Germany and Adidas admit they kinda goofed when designing the number fonts for their new kit...  :laugh:


Aul lad mocking Irish Lives Matters heads as one of them (Fergus Power I think) is arrested. His glee is fair contagious!

There's another video of him harassing the young workers in the shop. Beacaue you know, the workers don't look Irish. At least they have a job.

I laughed all the way through this sorry tale of what happened when everyone tried to pander to the inclusivity brigade in that school. Seems like the obvious logical conclusion really but this particular example is really something else. Also that diversity equity inclusion thing, while seemingly nice on the face of it is the most racist thing since segregation. Fuckin hilarious

That is one hell of a car crash.


Poor Paul Connolly from newstalk seems to be in spot of bother after he dropped his phone at the Coolock says no protest yesterday. Some interesting videos and screenshots of texts circulating from his phone.

Saw that there last night. The plot thickens for anyone thick enough not to have already figured it out. Saying all that though, I'm sure enough that someone will come out and say it's not real or that it's meaningless and he's only freelance rather than an actual employee etc

Ties in nicely with the Virgin Media news lads giving the boys their lift back into town.

Making the news as well as reporting. No bias in our Media  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:

On the surface this doesn't feel like the smoking gun these lads are making it out to be, especially since in that second tweet it's clear Connolly was also in contact with "the far right" and had had meet ups with them also (plus suggesting further future ones). I think someone making a documentary has a lot of room for deniability (honest or dishonest) of involvement in the activities they were present for, so even if he was helping them organize (which I guess is the charge) rather than just present, it's going to be very difficult to prove it was the former rather than the latter. Maybe I'm missing something more directly incriminating of Connolly actually organizing rather than tagging along Louis Theroux style, if so ye can share. And are they sure it's his phone? I wonder who was filming then? Though maybe that has no importance.

He is doing a documentary and interviewed some people already from the so called 'far right' because he said he wanted to show the entire story of what is going.

I don't know what part of his documentary would involve him showing up masked at a Coolock says no protest with an Irish flag that has refugees welcome on it. No matter what way you spin it this was clearly an attempt to agitate people and get them to act out then the media can yet again portray them and anyone who goes against the narrative in a bad light.

Then on top of that this was done by a MSM journalist. I highly doubt this was a solo mission or side project of his many more from the media had to have been involved.

As for it being his phone it has been 24 hours since this broke he hasn't made any comments on it and anyone who has tried to get in contact with him can't get through to his phone.

Cool, cheers for the added info.

It still looks to me like any of the things he's being accused of, given the evidence, would be easy for any documentarian to explain away. Could be proven wrong on that though!

That's the bit that doesn't make sense. They have a powered on, unlocked iPhone in those videos. Messages and calls would still come through so it should be the easiest thing in the world to verify that it's his. Surely they didn't let the battery die given they're so worked up over it.

I don't think it's his phone. If it was his, then why were there voice messages from him on it?

It's the phone of whoever was taking the video more likely.

Anyway, unless he was doing some sort of exposé on the Irish extreme left and their underhand tactics, he has been caught rotten. I think we all know what the chances are of that being what he was doing...

And still something doesn't sit right with me over the convenience of all this.. can't put my finger on it but my gut is saying something is up with how they got that phone unlocked and the names in it. It's just too lucky or something. We'll see anyway
