It would be in any other country anyway.
I agree. RTE should show no Irish clubs because none of them represent the whole country. International and foreign sport is all we want.Quote:

(and attack the post not the poster must be the internet equivalent of "I didnt interupt you now dont interupt me!)
I could probably cite a few counter examples.Quote:

so please think before you try to respond with smart arse remarks.
Fair enough, one of my pet hates is people who drive to work giving out about the number of children in cars as if some people are more entitled to speedy travel than others.Quote:

Cars could get through in one go. I don't think that's a class issue though, most people with a car will choose whichever's more convenient at the time.
Who cares what class the sport is? I'd expect any Irish pub to show any of the provinces playing a European rugby game prior to an English Premiership game - proper order.Quote:

Don't care what the opubs show, but I'd have watched the rugby
the pub will do whatever creates the most business and profit.Quote:

God, there’s a lot of touchy people on this about SUVs (possibly a lot of touchy people preparing to go home in their SUVs). I think the comment is a fair one though, and noticed it the last time I was over. It’s not about the driving the kids to school but city dwellers driving huge fcuk-off land rovers that have never even seen mud. Over here we call them Fulham Farmers. The city’s too small, get a fcuking fiesta.
And then they give out when the child is over weight :rolleyes:Quote:
