@IrishRugby@MattRCNM Wonderful match at The Aviva yesterday...however spectacle diminished by constant comings and goings of people to buy alcohol despite official policy that no drink is allowed in the seated areas... clean up your act IRFU!
@Clint_Davey1 Caen was scheduled to be taken on D Day. Due to Montgomery’s indecision and caution advance units were ordered to stop short when Caen could possibly have been taken. The Germans did manage one counter attack but it petered out well short of the beaches. Opportunity missed.
@MLorrM Sick of this old stuff. We’re all still paying 1% extra on our insurance premiums to pay off debts incurred by Quinn’s reckless gambling. Bottom line is he got greedy and got cleaned out. Boo hoo.
@EK_Weightloss Jim always went for the easy targets, off duty UDR men, men farming in remote areas. Pity his luck ran out when someone in Belfast IRA HQ tipped off the SAS about his planned Loughall raid. East Tyrone wanted heavier more concentrated raids. Belfast wanted to talk to the Brits.
@NiallCollinsTD
Did you really reply “Yawn” to the Aughinish Alumina criticism?
Or was it a bot reply?
Because I can’t believe a Govt Minister would be so insensitive to the suffering of so many Ukrainians.
@adammoursy Didn’t play to the line, threw at least two passes into touch, failed to find touch from a penalty in our 22, funked running on to an overthrown lineout. Somehow, despite all this, it’s an improvement in his performance. How low we have fallen if he was our best player.
@VoicesofWW2 As Commander of British forces in Cork Percival allowed the systemic torture of captured IRA men in the Irish War of Independence. Personally shot one man in the back. Allowed burnings and lootings by the British Army in Cork. Not surprised he surrendered it’s the way bullies are
@PanzerInsight Is this correct? Tiger 213 is still in La Gleize today. The story is a local villager offered the US recovery team who came to remove it a case of Brandy to leave it behind. They accepted the offer.
@Jason_R_Burt Woodridge crashed into a truck ahead of him turning left. Inattention? Maybe, but no charges brought. Patton killed (died days later) by being thrown from back of car into the front. Other passenger survived. A great General.
