Allianz, a sponsor of the football Championship, are insurers of an Israeli weapons manufacturer.  Petition to get the GAA to end the association with them.

You are probably using software in your computer/phone that has been produced in Israel to send this message

Indeed. If it's so self-evident, why is the orange god-king rolling it out using bald-faced lies and distortions about how the US is supposedly getting screwed by tariffs imposed on them by other nations? As with the brainless demolition of the federal government Musk is simultaneously undertaking, most people would probably be receptive to a studied, well-thought-out restructuring, but that's not what we're getting on either front. Instead, it's thoughtlessly and recklessly taking aim with a blowtorch on a system that the world, and in the case of the government, the country, is dependent on.

It's a pretty major indictment of the US in general, and the Republic party specifically, that a single man can unleash his deluded ideas with such consequence. I read someone who compared it to Stalin (and Mao's) rejection of mainstream genetic science in favour of basing their agricultural programs on the misguided and ill-founded pseudoscience of Lysenko, resulting in massive famines for their populations.

Well, with it being the obese capital of the world, a famine wouldn't do much harm

Was at an underage game yesterday and the referee appeared to bring a sideline in 50m when the ball wasn't handed back to the opposition. Anything I have read suggests that the 50m penalty only applies to a player fouled.
In this instance the defending team ran the ball over the line and walked off with the ball didn't hand it back and delayed the sideline - my understanding is that at most it is the 13m penalty.
Does anyone know if the 50m penalty is applicable for sideline balls?
From watching the match, it will be practically impossible for referees to spot the 4/3 up infringements. With a full forward on the goal line and two corner forwards stretched wide, you needed to do a full scan of the pitch to count players. Although both teams did try and police themselves, I can see it being a bit more contentious come championship matches.

The ref did give a clear signal for the one two pointer scored, but no scoreboard in action so no chance it could be wrong.

If he stopped the player from taking the sideline then move it forward 50 meters (but would need to confirm it), players for a sideline don't have to had the ball back to the player. Why didn't the player just drop the ball after carrying it over? Was there any verbal? which would have given the ref another reason to move the ball..

Its a good question with regards to that though

When the rules are new like this, there isn't a referee in the country that is going to be up to scratch, so best advice is don't give the ref an opportunity to second guess his call

As for score boards, only one score counts and that's the one in his book, three games in and I've had to correct the scoreboard 3 times at half time

You can't have a station that doesn't have a train that goes to Dublin directly.. I've been through it several times it's pretty good and modern in comparison to many stations in other cities

Mick Nesbit is turning (physically) into Wee Jeffery !

Liam neeson is going to play lieutenant Frank drebben (spelling) in a reboot of naked gun.... I still hope that's an April fools...

Surely you can't  be serious?

I am, and stop calling me Shirley

PGMOL apology in the post...nice of them

For the offside?

For the leg breaker by Tarkowski

Still in hospital?

For a referee you have a very poor grasp of rules.

Don't do soccer (it's for softies) but he seemed to win the ball and clattered the man.. play on

Is the plus side not that it will end up being more than just Oisins as there are no other teams for a good few miles about so there'll be more of a player pool?

Glenravel & Cloghmills only a few miles up the road

Would they not fall into Moneyglass's parish 😉

Bottom of the article says it was moved to make way for a tram line

No word on U20 Game tonight?

Were you at it? 5 goals is a lot to let in.. Down be better than Fermanagh and Antrim traditionally

That was as bizarre set up I've ever seen, thought I was watching paddy power at Cheltenham

I was very aware of all things Stakeknife but some of the interviews with the family members is a tough one, so different and how they had to deal with aftermath of their families involvement and searching for the truth after it.

I knew the girl that was killed a couple weeks before the ceasefire, I was away that summer came home to hear that she had been killed and dumped on the border, I remember the atmosphere among that group of friends, dirty dirty war.

The FRU agent pretending he was a journalist with Channel 4 ringing the head army lad and recording everything.

Then he said he was recording the lad from the BBC Sounds team who was recording him. 

He was a proper scamp! So many lost lives
