    Would love Casey to tell Tubs to go fcuk himself and walk off

    somebody tweet him this he might do it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 796 ✭✭✭Sycamore Tree


    Casey being set up for sure. I reckon Tubs will handle it like the Paul Murphy interview where he was totally out of line. Tubs is pure establishment.

    Several posts here about an ambush on Casey. That implies a lack of confidence in him to deal with challenges. And yet he wants to be Taoiseach?

    so you're saying we should have voted for Casey

    Andy Lee is a great role model for travellers. Wish there were more like him.
    No coincidence he's on tonight.

    I know, they didn't even get him on after he won his world title

    We had exactly the same 'setting up for a failure' chat from the Casey supporters before the election. All the excuses for not doing well, laid out. Same tonight. :)

    It's the fecking Late Late lads and lassies. About as important in changing anything as the presidency. You are still going to have to get off the keyboards and do something tangible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,782 ✭✭✭✭Seathrun66


    People here still excusing Casey’s performance before he’s started. If his keyboard warrior supporters don’t think he can handle the show then why should the electorate bother with him?

    If he wants to knock Tubridy out of the park, he just need to utter one sentence, "Would you be happy if your daughter came home and introduced you to her traveller boyfriend?". Goodnight Vienna.

    Classic Pavee Point response to disgraceful behaviour.
    Hope if Casey ever gets his hands on power the first thing he does is disband this organisation.
    If travellers need free advice they can go to the Citizens Advice Bureaus like the rest of us.

    it's unlikely he would have the ability or power to abolish pavee point in the unlikely event he got into power.

    Wrong. The left have made a complete balls of things.
    Why do you think Trump, Brexit and the rise of the far right in Europe has happened?
    Because the left have pushed their agendas on to people until they've said enough.
    For lovers of free speech and democracy the left are very quick to shout down anyone not in agreement with them.
    When British people had fears of immigration and the rise of Islam (which was at odds with the Christian/Church of England values of the country) they were shouted down and called racist or intolerant. Anyone with half a brain could see this would come back to bite some day.
    Merhkel thought it would be a great idea to open the borders to all and sundry. Ordinary citizens weren't happy and voiced concerns....yeah well you're racist and intolerant. Unfortunately again if you don't listen to the people then trouble will rear it's head.
    That's the problem with the left...don't listen to anyone else's concerns and then wonder why they turn on you.


    trump, brexit, and the rise of the far right are due to brainwashing. people are told what they want to here by individuals like trump, people on the far right, and some supporters of brexit. the reality is however, that none of those people give a damn, and will do nothing about actual issues, and perceived issues. both the far right and far left are equally as bad when it comes to trying to shut down people.
    people who had simple fears about immigration were not called racist. people who questioned aspects of islam were not called racist. those who spread feaar and hate, and spread ill informed and inaccurate information about muslims, islam, and other immigrants were quite rightly called out for it on the other hand.
    Merkel didn't open the borders to all and sundry. what she did was relaxed the controls on the german border in an aim to relieve the burdin of dealing with the migrant crisis, on states like italy, grece etc . sure, it wasn't the best idea and she undone it, but it was done for a genuine reason. neither the hard left or hard right listen to anyone's concerns. everything you accuse the left of, the right are just as guilty of.

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    The bolded bit really does give an insight into the psychological delusion techniques Casey supporters employ.

    Like the Brexiteers, you're the type of people who if confronted with evidence that 2+2=4, you'll double down on your insistence that it's 5.

    It's good to see you admit that, at least.

    Looking forward to Andy Lee being on - he's a great fella and always an interesting speaker. A really good representative for his sport and community.

    You’ve never given your thoughts in why Dublin is so racially segregated and the bourgeois suburbs systemically and systematically exclude traveller halting sites from their areas. You tend to ignore the question.

    been listening to andy for years on the radio
    didn't know he was a traveller, but that shouldn't matter
    cos thers only one race and thats the human race ok

    He should corner Tubridy and ask him would he like to live next door to travellers

    Tubridy would be exposed big time

    Which would expose what exactly? That Tubridy has problems with travellers but is socially responsible enough not to enflame or give credence to a campaign against them?

    Do you understand social responsibility at all?

    If your daughter came home and introduced you to her traveller boyfriend, who happened to be a perfectly decent person, would you be happy?

    What are you talking about? It's perfect rhetoric.

    If Tubridy says yes, then the 23% of people who voted for him will know he is full of crap and Casey can push that and looks better as a result.

    If Tubridy says no, then he's on Casey's side. and Casey looks better.

    It's a loaded question and I don't thing Tubridy could handle it.

    Feck off, with that nonsense. Typical, of you guys.

    Nah, He'd just say that he would be thrilled, delighted & honoured by this to cheers & applause from all the Pavees in the audience.:rolleyes:

    By their actions you shall know them. Labels are not required for anyone. Why would she not just introduce the guy as Jimmy/Tom/whatever from down the road.

    That is the Traveller mistake, they actually WANT to be labelled as "other". Well their mouthpieces do anyway. Most of them are living quiet lives away from the kind of mayhem seen on the clips posted above.

    But a heck of a lot of them are just unbelievable. Guess which cohort gets all the publicity.

    I agree, I should have said that Andy Lee is a Role model (full stop).

    Great guy.
