GARDAÍ ARE INVESTIGATING after two bodies were discovered in a house in a Kildare estate.
The bodies of a man and a woman (both aged in their 70s) were discovered in a house in Ashfield Park estate in Naas, Kildare at 11.30am yesterday morning.
A garda spokesperson confirmed that they are investigating the incident.
The deaths are not being treated as suspicious at this time.
The house has been closed off for a Garda technical examination and the state pathologist has been notified.
A post-mortem on the bodies is to be arranged, the results of which will determine the course of the investigation.
No foul play is suspected in the deaths.
I wonder how they will do the player stats? Will it be relative, or exactly the same scale as the men? A woman with the same physical stats as a man wouldn’t make much sense.
I think they’re making their own seperate scales for men and women. Unfortunately it won’t be possible to play female sides versus male sides.
Get your tlts out for the lads Andy gray be delighted
Will they bouncy bounce…..
intelligent input, cheers
Dave we wouldn’t expect you to understand.
Well after about 20 games or whatever they’re gonna have to come up with something new.
Women’s football is dire.
it raises the profile of the women’s game and the players on the teams probably get a fee for using their names and faces that’s the only reason i can see…
Or maybe it’s so women playing the game can play as women?
I’m more annoyed that fifa 16 is more the same as 15 and nothing has changed.
Like every other year?
your’re complaining about fifa not changing on an article about how fifa has changed to iclude women’s teams ???
Some people are never happy, huh!?
I was thinking more of adding new leagues like the Ukraine one, being able to change how much of a crowd there is, less bugs and crashes online and making it more real like handballs and such. I don’t mind women football in it but it will be forgotten about when the game comes out as it only really a few international teams and no club league team at all.
The inclusion of women teams will have no negative impact on other modes in the game so the indignation appearing on social media would appear to be attributable to misogyny. This isn’t being imposed on people, they can simply ignore the women teams and continue playing as they would any other year.
Gamer culture is rife with sexism, especially the Fifa, GTA and COD subcultures.
I agree a lot of gamers are sexist and to be a woman playing video games online must be infuriating.
But women like Anita Sarkeesian (I think that’s how you spell her name?) and her followers really don’t help that at all. She thinks up ways games are sexist from no where. Examples being in the game “Hitman Absolution” at one point of the game you walk through a strip club and are able to shoot the people in the strip club and even though you are penalised for doing it she said its sexist because its advocating violence against women. She’s done the same with the GTA game series too.
She makes up shite about games and is lauded on this site for it. That lad last week made up shite about mad max and was slammed by the same writers. The pair of then are more alike than different.
You should watch “reviewtechusa” on YouTube and his most recent video about her inclusion in times most influential people and how she got there.Very interesting stuff.
I’ll have a look at that. I always have a bad feeling about people who are placed above criticism, especially when they are in the business of criticism themselves. Still, there’s a part of me that can’t help admire how she can rake in the cash while having the tumblratchikks do all of the donkey work. Not admire in an approving way, it’s more like the admiration I feel watching Wolf of Wall Street.
The thing I can’t understand is how people can actually agree with what she is saying. It literally makes no sense what so ever and people still listen to her.
It’s bit about right and wrong, it’s about confirmation bias and agendas . Victim status has its own advantages so they just lap up whatever suits their current view.
So many sexist comments there…
Did you expect anything less?
What are you on about? There’s no such thing as sexism, *especially* among journal commenters
I meant the tweets.
My wife’s a girl and she thinks it’s a step back, she says them girls should be at home making the dinners not playing keepy upies
Your wife is a girl? Well thank heavens for that
Will be interesting to see the women player’s stats compared to the mens. And how accurate the models are. Feels like a pointless nod to progressives at the moment.
Firstly, IT’S A GAME!! Stats are fictional. They’re abitrary numbers.
Secondly, for someone who thinks it is some weird progressive nod, you seem to hold the character Magneto in high esteem using him as your avatar & name where the entire basis of his character was an analogy (Malcolm X) for the struggle of LGBTQ & African American people…. unless you were doing it as some pointless nod to progressives…
Malcolm X did not care for LGBTQ people that’s incredibly inaccurate.
Sorry google suggests Malcolm X was actually a rent boy while it was Martin Luther King that was no fan of the LBGT’s.
“Incredibly inaccurate”. That is perfect. You made my day Joe :)
In fairness Ciaran I’ve corrected the record, I mixed my black revolutionaries up and had never realised Malcolm X was in to blokes.
I never said he was first of all. Secondly if you read the original comment I was saying how the character was an analogy for both of these issues. You were the one who was calling him a “rent boy”. You’re a terrible homophobe & sexist! The entire thread of comments here has been a pure torrent of sexism & misogyny. What is wrong with you people?!
Why are you talking about lgbt and race issues Ciaran? Neither have anything to do with what I posted.
Are you denying Ciaran a safe space? Bigot!
I think it’s a cool feature to add but for this instalment it will get boring for people quickly since there are no women’s leagues going to be in the game. Maybe in a few years time we will be seeing a women’s football FIFA game on the shelves in GameStop since its quickly rising in popularity.
To all the people enraged and upset by this allow me to add a bit of perspective-
IT’S A F*”KING COMPUTER GAME!!! GET OVER IT!
FIFA and a fap. Great news!
Wonder will they be wearing extra tight shorts just like Sepp advises.
It would be interesting to see how many people would like to play as female football players. As mentioned in one of those tweets, one would imagine there are other features the community want more.
Seems they are just looking for easy press for a stale old franchise and usual rags have obliged. In years to come I’ll laugh when people look back and remember the years of ‘femsploitation’ and the idiots who fell for it.
So u mean that it’s a woman in the picture??? !!
Adds women… Doesn’t add Stephanie Roche!… EA for you folks!
Shocking that EA isn’t making it a paid DLC.
Shocking EA isn’t releasing it as a paid DLC.
have your say
