Canning went for goal from 20 yards but missed.

Happened me many's the time....

Authorities are expanding their search to investigate groups with a history of making large scheduled passenger vehicles vanish without a trace. Dublin Bus are believed to be among the main suspects.

Kildare are in bother, even if they catch Kerry on points, the head to head thing would demote them.
Probably two Leinster counties to be demoted to be replaced by two Ulster counties.

Lapis will find it hard going away to Monaghan, but might get something from Down. They might need both points though, a draw might only put them on the same points as Armagh, who beat them on the head to head.

What's with the racist abuse? Not enough to call us as thick as rocks? You have to call us as thick as Afghanistani rocks?
If Galway beat Armagh, Leix draw to Down and we all lose the other game then we'll all finish on 5 points, thus making your head to head shenanigans invalid! You may have the edge on the score difference depending on how badly we all lose the other game.

Lapis is a valuable product, worth more than turf anyway.

Presently, Armagh has no score difference, so it is important to ensure that Galway do not beat us by much in case this 5 point thing comes about. Monaghan might well affect the score difference of Galway and Laois in quite an adverse way.

Are there any MAS 777s out there?

Good work by Derry, determined defence,  no Lundies there.

Derry playing well.

There are loads of ships etc searching, but some indication of motive and so destination would make the search possible.

Let's go back to the two non-terrorists on the stolen passports...

These guys were in the asylum seeking class, quite the opposite of your average terrorist.

If the plane turned north after crossing to the Straits of Malacca, it could carry on over sea and maybe land in Myamnar.

The tricolour is the flag of the Irish nation,  it is also used by the State containing the larger part of that nation. St Patrick's day isn't about the state, it is about the nation.

Nope, the tricolour is the flag of one - the 26 county part - of the Irish nation. It is not the flag of the entire country. We don't have a 32 county flag yet.

The tricolour flies in all parts of Ireland and will be used to represent the Irish nation throughout the world on St Patrick's day.
As I said, the fact that a political state representing most Irish people also use it does not change this.

French try a bit GAA like!

I reckon this is overstated, acting the maggot in the street is not culture and one would hope that people playing baseball, cricket or rugby would be treated the same.

The only slightly worrying phrase in the above is " playing hurling in a mixed area". If mixed area means people with young children who are trying to sleep then fair enough, but if there is an implication that you can play soccer in the street but that hurling is politically unacceptable then there is an issue here.

Such is the Stockholm syndrome of many in the sick counties that  they would think it "provocative" to act as people do everywhere else in the world on St Patrick's day
