Bad timing for the DUP.  "Safeguarding the Union" dead in the water, the ruling that the Rwanda act doesn't apply in NI.  Big Gavin Robinson under pressure in East Belfast, South Antrim maybe in the mix.  While I think he'll be re-elected, Eastwood's majority of 17,000 should be well reduced.  For SF, there's Fermanagh & Sth Tyrone.  Michelle Gildernew is standing in the Euro elections in the South.  If she wins a seat she can't run for Westminster and even if she doesn't win, surely SF have to declare their candidate in FST before 7 June?

Maybe hoping for a bit of Euros feel good from the electorate but surely they are on the road out.

Jeffrey about to lose his income and expenses too.

Do a lot do their draw on Facebook live?

I bought a ticket a couple years ago , and the  draw was on that FB live

In the process of  drawing the winners , they  drew one name and says he's won 2nd  prize (then placed his ticket on a table). Then they proceeded  to draw the 1st prize  winner.

I  remember thinking oh they're in trouble  here.  Technically the 2nd prize winner  wasn't actually in the hat  for the chance  to win 1st prize, so could have demanded  the 1st prize also (10k I think). 

He obviously didn't realise  this , and the club in question could have been out another  7 or 8 grand had he pushed it

Western standards laid bare for all to see:

I'm not sure the term "Western" is appropriate, every west European country and Canada, Australia and New Zealand support the ICC.

The USA don't.

Then the post should have referred to the USA and not to "Western".

While your post shouldn't have made the claim that "every western country" supports the ICC.

The point I was making is that the "western" world were up and arms and rightly so when Russia invaded Ukraine, sanctions, diplomats getting banned etc etc, but when Israel starts slaughtering the Palestinians on a scale that would make Pol Pot blush, there's none of the same concern.

[but with ballygalget struggling as much this year is it a forgone conclusion or is that writing them off too early?]

Antrim / Re: Antrim Hurling

Last post by johnnycool - Today at 04:11:54 PM

I know county players can throw results off abit but even at that

Loughguile minus james & ballycastle minues boydy id usually fancy loughguile strongly

Similarly dunloy even without county players still field a strong 15 that id expect to beat st endas

Usually youd expect the so called weaker sides to fight to squeeze into the top half to guarantee safety but with ballygalget struggling as much this year is it a forgone conclusion or is that writing them off too early?

No, you're bang on. When some of our better players are 17 and 18yo's says it all.

Not much word about this group yet!

Do Tyrone have the likes of Harte and Meyler coming back?

I'm assuming Kilpatrick is fully fit now?
