Where did Quinn go ? He was in it last week.

Is Johnston not on it but injured?

Six forwards in the forwards this week which is good to see. Hoping for no sweeper.

But all of this addtional "flexibility" results in your employer / our companies becoming less competitive.  I guarantee pre-Covid there was a lot less parenting able to be done during working hours.  This has to all result in / continue with higher costs for everything as we gradually get less productive combined with increased employer national insurance costs.

I find myself a lot more productive at home tbh. No commute time means people will do more work too. I find that with most people.

Belfast traffic has got really really shit. It seems to have coincided with new bus lanes about last July which usually have no buses in them might I add. Doing a longer commute with Belfast these days would be a nightmare.

There's a Loughgiel team photo from the 80s where they played a football match so they must have played some football once  ;D Cushendall I don't think would have it about the place.

It seems the same down the Ards peninsula. Anyone ever try starting football up in any of those clubs JC?

Trueblue you can get them on Amazon but a lot of them look quite clunky for running.

Running not much fun when you're unfit and takes a lot of patience to keep at it but worth it if you do...

In the latter years under Gleeson we were just better than those two. Never loads better but better. Based on that I think it's a good test of where Davy Fitz has us.

Realistically based on underage etc they should be beating us if we're honest but we seem to do a bit better at senior grade. However Westmeath will fancy themselves too. It'd be a game they'd be targeting.

Carlow are always the ones round that kind of level that we struggle more with.

Hughes has handled himself well. Hopefully he just doesn't bother responding. The fella has lost the plot.

What he did in MMA was remarkable tbh. No other MMA fighter ever made a name for themselves like him.

Then he turns into this. Like you say - it's sad to see. Loads of Irish supported him and he has turned them against him between this and various other things. Now he's just a disgusting individual with nothing positive to contribute to society and but for his money you would wonder where he would be now.

Hard to know where we are at at all. Dublin do have a habit of doing this to us away from home. I'm not sure we put it up to them much away from home.

Westmeath game a big one. If we can't stay in this division then with Down winning they'll maybe leapfrog us  :(  Early days though so hopefully we get a win this weekend.

McGregor has been using that kind of language since those riots etc and just grouped a northerner in with the way he talks about immigrants. A lot of it I imagine was reactionary and fuelled by any manner of substances. His race has been ran tbh. A has been. It is absolute car crash stuff how the man has went. He's one of those ones that if you looked at the news in the morning and read he was dead you wouldn't be surprised with the way he lives his life.

Armagh18 you used the word "dubious". I am not sure why you used that word for Tyson. Your explanation doesn't tally with your use of the word though fair enough.

What is the deal with people defending Tyson on rape and mcgregor on what he did? Tyson's rape conviction is dubious so it sounds like it doesn't count and "yer wan" is as bad as mcgregor? Seriously?

Tbf to him as big an eejit as he is I doubt he'd be doing this for money. He put a lot of work in in St Brigids Belfast (though I suspect has soured his name now). He will most likely do the work.
