    I absolutely love Eamon Dunphy and always have. His Podcast is very good, apart from the football ones. I think National Treasure John Giles needs to retire from media, sad as it is to say.
    Billo seemed like a lovely man too, football on Irish TV will never be the same without him, he just made me feel safe and at home.

    Thinking you can score woke points for calling Irish people racists is a bit much


    This might be a surprise to you, but it is possible to like or respect people without having a crush on them.

    I've no idea what woke points are, tbh. But I don't think they have anything to do with her musical talent. If you don't like her politics or her public position, then so be it. But again, that's got nothing to do with her talent.

    Woke points are what lad say that think will get them points. eg
    "We need to eliminate male toxicity"
    "Arent all african American due reparations?"
    "I am vegan"
    "We need to ban all guns"
    "Trump is a Billox and Sanders was robbed"

    Does saying that actually work?

    What talent? The list of modern Rockabilly artists with talent is not a long one and Imelda aint on it.

    Are there any Irish people who are loved by everybody, or practically everybody anyway?
    The only 1 I can think of to even come close to it is Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh.
    Any others?

    Certainly not MO'M, I'm not alone in not being able to stand the maudlin auld lad reminiscing about the GAA.

    Paul McGrath
    Colm Meaney
    Brendan Gleason
    Phil Lynnott would be my picks.

    Yes it does, as long as you are over 6 foot, look attractive, have a good job and have a reputation for being a stallion in the sack. In fact if you have these traits you can pretty much say whatever you like.

    Phil Lynott would be my choice, love everything about him, could listen to him all day and he seemed so genuine also.
    Dolores o Riordan would definitely be up there, huge talent and again seemed very ordinary and down to earth.
    I have to say I love Roy Keane, lots won't agree but he sticks to his principles and isnt a crowd pleaser and I admire that in a person.

    She moved on from rockabilily quite a few years back. You really should keep up if you're going to position yourself as the expert judge.

    I'm still confused on a few details.

    1) 'get them points' - points from who and for what? What are these points?
    2) Did Imelda say any of these things
    3) What has her political position got to do with her musical talent?

    Saint Patrick. Imagine having to live with snakes every day. It's bad enough having to dodge traffic and pedestrians and cyclists and whatever when you're walking about doing your day to day stuff, that's a pain. But add snakes into the mix? I'm staying home.
