So – how was it for you? No,  not that – the World Cup, I mean. There were some wonderful games, some terrific skill and team work, some dirty hacking (yes, I’m looking at you, Argentina) and the final game was beyond hopeless , the only thing worse was  the half-time ‘entertainment’ (which Wayne Rooney […]

Well, that was a crap game. It’s OK to say ‘crap’  ‘cos Wayne Rooney used it in reference to the half-time show, which if anything was worse than the game. A lot of people hate Argentina.The reason for this is that they tried to seize back the Falklands. Such bare-faced cheek! Most Falklanders want to […]

Sport and politics don’t mix; that’s why Keir Starmer has called for investigation of that Malvinas banner that was thrown on the pitch after Argentina had jumped all over England’s dream. As Gary Lineker is alleged to have said: “Is Tomas Tuckel a German spy?”   This week the Dail debated the economics of a […]

Well, here we go again.Argentina v Eng-er-land. Already I’m clearing my throat and gargling as I prepare to roar on every Argentine attack and  swear at every Eng-er-land effort. What is wrong with me, what is wrong with you? Why do  we want Eng-er-land  trashed? I have two English daughters-in-law and three English grandchildren. English […]

Are you from Moygashel? If you are, you must be delighted with the expression of culture displayed by a towering bonfire with a replica mosque perched on top. Would it be going too far to suggest that this marriage of anti-immigrants and Orange bonfire is a match made…Well, you decide where the best place for […]

The FAI first: the FAI has decided not to boycott upcoming games against Israel. If they did, […]

  Donald Trump does and says some things that are so embarrassing, you don’t know which way to look. He has contacted Infantino,the head honcho of international football, and persuaded him to remove a red card from the record of one of the US’s best players. Nice generous gesture,but does it make sense, to have […]

A new application has been made to walk down the Garvaghy Road. Yes,that’s the dispute that ended with taxi-driver (and graduate) Michael McGolderick being shot dead and the three Quinn children in Ballymoney being burned to death in their home. WhY? They were Catholics. Andy Burnham has one part of his CV that might end up […]

        In the context of the genocide taking place in Gaza, the only criterion for suitability for high office in Britain or in any country is whether the candidate is a Zionist or not. In other words does he/she support Netanyahu and the Zionist government or do they support the oppressed Palestinian […]

It’s important that we make rational decisions, especially in matters that involve huge sums of money and the possible loss of life. If we were faced with some crisis in our family finances, we’d not just concede the need for the rational, we’d demand it. Yet we shrug our shoulders and sigh when we hear […]
