Championship Manager and deckchairs on the Titanic: it's the week in comments

You’ve had another solid week, readers.

JOHN C AGREED with Donal Óg Cusack’s scathing critique about how the Cork County Board is using their money. He earned extra marks for the great Titanic reference.

Anybody close to Cork underage hurling will agree with everything Donal Og said. And the stats are worth repeating. 1998 last 21 title. 2001 last minor title. Absolutely shocking. It’s an over used cliche but the Titanic is sinking and the CCB are moving the deck chairs.

He wouldn’t nominate Paul O’Connell tho would he #fearofgod

Can you be considered a great team without having won the biggest prize? Matt F didn’t think Clermont could and backed up his opinion with this emphatic statement.

Leinster played beautiful rugby in the early 2000s and won SFA. Success is the yardstick of greatness. Losers whine about doing their best. Winners go home and **** the prom queen

After figures were released showing that Toulouse’s budget is greater than the four provinces and the national team combined, Colm Casey paid tribute to the achievements of Ireland’s top players.

Sick that the National team and our four provinces can be run for less than Toulouse. Just shows how much we over-achieve, fair play like
