Love hurling, history and good debate. Keep it clean though!

Awesome respect to the Irish Soccer Squad after a significant majority voted to continue to play the match v Israel.

They stood up to the bullies who were using them to further their agenda.

Let’s get behind the boys in Green now ☘️

@RTEsport Is there any chance that Saturday sport on RTE radio would actually focus on sports coverage?

In 1895, Swithin Fleming, solicitor, of Midleton, County Cork whose eyesight was still strong at the age of 100, placed, in typical Irish legal style, a wryly humorous message in the newspaper to celebrate his centenary. Transcript of clipping below for those whose eyesight is not as good as Mr Fleming's

"AN IRISH CENTENARIAN LAWYER.

There lives in the town of Midleton, some fourteen miles from Cork, a very interesting personage Mr Swithin Fleming, solicitor, who has just reached the remarkable age of 100 years.

This veteran Irish lawyer, who has not practised at his profession for the past 25 years, enjoys excellent health and full mental vigour. He is well able to go about and take outdoor exercise, and can even write without the aid of glasses.

He is the last sur viving Proctor of the now extinct Consistorial and Probate Court, of the diocese of Cork, Cloyne, and Ross.

Aboutt his great age he sent a note a few days since to a Cork newspaper, in which he says—
“As some of my friends are inquiring when my next birthday will be, perhaps to compliment me on my exceptionally advanced age, you will kindly copy this card, which will inform them that it will be on 13th inst, on which date I shall (D V) have entered on my 100th year, and then be thirteen years senior to the G O M.”

The clipping is from the Drogheda Conservative, 17 August 1895.

Haven't been near this house for some time, and this post is entirely for self-interest: tomorrow, this goes on sale. It's a bit more than a sport story; would appreciate a share, please, there's part of my soul between those pages.

@JohnOBrennan2 It was a wonderful week there for the county and for our country.

@DavQuinn I agree, David. You need personality to succeed in American Politics.

[Jerry Linnane @JerryLinnane]

@gregallenRTE It was an honour to be there to witness a remarkable sporting achievement and it happened in my own County.

'A stain on the Irish nation was how Mrs McAleese described what she called the callous misogyny of the GAA - adding that growing up she'd always felt discriminated against by the Association - excluding, as it did, the sport she'd always excelled at - the triple bandwagon jump.'

Watching Rod Hull and Emu kick seven kinds of sh*t out of McLean Stevenson (AKA Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake from M*A*S*H), is what Wednesdays are all about.

Top of the morning to you.
