Re: Fuel laundering

Is there no record kept of who buys the agricultural diesel? And if not , why not? And if for some obscure reason it's not feasible to record this then they need to get rid of this scheme altogether. Let the farmers produce receipts backed by bank statements for the last n years and add the relevan...

Why sirocco?
I know it's a wind (and a model of fan heater) but what's the relevance?

Re: Irish Provincial Teams Poor Form in Sooper Dooper Cup

Easy one Russ. We'd just do what we did in the noughties, provide the bulk of the irish side. :roll: Remember Pythagoras this is Russ you are interacting with. Normal rules are out the window. Just keep that clip from Billy Madison in mind when dealing with him. :D I had to look up Billy Madison bu...

Re: Irish Provincial Teams Poor Form in Sooper Dooper Cup

Fair enough, OAK. Well done on the financial front, better than we're doing anyway! If it's true that player power did for Anscombe then that could be about the biggest problem ye have. Not sure what you're talking about Russ (as usual). Ye've bought in as many foreign imports as anyone else I'd sa...

You sure about that?
I didn't think that any of the provinces were net contributors to the IRFU.

Re: Munster 2014-2015

Yeah, I don't know either but 90% of the criticism that Keatley gets is about his goalkicking. But you'd need to be pretty decent with the boot to get either of Sunday's kicks and that drop goal against Sale.
