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?]

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?

Square Ball not only do you never hear of anyone you know winning but you never hear or see who wins at all.
Months and months of build up to a draw and then when the draw happens......nothing.
It's a bit like the clubs who post about all their games but only put up results when they win lol

Ah now they all have legit winners just wondering if anyone had any luck over the years on the board.

Neighbour of mine won a house from a club draw, that was over 23 years ago, needless to say they moved back to
Magheralin I think she was from, though he was Newtownabbey, would have been a strange place for him to move to lol

For some clubs staying in Div 1 is the be and end all, winning the odd group game in championship is a bonus or competing with the big three is improvement.

But come championship is different entirely
