Congrats to the Utd fans on here. Made City look ordinary. Nice finish to your season, after a lot of pain.

I presume that means they are in Europa League now? Probably could have done without that.

Ah, the group stages can be easy. Players now a days want to been seen in Europe rather than hid away in their domestic leagues.

We made a lot of errors in that 2nd half which they punished.
They made very few.
2 weeks to prepare for Kerry and we'll see how it goes.
The 7 (or more!) games will certainly help in these lads' development as footballers and look forward to seeing them as u20s and some as County Seniors.
A lot of them from the smaller clubs, hopefully they can help make their clubs more competitive and give us some new nanes as Club Champions in the years ahead.

These lads are very young in the scheme of things - 16 and 17 year olds. I know plenty of lads who were fine footballers at this age and were not so good when senior level approached. In other cases some moved away from sport with Education, work, leisure activities, travelling and girlfriends taking center stage.

Naturally on the other side, there are a plethora on show tonight that will see very successful careers with their clubs and county.

I can understand provincial winners getting a home advantage first game but asking Ros to play Dublin and then a rested Mayo following Saturday is not a level playing field in the group stages. But then again sure that's nothing to be complainin' about - have you heard a Cork hurling game was not free to air and they had to watch on GAAGo? The tyranny.

There's no such thing as a level playing field in the group stages. Group stages are designed for the Dublin's and the Kerry's. After that it is made as hard as possible for the chasing few.

Episode 4 of Baby Reindeer was a rough watch.

All of Baby Reindeer was a rough watch.

On top of it all the Far Right have hijacked the Shinners monopoly of the Tri-Colour!

Kerry a lucky team to make the final. Made a very good Tyrone team look even better.

Did Man United make it into any of the European places?
Do they get the Europa League because they are in FA Cup Final?

Think they're out unless they win the FA Cup.

Who got Liverpool's League Cup European place?

Who get the Conference League Place?

Fergie won a league with 75 points in 1996–97. Newcastle were 2nd with 68. 

Have the top teams got better or have the lower teams got worse?

It's hard to know. Probably have. Arsenal and Liverpool also finished on 68 (in '96/97)

Fergie won a league with 75 points in 1996–97. Newcastle were 2nd with 68. 

Ole Gunnar Solskjær was their top scorer on 18.

Pep has a new Manager in Arteta to burn off every season. And eventually burn out!

Arsen stayed the pace... these young managers struggle nowadays

Arséne won his first title with 78 points. He would have finished 4th in this years League.

You win the league you win the league.. the points total league is that separate?

Nah, you win the League you win the League. But you have to admit it has turned into zero room for error.

Fair dues to Ciry they have opened the purse strings and upped the anti. It's up to the rest to catch up or be left behind, even if it is by 2 points. 

Regardless of how he arrived at the decision, the replay clearly shows that it was the correct one and that's all that matters.
Don't know what there is to yap about.

He was yapping that the 65 was not taken behind the 65 yard line! It was taken a yard inside it. He told the linesman and the 3rd official and they decided not to intervene. Still petty!
