      I didnt get a push notification for it, but then again I only have push notifications turned on for top stories.

      was a very famous and well liked all black in his playing days probably

      Honestly, as much as I want to rail on them.

      They probably pushed the wrong button!

      Anything is now a push notification. Turn off push notifications.

    5. Surely you want to be kept up to date on all the latest with the Big Five coming into the business end of the schools season?

      It’s a parish newsletter for a specific demographic in Dublin, and this is hot gossip in the parish.

      Wait! What ?! Carlos Spencer is gone after six months?! Jesus christ monkey balls.

      This is the rugby club that plays in the All Ireland League (the top level of club rugby in Ireland), not the school.

      Carlos Spencer is a big name coach for that level of rugby, a former Super Rugby player and All Black etc.

      It’s newsworthy in the context of Irish sport.

      Because the Irish media are mainly a bunch of south Dubliners who believe Dublin is the only places that exists

      You could ask that about any sports news headline, but apparently some people care about sports and want updates on what’s happening.

      The first part? Carlos Spencer was an important figure in world rugby as a player. What he’s doing in his subsequent coaching career will be of genuine interest to people who follow rugby, particularly those invested in Leinster schools rugby or the AIL. That’s not a tiny subset of the Irish Times readership. The fact that he’s gone after a short time implies something went wrong. Again, that will be of interest to many IT readers.

      I agree it shouldn’t be national news but how the fuck did a school team get Carlos Spencer in as a coach?

      Edit: ohhh the AIL team, still a pretty big name for that level

    13. PukeUpMyRing on

      Partially to do with the demographics of the Irish Times readership and partially to do with the fact that Spencer is a former All Black international who played for New Zealand for 10 years. Getting someone of his playing pedigree to coach a school team is somewhat newsworthy in an of itself.

    14. I’d say they know their paying customer base quite well and are keeping them happy

      Turning off all push notifications has improved my simple life significantly. I recommend it.

    16. It’s punishing you for forgetting to disable notifications on your news app. Also for installing an app in the first place instead of just going to the web site when you want to read the news.
