Who is someone you inexplicably can't stand?

Damien Duff. He's a negative cynical, demeanour about him, like an oul fella 80 rather than a 41 year old. Know it all. Big chip on his shoulder about GAA even though he benefitted from playing there when they opened Croke Park. I used like him. I know it's all very 'explicaple' but you don't 'inexplicably' dislike anyone. There's always some reason, even if it's gut feeling.

I find Duff a total moan. I like Sadlier etc.

When he was on the coaching team of Shamrock Rovers my son was mascot for the other team. We were allowed into the dressing rooms and he built up the courage to ask him for a photo. Damien duff barely grunted and head of him in the picture. He sat for the match like a teenager that didn't wanna be there.
So yes can agree why to dislike someone.

A soul leech. Sucks the life out of me when he's on TV. Remember the tennis ball protest during the Irish game a couple of years ago. He gave out stink about the fans then.

RTE's main entertainment page 'tried' to do the 'ah she was misinformed, the poor pet-bless her'... then very quickly edited the article to show they were in no way supporting her. From the first posting to the edit, didn't take them an hour.

Even RTE's current 'woke' editorial knew not to wade into that cesspit.

Also, setting her followers on a reporter, whilst pushing this 'be kind' narrative... it shows you what a reprehensible, disgusting shell of a human she truly is.

Probably one of her dose arse lick friends wrote it for her after a lie filled poor me text from her.

Duff had his tongue very much embedded in John Delaney's rectum. Wouldn't hear a bad thing said against him.
Richie Sadler was the exact opposite.

And the thing about Duff was, he played fine when he was with Ireland (tho he had only one stellar year, the rest were average).
His club games tho... he was no standout.

He had a bad run of injuries, knee was fûcked and I think a foot issue too... Mourinho and him didn’t see eye to eye almost from the get go.

Ended up at Newcastle which was a massive step down from a team challenging and winning the Premier League to a team struggling to stay in the league.

A lot of soccer and Rugby people have always had am issue with the GAA but were perfectly happy to use Croke Park. They were also perfectly happen to have GAA stadiums in their bid for the Rugby World Cup as well.

Few things more tedious than a bitter League of Ireland ‘football man’ shítting on about the GAA and bog ball. Really puts off the more casual sports fan from getting interested in their local club.

I'm sure the GAA were happy to have them included as well.

Or the Gah as they call it.

Although I see less of them calling it the Grab All Association now since Delaney left town.

Croke Park were happy for them to use it. It was a business transaction that benefitted both parties ..It provided a welcome revenue stream for the gaa and was good PR....which they needed.

“Any member of the Association who plays or encourages in any way rugby, football, hockey or any imported game which is calculated to injuriously affect our National Pastimes, is suspended from the Association.” That was the original rule.

Back in the day, the gaa even sent spotters to soccer and rugby matches, to try and see any of their own gang in attendance... mad, North Korea shît.

I don’t find duff as a brilliant pundit but he’d be spot on there... great 100% player too.

He went on a rant about the Liam Miller, RIP, testimonial, as if the GAA were obliged to open Pairc Uí Chaoimh without any consultation.

The ban is not that simple and it's disingenuous to imply that. The GAA was part of the Gaelic revival, formed in 1884 and nationalist in sympathy, with many IRB members etc. The ban was a protective measure against spies etc. The Northern situation resulted in it lasting so long.

Himself and Kenny went to print on that event, excoriating the Gaa for something they had nothing to do with.

Despicable behaviour from himself and Kenny.

Jennifer O’Connell, who writes for the Irish Times.

I know nothing about her and never read her articles. I find her inordinately high forehead very off putting.

Then I scroll down and see Una Mulally’s bulldog chewing on a nettle visage, which prompts an involuntary shudder and a rapid click to more entertaining news outlets.

Yes, I’d agree on Una Mullally.

I remember she herself used to post on the hotpress message board back about however many years ago... hyper opinionated, and not at all tolerant of opinions that were not in keeping with hers. Not very open minded or willing to show understanding or empathy with differing viewpoints , she was woke before that term existed too.

Hangdogroad · 06-05-2021 7:08am

Una Mullalys Irish Times bio picture makes her look like a cross between Myra Hindley and Squeaky Fromme.

Haha I had some very similar thoughts on her too earlier in the thread!

Yeah I’ll be honest I was delighted when she moved from Nova - had singlehandedly ruined the morning slot for years. I’m a tad bewildered as to how they got the gig on Classic Hits (a bigger station) when I’ve never heard anyone say a single positive thing about that show

John Oliver. Classic smuggy, highbrow little weasel. Same thing every time - Look at how stupid this person is, act shocked and confused (despite it all being pre-scripted), mock that person, repeat. The giddiness he gets from feeling superior to others is pretty sickening.

And notice everything he's campaigned for (chicken f**kers, Vote Hillary, etc etc) has failed?

Literally, his 'batting average' is atrocious.

I'd imagine his dream is to play Jim Larkin in some biopic. Has an disingenuousness about him and got a creepy vibe off him in a Leeson st nightclub

Likes to act out a world wary stoic persona that alludes to a mysteriousness that isn't there.

I get that same vibe off of him.
