@conorsmurf Agree with you Conor. It’s the right way to start. I know that it’s inevitable but the day before the exams is not the time for a negative take either. The LC hype is bad enough.

@CorkGourmetGuy @TheRugbyIssue @Munsterrugby By the way, well done on highlighting the lack of accountability. It would be good to see the supporters club get on board.

@CorkGourmetGuy @TheRugbyIssue @Munsterrugby Agree with the above. Focus must stay on Flanagan any distraction will allow them to change the narrative. Full houses come with success and better rugby. Been to Muzzer for plenty of empty nights recently.

@Pat_Carty @Independent_ie @TheSundayIndo My second favourite is from Ratatouille : in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new.

[John McCarthy @allprops]

@Pat_Carty @Independent_ie @TheSundayIndo Really loved this article and agree with nearly all of it. I think the problem happens when the critic becomes more important than the art. I don’t know if it happens so much in music but it really does in politics and sport. You gave my favourite quote from the Incredibles.

Consternation at Clonmel Station in 1898 when two elderly Irish judges marooned there by railway difficulties requested a cup of tea. There were no refreshment rooms at the station, and the town itself was too far away for deliveries. Luckily, Mrs Daniel Leahy, wife of the locomotive inspector, saved the day by rustling up an enticing repast in a matter of minutes. Later, Mrs Leahy received a present...
