Just for the record a half decent 6 nations and we are a top seed for the world cup. A terrible 6 nations could have us as a third rate team and possible group of death like Oz, England and Wales last time. Worth thinking about before we c**k up anymore.

Desperate on so many levels. Typical ireland couldnt close a game to save their lives. See how scotland stuffed the ball up their jumper calmly for 5 mins we can never do that always make a mistake or give away a penalty

QuoteStill pretty depressing reading for nationalists. Even including PBP and nationalist independents/others you are getting about 41% a figure nationaists have been stuck at for some 20 yrs. This demographic time bomb well and truly has been declared a hoax

nationalists 41% unionists 45% Others 13%
that's how it is going to be, except in the next election it will be nationalists 42% unionists 44% and so on.

the  demographic time bomb is still ticking. The 60+ aged people who are 60% unionist do turn out at elections, the 18-30 group do not turn out as well.

The DUP may lose out on transfers, the UU is a coalition of between true blues and others who might be annoyed both a RHI and Brexit and whose transfer will go to Alliance and the SDLP.

The important thing is that this will reduce the DUP to below 30, so no petitions of concern without others being involved. And there should be clear majority for common sense on Brexit, notwithstanding the looney left.

I agree with the logic however we had similar figures 20 yrs ago in fact at one election in the early noughties nationalism hit 45% so it quite clearly is stalling. There must be a hell of a lot of 90 yr old unionists voting. Of course in reality young catholics cant be arsed to vote or are voting for others in much greater numbers than protestants. Funny feeling when the numbers actually happen most so called nationalists wont care. Maybe brexit might give them the kick up the arse they need but not sure rampant sectarianism, racism, homophobia, corruption, incompetence etc etc doesnt seem to bother them so not very hopefull

Not signed up to sportsmania but can you use your login details on different boxes (not at the same time)

Yes, no problem at all.


I don't know how strictly they actually enforce the one amount usage at a time. The other night the girlfriend was using Sportsmania to watch something on channel 4 on our Fire TV and I was able to have Liverpool-Chelsea running on my phone.

Good stuff thanks for that

He loved ireland and felt irish. He wad gutted when he couldnt find any close links to the country on who do you think you are. His voice was great and featured in countless ads. He will be missed.

And I'm not mixed up in any way, I couldn't be clearer.  The people in the 3 parties I mentioned didn't want to know about the issue I had so I ruled out giving them my vote.  I don't see this as petty at all.  This sort of thing is what we pay elected representatives for and if they don't act on a request or show an interest in these issues then I won't vote for them.  And I'll state this again.  I didn't vote for a unionist candidate because the constitutional question is quite important to me.  I won't vote for someone whose views are completely opposed to mine on this.  What's difficult to understand or unclear about this?

If the constitutional issue is so important to you, then councillors running errands for you should not be superior to this. So you should vote for constitutionally sound candidates first, and then make sure the helpful UU guy gets the highest preference of any constitutionally unsound candidate.

Agreed. Its a bit like ultra Republicans refusing to take part in British elections, well im afraid any future referendum will only be called if nationalists get enough votes in a "British" assembly election so sitting on ones arse is counter productive.

I like the design of Pairc ui Chaoimh.
As to whether it should cost what it does, that's another thing.



The design is 30 years out of date
Dont believe me then voila
uncanny





Even if they roofed the terraces so there was some continuity it would help massively and also help bring the 'design' into the 18th century

Ok for the slow it doesnt matter if only 10% vote, that 10% will have a say for ALL OF US. You can spoil your vote if you want but what the f#ck will that achieve. DUP dont care that SF have 28 seats in the assembly they still treat them like a doormat and use them well when they need to so they seriously wont care if there are a few thousand spoilt votes now get real. Ps spoilt vote in STV is common enough as some people STILL after years of going to polling stations put an x by the candiadte in an STV election. Now if you want to use your vote like an adult then pick the candidate that most suits you even if thats not alot and rank the rest in order after that. Its not difficult

they should build a 25k  indoor stadium with 4G pitch
excellent for concerts and mini-major events as well
could   a home for south Dublin when the county is split
in other words if they are going to do it they might as well do it right

Dont be daft look at the money being thrown at pairc ui chaoimh which will result in 3 sides looking identical to whats just been knocked down. Thats GAA planning for you. Any talk of doing something sensible for a change is pointless.
