Griffiths and Gordon crocked. FFS.
Good news, Musonda on loan from Chelsea for 18 months.

Some scrappy play in Dubs, Offaly game but some very good scoring. Currams with the standout long ranger, great goal from Dublin, Bergin with 6 first half points as Offaly have a handy lead at half time.

Heads up for anyone outside Ireland, Free Sports Sky channel 424 is showing Dublin v Offlay and Cork v Kilkenny tonight.

Better 2nd half and fully deserved to win but can't understand why Rodgers won't start Griff, he made the difference when introduced, on the Dembele issue I'd be very surprised if he's not sold, 2 games in a row he's not been used

Griffiths said it himself after the match, he's had an injury. Dembele may be sold but I think it's more about attitude.

Very poor first half, Lustig's now a liability, at least Griff's on now

Glimpses in the second half of an improvement in performance. Don't see why we play 4 at the back against Thistle or the like. Much better when Lustig went off, his legs look gone.

Thought it was ok and would give it a go to start with but think each episode so far has been poorer then the previous one. Last night's one however want just poor, it wasn't even original. Piss in the church straight from Peep Show, crying Virgin Mary from Only Fools, your one on the energy drinks for an exam from the Inbetweeners etc

Did she shit herself? I must have missed that bit.


I thought it was quite good, granted it's not Fr Ted or some of the other comedies people are comparing it to, but watchable all the same.

Some lads with large pokers up their holes on here.

She didn't, but that's not the point. I just don't think it's that original or funny. No poker up my hole either.

The principal nun is the best character, both written and acted, in the show by far for me.

It's okay, just but fills a half hour later at night as a wind down. Agree about the nun.
However, originality on TV ended in 1980 something. Everything is a rehash or rip off of something else now.

It's marmite lads. 

But with the majority of the people on the thread enjoying it, it wouldn't take a genius to work out that our Tony would have an opposing view.  The wee skitter.

Personally I like it.  But if I didn't, I'd probably read a book or watch something else or go to sleep instead.

And probably not feel the need to continually post that you don't like it.

Ramore restaurant, ice cream, Barry's and the beach! Other than that it's a shithole

What has Rome ever done for us?
Kelly's night club, not sure if it's still going. Top class golf also.
But apart from all those things, what does Portrush having going for it?
Right enough, it's a shithole.

Have no knowledge of Portrush at all. Went on a school trip once, that was it. During the troubles, we got the feck out of the North. Usually to Donegal. Holidays in the North was and still is alien to me.

Donegal not in the North?

Is that you, Taylor?

Maybe if you had visited Barrys' Amusements and had an ice cream in Morelli's Italian ice cream parlour you would have had a broader outlook in life.

And amazing beaches and surfing. Practically Gold Coast like facilities.

Kevin McAleer was hilarious   :D

Brilliant. No better man to play that cameo   ;D

Seemed like that part was all him, no script. Hilarious.

Robertson MOTM.

Ox not at the races!

Dream start for the new Man!

Was impressed with Robertson. Thought his defending was a weakness, although not perfect tonight, he has improved massively. What a rise. Released by Celtic for being too small, signs for Queens Park and 4/5 years later he's holding his own in that company. Impressive indeed.

I thought it was decent - some funny lines in it and would appeal to an age group who grew up in that Era.  General consensus in office I work in was positive as well - its not Peep show, Fr Ted, Fawlty Towers funny but I would rate it better in the first 10 mins than anything Ive seen in Mrs Browns Boys which is one of the cringiest shows I've ever watched

Thought it was decent too but why compare it to Fr Ted, Fawlty Towers or Peep Show. Those are classic sitcoms which have probably gained greater popularity with time. Will watch next time to give it a chance.

Mon Tyrone. Get wired into them Saffron hoors. Totally sick of their whining about the '46 semi v Kerry.

Eff aff you red hand,Johnny come lately, wannabes. Just jealous of our historical greatness. A few years of relative success doesn't trump our history.  :P

From a twitter account.

"ncluding Internationals, Kieran Tierney has played more minutes (3,607) in 17/18 than any other outfield player in any European top tier league. That equates to 40 full matches in 169 days, or 1 game every ~4 days since July. Only Craig Gordon (3,780) has played more minutes. Broony (3,220 minutes) and Lustig (3,137 minutes) are next up, before you even get to the first non-Celtic player on the list, Salzburg's Valon Berisha (2,984 minutes) - that's 7 games worth less than Tierney has played. Given what we expect from our full backs - a bombing up and down the wing for 90 minutes - and how important it is to our style of play, Tierney and Lustig have played way too much football so far this season. Incidentally, Forrest (2,678) and Sinclair (2,598) are the next Celtic players.

Mourinho was talking about how tired Lukaku was. Tierney has played 8.5 more games than him so far."

Stark reading and a major issue for Celtic as next year we have an extra qualifying round in CL (hopefully).

Celtic possibly tired but for me McGregor, Lustig and Forrest need replacing. None of them are good enough.

You must be basing your opinion on one game because Forrest has been a standout for us this season.
This was Celtic's 38th competitive game of the season. Lustig just needs a rest. McGregor is a good squad player but should only be a starter occasionally.
