Just from looking at what's happening with Brexit I think that's enough to stop Ireland going to the polls on leaving the EU.

Before it I did remember hearing a few grumblings about whether we should do the same or should we be thinking about out from the far left. All seem to have shut up now though.

Think apart from a few left wing nutters, there is no genuine anti EU sentiment in Ireland. A lot of people are pissed off at the shafting we took over bank debt, but not enough to want to leave.

There are a few (far) right wing nutters too, though they are a parody of themselves.

Good article in the IT today from some lad who writes for the FT. Main argument was that May could have a second referendum in a face-saving manner, by putting the eventual deal to the public, vs. remaining in the EU. The public voted to leave the EU without knowing the alternative. When they eventually know that alternative, they should be given the opportunity to vote whether they want it or not.

If she's cute, she can initially propose the referendum as: "Stay in the EU, or Take Deal", and then when the Farage types kick up a fuss about option C (walk away/hard brexit) being missing, she can then include that too, guaranteeing a remain vote by splitting the leavers.

They should just do what Lord Buckethead proposed, have a referendum on do they want to have another Brexit referendum.

Like Libertas, I have a filter that just blocks them from my consciousness.

Definitely over the World Championship of Soccering now.

Lend me your prayers as I try to convince a barman in London to put on Kildare/Mayo on Saturday

You'd have a good chance of it being shown in Philomena's. Also, The Oxford Arms in Camden is owned by die-hard Mayo fans, so they'll almost definitely be showing it.

Hon Mayo!

Mayo are a disgrace.

Firstly, the county itself is named after a condiment.

Secondly, it is the name of one of Britain's more annoying radio presenters.

Thirdly, the home of Knock airport which is not as good as some other airports.

Fourthly, basically share a flag with Belarus, which is barely even a country.

Fifthly, Clare Island is one of the least good islands.

Sixthly, May is one of the worst months, is it Summer or Spring or whats the deal?

Justice will only be done if we see a conclusive Kildare win on Saturday. Unlikely though because the world is biased against Kildare and in favour of evil Mayo.

All good points, but on the other hand Kildare is barely a county. Its more a Dublin colony where we store the spill over from Dublin and people who think it'll be easier to live in the country and commute to Dublin daily :pac:. Also, as a Dub, I've become accustomed to seeing Mayo fans get their hopes up in the final the last few years only to have them dashed in the last few minutes.

Kildare is just like that big field on the outskirts of Dublin.

Unremarkable, uninteresting, it's practically the midlands.

irishbucsfan

No that is actually false, I checked with Christy Moore and he says we're very important

Buer

Gutted to hear Christy is off the wagon.

Mayo is absolutely beautiful!!! Stunning scenery. Hon Mayo.

Not a fan of Kildare but Mayo supporters have long worn me out. They'd eat themselves if they were made of chocolate.

I hope Kildare stuff them and we get a break of a few years from the Mayo love in.

Mayo are the GAA version of Ulster. They deserve success.

And yet it's still not even the midlands.

You couldn't make it up....
The local parish church was ram raided last night...by an ice-cream truck!!
He drove thru locked iron gates...then thru the outer doors...and then the inner doors.
Reportedly because he wanted to give ice-cream to the angels....

Our local ice cream man was found dead inside his van this afternoon....garda found him covered from head to toe in chocolate sprinkles.

They think he might have topped himself.


I'll get my own coat...

Update. I now have quite the scar on my face, which the missus is not too happy about. She could at least pretend to be a bit happier about the fact I don't have skin cancer anymore :pac:
