I normally do stop myself tbh  (as i wearily see the same sorta comments on the Celtic thread), didn't think it was controversial tho.

its a new level of low if they are stalking peoples social media profiles to use for sledging porposes.

This isn't a new thing and it's certainly not specific to Kilcoo, nor Down.

One of our lads was targeted a good few years back against a South Derry team about his ma, girlfriends títs etc etc obviously from SM, it didn't end there and followed on to the Hatfield later that night, but the lad in question got his comeuppance on the Monday morning and wasn't so brave when it was a one-on-one.

Loose lips cause teeth to get knocked out and all that!

Easily solved in this day and age, equip each player with a microphone.

Camera vests like 👮� 🚓 👮�

Sarcasm, in case Puckoon is reading.

Yeah, I read it repeatedly. Still not sure what you're actually saying in regards to McIlroy.

To spell it out for you - if he'd played GAA / Soccer in an actual genuine 'derby' context he'd know what a real rivalry is - not a contrived one like the Ryder Cup.

This league is beyond a joke. How can Celtic fans take themselves seriously celebrating these "titles"

Do you have some sort of quota to meet for the number of times you drop into this thread to declare your lack of interest in it?

He's the Bantz king

[Why does he need his outlook on life changed? Strange comment]

Golf is one of the few sports i cant really warm to, the Ryder Cup 'competitive' element just seems so contrived when you follow sports where hair & teeth are flying regularly. Mcilroy obviously gets so wound up about it all, a few derby slaps when younger might have changed his outlook on life, tho I'm sure he's quite happy with his current life trajectory.

If you've ever stood over a putt that means anything at all (particularly in a team game) and had to make it for the win or tie, it's the emotional equivalent of teeth and hair flying inside you. It's a silent hatred against the opponent for that period of time where you simply want to stomp someone who may be your best mate into the ground on the scorecard. Just because it doesn't end up all Kilcoo and Clonduff doesn't take away from the competitive edge. Just look at the amount of people driven to cheating to win.

I can't imagine the pressure to have a putt to win or to not lose the Ryder Cup.

It doesn't, as alluded to in the very next sentence.

The wizard of Oz Retired.
What a player, remember being at his debut against Dundee united don't think anyone would have guessed the career he would go on and have.

A modern great. All the best Tam

His retirement statement was a lovely read. He'll always be Celtic's John McEntee to me

Yip, I defend the Lions tours every 4 years

The best attempt at breaking into a 'new' market by any sports is soccer in the USA, it looks like its eventually gaining a genuine foothold after numerous attempts going back to the 70s, but it's still far from being the top dog. The US has the obvious attraction of mucho money & a huge population - Portugal, Romania, Georgia and most other T2 nations have neither. I'd say the IRB would much rather see Germany make a real fist of it more than the more established T2 sides. But as has mentioned numerous times, culture is hugely important, Italy can't make the final push to be a Top T1 side because soccer rules the roost.

I don't see any genuine change coming in Rugby tbh, maybe Italy produce a once in a generation side that can win a 6 Nations title to get some genuine momentum but highly unlikely. Introducing D1 & D2 6 nations with the jeopardy of relegation / promotion has to worth an experiment but won't happen either.

Surprised they never stuck with him, they're like the Tories atm, lurching from one  binfire disaster to the next

Slow horses is excellent ok. Couldn't warm to bad sisters at all and that would normally be my sorta thing. Ted Lasso is the biggest bag of shite, anybody other than Jason Sudekis in the lead and that show sinks without a trace.

I have 90 days free Apple+ TV.
I have watched (and enjoyed) Hijack.  Is there anything else worth watching on the platform?

If you like Sci Fi, Foundation is excellent (s2 just over). Also sci fi, The Silo, started strong, ended ok.

Morning show for a TV show related drama is pretty good.

Watched S1 of Top Boy after giving up on it b4, stuck with itthis time & thoroughly enjoyed it. I couldn't watch it without subtitles. 2 seasons to go.

When you strip them all down, they're generic nonsense, same story churned out in different cultures.

Cross have probably got their annual championship kick up the arse warning now and will knuckle down and push on up through the gears. I thought Madden the most impressive team of the quarter winners and will give Cross all they want tho. I didn't see our performance v Cross coming tbh, I was a bit fearful but a lot of credit due to all involved as we're just not as strong as recent years. Clans,  a team & club definitely on the up and certainly won't fear Clann Eireann but a year or 2 too early imo to go all the way.

The line out was poor, in the first half, especially early on.

Now I'm no expert but what was the issue? Was it the lad throwing it or was it the lads mistiming their jumps....or a bit of both.

You'd think the lad should be able to throw the ball correctly. Is it a difficult thing to do? Just, to me, seems a simple enough and regular skill.

He seemed to go long for a few at the start and overcooked it.  Would he not have been better to just keep it simple and go short and not overcomplicate it by throwing it further?

Rugby heads will correct me I'm sure. 

One of the best teams in the world targeting it with ferocious intensity certainly a factor.
