Cheerio!

Roche gone now too. I doubt his transfers are going to get Fitzgerald over the line.

His elimination was greeted by applause at the count centre in Greystones tonight.

David Grant says Roche considering his options! Get the message Dick, you're smoke!

I can be happy now that both Roche and Behan are gone. The delusion holds no bounds though - considering his options? Hopefully one of them is emigration...

All over the radio news last night that Roche's team were keeping a close eye on the count and would be picking up on anything amiss, without actually giving a reason as to whether there actually was something they legitimately aggrieved about. Pompous mong (and why the radio stations gave continual air-time to the "complaints" is beyond me too)

The peasants can't really have given him such low votes and preferences! He also basically admitted on the News at One yesterday that his preferences wouldn't go to his running mate, whereas Pat Fitzgeralds would go to him - well fair play on the vote management dickie!

Fingers crossed now for Gormley and Ryan to go the same way.

EDIT: Oh, and Boyle. Take a hint Dan.

Agree 100% Dahamsta. But didnt the feckers only go and vote another FF idiot in "pretty boy" Troy in Wmeath/Longford, a dour, gormless ******! Jesus how embarrassing. Can I pretend I'm from Meath?:mad:

FF and anyone linked with them deserve everything they got. Labour suffered for it in '97.

I don't get the whole Labour movement who are against the coalition with Fine Gael. In the leaders debate Gilmore mentioned to Kenny about going into coalition talks. In '92 when Labour went in with FF it was a shock as people voted Labour as a move away from FF. This is completely different.

Anyone else catch the Radio Documentary following Conor Lenihan and Charlie O'Connor that was on Saturday evening? Well worth a listen, particularly in the context of this thread. I think they're podcast, and there's probably some RTE player.

I know this is a while late but, Charlie O'Connor, Darragh O'Brien, Hanafin and Coughlan were my favourites.

Though at one point I was aching to see Hanafin get in ahead of that cahnt RBB. Goddammit, I hate that guy.
