how close this country was to absolute anarchy on the streets only 2 years ago. funnily enough i think a state run on anarchy principles would flourish! so close yet so far eh!? :)

Bertie's comments at the end of the programme was a pathetic attempt to cover his own arse.He was up to his neck in the whole lot for years.

Thought it was about our club, today was a sad today, confirmed to me that the average standard of our players are the same as Birmingham, Gerrard & Torres apart.

Watched part 2 last night and it was unbelievable the way the government and banks acted. Ahern was on it and he said in all his years as Taoiseach the financial regulator never asked him for a meeting, well then why the fcuk didn't Ahern ask him for a meeting instead.
It really highlighted how much the banks fcuked it up, they were giving out mortgages willy nilly 11 times the amount people earned. If the government wanted to safeguard against a crash they should have reined in the banks and made them stick to old school principles like only being able to borrow 3 times your salary. That would have kept a lid on house prices. But no the banks were throwing money at people so no wonder developers kept upping their prices
