You throw around woke and snowflake and then post stuff like this. Pick one.
Rinse and repeat your probably the oldest person on this site you would have to admit it's largely overblown there's been famine and disear since the dawn of time there's climate change ......but there's always been climate change. In either 85 or 86 there was no crop of silage cut or any bit of fodder saved before the first week of july ........I remember it making old looking men of the farmers with worry and stress
86 I'm sure, the silage fields were blackened
Is that you Donald or is it Danny? 😄
My young lad won 4 County finals last year. 2 with the cumann na bunscol in school and 2 with the club. He couldn't believe it when I told him to enjoy them as I'd played or been on the panel in 5 county finals across age groups etc and never won one.... I missed a goal in our cumann na bunscol final 25 yrs ago and I still have flashbacks 🤣. Can't stand going to the pitch it was held in even still 🤣🤣🤣
It's both or none or whatever suits . But in all fairness I'm not telling anything untrue I'm also not trying to be uncaring or anything. The problem with all these discussions and programs is the complete polarisation of the debate to the point where there's no debate only a row or one point being shoved down another's throat. There's huge issues in the world but the rte program is a hatchet job. Also the very people writing there hands are going to personally do diddly squat about it.
Now that is proper untreated physiological scaring. 🤣🤣🤣.I totally agree with you I cannot even drive past a few of the places we lost ou without thinking back.
I wouldn't consider it being overblown, diff in opinion tho, I'd be science based & i find it hard to get away from hard facts then
I agree with you that there is only ever one side shown or else a topic is not debated or referred to at all.
Indeed you are great thanks for providing me with the best example possible talk down to those who you Don't agree with ........you haven't even read my posts digested them and realised I've not said one thing that's untrue tell me what exactly the general public Is doing to combat climate change what real and tangible hardship are they are willing to undertake....... . I can answer it for you already by the way apart From enforced taxation thery are not and will not do diddly squat about it
I had 80 acres wheat destroyed in 1985 but I thank God these mornings that I've little to do with farming.
I've had phonecalls lately about one of my tenants from people wanting to rent my land, bad news travels very quick, land is worth a lot of money now. 450 for middling land now
He hasn't missed a payment yet so I wont be throwing him out , Farmers are as bad as any Larry Goodman, like vultures hovering
Absolutely farmers are there own worst enemy greed and jealousy are two very powerful things
Problem is that the more farming becomes intensive/industrial and stresses soil, water and the general environment, the more vulnerable it is to severe climate events from whatever source - same system is leading to mass and unsustainable food waste as reported widely today
Notable that this issue alone is responsible for multiple emissions more than aviation and a key driver of habitat destruction around the world
Silage has gone to July a few times around here since 86. 98 and 2002 iirc, might have been another in 2008?
Back up a wee bit, I never provided any example about what the general public are doing, you initially stated that the climate change programme that was on was largely overblown
I disagreed & simply stated that the scientific evidence that's there now shows how fast we are increasing it
It's a separate debate about what we are to do about it
Why would you be broadcasting that above snippet, you might aswell of took a ad out in the journal with the above putting that rumour on here
Worst I saw a kid being treated was a couple of years ago. He had been goalkeeper for his team for years and was good enough. Always played. Turned up for a semi final and they'd brought a lad 2 years below who doesn't even play in nets for gaelic in in his place. First he knew of it was when jerseys where being handed out. They were hammered. Him or his family have never set foot in the club since. Awful way to treat a child, the parents of the other child were worse for letting him play
Ya those were rough years we were lucky enough to pick up up first cuts In Early June as far as I remember
That's shocking 😲
No that's not what you did
To ramp up the interest minus auctioneer fees, clever man wrangler..
We do know there is more rain here now, esp inthe SW. This is because the sea is warmer, thus the air is warmer and can hold more moisture. Yes, I vividly remember 86, trying to salvage silage and hay. But scientific fact shows, we're generally having higher rainfall.
Morbid curiosity now is it the construction man/high flying dairy farmers leasing from him, that are supposedly in trouble...
They where Teflon farmers with all his ramblings about them down through the years how great they are/where
No offense ment....just lightining the mood
"5 county finals and never won one" - poor Ger Loughnane was involved in 13 Munster Finals up to '95 as both a mentor and player and lost all of them.
Re coaching youngsters: there’s a fella on Twitter who I think is very good. ShaneSmith197 is his name. I can’t post the direct link for some reason.
He’s all about keeping them involved and moving away from the “match at the end of training”. That’s a particular bugbear of mine - the same few big lads dominate (and develop bad habits) and the young/smaller lads only get to stand around watching them
i did a very good coaching course with Kildare GAA last weekend in the home club (I dont coach but attended as was open to all in the club). All about bringing kids along and keeping them interested as they go up the age groups etc. The standard of coaching in my club has improved immensely in one generation. All we did at u14 was run laps and play a match. Ive never seen my young lads age group run laps but they are seriously fit. They train for an hr and a half up to 3 times per week and everything seems to be done with the ball which keeps them interested.
Sadly have that t-shirt, was captain one week and dropped the next. In between I had to stop the coach’s son bullying another player, he had a different sob story for his mother. I was minor at the time, wouldn’t give them the satisfaction of walking, played little minor but every junior and a few senior games that year.
i didnt play minor football in my final minor year as i was playing a lot of hurling and was busy etc. The club won the minor football league that year lol...
Well i'd depend on him, but I was amused at all the phone calls. He's always expanding so probably sails a bit close to the wind sometimes.
Never a problem with him here.
Theirs a couple of big operators locally who you'd think would be fairly strong financially, but all of them are put of silage two weeks plus, and basically on-off grazing/ploughing paddocks with cows stood off on cubicles for the rest of the day/night, these men are on wet ground to add context....
Cows been dried off early last backend and no income coming in has drained alot of current accounts and this spring is capping it off
