Olympics, Professionalism and Ireland. (Guest Post)
A guest post from “football cliches”. At the moment, I am what some might call ‘inbetween jobs’, others call this being unemployed but I always find work quite easily so I’m not particularly worried. I had been working by way … Continue reading
Trolls And Trolling
One of the great things about Blogging is that I get to give advice on topics about which I know nothing. So………Trolls and Trolling. Well to honest, this Blog has had absolutely no trouble with Trolls. I suppose a Message … Continue reading
Michael Conlan
Well done Michael Conlan…..who secured another bronze medal for Ireland tonight. I feel kinda relieved. The fact is that in Norn Iron there are bragging rights. The Coleraine rowers got their medals. Cue unionist and “lets get alongerist” rejoicing. And … Continue reading
“Welcome To Norn Iron”
It must be nice to live in a place where the “Welcome” signs are not controversial. The main story in today’s Irish News, the Belfast morning newspaper read by the North of Ireland’s nationalist/republican/Catholic community has been about the erection … Continue reading

Slugger Thread on Politics.ie
I am not sure how Slugger O’Toole reacts to the thread about it on its rival(?) message board “Politics.ie. On one level all publicity is good publicity. On another level it cant be a good sign when a message board becomes … Continue reading
Slugger: You Couldn’t Make It Up
I see that the Slugger thread called “Coleraine Olympic Town” or whatever has now been changed by its author……..BBC pensioner Brian Walker to “Eton Defeated by Northern Ireland Grammar School”. Walker is taking his Grammar School obsession to even greater … Continue reading
