Here’s someone that clearly thinks the Garda Ombudsman is a waste of time. Wheat pasted up near the Rothar shop, on one of the many empties in the area. They should consider themselves lucky they are not facing criminal damage as well. Tsk tsk. Click through the photos to read the whole story.

The greatest player you never saw
When Dunphy goes off on his next hyperbolic rant about the true greats, Brady, Giles, Puskas and Aidan O’Brien, remember this name… Vassilis Hatzipanagis. Born to Greek political refugees in Tashkent, Uzbekistan in 1954, Hatzipanagis’ story is probably the greatest story of modern sport denied by the machinations of politics.

A Bmore Chronicle
Heads involved in the Baltimore club music scene respond to charges it’s dead. They launched this Kickstarter last month, which didn’t succeed in its goal – that probably says something in and of itself but who knows the local politics involved.
