Anyone see that Lobov vs Knight bare knuckle fight? Mental.

How messed up in the head do you have to be to take part in this sort of carry on? Two lads faces were properly minced after.

It's going to end up getting banned fairly fast.

The organiser gave away half of one of the fighter's pots because he felt like "it was entertaining enough" because he wasn't throwing enough punches.

I'd be interested to see the data on whether bare knuckle fighters take more or less shots to the head than traditional boxing, and also whether the average force is any different. I'd take a mangled face any day over CTE.

I enjoy boxing and I've watched the odd mma fight but that is not or ever should be allowed. It's not a sport end of. If that was happening on a street corner the 2 lads would be in a cell before they knew what was happening. Barbaric.

Does anyone have any experience letting out parking spaces in Dublin. Like what are the best websites to sell them on, pay the least commission or fees etc

I have always used Daft to find the spaces I’ve rented. Think there is still a free option on it?

CatFromHue

I have a lot of experience letting out farts in Dublin, i use waft.

I hope this is of some help :pac:

Apparently Delaney and two other board members will be leaving the FAI.

I'll believe it once it's confirmed, but if true, brilliant outcome.

Strange to have final round of the Masters on Sunday afternoon, Molinari with a serious chance to win another Major. Some turnaround in his career the last 18 months.

The Folau controversy highlights the fact that many people don't seem to understand that in many countries the freedom of expression isn't absolute.

I can't think of any country where you have absolute freedom of expression...some give more leeway...but nothing is absolute

So to open the debate, would this be the greatest comeback in the history of sport?

This guy had his spine fused back together only a couple of years ago!

Tigers back

I'm not a Tiger fan at all.... but you've got to admire his determination to get back to where he once was 13 years ago...

Same.
He's very unlikeable.

But such a fantastic golfer

Nah.

Feck him.

I called Tiger yesterday when he was still a good price, actually raging I didn’t go for it.

The problem is that people don't understand the difference between freedom of speech/expressions and lack of consequences for saying what want. The fact that Folau isn't in jail for what he said means that he has freedom of speech. The fact that he might have his contract cancelled means that what he said was in breach of clauses in his contract,so he has to face the consequences.

As an adult living in Ireland I'm perfectly entitled to get drunk if I choose to so long as I don't endanger or bother/harm anyone else. If I went into work drunk and got a warning for it and was told not to do it again and then did it again my company would be well within their rights to sack me

In Western societies in general, lots of people spend a lot of time talking about their rights and next to no time at all talking about their responsibilities.

A fire is ongoing at Notre Dame cathedral in Paris. Fingers crossed the damage can be controlled. It's an incredible building.

Has anyone on here ever filled the AdBlue tank in their car from one of the fuel stations rather than buying the drums of it? Is it handy enough?

Really really sad sight. The fire looks completely out of control.

And further, they don't understand that freedom of speech protects you from government, not from your employer or other private organisations.

Yep....There's a place just off the naas road that does it. Pump into the ad blue tank hole and off you go...Cheaper than drums or bottles!!

So...all that talk of Georgia entering the 6N...had a quick look on the NZ Safe Travel website for Georgia...

Do not travel to the regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia and the areas near the administrative boundary lines. The threat of terrorism, crime and unexploded mines and ordnance makes travel to these areas extremely dangerous.

Previous incidents of terrorism have included improvised explosive devices and other acts of violence in South Ossetia and Abkhazia. There is also a danger from unexploded landmines in Abkhazia and South Ossetia and mined areas may be unmarked. New Zealanders are advised not to stray off well-used roads and paths in those areas.

As these regions are not under the control of Georgian authorities, the New Zealand Government has a severely limited ability to provide assistance to New Zealand citizens.

:eek:
