hm, I’d be more interested to know how this game came about in the first place (really)
that current Engerland team is so strong, they must have known that this was going to be a potential and highly embarrassing slaughter (I’d imagined a 6-0 or worse scoreline was on the cards) they didn’t have to take the game, all a bit suss to me
some FAI heads up to dirty tricks yet again? was Kenny dropped in it?
Grealish, Keane, Maguire… The Irish boys played well tonight. And still had Rice and Kane to call on.
Charger Salmons
Strength in depth for next year’s Euros.
Marvellous
Otis Blue
55 years of hurt.
It’s the expectation that kills you.

OK, so you’re predicting England does well next year? I better go down to Paddy Power and bet on some other teams considering all your other recent predictions old boy.
Charlie
Not a chance in hell. They’re average but we’re total poo.
No confidence in the old sod…meaning John Delaney….and they are proven right. Best of luck , lads!
Charger Salmons
The highlight of last night’s game was Kenny Cunningham just before the half-time break saying the scoreline didn’t reflect Ireland’s contribution.
They were 2-0 down at this stage and hadn’t had a shot on goal in the first half and didn’t until the 72 minute of the game.
When I messaged my pals in Blighty you could almost hear the laughter rolling across the Irish Sea.
To be fair even the lads in the studio were a bit embarrassed by this.
You’re right about Delaney though – if only all those millions wasted over the years had been ploughed into the youth of the game Ireland might now be reaping the rewards.
Instead they bumbling around with the Faroe Islands and Gibraltars of Europe.
Football is a cruel mistress as well as a beautiful game.
Otis Blue
John Boy is looking to climb aboard the Tory gravy train.
Jeez, how many more thousands of Irish people who’ve fallen on hard times is Blighty going to have to help out ?
Still, you have to wonder who he was cheering for last night.

SOQ
Pennsylvania Judge Rules Secretary Of State Had No Legal Authority To Change Ballot Identification Deadline At Short Notice
Judge Mary Leavitt ruled in favour of the Trump campaign on Thursday, and ordered that ballots must not be counted where the voters in question failed to provide the relevant identification by November 9th.
This has to do with ballots where first-time voters didn’t provide proof of identity within 6 days after the election, NOT the PA Supreme Court ruling allowing ballots to be counted if received up to 3 days after e-day but, it sets a precedent for bigger plays. I’ll not link to this story as the usual will be sniping at the sources but you can duck go yourself- it is fact.
Also, from a tech perspective, Dominion voting system is coming under increased scrutiny. A lady called Mellissa Carone who was a contractor hired to support the system in Detroit has filed an affidavit stating among other things, that because of hardware malfunctions- scanners jamming etc- it was possible to record the same batch of votes up to ten times. That is not a ‘glitch’- that is a design flaw- for which the service providers may be liable.
Then there is questions being asked about the security of the actual PC’s because most of them were running on Windows 7- described as a hacker’s wet dream- and finally, groups of volunteers are trawling through the election results to identify anomalies.
One which has been widely reported is where votes were returned the day after they were mailed which is impossible and in some cases, returned before their recorded post-date. No figures on how common these events were as yet but it is the sort of thing that should be checked after every election.
No matter how this turns out, because of the disputed nature of the result, the authorities will be forced to upgrade their IT systems and procedures before the next one.
ReproBertie
No link to your story and you missed the important bit.
“A Pennsylvania state judge ruled Thursday in favor of the Trump campaign and ordered the state not to count some mail-in ballots that were missing proof of identification and cured during an extended deadline—but the ruling will not change the vote count as it currently stands and will not impact Joe Biden’s win in the state.”
Yup never seen the Forbes story. Nobody said it would change the result but it sets a legal precedent that Pennsylvania’s Secretary of State did not have the statutory authority to override election law. Neither did Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court.
Anyways I reckon it is the IT systems which are going to do most harm.
Yeah, all their claims have proven to be lies, exagerrations, fabrications and distortions. This is sure to do it.
Junkface
Yep. It’s looking like almost all of the voter fraud allegations were debunked as reported yesterday. Who would’ve guessed that Trump would make this stuff up? He only said he would do exactly this about 2 months ago. And the selection of big numbers getting thrown around, we have : 60,000, 100,000, 2.7 million. Trumps next number will be bigly, maybe 7 million votes? Who knows what he will pull from his a-hole next?

Good piece by Colm Keena on Woulfe saga that I missed on Tuesday.
‘Impeaching a judge was for serious matters such as being caught fixing a case, or taking a bribe, which had not happened in this instance.
‘The so-called Golfgate saga involved an error of judgment, and “judges make errors all the time. That’s why we have a Court of Appeal”.’
Even Tucker Carlson’s dead voter claims are falling apart. For the reality challenged, reality sure does bite.
In other Trumpland news, his ‘supporters’ are now receiving ‘Final Demands’ for donations as the great grift continues.
