Scandalous how that wasn't a black card and a penalty for Tyrone.
Ridiculous. Are these referees assessed on these games? He needs coaching on the rules.

And he doesn't want to manage in the Championship.Quote from: seafoid on June 14, 2023, 02:50:24 PMWhy would it be?Quote from: BrotherMore6592 on June 14, 2023, 02:46:24 PMIt's probably his last management stint. The business is ruthless
Great for Celtic , much better than Lennon IMHO but a giant step back for BR after being at Liverpool and Leicester.
It's like managing Dortmund and say Moenchengladbach in the German league now he's with some minnow outfit in Eastern Europe that romps their league or only has one competitor every year.

The two lads last night came to the conclusion that Tyrone are the strongest Ulster team left in the AI series.
The same Tyrone team that have won one championship game since 2021 and were beaten by both Derry and Armagh last year.
Except the 6 points you beat them by last year in the Championship and the 11 Derry did!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A5_road_(Northern_Ireland)
In 2007 the cost was estimated at £560 million. This estimate was revised upwards to £650–850 million in November 2008, £844 in August 2009 and then reached £1.049 billion in October 2016.[1] This will be both the longest and most expensive single road scheme ever undertaken in Northern Ireland.
The Republic of Ireland was meant to contribute €460 million of the cost. However, in May 2011 the Republic's Taoiseach Enda Kenny called for the project to "look at making savings".[5] And in November 2011 the Republic announced that it could not make its £400 million contribution to the project.[6]
Latest estimate is £1.6bn. When the Celtic Tiger was in full flow the Irish Government was flúirseach and a full dual carriageway was proposed. But the A4 has a mix of dual and single carriageway with overtaking places. Surely the A5 could be built similar to the A4 and the complainants bought off.

The only one I would consider getting is the Audi E-Tron as it looks decent. The rest of them are wild looking. You'd want to drive around in disguise in case someone saw you.
When the public see them for the gimmick they are, the 5% of the population who drive them will start to desert. There is the dirty mining process involved in the manufacturing of the batteries and the fact we still burn coal and oil to generate the electricity to charge the things.

I picked up my new T-Roc diesel from our local VW dealer yesterday. I asked the sales rep if they were selling many electric vehicles. He said almost zero.
Well now in fairness, Nordies wouldn't be know for their forward thinking outlook.

RTE showing it live! Maybe I should post this in the WTF section?
Why though? It's a moment in history that will have many people on this island glued, the same as the Queens funeral. Whether we like it or not a large portion of people in Ireland are heavily influenced by and interested in what happens across the water. You don't have to agree with it not to be interested in it.

Who is to blame here. Surely Sinn Fein can get more done on this??? F*CK we hear more about casement than this road!!!
It's a microcosm of NI. A complete failure in politics by all the parties, government and Civil Servants. Nothing is ever done. Nothing is ever achieved.
Muddying the waters and ignoring the real reason for the delays. Things can get done. Other roads are done routinely. This project has not gotten off the ground purely as a result of obstruction by the 'Alternative A5 Alliance' group of landowners, and they should not be let off the hook like that when we get tragedies like todays.
As the Tyrone County Board noted at the launch of their 'A5: Enough is Enough' launch in January:Quote
The A8 road scheme between Belfast and Larne started in May 2008 and was completed in December 2016. That was 7 years, 6 months and 25 days from beginning to end.
If the A5 had been delivered in a similar timeframe 22 of the A5 deaths might well have been avoided. At the current rate at least another 4 deaths will occur on the A5 in 2023.
Sadly it seems at least one of those 4 deaths has now occurred already. Who'd realistically expect the number to only reach 4 by the end of this year?
Put them blame squarely where it f**king belongs.
I agree the AA5A have been the road blocking organisation but with correct political oversight and a proper run civil service this should already have been built. Like you said other roads get built and you think nobody is objecting to them?
I should say that I spoke with Nicola Mallon when she ran the Infrastructure department and the goings on was ridiculous. They wouldn't agree to anything. Everything needed another meeting. At times they held meeting before and after meeting her with no minutes. The carry on was of a group of people trying to keep their jobs while doing very little work. Health and Infrastructure were the last two portfolios picked the last time D'Hondt was run. There's a reason for that.
Sorry, but the blame for that lies squarely with their boss... who was Nichola
When the project was announced and agreed Conor Murphy (SF) was the minister. Danny Kennedy (UUP), Michelle McIlveen (DUP) and Chris Hazard (SF) have all held the post. Do they not all share blame?
Furthermore - it is not lazy to blame the CS and ministers. The land had already went through a compulsory purchase and in the New Buildings area had been fenced off in preparation of the road starting (roughly 2014 / 15 from memory). Why was that done if the road was still undergoing a legal challenge?
Incompetence has dogged the project. CS shitheads who would be completely unemployable in the private workplace.
And how did the erection of a bit fencing delay the road? Your claim was that the road would be complete by now were it not for the incompetence of politicians and civil servants, which is a wholly stupid thing to say. The delay have been down to the succession of legal challenges by the morally bankrupt AA5A group. Are you suggesting that politicians and civil servants should have cracked on with the construction and ignored the legal procedures they are bound by?
