Nothing wrong in this posting I reckon. It should anger people when they read about what is going on but it doesn't does it? I mean if it did, a few of those lawyers would have been shot by now, not to mention the bishops, the Greens; the Government even! I wonder why. Well stated all.

I guess they can fuck off then. I seriously reckon that they are hell bent on losing every single seat in all tiers of government that they currently have. I can't get a bus to college. Well I can but it would actually mean three seperate buses and a return trip of 7 and a half hours. I suppose I could cycle but that would mean cycling up and over the Comeragh Mountains twice a day with an 84 mile round trip. I cannot convey into words just how much I hate the self righteous green party pricks. Gah! I'm angry now. I promised I would never let them annoy me so much ever again..

At least when Limerick played them in Dublin we scored - and it was a competitive game also. Ronaldo, who is being forced to survive on about €300,000 a week, had the living fuck kicked out of him by Rovers defenders and was hauled off at half time. "I really enjoyed my stay here this week. The people were very friendly and the scenery is beautiful. We will definitely be coming back to Norway again in the future," he told the cheering crowds after the game. And with that twinkle toes disappeared into the night, briefly pausing to take in the majestic urban sprawl of Tallaght. But at least Shamrock Rovers played the game in their own ground in front of their own fans, unlike the fucks that took Limerick's first round, first leg European Cup tie with Madrid to Lansdowne Road in 1980. Eoin Hand, who was Limerick player manager at the time was on TV last night and said he never agreed with that decision. The game should have been played in Thomond Park he said. And so say all of us. Madrid won 1-0 you’ll be eager to know. At least when Limerick played them in Dublin we scored – and it was a competitive game also.
