Quote from: RedHand88 on March 06, 2024, 10:55:03 AMWho cares. Its a team bonding session. I'd say 80k is right enough if they are bringing the wags for 35(?) players, plus coaching staff.
Counties that win all Irelands do this all the time.

I can't see the wags going. I would like to think it is a warm weather training camp for all the players for 3 or 4 days or whatever it is.

Joe Kernan and La Manga - just need the cross field diagonal ball going into Shane McGuigan now!

Won't be a word about it if croke park and all ireland final day is reached

Quote from: tbrick18 on February 26, 2024, 05:38:36 PMEmmet Bradley wasn't on the panel o  Sunday either. Injured?

His brother got married on Saturday

A bit of common sense there, and hopefully with the management's full backing and it won't be held against him.

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on February 19, 2024, 12:11:29 PMIts the not knowing for that age bracket which doesn't surprise me, they probably feel that it will impact on them  later in life, pensions and the like.

Its about the details, if you do a poll, knowing that the concerns you have won't affect your heath and retirement then the figures will change, hopefully.

Not confident that I'll see a UI. Very slow moving

Where does your OH sit on the issue? Personal question obviously so no need to answer if it's a touchy subject, just that you've mentioned before about difference background.

Agree regarding that age group who are looking for certainties with retirement / health care getting closer. I think it's probably more of an issue with the middle ground all the same.

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on February 13, 2024, 11:46:17 PMIs Paul McNeil still on the panel, haven't seen his name on the panel for games.

Not sure - but am I right in thinking he was on the panel in some of the photos that were circulating on social media in the last few weeks for the game versus London in division 4 of the national league in Ballinascreen?

He has possibly been off the panel in years in between without ever really nailing down a spot. A fine player.

Quote from: trailer on February 13, 2024, 09:01:45 AMM'ON said it is unfair to ask ppl to pay water charges in a cost of living crisis but SF along with DUP and UUP happy to increase rates in Mid Ulster by 5.9%.


Are you proposing that all rates are frozen forever?

They raised them 7.3% last year and 3.9% 2022

I think continually increasing them year on year is unfair. Especially when MO'N said additional costs at this time is unfair. Is it to much to ask for SF to be consistent?


Was that a yes or a no?

Quote from: TabClear on January 29, 2024, 12:54:34 PMI am with Fibrus a couple of years as was tied in after they brought fibre up my road., they did did a free connection.I had no choice as BT could only offer copper. Does anyone know if they have to allow competitors to use the lines after a period, i.e. can BT offer me fibre now using Fibrus infrastructure?

Almost certain they don't share the lines. Which is fairly stupid especially in rural areas

With regards to McKaigue - I reckon he knows himself that he will need a run of games and to keep injury free so that he's fully firing come championship time and a firmer sod.  No easy task when hitting the mid 30s to play in the full back line picking up marquee forwards.

Is McEvoy injured?

Quote from: trailer on January 16, 2024, 10:51:58 AMAre people really in dire dire straits? Like really? Some people are vulnerable surely but the vast vast majority I would argue are not. Otherwise they would change who they vote for. They would look to change things. From what I can see most people in NI are happy enough with the status quo of SF / DUP. And but extension happy enough with their standard of living.

Ordinary everyday people don't care about Health or Education or NI Water or other government departments or agencies. When SF boycotted Stormont and health waiting lists ballooned, their vote went up. It's the same story with the DUP and Jeffrey can face the unions and say comfortably that he has a mandate. He knows his policy is popular.

Everyday people don't give one f**k. And the Unions would need to consider that.


I don't know how, but every day you surpass yourself in being a complete tool

Quote from: Itchy on January 11, 2024, 05:54:10 PMBlinne Ni Ghralaigh at the ICC today as part of the South African legal team. Speaking so eloquently about the genocide of Gaza.

I wonder does Micheal Martin and Leo Varadkar not feel shame that she is the only Irish representative in the room. It hard to see how Israel can possibly defend these accusations legally. I imagine they'll play the man, not the ball.

interesting thread here in what inspired here career choice. history repeating itself. Rotten shower of bastards.

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on January 06, 2024, 03:59:13 AMAny of the Downeys there? Presume Shea Downey still on the Panel.

I think I saw Shea and Matthew there on Wednesday night not stripped out in some of the photos from the Cavan game.

Not sure about Enda.

Oran Downey on the Antrim panel.

Nevertheless, there are still networks that offer inclusive EU roaming. Many budget networks – giffgaff, Tesco Mobile, Asda Mobile, iD Mobile, SMARTY, Lycamobile and Lebara – still include EU roaming for no extra charge in their plans. But there's usually a fair usage policy in place, which limits the amount of data you can use while you're away.

Rotten Tory b@stards every one of them. Rotten to the core, and I hope they knife the shite out of each other.

The rich get richer.
