Could the Gards have made a bigger mess of it .
-
Steve wonder do a better job on traffic management
-
I didn't go near it, town and the outskirts was busy as every other taxi was in and around the park.

What was on ?

What was on ?
Little Ginger Lad was singing .Sound was to loud crowd to big most couldnt even see him and the Gards kept taxies about a mile away fromit at closing time .Stones tonight then Ginger Friday and Sat I wont go near them not worth the hastle .

Ermy I thought only the new drivers go for concert pickups.I'm inclined to stay away from other cabs if I can. Yesterday I was trying to avoid dropping at the park as my return journey would have been empty.
Same goes for Marley park if there's something on there I'll drive the opposite direction. Cops don't make it easy for us so feck them.

I didnt get near it just trying to get to town last night .they had Chappo blocked off Kilmainham and Parkgate Street .Im sure Castleknock and Cabra Gates were fucked up as well .City was very quiet last night so was Metaxi as I didnt have priority .

It was the same in Cork two weeks ago, Gardai would only let us drop 2KM from the venue, which was silly in the afternoon as people were wandering away down between 3pm and 8pm and there was no major congestion of pedestrians on the roads.
Granted after the concert it was probably correct not to allow any vehicle within Two KM of the venue.
Cork hurlers will play Clare this Sunday in the same venue and it will be a sell-out, but this time because it is not a Concert, then just the usual local traffic restrictions will apply and all will be 'Good in de Hood' once more !

Ah ok.I reckon it's to stop someone getting too close in a car to cause damage. Someone was telling me the cops are insisting that all large gatherings(mini-marathons etc) now need full security plans in place and maybe even those concrete barriers to stop some gobshite causing an incident. They say we're not at risk but still insisting that the events hire private security. This is the new normal.

There was a distinct lack of Taxies in Cork city during the Ed Sheeran concert weekend, the usual rural Cork suspects who reguarly join our city fleet most weekends where no where to be seen and a lot of city drivers after seeing the Garda traffic management plan bogged off down to Kinsale to work the "Kinsale 7's" rugby event which is a very big weekend with the rugby-heads and the single'ish women who stalk them.

Mates kid is a cop .They look on these concerts as demonstrations and apply the same code of practice they would to a march they seperate the people from the vehicles as much as possible for the safety of the pedestriand its calle the isolation zone .you might also note that on the edge of this zone they also have civilians .Their job is to pick uprubbish but Iwould think there are other things going on .As far as I know the event managers have to hold insurance for that zone so its probably the Promoters who dont want vehicular traffic .The Gards would probably prefer if we could get people out of the area as soon as possible .

I had a real bad gut feeling about the Ed Sheeran concerts in Cork regarding a terrorist attack, TBTG I was wrong.
No fear of an attack at a GAA match, Firstly because it would not get international headlines as the vast majority of the world has never heard of Hurling and Secondly because the Boggers would tear any terrorist to shreads.

THE FOOKIN SHUTTLE BUS AND RICKSHAWS WERE ALLOWED IN !

The cops are now insisting on events even charity runs are paying for Gardai coverage, even if it's Sunday and they're on double pay.Also private security is a must. They're also insisting they pay for them lads in the posh jeeps with the Rambo uniforms on standby. Promoters/organisers are being told they won't get licences unless the cops are satisfied with the security levels.
Sure they had parts if the park closed off as far back as last Sunday. Seems like overkill but they probably know what they're doing.
-
I know of 5 events that were cancelled due to the bronz the Gards were looking for .Our kid is doing a few festivals this year and some promoters will not allow under 18 attend the event and Most if not All wont allow under 18s back stage in the VIP area incase Garry Glitter or Jimmy Saville look a likes interfear with them and they get sued

I'd agree, it only takes One Muslim IS nutjob to wipe out many at these packed events.
I'm kinda hoping that I get to meet one in action someday, he might well kill me,
but if he dosen't then I will kill him.

Its not terrorist that will cause the trouble its fucking Drunken stoneheads running out in front of you trying to use their super powers to stop a speeding vehicle .
-
Belker maybe they know more than the let on.Could be a few folks with shady pasts from different shitholes working as taxi drivers here.A good few of the Uk attacks with vehicles were affiliated with Uber or private hire.They cops can't verify everyones backround so it's easier to ban the taxis completely.
When I'm out walking the dog it seems like every second night driver is Pakistani or Indian.Never really see them on the day shift.

There is about 12% difference in rate between day and night .Them Asians do the maths .Why work doing the same job for less .A lot of them cant work dats as they have to do their prayer .

They probably get a thrill from driving around half dressed young wans like the rest of yis night pervs...They would let their own burds/daughters go around like they're in a Beyonce video..

Oh how we,the Bohemians faithful long for such crowds in dalymount.the nearest we get to it is when we play rovers.come to think of it ,we play them next week come on the gypsys
-
Remember picking a couple of English lads up at Doyle's Corner a good few years back. Someone had convinced them to attend a Bohs game. They said it was akin to watching a lunchtime kickabout with loading bay doors as goalposts. I gather the standard has improved a bit since?
-
The whole league standatd has improved rat,but unfortuinatly the Irish would rather support the Brits then their own.if fact they even support the brits AGAINST their own. Example was 3years ago liverpool fc came over here to play shamrock rovers.35 thousand at the match 34,500 shouting for the Brits AGAINST their own,and these people have the cheek to call themselves soccer supporters.they should hang their fukking heads in shame

TBF Dalymount the Irish league is poor quality, any Irish player anyway half decent is snapped up by the English clubs fer big money and as their average career is only Ten years long, it is hard to pass up the big money.
My own Small fella (16) is handy enough and if he were to be offered a british contract, then I would give him my heart-broken Blessing to go.
-
I understand what your saying Ken,but I have always believed the only way irish people make their own league better is by supporting it,and putting money into it.its hard to believe that thousands,on a weekly basis ,spend hundreds of pounds going across the water to watch english matches hotel rooms,flights,match tickes,etc the same fukkers wouldnt pay 15 euro in to turners cross or oriel park,dalymount,to support their local club. Every time I rhink of that fukker down your neck of the woods who wrote the song glorifying liverpool fc,IN THE HOME OF THE CURRENT LEAGUE OF IRELAND CHAMPIONS,CORK CITY,it makes me sick.the locals should fukk him out over to his beloved mersyside
-
I don't know who that is Dalymount, but I do support my Small fellas local team and his school team and seldom miss any of his matches. My birthright of being born within a stones throw of Stamford bridge should allow me to be a Chelsea supporter, but I'm not.
Instead I chose the Rep of Ireland international team and followed them all over the globe fer many years, Italia '90 being the highlight !
