Second Captains

Yeah, Williams was like an antivaxxer spoofing about the "science" being "unclear".

Claiming that nursing homes not being full of brain damaged rugby players is strong evidence that rugby doesn't cause problems in later life, ignores the obvious point that the size and power of rugby players today is incomparable to what it was 20 years ago.

Eoin should've pulled him up on it.

You seem to think that the product and the underlying structures are mutually exclusive..

They are not.

Without the right structures you are never going to have anything remotely resembling a product. So someone who seriously wanted to sell a 'product' would have to have a very strong vested interest in the structures of the game.

As such this comment is bit wrong headed

The GAA is obsessed about structures and makes a damn sight more selling its product than the LOI does. If you're not obsessed about selling your product then professional sport isn't for you.

The GAA has a hell of a lot more money, it's comparing apples with oranges. It's up to the FAI to put country wide structures in place, not the LOI.
There's just no way the LOI will ever be more than it is, it's impossible imho. People just aren't interested and never will. I'm not saying give up, but we'll never have a league with average attendances at 10k.

FFS, this again?! They have an opinion and it differs from yours so now it's not "fair and balanced". Boohoo. Big strong tough guys railing against lily-liveried so-called political correctness just come across as whiny bitches who are so insecure in their views they can't tolerate a contrary opinion.

I swear if I had a euro for every time someone complained about PC on boards I'd have my mrtgage paid and wouldn't be slogging into work at 5am.

How is this political correctness?

This thread is for giving out about football weekly and occasionally talking about second captains. Feck off to AH and derail a thread like the rest of the poor oppressed, extremely vocal minority edgelords who think the the sun setting in the evening is because a Leftie pc sjw was offended.

You need to read the dictionary definition of "all". That is all.

'No bulls hit king'. Coleman he was talking about iirc. I hear it the other way too.

100% in agreement with Murph about the haka.

Say Your Number likes McDevitt talking in the third person.

Never realised Ken's voice was so similar to that of Mr Gilbert from the Inbetweeners.

Hillary Clinton getting an easy ride from Second Captains.

No surprise there.

People go on about Clinton getting an easy ride. It's because she's up against Donald bloody Trump. Do you want people to ignore him completely? He's a farce of a man...

You're correct, no surprise at all. I personally don't know anyone who'd side with Trump over Clinton.

Exactly - Hilary Clinton certainly isn't everyone's cup of tea but Trump is, to paraphrase a great man, literally a human paraquat

No great candidate but one is a lunatic so theres that I suppose.

Ken analysing Trump was an opportunity too good to pass up.

Yep, decent analysis of the third debate at the end of the football show... Unless you're obsessed by "political correctness" etc.

sigmundv · 22-10-2016 04:21AM

Decent is a word I suppose, but I didn't appreciate that part of the show, because they spent too much time on it.

Does anyone know the Bowie song they used in one of the last football podcasts?
