the 20's. If you read my post, I gave a technical description of the game and then used the under 20's game as an example of the score in the game.

As I said some lads are prickly. I was watching rugby in black and white before most here were born. It was on Saturdays from mid January to mid March back then the only game you saw was the Irish games.

Yes it's a technical game however for the modern game especially at professional level the pitch is too small for teams of 15 elite athletes. While they have taken some of the concussion risk out if it and the more dangerous tackles it is still a risky game. We will not see what the true risks are for another 20-30 years.

At the end in scoring about 70% of tries at professional level players virtually have to bash there way over the line.

All sports have there flaws. I was annoyed last night to see Anthony Daly avoided the question on the melee. Even the hurling panelists first reaction was it was handbags stuff. It was not until the striking was shown that they accepted the need for the red card.

I would never be a fan of Gogh as a ref. However he was very brave in his decision to deal with the melee on the he Tyrone/Antrim match. Now it was easier as it was the very end of the match and what happend did not effect the result.

Watching last night's melee 2-4 more players could have seen the line. Horgan only dealt with what he saw he never conferred with his umpires to any great extent.

Yea definitely. I also think Carbery being on the field was one of the factors in making the decision to go for the posts with that penalty at 6 points down the right decision. There’s a lot of flak towards James Ryan not being captain material because of that but I think the complete opposite.

If they had went to the corner and were lucky enough to get a try, and that was at very best a 50 50 chance, they were then in a position where Carbery has a very difficult kick from the sideline to get us ahead. Make that kick and he’s a hero, miss it and it could have ruined him. All the talk online, in the papers, everywhere, would be of that missed kick and it losing the game and costing us the chance of a grand slam. I know that’s he’s job on the pitch and if he’s not fit to take that chance you could argue he shouldn’t be there but it would have been 75 mins into his first game after a lengthy injury lay off in his first six nations start. There would have to be a fatigue and pressure factor to be allowed for so I think it was the right decision and the captain backed the team to get back to a try scoring position to win. Ultimately that didn’t happen but it meant they lost as a team rather than on one individual. My opinion is it was an excellent captains decision.

Our previous lineout in that corner the French won from our throw so no guarantee we would have even won the lineout, let alone get over for the try. But of we did we were then in the position I described previously with all the pressure on Carbery and he’s either the hero or villain then.

Anyone ever buy a fluxcore welder from lidl? Similar to mig but without the need for shielding gas. Just wondering would any of the usual welding/engineering shops sell flux wire to suit them? Our local Lidl was putting them on the shelves tonight not advertised as they are surplus stock. Sajd id ask around before purchasing but cant go too far wrong at €94.99. Also see a plasma cutter with a built in compressor system there aswell in case anyones interested @€170ish.

Thanks for the reply, asked fella im working with he said the same. It only goes to 120amp and is really only suited for stuff up to 2.5mm so he reckoned tis really only of any use to a panel beater really.

Flightradar24 tells you what is overhead.

See if flight UR0801 matches up with your time and location.

Big cargo plane doing a bit of sightseeing.

I don't know if it was the same aircraft, but it or others were doing the same thing a regularly a few hours later. But i didn't get to look up flight radar again. Is it not a very large expensive aircraft to be doing training in? Never had them doing these low banking passes before.

That same aircraft did six Shannon to Shannon take offs and landings that day each flight lasting half an hour and not following the same route each time.

I think you've solved your puzzle. She came from Bournemouth airport in the uk to Shannon before that and today went Bournemouth to New York. An Airbus A340.

Their paws are all over this since 2014, the fascinating thing is the disrespect and disdain the Biden white-house is showing towards Ukraines leadership announcing imment invasions on certain dates and the Ukraines first here it from the white house press briefings

It’s pro Russia but has factual information

Nuland is some piece of work when you read up on her achievements

The extremely reactionary chauvinistic Nuland was deputy foreign advisor to Dick Cheney during the Bush-Cheney administration (2003-2005) and then U.S. ambassador to NATO (2005-2008). Under Obama she was Under Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia, handpicked by Hillary Clinton. She is married to noted neocon warmonger-scholar Robert Kagan. Both were deeply complicit in spreading the Big Lies leading to the Iraq War in 2003. Nuland supported Hillary Clinton’s terroristic regime change efforts in Libya and Syria. But her main mission in life is to expand NATO. Joe Biden shares her passion for this project.

Nuland is perhaps best known for her pithy ejaculation: “**** the EU!” in a telephone call with the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine in 2014.

A slap in the face from a dirty cow's tail has a higher approval rating than Biden so a war is the age old traditional way of improving that. Ukrainian president needing to come out afterwards to calm everything down shows how desperate they are.

One things for sure, there will be a lot of very disappointed and angry Irish warhawks if nothing happens. It's like it's after filling the void covid left for them. Morons repeating what everyone else hears on the radio and news and passing it off like they're experts on the situation.

Yes.
