In 2010 the greed machine that is professional rugby showed its true nature when a match between Munster and Leinster was fixed for Thomond Park on Good Friday ,which as everybody knows is the date when Jesus Christ was crucified for the salvation of humanity.
Not only was disrespectful to the children of God ,which according to the last census 84 per cent of the population claim to be,to have such a match on this Holy Day ,but Good Friday is one of only two days out of the 365 days of the year when pubs are bound to close for the best part of a century.
The greed machine and its vociferous proponents adored their Mamon and insisted that the game go ahead and mounted a campaign to have the drinking laws suspended in Limerick so that the stuck up nobs that follow the game could sate their thirst that most Holy of days and to their eternal shame the ASSOCIATION that represents the publicans backed them to the hilt in pursuit of greedy profits.And a judge stretched credulity to the limit when he allowed the opening of the pubs for health and safety reasons,thus conjuring up the vision of a rampaging mob of rugby supporters breaking down the doors of the pubs in limerick IN HOT PURSUIT OF AN ALCOHOL FIX which may be accurate
And then we had the Rugby supporters of Munster waving flags and sporting jerseys that Rugby was more popular than Catholicism and denigrating the Mass.
And the mass hysteria that infests both the written and electronic medias sucked up to the professional rugby game and its proponents as though it was a divine gift and as though its over paid players and mostly Australian and New Zealand coaches were minor Gods themselves.
This coalition of the greedy and delusional talked up Irish Rugby as though they were confirmed world beaters and all they had to do was show up and claim their rightful place as the World's chosen.
Except they did what a bad horse does when the load is heavy-----it shits on the traces.
And Irish rugby did shit on the traces and not very graciously either.
I heard a guy called Trevor something sneering at Gaelic Football when he likened the hasty retreat of a rugby referee after some match to what happens in the GAA world and I heard another Star ,a Cork guy with a smart mouth and a similar contempt for the GAA ,sneering at the Junior grade of football in GAA competition,a grade in which I would bet he would not last pissing time.
And there was a guy called Shane who played minor football for Meath in his day on the panel where the latter sneer was made and he made no attempt to correct his rugby buddy.
We know now that these guys are just mouths without anything to back themselves up and we also know that the sneers who belittled God and his flock in Munster very much barked up the wrong tree.
The way Munster are playing now Dunderry Junior C team would give them a good run for their money and no amount of talking can change that.
These guys just don't get it .They have denigrated God ,the National Anthem and are doing their best to rugbify the national schools in strong GAA areas to put backbone into a sport that is short of it.
And if the GAA leaders don't wise up to this these greedy schemers will succeed.
God however just waited in the long grass and it is only a matter of time until the greed for handy money pollutes Rugby in the same way that it has besmirched Soccer,Athletics and cycling to name but a few.

The only good injun is a dead one.
Do you remember those old cowboy movies that glorified the massacre of the native red injuns of the USA by the the Blue Coats when scalps were paid for irrespective of whether they were from murdered men ,women or children.Yep they were treated like vermin and massacred to the point of extinction.Not all that long ago relatively speaking.
Now while the targeting of the civilians by ISIS in PARIS is reprehensible it is worth noting that at least two hundred civilians a day are killed in SYRIA according to a recently released hostage held by ISIL --A FRENCHMAN I heard interviewed on France 24 or Euro news last night.
We have all the World's Superpowers Carpet bombing Syria and Iraq ad lib and killing God only knows how many men,women and children and fighting to be first in the queue "understandably"for revenge.
Seems to me that the so called civilised Western World has reached the same conclusion that the USA authorities reached about the Red Indians over a century ago and that the only good member of ISIL Is a dead one.
I thought that when a black man assumed leadership of the world,given the persecution that blacks suffered historically, that a more peaceful one would result.
Hasn't happened.
Does the civilised Western world want to exterminate an entire race of people men,women and children.
WITH THE SHOOTING DOWN TONIGHT OF a Russian plane by a Turkish SHELL the anti ISIL Coalition are starting to shoot down each other.
ALL we want now is for China to test out its weapons there also.
Sure maybe an atomic bomb is the answer.
Just blow the entire place to Kingdom come and be done with it.
Yep the War to end wars ended in 1918 Sir.

Bucklepping
We own a few cattle,calves,cows and one only bull.They have a goodish life.And they have a way of letting you know what's on their mind.
Its been good year so far for cattle until two weeks ago.The grass was growing well into November and the weather was clement and the rainfall was scarce.
Plenty of grass to ate and happy cattle.
Then the rain came and boy did it rain.The Clady runs through our land and it was swollen to the top of its 20 feet depth.And then some.A fair bit of the land was waterlogged and the grazing thus restricted.But the cattle had free access to a shed full of good barley straw and they sated themselves on the grass and the straw as they desired.
And then a touch of frost,
The cattle know where the hay is stored and of a sudden they congregated at the gate outside the hay shed looking mournfully over the gate at the hay.
I got the message and brought three bales of sweet hay from the hay shed to the field where they are foddered for the time being.
They followed the tractor single file until we reached the field and then still single file they danced past the tractor in delight bucklepping as they passed by and kicking their heels into the air with delight.Bit like the bull with rider on board as he is released from the schute in the Rodeo movies if you can visualise that.
Filled my heart with wonder.
Cattle definitely feel delight and don't let anyone tell you different.

Chilling TIMES
After watching TV this evening a chill ran down my spine.
The rhetoric of WAR is all over the place and Truth is the first casualty.
First we had Vincent Brown trying to blame religion on the situation.Even someone as hateful and vilely anti Catholic as he must surely have heard of the Commandment thou shall not kill.
Perhaps his hatred has so twisted him that he cannot distinguish between God and the Devil ,the latter's propensity for evil seems to be more acceptable to him.
Am I wrong in thinking that the main protagonists here are atheist and secular and anti religious as is generally understood.
Secondly we had a guest panellist of his demanding that an entire race of people.men,women and children be eliminated.Hitler is mild by comparison.
Then the PRIME minister of France ratcheted up the ante by declaring war on ISIS AND the military singing so redolent of HITLER'S STORMTROOPERS being sung with hatred.
There is no doubt but that ISIS is evil and must be defeated and as a Catholic I DESPISE ITS STATED AIM OF destroying Catholic Rome,but mass genocide is not the answer.
Of course there are many atheists within Europe who share the AIM OF DESTROYING THE VATICAN with ISIS and are only too glad to see them MURDERING CHRISTIANS,ESPECIALLY THOSE PROMULGATING THE MURDER OF THE INNOCENT UNBORN.
GOD HELP US.

A week of despair on the world stage.
Here in Dunderry I seldom travel more than five miles,so I am and have been dependent on the papers and electronic media for information.
I have gone way past believing half of what I see and nearly none of what I read because I am convinced that now ,more than any time in history ,the truth has become a poor second to lies and deceit and there is nearly no reporter nor publication that doesn't promulgate lies all the time.
My week of disgust and horror had to do with the total disregard of Sovereign States and their leaders for the sovereignty of others and the impunity with which they kill, murder and maim others ,who they regard as enemies, just because they can.
The more advanced States can target and snuff out human life from thousands of miles away in the safety of bunkered or even unbunkered environments, safe in the knowledge that they are safe from retribution.
This is because they have more advanced technology and superior fire power and weapons than their protagonists.
The less advanced States the subject of these sallies from afar have long since figured that the only, puerile by comparison .way they can strike back, is by their adherents making themselves into human suicide bombers willing to carry themselves into the midst of their protagonist,much like the Kamakazi Japanese pilots of WW2.
Honour has long since disappeared into he mists of time and the more sneaky,underhand ,cunning and ruthless and murdering you are the more heroic you are painted by your own side.
The first vile and underhand act that appalled me this week was the murder of a WOUNDED Palestinian Leader in a hospital in his own country whilst being treated there for his wounds, by an undercover Israeli murder squad some of whom dressed as women to carry out their murderous mission.
From reports it seems that the Israelis regard one Israeli life as equivalent to 10 Palestinian ones and are Hell bent on maintaining this ratio.
There is little doubt ,it seems to me, that the beasts in the field are accorded a higher ranking than Palestinians in the Israeli scheme of things and that the World at large would be more outraged if such depravities were perpetrated on animals than Palestinians.
What happened to the Jews at the hands of the Nazis was inhumane and they are not slow to bring it up when it suits and proper order.
But that does not excuse their treatment of the Palestinians NOW THAT THEY ARE IN THE SADDLE.
The second matter that appalled me was the murder of two hundred PEOPLE in Paris by suicide bombers whom ISIL claim ownership of.
I had been thinking of this situation in the Middle East for some time back.
It seems to me that this whole scenario has its genesis in the colonial past of certain European States centuries ago and the assumption of the USA of the role of world policeman in more recent decades.
As before WW2 and Pearl Harbour the USA thought it was immune from conventional attack because of the sheer distance it was from its protagonists until the atrocity of the Twin Tower outrage ,which cost the lives of thousands of Americans,
In retribution the USA struck back AND IS STILL TRIKING BACK.
Afghanistan,Iraq,Syria,Libya,Tunisia,Pakistani,Somalia and the overwhelming majority of the ARAB SPRING STATES ,which Countries secular Europeans and others tried to model on their concept of democracy, have been turned into hell on earth by constant bombing and drones by the USA, the coalition of the willing ,which included most European States and the EU and latterly by Russia.
Now my mother used talk about TOOPHS,which I understand to mean innocents abroad or amadans as gaeilge.
Barrack Obama has played a blinder in persuading the Toophs of the EU into joining the Coalition of the Willing and setting itself up for the sort of atrocity perpetrated in France yesterday.
The USA is too far away to be hit by such an atrocity but, as witnessed every day by the massive influx of displaced peoples from the HELLHOLES of the Muslim World into EVERY European Country, we are sitting ducks.
It is hard to gauge the numbers of peoples killed since the Twin Tower tragedy but the best Estimates run into millions,mostlty Muslims.
It may be that the relatives of these people will forgive and forget but I doubt it somehow.
If retribution is sought and secured by these Muslims on the same scale that was delivered unto them then the carnage has only begun.
Within Secular Europe we have a further massive problem fiacing us in the ability to defend ourselves.
Militant feminists and atheists have for decades waged a war on our viable and unprotected unborn and slaughtered them by the million if not billion since the start of the last Century, to the extent that the population of the EU is in decline and we shortly won't have the manpower to defend our aging populations.
When that day arrives the first boot/bootees we must place in the frontline are those responsible for these vile senseless and barbaric murders of the defenceless unborn.They will then find that murdering those that are old enough and motivated enough to fight back is a different kettle of fish entirely.
I look forward to Ivana and her legions of the blabbermouths talk their way out of that one.
Finally the most ridiculous proposal I have head in this centenary year of 1916 is that of some fools who put forward proposals to tackle border smuggling by ceding to England a corridor of seven miles into the Republic TO POLICE AND OTHERS OF THE CROWN TO HAVE UNLIMITED ACCESS IN HOT PURSUIT.
Why stop at 7 miles .Why not give them free access the whole way to the South coast,YEP GIVE THEM THE COUNTRY BACK ENTIRELY,.
When France is sealing its borders our TOOPHS ARE PROPOSING handing control to another foreign power.
You couldn't make it up.

Probably the best value eating house in Ireland today.
Yesterday myself and two friends attended a funeral in Carrickmacross.We came home through through Kingscourt AND DECIDED TO STOP THERE FOR A FEED.
Paudge knows his onions and shepherded us into an eating house situate where the road from Carrick joins the Main Street in Kingscourt on the right hand side as the roads adjoin.
An entrance to the cattle mart, which was in full swing, is opposite the joint.
We had four courses of soup ,meat ,spuds ,chips and veg,succulent dessert and coffee.
Enough to fill Joe Higgins in his prime,GOD REST HIS SOUL. AND FOR FIFTEEN EURO A HEAD.
Now there's value for you.
The very best of grub.

Muskaterr Carmel loses brother Benny
Today myself and fellow Muskateer Liam Dalton went to Carrickmacross to console Carmel Geraghty and attend the funeral Mass and burial of her brother Benny WOODS.Paudge Dalton accompanied us on the sorrowful journey on one of the wettest and vile days weather wise I can remember.
The ceremony was of the highest calibre and there was a large crowd from Dunderry there.
He got a fine send off.
As a matter of interest he is the third relative of our group to succumb to the blight of cancer,the others being my brother Robert and Liam's brother.
So Liam ,Carmel and myself have all lost brothers to this accursed disease.
Go deana Dia trocaire ar a Anam dilis.
To his wife, brother, sister and wider family we offer our sincerest sympathies.
He had no children.

Ray DARCY A PERFEC FIT FOR ANTI CATHOLIC RTE
Ray Darcy,aka the Gnome with the Dome is the perfec fit for RTE ,through which a rancid anti Catholic hate campaign is being promulgated.
His older colleague Olivia O leary aka the Crone with the Moan is another example of this visceral hatred.
Every chance these bitter pills get they belittle and smirk at traditional Catholic values and promote pagan and atheist values.
Their narrative runs like this.The 84 percent who described themselves as Catholic in the last census are fools incapable of marking the box correctly but the 16 per cent who didn't are pure geniuses like themselves way above the rest of us in intelligence and knowledge.
Now their unquestioning sucking up to their own kind on public radiio is sickening and actually anti democratic and it is high time that someone in RTE called these little shits in and explained to them the meaning of respect.
However I will not be holding my breath as I fear that the atheists have long since taken over RTE .
MAYBE a boycott of the LICENCE FEE WOULD be a legitimate way of protest at this vicious bias.

IABA AND CHRISTLE WIN BY TKO.
The Directors of the IABA are unpaid nor do they get expenses.
Unlike the other members of the Dail Committe who showboated their way through the farcical nonsense they promulgated on the occasion of their disgraceful performance on the T.V. lately.
And I include in this all the clowns on the Committee and all the members of the Sports Council .each and every one of whom have their snouts in the troughs of cash ,whether provided from general taxation or from the money legally skimmed from the Lotto.
But to me the most cowardly and disgusting performance of all was the green with jealousy and bitchy comments of Drimnagh boy Eamonn Coughlan on Prime time radio ,who despite serious State backing in his day and the instructions of the best foreign coaches abroad always shit on the traces when the OLYMPICS CAME AROUND.
Just like John Tracey ,another bitter pill.
As far as I know the last athletics OLYMPIC GOLD was won by Ronnie Delaney .
Now these clever dicks have had decades to pluck Gold for their own athletic cronies and have failed miserably,so no one in their right mind would let them have any say whatsoever in other sports that do the business.
By his nuanced mispronunciation of the words democracy and committee and by calling ,IF NOT BY NAME THEN BY Implication a real gentleman Joe Crystle a person of small mind and a myriad of other names SAID SHITTTER has exposed himself for the bitter and hateful pill he is.
A perfect fit for Fine Gael WHOSE NOMINATION TO THE SEANAD HE IS.
Not fit to lace Joe's boots.
Knowing Joe and his innate decency and moral code I fully back his call for an Independent investigation ,but guess what ,the mouthpieces will run scared from this lest their prejudices be established and their lies be exposed.
