Is "What's ASMR" the 20's version of "I don't know what a tracker mortgage is?"

Re: A whiff of Cordite

Geoghan was indeed a luminous, alacritous beacon of hope. Plus Geoghegan's name was difficult to spell :wink: It still is! It has about four superfluous letters. Phonetically spelling it would probably get me banned. If we are pulling posters up on misspelling names, it will be a long battle though...

He started off bound to the centre, once he was no longer bound to him he was offside and had to retreat behind the hindmost foot. He didn't, that's a penalty He switched his bind to no.6, who was the ball carrier, and who was prevented from grounding the ball by Beirne who was offside. That's a pe...

Did we really need that large and prominently placed media section? How many seats for ordinary punters does it take up?
It takes up just over 700 seats

Re: 6N Ireland Wales - Dublin 2:15pm Sat 24 Feb

Does anyone have a bead on the Championship permutations? Should we beat Wales with winning BP, and Scotland beat England and both without any kind of BP, at what stage do we become uncatchable? Could we hypothetical win in Twickenham and lose to Scotland, and have a scenario where the Scots win th...

Re: Adidas Deal 2018/2023

It's a pretty average range from Castore........god I miss Canterbury stuff and the old Leinster store in Donnybrook !! What I miss most is the 'proper' hoodies - the new ones are all made from horrible light material whereas I've always loved my heavy (weight an absolute ton when they get wet) ones

https://i.ibb.co/yF63JLb/image.png some record. Why would they use 34 games? That makes absolutely no sense unless they are trying to make the numbers look good. 34 games takes us back to the middle of the 2021 6 Nations - leaving out the first two games of that series which we lost!!!

Re: 6N: France Ireland - Marseille Fri 8pm 2 Feb 2024

Same offence twice in one half and the sentences run concurrently and they apply mitigation. World rugby's lack of seriousness on contact to the head is a ticking legal timebomb. Only a matter of time before class action suits come in and this kind of response will be hauled up of evidence that Wor...

Re: 6N: France Ireland - Marseille Fri 8pm 2 Feb 2024

Should be punished more for having two offenses in a game, it's an aggravating factor. Give him both bans and extra. Getting five cards in one match must be some sort of record 1) 1st yellow card 2) 2nd yellow card 3) Automatic Red card 4) 2nd yellow upgraded to red card 5) 1st yellow upgraded to red
