@AnalystGAA Donegalโs kickout has been a major weakness in big games this year - dominated by Dublin and Kerry (before the red card) in the championship. Huge disappointment. To compete for the AI title you need 90-100% on your own kickout. Plenty of time to fix it now for next year
@JohnyHelzapopin@michaelhills8 City were formed out of a Protestant church but Manchester never had the same sectarian dynamics as other cities, both Manchester clubs had large numbers of Irish / Catholic / Irish-descended supporters. Notably including Johnny Marr, Gallagher brothers etc
@ClockEndd6@CFCYaKnow@Block25AA@DKM44_@cmizzy1 2nd again you fucking loser, what did your pal Caleb reckon to that result today or was he too scared of being chased out by his own fans to come?
It felt like all of Sarajevo was out in the early hours of the morning. A line of traffic as far as the eye could see stretched down Titova street.
Flags were draped on bonnets, horns were honked, and the songs of Dino Merlin, Enes Begovic and Halid Beslic were sung.
Twelve years after the first and only time Bosnia and Herzegovina qualified for the World Cup, they still partied like it had never happened before.

@celticfcfinance@AndrewH_CelticU Yeah, think it goes back to my response regarding individuals choosing different elements from different concepts which they feel help to answer the questions of the world. I, personally, donโt think we should be beholden to papal doctrine from years gone by in the world of 2026
@celticfcfinance@AndrewH_CelticU It is what has happened in these movements in practice (in Ireland and elsewhere). The road from religious observance to cultural Catholicism to fusion of that teaching with those of socialist / communist thinkers is a well trodden path. Agree to disagree I guess, cheers again ๐
@celticfcfinance@AndrewH_CelticU For e.g., I would imagine that most culturally Catholic people reject previous papal doctrine regarding abortion now in 2026. Is that anti Catholic? Is embracing left wing politics which best puts Catholic teaching into action anti Catholic?
@celticfcfinance@AndrewH_CelticU How do you square those who feel that Catholic teaching pushes them towards left-wing politics then (or donโt you?)? People are regularly able to pick and choose the elements of different (even opposed) concepts which they feel best answer questions posed by the world
@celticfcfinance@AndrewH_CelticU It depends where you believe the end of that story is, if you continue with republicanism north of the border into the Troubles then it very much was not dropped and in fact has become more influential in republican thought since then. Again, thanks for the discussion
@celticfcfinance@AndrewH_CelticU The point Iโm making is the rejection doesnโt come from Catholicism and Catholic teaching regularly pushes people left. It happens in movements around the world among people who see this teaching best put into action by this type of politics. Thanks for an interesting discussion
@celticfcfinance@AndrewH_CelticU Perhaps not, but I think if you embrace Catholicism and Irish Republicanism, and indeed intersections with Irish national identity etc then you have to acknowledge the embrace of socialist politics within these movements in Ireland (which there undoubtedly is)
@celticfcfinance@AndrewH_CelticU That sounds like you mean that some strains of Marxism reject Catholicism rather than the other way around (your original assertion). If you look into how South & Central American leftist politics developed youโll find Catholic teaching often led to the embrace of socialism
