If he would focus on stuff like that, I'd have zero issue with him.

That's not why he was selected, however.
Only seen bits and pieces online where he talks about the shite food quality tbh. Don't know a whole pile more about him

Have they identified the "safe areas in Ukraine"?

What have they said now?

Hardly anything too mad..

Which 'safe' part of Ukraine would you bring your family to for a weekend break?
Not sure where it mentions Ukraine in that article?

Anyway, the bulk of Ukraine is safe ffs.

See the RUC scum in full force manhandling women today at queens. Why that warmongering yoke Clinton is allowed near the place is a joke

Quote from: SouthOfThe Bann on November 14, 2024, 04:07:31 PMShould the Donegal Hurling Champions not be in the Ulster Senior Hurling Championship this year since they won intermediate last year or how does that work?


Yes unless rule has changed. Middletown won Ulster intermediate and had to go to senior for a certain number of years afterwards.

Quote from: lurganblue on November 14, 2024, 11:32:24 AMMary Lou on the Brolly podcast worth a listen, if interested.  Dion tries the old, but the IRA chat... and Brolly does some amount of waffling.

Funny enough I was listening to some commentary on the US election and they said that Trump got on a lot of podcasts all over America during the previous months.

That's how he got through to 'mainstream' people.

He got his word out that way and it worked.


Think I heard somewhere that his Joe Rogan podcast got 14 million downloads.  Definitely the way to get a message across these days.  I'm convinced these TV debates sway about a half a dozen voters.
Slimy hole went on the 2 Johnnies last week trying to do the same but hopefully anyone with half a brain saw through his waffle and lies.

Hopefully they get Mary Lou on to be balanced.

Quote from: Ciarrai_thuaidh on November 09, 2024, 08:57:14 PMNaas never in control there and a general lack of smarts and poor decisions cost them. Too many lumped kickouts and shuffling backwards for example.

I said it before.

In a lot of these tight club championship games, it don't come down to xperience or bttle or anything like that.

It's decision making.

Naas made very poor decisions in the last 10 mins.  So did St. Eunan's and so did Newbridge.

The games were tight certainly but Cuala,EC and Clann Éireann made the better decisions with the ball in the last 10 mins.
Which improves with experience.

Do you think so?
Ah without a doubt. And like I always say, at the highest level at times it comes down to a bit of luck and the rub of the green when teams are evenly matched.

Naas, at Leinster Club level, are/should be more experienced that Cuala.

St. Eunan's, at Ulster Club level, are more experienced that EC.

CÉ and Newbridge a 50/50 game in terms of experience.

Luck has got nothing to do with it unfortunately. Good decisions makers in last 10 mins got them teams over the line.

Cargin are as experienced s anybody in the Ulster club run with KOB, MMC and TMC etc. but on Sunday, that experience counted for nothing.  I don't believe the mantra that you need to 'lose win to win one' either.   

Not all the times in general but 90%, it's the players/team that make good decisions wins the game in tight games.
CE had two games at Ulster senior in 2021 so the majority of that team would have had that experience in Ulster. 

There would not have been the level of celebrations in CE this year as they hadn't won a senior in 60 plus years. CE would have been happy with their lot in 2021 too as they were something like 33/1 shots with bookies to win Armagh before the competition started.  Newbridge were in similar boat this year, 35 years without a senior championship and by all accounts went hard on the beer.  First time winners rarely make the grade in Ulster as they have reached the holy grail to an extent by winning their own championship. 

Newbridge preparation was certainly hampered by the celebrations there wouldn't been 3/4 days drinking done ahead of the Magherafelt or Glen games anyway. Did they run out of steam in last 10 minutes? The game was a free hit for Newbridge in a way, I would have thought the decision making would have been more likely to be compromised in Derry county final as Glen were such overwhelming favourites? If your club hasn't won in 35 years the nerves of getting over the line/monkey off your back would be greater than a first round Ulster club game when the outcome is irrelevant to a degree as you have had a great season regardless of result.



CE done a fair amount of celebrating this year also
Without a doubt, especially with who they beat!

How much celebrating would Kilcoo/Scotstown do now after the county final given they've won so many?

Quote from: brokencrossbar1 on November 13, 2024, 01:26:51 PMAll games in Ulster have to be played at a designated county ground so the likes of Dungannon,  irrespective of the convenience, would never be an option. Armagh could have an option if EC agreed,  we played  Scotstown there a few years back in the Ulster Semi. 

Newry the logical option all being equal

Some fan you are .. was a final

Finals, semi finals ....all blur into one sometimes!

I suppose it was that long ago ... busy on the field ... if only yous were vetting your members
WTF..
