'They didn't have Maradona but they had some great players and had a great team'

This is fine. New Zealand knew what they were getting themselves in for, and France are doing what is best for their players and for the sport in their country.

Agree it’s a fantastic game with a legendary back catalogue, of which I am happy to admit I have a pretty limited knowledge. Still quite a long way off any other countries fielding their hurly burly team though, eh ike? Even after how many years of trying…

Question: Which will we be more likely to see first, the hurly burly World Cup or a pro rugby team owned (and run!) by its fans?

‘When you see (sic) written after what seems like a mistake, it means the words were used intentionally.’

But you knew that right…

And the real point here ofc, is the contrast between your original post and your latest contortion!

Brexidiots talked tough and lied that the EU had more than the UK to lose. But it was all shallow lies ofcourse. All the EU had to do was wait, the UK had put the gun to its own head which would go off at a certain known point in time. The EU had won the negotiation before it had even started.

So we had extensions, more UK tough talking, capitulations, changes of Government and PMs everything you’d expect from a disfunctional state. Farage and Tice who claimed before the vote that ‘No-one is talking about leaving the Customs Union or Single market’ were now screaming about traitors unless the hardest Brexit was not enforced. May, Johnson, Davis, Rabb, Frost etc etc all devoured not by traitorous insiders but by the ridiculousness of their own project.

That is why all Ireland had to do was add the border as a pre requisite. Even Unionists concurred that the EU put a lot more effort into fixing the issues on the ground than the UK. Proving once again how completely unfit you are to Govern. The man who thinks Ireland are the ‘parasites of the world’ gives his opinion on Ireland? Do F**k off f@sc1st Tommie!

But men like Farage and those he represents cashed in big: the grifter made a killing for his cronies before the voting had even stopped at the expense of ordinary people.

Did you mean the Baseball World Series? That was for sponsorship reasons linked to a tobacco company.

To be fair, a Cork V Limerick matchup is not for the faint hearted. Quite the event!

Vernacular english requires no correction. Not least when deliberate.

Is it a Freudian slip around the illegitimacy of naughty Ben’s ‘government’ ???

You’re STILL too thick to even insult!

Empire. If you build it, they will come.

I think big Gerry just beat a libel case the other week. Has he time for another?

Don’t be polite, british right-wing. So tentative.

Jump the shark - go all in.

Tommy’s wee government pays for bombs to be dropped on foreign innocents yet when you drop a few truth bombs on Tommy, that most mentally challenged of engerland trolls, well…

Traitors the lot of them, hahaha.

The Brits fairly caved in once a bombing campaign was brought to their own door step?

Almost as quickly as they lost that empire!!!
