Player Ratings: What's the best part of Christmas dinner?

Clash of the titans here.

WELL, HERE WE are now. It’s the big day. This year has been a write-off – we all know that. 

But that doesn’t mean we still can’t enjoy a slap-up meal and row about which bit of is best. 

It’s at this point that whoever is reading this must compliment the chef and tell him/her that the turkey “was not dry” and was “incredibly delicious”. Thank me later for reminding you. 

So, for the day that’s in it, we want to know: What part of the Christmas dinner is the best?

    @Brendan O’Brien: It’s quite easy, it’s called clutching at the straws of diversity, every Ad on TV and poster campaigns on the streets portrays Ireland as a mixed race family paradise. It’s the push against white families that bothers me. The demographics on the street don’t mirror what’s on our TVs, pushing the THEIR narrative down our throats.

    @Freda Peeple: ‘push against white families’ is sheer fantasy. I prefer to see a recognition that not everyone in the country is white.

    @Freda Peeple: as seen on our children school books recently…”white family bad” “mixed family AWESOME” I will add I have no problem with mixed race family, but according to our advertisers they are the norm. They aren’t

    @William Slevin: ‘There are too many Black people on my television’ is just racism no matter how you slice it.

    @Mel Fitzpatrick: I thought S3 was a bit of a comedown after the high of S2. Still very good though.

    @William Slevin: fully agree. I reckon the next season could be the last.

    People of colour have lived in Ireland for years. White is also a colour!

    Shogun is an absolute bore fest. Visually it is fantastic but the writing is bad and the two main characters are wholly unlikeable.

    True Detective NC was good, but they could have toned down the slapstick humour a bit. Was lacking a more serious tone in my view.
