Who is someone you inexplicably can't stand?

I think Katie’s great. Somebody who is famous because she is genuinely talented and ferociously hard working.

I get that the faith element might be a turn off for some people in modern, ‘progressive’ Ireland. I’m not particularly religious myself, but I admire her for standing out from the crowd of fake, vacuous non-entities that pass for celebrities these days.

She’s absolutely amazing

She is a amazing sports personality, a amazing roll model for the next generation

But I think she cannot accept her sexualities' because of her religion

I think this is the only inexplicable one I have, she’s an incredible athlete and it’s nothing to do with her religious beliefs (each to their own) but I think glenfieldman is right.

She gets interviewed by Irish media with their kids gloves on too. Hopefully she accepts herself and finds happiness.

Not arguing with you, but how could you or that other poster possibly know anything about her sexuality or whether she has accepted herself?

In terms of the media treating her with kid gloves, why shouldn’t they? She’s a national treasure, a great role model, and her private life is her own business.

I wasnt being disparaging about weather she is gay or not.
For context, my daughter is happily married to a lovely woman and me and my wife have no issue with any sexual choice
But its quite clear Katie is but I think her religion may hinder her to find true happiness

I wouldn't be a massive fan of Mickey Harte(Tyrone fella).

I do think Boxers/MMA guys can get a hard time as sort of being seen as rough from people generalising.

yes indeed they probably have to wrestle with their emotions a lot?

Wasnt he some pound shop Eddie Hobbs during the Celtic Tiger years, if it's the same guy I'm thinking of?

Open to correction, I think it's John McGuire. If it's the same person he had a show on rte just before the crash, which involved making people in their late 20s feel guilty because they were living in comfort in their parents' home.

I recall one episode, he took a pair of sisters from somewhere in D4 or D6 to some apartment complex in west Dublin where the apartments were around 300k at the time. They had no idea where they were, ran home and luckily for them didn't put a deposit down.

Davy Fitz. Nothing remotely inexplicable about that. An unmitigated toerag. I'm just trying to get the full set of Ireland's fittest family after the Cork Karen's were listed along with the big rugger lug above.

Davy is a fame junkie. He's the only intercounty manager I know of who had two tv shows airing at the same time, Ireland's Fittest Family and that other yoke where he was roaring at a few troubled young lads.

He also had that other show not too long ago with the blind young lad, allowing cameras into the Wexford camp, around the same time he appeared on Living with Lucy, where again he allowed a tv crew around the camp.

Other county teams aren't allowed to train on the same night as the hurlers at the Centre of Excellence if Davy says so, yet tv cameras are allowed in if he has a tv show to produce. When Wexford got to their first Leinster final under him, he had strict time-limits on reporters for the designated media night, and basically bullied me to finish my interview with one of the players abruptly when it ran slightly behind time, through no fault of my own. The little bollix was roaring at the player from behind me to hurry up when I was mid-question.

No other county manager has such a profile in the media. I have never even seen John Kiely speak aside from match-days, or feature on anything non-GAA related, unless Limerick have won the AI. Same goes for every other manager who have actually won All-Ireland's with his side. I dare say there is a large amount of people who only know Davy as a 'tv personality'.

He has also spent the last two days taking part in Wexford's Fittest Schools, an off-shoot of the TV show. Well I say taking part, roaring at the competitors in front of the camera more like. This despite having an important league game against KK today, and in the aftermath of the Covid controversy.

He has done a good job at Wexford on the whole, but he is a grade-A tosser.

Anyone that runs into money issues, they go on reality TV.

Its works well for the two of them, Arlene gets the sympathy and the doctor gets the publicity,
