I saw that, some howler by the umpire.

Also at the conclusion of the same game, a Cork player was through on goal just outside the penalty area and was taken out by the defender. There was no black card or penalty given. I assume they are not given at under 20 level. Cork pointed the free.

Tipp went straight down the field and scored the winning point. Cork had a lot of wides. They left it behind them.

Cork had too many wides, especially in the second half.

'Goal' for Cork was poor by the umpire. Should there be a lad watching the game on a tv in a room to tell the ref. ..kind of VAR?  That was a clear goal at a crucial time in a Munster Final

With that and minors winning Munster, Tipp are not too bad off. Like Kilkenny and Cork, they'll always have the hurlers.

Just looking at a few posts above, the rule about a player coming off/physio on seems to have passed by the wayside.

wonder would sdlp look at south down and think we have a chance
weren`t too far away last time

I'd say the gap has grown since the last time. Who's going to stand that would make a difference?

probably right, i am simply looking to see which constituencies could there be a shock.
 SF have a slicker operation but chris Hazard has fallen away, a few years ago he was front and centre of a fair bit of SF publicity.


 

I've said this before. MPs in Westminister don't make a difference in reality.

Out of sight, out of mind. SF do the right thing.

I'd say, as a quiz, it'd be hard to name the 18 MPs from the north. Unless you're a political anarok. Stormont is local and in the news a lot more.

If you look at ni question time in London, there's about 5 people at it. Nobody cares.  Only people interested in being an MP is someone like the SDLP's Richie and unionists like Dodds etc. who want to get a title bestowed on them after their time in up.  That's what the senior DUP members are after - Paisley and Campbell.

Granted, people will vote in huge numbers but ultimately it's pointless.

Report into the potential of Casement Park.

There is, as far as I'm aware, no evidence of this gang rape/mass rape thing. Its also pretty much accepted that Israel shot up a large amount of their own people. If they gave a damn about hostages they would gave negotiated their release, instead they carpet bombed civilian areas. You need to think of Israel as Nazis to understand the evil you are dealing with here.

I have no doubt that Israel wilfully murder and starve Palestinians - it's clear from their actions.

Though hasn't the ICC also accepted that Hamas fighters used sexual violence? I'd imagine they must have seen evidence before stating such.

Well there is that one clip of the girl getting dragged out of the Jeep by the hair-can't imagine what horrors she suffered

Has that story been debunked recently? Is that the one with the girl with blood of her trousers?

Didn't the IDF recently release videos of this same girl who was kidnapped with her hands tied behind her back and they were bleeding?

they (zionists and supporters) also reposted it all over social media qith mis translation of what was said in the video.

Correct - by releasing the video they were caught out.

Zionist liars.

If i'm in different place and stopped in a shop/garage and there would be a £1 or £2 euro lotto, I'd do it occasionally.

Still waiting in hope for that phonecall the following mid-week. 

Tradition my Ar** Im my lifetime I have seen Offaly winning their first football in 1971 and first hurling in 1981 Clare winning in 1998 their second one first one in 1914 they had no tradition behind them but that didn't stop them it's no coincidence that Offaly have won a football under 20 and appeared in a minor and under 20 twice since Duignan became chairman. If the right people are at the top anything is possible but with clowns in charge all your have is a circus

I think the work was done before MD cam in. He just added to it.

They are a small county, but are in a good location in the midlands.  For both football and especially hurling.

That's a huge help.

My prediction for this election in the North is that Nationalists will outpoll Unionists. This happened for first time ever at the local elections last year.  The trend cannot be reversed and Unionists will never outpoll Natiobalists ever again,  including in a Unity Referendum.

They should but may also be giving up a few percentage points to help Farry in North Down and Long in East Belfast, whereas Unionists will step aside to help another Unionist and overall won't give up Unionist percentages.

I wonder, for all the talk of infighting within unionism currently, will they come together and have a pact?

Cork Echo doing the sums.

Basically KK through whatever happens but a real battle for the other two spots.

Be interesting to see who's in the Leinster Final.

Wexford have had Kilkenny's no. this past few years BUT KK had already qualified for the Leinster Final.

This is a bit different.

I'm surprised Joe has never went into management. I remember he was very critical of the club in Belfast who he was going to take and they went for thr 'paid' option, iirc?

You'd think he get a gig somewhere. Maybe too many plates on the go with his job, podcast and writings etc. 

The young Offaly fans are mad to get on the field to celebrate.

Got a replay in '98, could have cost a win tonight. Thankfully it didn't. Great win

Was there ordinary time still to be played?

I suspect the Leinster council, nor the Portlaoise officials expected such a crowd and were short on stewards.

They'd have known from all the tickets sold on-line.

Huge Offaly crowds follow their U20 teams. O'Moore Park next door to Offaly basically.

Screeny is some operator. Class act.

I'd say he'll still stand. Another few years on the gravy train.

The timing is interesting for the DUP.

There'll be some protests with Jamie and Jim at the band parades up until the election.  It'll be all against the DUP sell-out and sea border.

Is Campell's seat a safe one for him? It could be an interesting election. A good few postal votes with people on holidays also.

Seems a lot of Tory MPs aren't happy with his decision.

Great stuff. Let the slaying begin.

Do a lot do their draw on Facebook live?

who decided England are favourites

Rio Ferdinand.

Hope he isn't involved in any coverage across bbc/itv think everyone needs the summer off. 

No summer off for him or a few others.
