So, big Jeffrey  was lying back in January about the Irish Sea border  being removed (as  anyone with  half a brain cell knew)

Robinson yesterday confirmed  this.

I 'm not sure why they  would  admit  this with an election coming? Surely this will  send many  of their  voters to the TUV (or other parties)?

Not only that , but Robinson stood with Jeffrey in January knowing what he was  saying was a lie.  Can unionist voters trust a word he (or the DUP) says again?

Is this the end of the DUP?

Not a chance. They've changed their tune because there's an election in the offing. It's a joke.

Giving out about the thing they signed up for to go back into Stormont. Now he's saying we need to look at it again - embarrassing.

Election mode.

I said this before but some MLA should tackle this head on and go to town on these clowns.

Call all the heads of insurers into a committee meeting and grill the f&"k out of them.

Complete rip off.

SF not standing in Belfast East, Belfast South and Mid Down, Lagan Valley and North Down.
Another few votes for Alliance to stop the DUP.

Are the SDLP standing in any of these?

This is the type of candidate that SF are 'going after' now I think.  Moving away, to a certain extent, from the old guard. Pat is new blood, if you pardon the pun!

If she is successful, would she go down the route of Health Minister at some stage? She would have a better knowledge that most of this portfolio.

Maybe some long term planning here but needs to get elected first obviously.

Snapchat might know more?

Bet there are a few Sinn Fein members pissed off in FST tonight who have worked their @@@@@ off the past few years and hoping that maybe they would in with a shout of being selected .............

I wouldn't think so.

DUP won't stand in FST official

Didn't stand in 2019 did they?

Who is standing?

In the event that two teams or more finish with equal points, but have been affected by a disqualification, loss of game on a proven objection, retirement or walkover, the tie shall be decided by the following means:

(i) Least number of Walkovers given.
(ii) Score Difference from the games in which only the teams involved, (teams tied on points), have played each other (subtracting the total Scores Against from the total Scores For)
(iii) Highest Total Score For, in which only the teams involved have played each other, and have finished equal in (ii)
(iv) Highest Total Goals For, in which only the teams involved have played each other, and have finished equal in (ii) & (iii)
(v) A Play-Off

From opening page on this thread. Fair chance we lose to Derry and beat Galway and everyone beats Westmeath. In that case score difference only from the games between us, Derry and Galway would come into it. 

Thanks Armagh18.

It's almost impossible now for Derry to top the group. Even if Derry beat Armagh, and Armagh beat Galway, the fact we lost by 5 means we're more than likely gonna miss out on top spot on score difference. We probably have to beat Armagh by at least 6 and that just isn't going to happen realistically.

In the event of teams finishing on equal points in a Quarter-Final Group, the tie shall be decided by the following means and in the order specified:
(i) Where two Teams only are involved – the outcome of the meeting of the two Teams in the Group
(ii) Score difference – subtracting the total Scores against from the total Scores for.
(iii) Highest Total Score For
(iv) Highest Total Goals For
(v) A Play-Off

Presumably though Derry could also beat Westmeath by more than Armagh did.

What about 3 teams finishing on 4 pts?

Score difference?

Ok. I'm not sure.

3 teams on 4pts could be a possibility.

On current numbers, the Lib Dems will become the official opposition. First past the post is bollix.
Mind you some of the sitting Conservatives might retain their seats, owing to good local work and perhaps being remainers and anti Johnson, if there are any left.

LAB: 540 (+343)
CON: 29 (-347)
LIB: 46 (+38)
REF: 0 (-)
GRN: 2 (+1)
SNP: 12 (-36)

Is the SNP in for a tanking in Scotland?

Yeah, I think they'll lose about half their seats - I think they have about 44 at the moment.

They have lost some momentum since Salmond and Sturgeon were flying high.

Quite a close season signing by the Shinners...

She's been a member for years and years, would have been involved with canvassing and the like.

I get the impression that Unionists (and the media) have been blindsided by this.

I remember her saying that there should be a re-united Ireland as the health system would be a lot better...something like this?

3.30 throw in for Joe McDonagh with Leinster final at 6pm. Tickets €40.

There should be a good crowd in for that.

She seems lovely

Gangster of the highest degree.

Nice wee earner there.

FG European candidate livid with her I'd say. Do his chances a bit of harm you'd think and him knocking on the doors in Louth. 

Just what FG didn't need in the mouth of elections.

Get yourself a nice wee extension/renovation.

Gangsters.
