Just after walking past the Alexander Hotel in Dublin ....every news hack and truck in the counrty is parked outside turns out

Brian Cowen to make a media statement at 5pm

Is this is the END?

Fago! · 16-01-2011 05:24PM

Yay he's FINALLY going

The Waltzing Consumer · 16-01-2011 05:25PM

Doubt it. It will be a big pile of nothing I say. At most, probably him saying he will lead the party into the election and then stand aside afterwards no matter what the results.

Too much hype for nothing :mad:

Cookie_Monster · 16-01-2011 05:26PM

"I've turned a corner"

Nah, he won't be going I reckon, just the usual blah blah blah everyone still supports me, FF are more important than the country. We're staying right where we are thanks.

Sea Sharp · 16-01-2011 05:27PM

The scary thing is there's a very good chance that he'll get up there and simply reassure us all that he has no intention of resigning until the next election. :mad:

jimmynokia · 16-01-2011 05:27PM

he will try to hang in a bit longer

COWEN
YOU HAVE TO QUIT NOW THE COUNTRY IS FCUKED BECAUSE OF YOU LEAVE NOW DO US ALL A FAVOUR.:mad:

AND LENINHAN CAN GO FCUK OFF TOO AS HE WILL WANT TO MAKE MORE CUTS:mad:

Can we just hope that he'll go and take the rest of them with him?

phasers · 16-01-2011 05:33PM

"I'm goin' nowhere"

*2 fingered salute*

/press conference

Ruu_Old · 16-01-2011 05:34PM

He won't go. Blah, blah, best interests of country, blah, blah. Feckin' eejit.

snubbleste · 16-01-2011 05:34PM

It'll be a non-event.
"Ireland, let us pray and lead us out of this awful mess that the opinion polls say we're in "

DominoDub · 16-01-2011 05:35PM

I was thinking when walking past looking all the Satellite News Trucks outside the hotel , what is the point when this news will be up on Twitter etc in seconds !

Degag · 16-01-2011 05:35PM

Stayed in that hotel before... nice place.

Jesus Wept · 16-01-2011 05:35PM

Why a hotel?
Should head down for the craic, whose coming?

Latchy · 16-01-2011 05:36PM

Imagine the nightmare scenario

He turns up , look stright out at the meeja hoards then with a big hearty laugh say's

'' Ha Ha , you all thought I was going to say I was resigning ? Well I'm not , it's just another big FF joke , Ha Ha .'' grin

Nooooooooooooooooooooo :eek:

FFS man you should have jumped outta the plane months ago

Mr Trade In · 16-01-2011 05:36PM

Logical thinking on this one, if it is indeed the end the will be mulitinational crews outside now,failing that at least BBC and or SKY will be there so watch out for either one of those. Anyone who wants to be an Irish John Hinckley Jr. Now is your time to shine.

bonerm · 16-01-2011 05:37PM

Probable speech....

johngalway · 16-01-2011 05:37PM

He's going to resign as Leader of Fianna Failure, as that's what's good for the Party. What's good for the Country would be resign as Taoiseach and call an election, but he won't do that.

ilovelamp2000 · 16-01-2011 05:37PM

He's going to announce that he beat Fitzie today 3&2 in match play at the Glen

RoundyMooney · 16-01-2011 05:38PM

Let's have some Cowen Bingo!

-Moving/Going Forward

-In the best interests of the party ( as based on the old FF hierarchy: Self>party>inner circle>everyone else)

-On the best advice available to me at the time

-I did not act inappropriately

-Having consulted with my party colleagues

-The hard decisions

Feel free to add.

If there's a Q&A then he'll definitely say 'I'm sorry, I don't accept that' at some point.

jimthemental · 16-01-2011 05:40PM

He's not going anywhere, it'd take a truckload of cillit bang to shift him now.

af_thefragile · 16-01-2011 05:40PM

Someone should ask him who's paying for the hotel...

We proabably are. The tax payers own half the hotels in the country.

Resigning is not a word in my lexicon!

jimmynokia · 16-01-2011 05:42PM

POSSIBLY slur his way through the speech like he did on radio a while back, seen that he is having a lavish meal in the hotel folloed by a truck load of the black stuff
IMAGINE THAT lol:D
