Quite an entertaining match. Derry certainly stepped it up after half time.

I miss the predictions. Can we start a thread for weekend predictions, but without the effort of maintaining a league table of GAA Boarders? Or would that be pointless aye?

Does no harm to name and shame, whether it makes much difference is another thing but anyone who does this then good enough for them, no sympathy.

I remember years ago seeing such cases in our local paper with offenders named.

Did not realise SF had instructed DfC back in 2020 not to publish names anymore, fail to see the reasoning / agenda behind this.

I don't get why some  are so interested  in who claimed what.  Who cares?  Anyway, its  only loose change compared to the millions lost to  big businesses tax evasion. 

Naming them publicly, sure  it's no different to  someone in the paper for getting penalty points or  a speeding fine. It'll be  quickly forgotten about.  You'll be lighting the fire with  that  paper tomorrow

If it's so quickly forgotten about why bother to not name. Surely if it acts as some small disincentive it's worthwhile.

Social media means that naming frausters lasts a lot longer and can be disovered in seconds via a search.

In many cases shame is the biggest punishment.

I always wear my high-visibility vest in public. I wouldn't be seen without it.

When I'm leaving something in the back seat of my car and I throw my phone or keys into the front seat. They always bounce down the side of the car seat into that place where it is near impossible to retrieve anything.

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on February 09, 2025, 07:43:21 PMBlue line on TV today!! Fixable or need a new one?

Any best buys out there?

I can't help, but it always amused me when new televisions are adverstised on TV. Imagine seeing such as advert for a new TV on your old crap TV and thinking "Corr blimey, that's a great screen"

FFS, just play out a draw and then take it back to the Athletic Grounds.

Except for his driving, long irons, short irons, chipping and putting, Rory's game really resembles my own game.

I'm sure all the real dozy bimbos would never want to be associated with Liz "Pork markets" Truss.

I thought Rian did something similar last year too.
