Quote from: Armamike on March 21, 2024, 12:37:42 AMGoldbridge isn't happy 😁

It would be worth Southgate becoming manager just to get that idiot off the social media, he's an absolute dose.

Total dose and has been called out on numerous occasions for some of his bullshit.

That being said I would not be a fan of appointing Southgate.

Quote from: imtommygunn on March 19, 2024, 02:49:17 PMYeah but it wasn't driven into people by some army council boy landing round to the house of everyone with kids in them. It was driven into us by our parents. It wasn't some pre planned notion of this will get a united ireland - it was a notion that education will give you better chances in life. These boys seem to think that it was a joined up effort by the entire population. Bonkers.

Well said.

But that is the absolute perception out there even amongst the non-hardliners, everything was one big conspiracy against them, it was all joined up thinking by those pesky Taigs.

Quote from: SaffronSports on March 16, 2024, 12:16:48 PMGood luck to the St Killian's hurlers today. Just leaving Castlebellingham now. Feels like half the Glens are here.
Coming home as All Ireland B Champions will feel good for those lads and management.

Was a very slick performance, some super hurlers on that team.

No great love for Teachers, but the fact that someone is such an important job is unable to put a roof over their own head is a crazy situation for any country to be in.

Where is the long term future in this when things are the way they are now?

Quote from: Armagh18 on March 15, 2024, 09:32:32 AMCould stormont not pass a lawing limiting premiums or would that need to be London? It is properly scandalous. Reducing car insurance and having roads fit for purpose are 2 issues that would please a lot of people if they were sorted

Pretty sure all these Insurance companies end up back with about 4/5 multi national huge companies.
I would doubt even London would have the clout to do anything about it, even if the will was there to do something, which there isn't.

Quote from: NorthAntrim on March 12, 2024, 03:16:57 PMI thought the u20s had a serious looking panel with plenty of firepower up top. Couldnt make the game but a forward line with joe mclaughlin, aodhan mcgarry, niall mcgarrell and cormac mckeown should be a serious outfit

Seniors are where probably expected with the few opting out, retirements etc

U20s would be more of a concern for sure.

I'd done a couple of trial games leading up to the start of the championship and its not for the lack of effort put in from what I could see, probably just beaten by the better team on the day?

Yeah as far as I am aware the preparations were good, which to me makes it even more worrying that we aren't beating Derry (No disrespect intended)

Is that the campaign over or do they still get into Leinster for the AI?

Derry are now in the Leinster B championship, Antrim could well be in an AI "B" competition or even lower down, my contact hasn't got back to me yet.



They aren't in any of them, they have decided not to enter and their season is over

Well then there would need to be a few more questions asked now if that is the case.

Would there have been anything to gain plying in an All Ireland B against the likes of Roscommon, Donegal etc ? Management nor players wanted to take part.

They have been training since November,some of them involved with CPC & GT in the Mageean & the GT players still on the go until this weekend. They have probably had enough

I don't think that there would be anything to be gained from this either.

My point was that questions would need to be asked with the level of preparation into this group that we are out at this point.

Quote from: 93-DY-SAM on March 11, 2024, 10:20:39 PMWhy would anyone edit a photo in the way this was done. Doesn't make sense. Applying a filter etc doesn't introduce inconsistencies to the image like the ones here. It would be some serious image manipulation such as adding people into a picture that would introduce these types of anomalies. 

Some soap opera all the same.

And it turns out the one they put out of them together in the Range Rover is doctored as well.

Some GCSE graphics student on placement in Kensington Palace is getting the boot.


I normally couldn't give two shites about them and wouldn't walk to the back door to see any of them but am interested in this in the hope that I'm witnessing an implosion and the start of the end of days of the British Royal family. Be another blow to the Union!

I think you could be right about that. This is really turning out to be a complete disaster.

The funny thing is the next decade could see the dissolution of the Union and the sidelining of the Royal family. The likelihood is that this will be overseen by a Labour government....is that a good thing for them politically?

The British class system depends on the Royals, it's hard to see where it goes from here if Charles pops the clogs in the next year or so.



Don't think Labour will need to go near it, once Charles goes it will start to happen naturally. Eventually they will end up like the Royals in European countries, on the side lines.

Thought the ref was great and managed the game well.

Arteta is an awful bollix

Sky will be rubbing their hands after yesterdays result.

Real possibility at this point it could come down to goal difference.

Quote from: nrico2006 on March 09, 2024, 04:24:24 PMBoxers usually deteriorate physically but the weird case with AJ was that he obviously had mental issues which affected his performances post losing to Ruiz. He became more hesitant, committed less offensively etc. and even tried to just outbox Usyk. Based on the last 2 fights under BDs tutelage, it looks like he has overcome those issues now and looks like the old front foot fighter he was. That fighter could beat Usyk, or Fury.

Don't he has the mentality to beat either, which is a pity as I would love to see him beat Fury all around the ring.

I don't think either Fury or AJ are beating Usyk as things stand at the moment.

Quote from: brokencrossbar1 on March 08, 2024, 11:51:57 AMDeal is done,  wait and see the investment in the Shankhill over the next 12 months in an education hub linked to Ulster University. People are meeting with loyalist groups to get them on board. This is all about hearts and minds,  making unionist 'Irish' the norm so that the younger generation don't see any difference when the border is gone.

If that was the case that kids from those deprived backgrounds were getting a help out and a sight of a different future from building bonfires and looking up to drug dealers driving X5's then I'd have no qualms about that.

Getting loyalist groups onboard normally means greasing a few palms



Make no mistake about it JC, it still means exactly the same. There are very few 'structures' within the loyalist communities to invest in. This money will be filtered through these communities and end up in the same hands as all the other monies have.

All we are doing is making consultants and gate keepers richer than they already are.

Is it not reasonable to block Casement or if it has to go ahead there needs to be major £££ spaffed in PUL areas for reparations

Thats how i see it
You've got it in one. No such thing as distributing funding on the basis of need rather themmuns got it so we must get it too

Quote from: Dreadnought on February 23, 2024, 09:45:10 PMAlright then non lunatic. What's your grand plan? Corrigan Park forever?

Already said it many, many times on the thread. But for your benefit.

- Replace the old main stand with a new one, covered seating. All the facilities they could ever want could be placed underneath this as the new structure could be far more significantly hollowed out relative to old, and the back of it could be extended over the road to add further floor space. No big difference to light on houses to the West of Casement as the existing stand already blocks it.
- Stick a roof over the (renewed) terrace on the far side of the pitch. The back end of this structure can hold the badly needed amenities. It'd be relatively low profile though.
- Renew the terraces at both ends of the pitch. Don't cover them. If there is sufficient demand - as determined by polls, one of the ends could be uncovered seats.

Capacity of 30-40k for the one or two times a year it may be needed - which would be during the summer. Comfortably sufficient covered capacity for during the autumn/winter/spring. 3 or 4 significantly different price tiers.

Basically the stadium that the GAA needs at a cost that will benefit all in the long-run.

Instead we're getting an expensive to build, expensive to maintain milestone, which will come with astronomical ticket prices.


But hey - the Ulster Council might be able to hold a few concerts. That's what this is about right? Otherwise it makes no sense to build what they are trying to build.
Great idea. Windsor all covered all seated, Ravenhill something similar. Casement as suggested above. Croppy lie down

Windsor and Ravenhill all seated and covered as that's what the need is now to meet supporter's requirements. Casements supporters have the same requirements

I see Glentoran boss out in big support of getting Casement built so it could host the 'Big 2' matches  ;D
