I am no Ross fan, and altho Harry was good (great) today, he has s lot to do to be considered in the same conversation
Ps I hope he gets there. Loved us playing more ball in band today and less box kicks

You don't even need to #smearthebejaysus out of Ivan Yates. The true stuff about him is all awful. Get this feckin fraud off our airwaves

Yates praises Thatcher/Reagan for slashing welfare and promoting self-reliance. He's been taking public pension since he was 43. He'd taken €250,000 by 50. He still gets €75,000 pa, and will for life. Funded by citizens who work for fractions of that.

Yates nets €240,000 from pension before age of 50
FORMER Fine Gael minister Ivan Yates earned more than €240,000 in pension payments before the age of 50, the Irish Independent can reveal.

Other than the obvious SA and LAR drop goal heroics, Frawley has been underwhelming at almost all of the chances he's got at 10. He doesn't seem to have the consistency required to play there imo

The Bar Council have been put in the position of having issue a statement correcting the false claims in both the IT and the Indo that Connolly took cases by choice when in fact she was meeting her professional and legal obligations as all barristers do.

You say that about Suzika, but Kimi says otherwise!
phlytecase.bsky.social
Phil @phlytecase.bsky.social · 3d
I like all of those. Suzika and Bahrain (love night race!) are cool too. All the ones that are fast and allow overtaking.
I get bored waiting for pit stops or safety cars to change the order. Silverstone is amazing, and I like how it and Brazil are often wet and cause carnage

I think i heard Domeniconi pushing for a 4th last year and engender being really pissed off. Bring back Hockenheim over another shit american street circuit

Nope, just tired brain!
I like Mexico and Interlagos. Both offer something interesting: Mexico with the altitude making the engines go weird and Brazil being mental fast and good for overtaking

COTA is great cos it's a real track, there is overtaking and it has a history of being there. The others can get in the bin. There's only 3 in US, my mistake. I think they were considering a fourth in LA last year, weren't they?

Agreed that the yanks are going to bomb. FIA/FOM are obsessed with trying to crank America at all costs and it's pathetic. Most of the FOUR races there are shite and the yanks don't have the attention span for it

Yep. Miles off the pace. Both cars getting disqualified in China spooked them. They obviously messed up the ride height and the car has been dogshit since they've had to run it higher. Unacceptable to get that wrong in the 4th year of a set of regs

I'd love to be wrong, but Fred seems to be drowning tbh. Still, they've moved the focus completely to next year and a new set of rules could mean anyone could come out on top. As ever, it's the hope that kills you

Yep, I can see this all playing out exactly as you say. They may surprise us with their engine, but they'll fuck up the aero or the strategy or let the drivers race too much and room their chances. Hamilton retires and Leclerc never wins the WDC. depressing stuff

Wow, didn't think it was by that much. Hamilton and Mercedes were ridiculous back then, but remembered Ferrari being more competitive. This year is an absolute clown show. They have gone so far backwards

They were close in both 18 and 19 tho weren't they? Just that Vettel made too many mistakes and faded as the championship went on and Hamilton grew and grew

The really are a pathetic outfit. You'd have to wonder if it's the attitude of the team being more important than the drivers. Maybe they don't listen to them enough. Whatever it is, it's ridiculous at this stage
