Pet Peeves

[Emphyrio]

The sad decline of the quality of commentary and punditry on RTÉ for the soccer. Peter Collins sitting in Bill O'Herlihy's chair is just depressing. Darragh Maloney and whatever spoofer they have doing co-commentary tonight, absolute pish and bollocks.

Punditry especially has really deteriorated in recent years. It's all so inoffensive and most are afraid to say Boo for fear of getting the axe. Thank fuck for the likes of Keane and Souness who don't give a fuck. Remember recently Souness complimented a match as being a proper men's game cos of the unusual physicality and there was uproar about him being sexist. He refused to apologise anyway, so fair play.

He's always been terrible. Even when he was doing RTE's F1 coverage back in the day, he made some of the greatest races sound like an average early 2010's Spanish Grand Prix snoozefest. And as for his MNS stuff...

[Eoin McLove]

Remember when he used to show up on The Beat Box in a denim jacket. You're fooling nobody, ye square!

Safe and vanilla is the order of the day. Dunphy, Giles and Brady would frequently disagree and bicker with each other, giving honest opinions ostentatiously, despite Bill's 'woah woah, you can't say that lads'. Did they talk shite now and again? Too right, but at least it was honest and forthright shite. It was brilliant to watch.

I think Sky Sports learned something from that format, even if it is a 'lite' version with Keane/Richards, Souness, Neviller/Carragher. Granted, the cunts sacked Le Tissier for refusing to wear a BLM badge so fuck them.

Same with Hook and Pope for the rugby. Off the Ball is the only place to get a bit of decent punditry on Irish sport, even taking Alan 'huuuuuuge' Quinlan into consideration.

Now it's all interchangeable slim fit suits pointing out the obvious, nodding and saying 'absolutely' the whole time. Fuck off to Gary Linekers yoke on BBC if ye want that shit.

[astfgyl]

Yeah it's very match of the day the way it's gone

[Trev]

Keane, Souness, Carragher, Neville... the lot are all utter shite. I literally only watch the actual matches now, switch off for halftime and full time

Yet they still keep that bland Redknapp fucker. You could have some player pull a Last Boy Scout, shoot half the other team dead, and Redknapp'll be "Oh, I think he'll be a little disappointed with himself there."

[John Kimble]

Fuckin' flies. Everywhere. I actually like warm weather in general, I'm not one of these miserable fuckers that looks forward to the impending early evenings and drop in temperature. Could be that I'm living coastal but not sure if that's necessarily a factor. Just put my nice beer down for two seconds and I've swallowed a fly. The cunts are everywhere. I thought they would have fucked off for another year but no. Fuckin' livid.

I don't know if this happens in other places, but wasps are a plague in Munich/Nuremberg whenever I've been there in summer. All over the grub and they climb into beer glasses, drowning themselves, just pure scalding every fucker in a biergarten or a terrace. You'd nearly throw away the scoop in disgust. Aggressive boys as well, very hard to scare off.

Someone told me you're not allowed to kill them on purpose. I though it was bullshit but true shtory, apparently.

[Ollkiller]

Aye the wasps in Germany are fucking outrageous.

[Ollkiller]

Chinese people at tills. What in the name of fuck is going on. They all wait until all the items are scanned, then pay and ONLY then do they start to pack said items. Are they all afraid theres not enough money in their bank so wait until its confirmed. Fucking pack your shit ta fuck lads.

[Thorn]

Still, a great bunch of lads all the same

THORN- NOT A RACIST

[Ducky]

Not bothering with grabbing a beer at the supermarket as there's two cans in the back of the fridge for God knows how long, take the cans out only to realise they're 0% 

[astfgyl]

I don't really know any Chinese lads. I suppose they're much like everyone else in that some of them are the finest and some of them are shite and more of them are a combination of both.

I wonder if the reason I never got to know any of them is because they won't talk to me because they are racist? It must be that because I can't think of any other possibility and it is the easiest way to resolve everything in my own mind.
