Apologies, I should have mentioned earlier, that this should really be the end of the discussion on this schoolyard spat. As Kev and others have already asked for.

It must be annoying, frustrating and sad having to listen to it all.
For everyone including the guys that help run the place.

It certainly is on my part, but Spectre wanted his say and I felt the need/right to reply.

If anyone has anything to say or ask then it's best kept to private messages I reckon.

With the greatest respect, you know full well what transpired between you and TOTG. You know what transpired with you and I. And now, despite specifically rules being put in place about how diaries can be used, and how people should respect that, this has happened.

Quite frankly the rest is, excuse the pun, complete horseshit.

And as for libelous and rude. Give me a break. You really do yourself no favours.

Perhaps you would like to go and reflect why these issues come arise through you and nobody else, and then we can perhaps move on.

At the risk of completely ignoring the request to drop it. If there's genuinely rules about commenting on other people's diaries, as I've now read twice that there is, then I don't think they're very well published...

A suggestion maybe to help avoid future situations. Rather than a criticism :cheerful:

My wish is that either both of you elaborate and provide us with the detail and context that we need to properly understand for ourselves or leave us out of it. At the moment a lot is being said and yet very little is being said which for me is the worst of both worlds. If you want us to know tell us as I for one would happily listen, hey there are loads of really smart emotionally intelligent people on here that may be able to help, but if you don’t want to expand sufficiently for us to properly understand then leave us out of it. This is just my personal view others may be enjoying this.

I believe, he's referring to people being open to do as they please on their own diaries. Not sure this has ever been any different, although ideas/suggestions on content would have been discussed.
Pretty sure asking questions in a normal manner are allowed, as is other discussion. Otherwise, that rule is getting broken every day.
Could change though. I'm sure mods are well pissed. As I said earlier.
And why in respect to them and all the many other members we really ought to move out of the way.

Algerian man terror attack on children at a school middle of the day city centre.

People angry with gov on immigration, has been rumbling for a long time. This and another recent similar murder have been big catalysts for tonight’s riots. Large portion of city is a young rough crowd who are taking advantage and love abit of anarchy.

Crazy to see doesn’t look real

Hasn't just been brewing in Dublin either, it's all over the country. I think it's easy to get the impression from news/social media that the views of the people doing the rioting are in a small minority, but in reality I see people everyday from teenagers to over 70s voicing concerns about the situation. The people voicing such concerns are immediately shut down by being branded as racist and anti immigrant, which a lot of them aren't, they're just normal people with valid concerns. Like how a homeless crisis in the city that has been dragging on for years is going to be helped by rapidly rising the population of the city. Of course you'll also just have the troublemakers who want any reason to cause carnage, and you can see plenty of them out tonight destroying property and businesses.

Is it meant to be ironic that the locals are moaning about the immigrants ruining the city and then have actually ruined the city themselves?

Yeah I don't think many of those out rioting and looting are people with any genuine care about the city, it's just an opportunity for them to steal some clothes and tv's, all in the name of "protecting" the city.

Yeah, when it happened in Birmingham over 10 years ago it was just a load of chavs stealing stuff
 
If there was ever a recurring trend anywhere across the world, wherever there is a spark, the skangers/chavs/lowlifes (insert local names for them here) will come out in the dark, attack the local police and loot and burn anything in close vicinity. The only shops not looted. Bookstores!!

If it happens anywhere else, sleepy old Ireland gets it 5/10/20 years later.

But more importantly. All eyes on the 12.55 Fairyhouse. Another forum favourite shows if he has been worth all our collected monies.

Hopefully he lays down the law

The racing media will be praying he's good as there are endless puns for headlines available
 
Just seen a post of Lydia Hislop sharing about the BHA looking to make changes after the recent non competitive races i.e 4 runner Arkle Trials etc.

I don’t follow the UK pattern changes with much thought but did the BHA not just do a huge overhaul of the race programme already? Is there even more races and meetings that need scrapping?
