When Limerick took the lead and got to 4 points ahead I thought Cork were goners. However Cork clung on and got to within striking distance and Kingston and Horgan did the rest.

I had the p20 years ago. It was a great phone. Huawei could really have taken over large parts of the western market if not for the Google ban. I'm a suckered for new tech and currently have the excellent zfold5. I realise that this type of phone wouldn't be for everyone though.

I'd agree with Gallsman. If you want a good camera phone but not at the price of the top spec Samsung galaxy ultra, then go for a pixel.

Disappointing result, beaten by a very good team.  We would have needed nearly 90% conversion to stay in touch, and far better on our own kickouts. 
As the game went on, Tyrone were deadly clinical on the breaks, and we were getting caught between two stools between trying to push up, and then leaving acres of space for Tyrone to send in ball.
Fair play to Tyrone,  some fine players.  Best of luck in the final.

Babs Keating Says Hurling Should Break Away From Croke Park and "Run Their Own Organisation"

"I'm saying it loud and clear, the first thing hurling counties should do is break from Croke Park and run their own association".
(Babs Keating)

"but more than anything he finds himself growing increasingly concerned about the state of the GAA; where it's going, what it stands for, who it represents".

"I'm saying it loud and clear, the first thing hurling counties should do is break from Croke Park and run their own association".

No intercounty activity in August or September, the tinkering with the age grades and what he sees as the ostracisation of older people by the GAA, none of it sits well with him.  And then there's hurling.

"Hurling is treated as a second-class citizen and it's never going to get enough support in the current arrangement, because football dominates in terms of votes. Hurling counties should go out on their own and do so immediately."

Quote from: From the Bunker on Today at 08:38:52 PMIsrael are 2nd favourites to win. It would be some mess if they do! Can you imagine the pressure on various national broadcasters not to send a representative?

I was thinking that too.

Maybe the best  thing other than everyone Not Voting for Israel , is everyone voting for them. So  loads of  countries  can all boycott is when they stage it next year (unlikely though. Maybe  only a few would).

Name calling and insults will get a ban for a few days.

Last warning for Itchy in particular.
