This wouldn't happen If we took More Ownership. We could fully fund the rugby forum and stop paying 350 million a week to boards.ie.

Anyone else getting that database issue last night? That’s been happening on and off all week. Be a pain in the hole if it’s doing that tonight during the game.

Anybody use kodi? Recommend any add ons?

I'm guessing that the kind of add-ons you'd be interested in are the kind of ones that we're not allowed to talk about here so the anything I say in the rest of the post will just be generic kodi talk and definitely noting to do with the kind of add ons that we can't talk about

Kodi was the way to go for a long time but an increase in the number of option, particularly on mobile, have led to somewhat of an exodus away from it. This was not helped by the fact that a number of high profile prosecutions of developers of add-ons however there is somewhat of a covenant between developers and users that when one gets shut down another one will spring up. There's plenty of info out there you just need a yoda style person to help you find it on Google

The charter is clear that there should be no politics talk.

The charter can only be changed by a boards rugby consitutional referendum and that constitutional referendum can only be called by the father of the house, jacothelad. However unfortunately as political talk is banned, it would be against the rules for him to call such a referendum. As such, the charter will remain unchanged.

How can we even trust the charter when it was put together by a bunch of shady, un-elected bureaucrats mods, I reckon we should take back our sovereign rugby sub forum, write our own charter and format a thick border around it.

We should have a posters vote on it, a vote to take more ownership of boards rugby. If YOU want more ownership then support a posters vote for our MORE OWNERSHIP movement or MORON for short!

The Alexa remote is handy for that, but again, having to speak to search is brutal

I don't mind having to speak as I've gotten used to it when driving. But sometimes I'm at a point where I need to type something, I go to speak, and it searches a completely different section rather than inputting the typing field I have in focus.

The UI is shockingly bad. I already had a chromecast but needed a second one so opted for a firestick. I can't believe you can't do basic casting to a TV out of the box on a firestick. Have to sideload some app to get it working. I have plex already set up. I'll check out ace stream. Not familiar with that.

Not impressed at all with the firestick so far. Having to type with that remote is awful. Far better to do everything with your phone and cast to a screen.

Don't like the Firestick for that, the remoting of apps is a pain in the ass. Got my parents one and don't like the UI at all. Works for what they need it for as they only use one app.

Absolutely hate it. Every time I've given it a spin, I've been reminded of how 1990's the UI is. Stupidly slow, clunky and error-prone.

Get plex and ace stream. Never look back.

On a seperate topic, is there any merit to the FAI burning everything down and trying to rebuild along the lines of the IRFU?

Won't happen. Too many people within the organisations pockets being lined. And in terms of unification between the FAI and the IFA, they're too long established for it to work. The first step would be an All Ireland league though, which really should have happened a long time ago.

I thought the whole point of this thread WAS to discuss things like politics.

Politics has been banned for a long time but I think there was a general trend that non Irish politics were external enough to be ok hence the occasional conversations around UK and US politics.

A middle ground contained in a separate thread seems harmless enough to me if there was scope for it. There are political tectonic plates moving in the US and UK at the moment and there has often been interesting discussions and perspectives within this specific forum.

I appreciate that AH or political forums exist but those places are daft.

Thread continued from here

The usual rules apply. Non-rugby talk here. Consider this a social place, but like a pub, things like religion and politics can be divisive, so don't say things here you wouldn't say to someone's face in the pub. Sober

It's against the charter

Fair enough, should probably clarify it in the opening post though because post #1 suggests that we should just be careful around politics and religion.

On a seperate topic, is there any merit to the FAI burning everything down and trying to rebuild along the lines of the IRFU?

Just out of curiosity, why?

really? I don't get to see pitch from y bar and rely on hearing crowd or talking to customers and the atmosphere tonight was well below any big or somewhat big Rigby game.

Yeah in my experience the crowd were much louder for yesterday's friendly then any other rugby match I've been to at the aviva.

You seem to be at every match though so what do I know.
