Hello . I am going to try to move over to blue sky. Here is my handle. bsky.app/profile/dublin…

@RassieRugby That's marginal and not material. It's like taking out a laser to make sure every lineout is straight. You only ping things that are material and give unfair advantages to attack or defense.

Deon copping a lot of flack for this yellow card, to be honest I also thought the Blue 16 detached and maul over, we just have to work harder and make sure we understand the rules correctly! Very costly 🟨 ! We deserve all the criticism!! Sorry 🇿🇦 💔

@RassieRugby Fickou was offside but in terms of materiality you were shaping for a box kick and got one so not a material offense.

This so clever by Fickou, the way he moves and presents himself on our side of the ruck has no influence on our speed of the ball from the ruck !! We can certainly learn from this !! Sorry 🇿🇦💔

@Smallclone_ You have to be on your feet when you make contact and make your bind, which he is when he makes contact. You also can't seal the ball off or stop someone from counter rucking. After that it can get a bit subjective as it comes down to materiality.

👍

@micklacy If the coaching is that bad, people should always walk away. Sport is meant to be a fun way to have exercise, express yourself and make friends for 99.99 percent of us and way to pay the bills for a tiny minority.

Some of the coaches involved in ‘elite sports’ have zero interest in the mental well-being of young players. I’ve witnessed players who have been bullied and demeaned by the coach, but they continue to go because there’s a fear that they’ll miss out on future opportunities.

@EwanMacKenna This is like saying, why does anyone try not to sneeze on top of people? Instead, everyone should sneeze all over each other and we'll all get more immunity and used to each other's snot and then won't waste time covering our noses or washing our hands.

Can one person, regardless of your outlook, provide just one sensible answer to this. Why would you or anyone else wear a mask, to prevent you getting what everyone is going to get in the short-to-medium term regardless of whether you wear a mask or not?

@micklacy Pep has promoted more intelligent Football: defense is based more on interceptions than physical crunch tackles and playing out from the back is better than hoofing it. This has helped improved the sport.

City fans don’t get it. Previous teams that dominated invoked a dislike or even hatred. But this City team don’t. The truth is, the rest of us don’t really dislike them like great teams of the past.

@higginsdavidw If you are going to quote minimum, quote maximum, average, mean and standard deviation. Also shared communal spaces, average distance to public transport, creches and schools.

Claim: New studio apartments in Ireland are "micro-living" or "shoe boxes" with no living space. Fact Check: False Sources: irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/4065c16c/files…

@davidmcw A two bed apartment in many European countries would have extra storage space and communal space so this isn't comparing apples with apples, David.

Worried about the structure of Irish housing market? This picture tells us a lot. Provision of one and two bed apartments way out of whack with rest of Europe and out of line with new Irish way of living. 👇

@mullingar_rfc @TullowRFC @MidlandsSport @LeinsterBranch @WHExaminer @Dermotom Fair play lads. The teams wanted to play Rugby and one of the best games of the season.

🏉 What a win and what a match and well refereed. @TullowRFC played their part in this epic encounter, well played and safe home but we prevail 21-20 👏👏👏👏👏 @MidlandsSport @LeinsterBranch @WHExaminer @Dermotom WELL PLAYED MULLINGAR 👏

@martinfowler Sometimes people do somethings similar and if it is small call it a facade and if it is large call it an anti corruption layer.

new post: gateway pattern: an old pattern, and the name didn't catch on - but it's a really useful one martinfowler.com/articles/gatew…

@bernardbrogan Do you have a recovery break after the 80M or after a set of them? Here's one I did. 20 * 100M. 40 sec's for each one. So you go 3/4 pace and then recover. Then 20 * 50M, 30 secs each one. Then 20 * 25M, 2 sec's each one. Always going about 3/4 and then recover.

Session done: 3 set 8 x 80m ☑️ 10 kicks each foot 21 yards out 100%☑️ Tip. Do not move further than 21 yards out until you have mastered 3 or 4 sessions at 100%. Get fundamentals right first!

@karldeeter Media is obsessed with 1st time buyer. If we built bigger houses and allowed people to trade up (because they need to or want to), it frees up houses for the 1st time buyer and also caters for a broader demographic and more stable societies.

Making new homes 50% first time buyer based on density will create a 2 tier housing society (apt=renter), but at 35pha (below the 50pha threshold) it also means the 400 home SHD in the ministers own back yard will be impacted - keeping those pesky renters out. Cheer if you like+

@laoneill111 People over the age of 70 are more likely to have underlying conditions so that needs to be factored so we can see by how much age is the biggest predictor. Furthermore, older people are naturally more likely to die anyway. Not sure how you factor that part.

@susie_dent Great word but is it ever used? Who made it up and decided it was a word.

Word of the Day (on repeat) is 'ipsedixitism': the dogmatic assertion that something is 'fact' without any proof to back it up, or because someone, somewhere said it.

@bernardbrogan CJ is a bit one dimensional. Doesn't have footwork or a good set of hands and does the same thing every time he gets the ball. Here's one for you, name a 15 Rugby players you'd think would be good Gaelic Football players?

@bernardbrogan I can't see CJ Stander making the Lions. Healy past his best also unlikely. Furlong will be there.

My shout for Irish Lions- Healy Henderson Ryan Beirne Stander Sexton Henshaw Keenan (wildcard) Thoughts?

New DJ mix I put together from some of the best tunes I heard in #lockdown and the odd old one to blend it all #staysafe soundcloud.com/alex-staveley/…
