Major c**k up by the police to bring him out and no transport. Saw a photo of that man and he looks exactly like you expect him to. Bryson seems to think he's a republican.

I'm almost certain Ben Lowry says good to see you to him and seemed to know where he was from.

Could be a republican but highly unlikely.

Allegedly a TUV supporter, but that could be BS.

Although the same moron posts another video where he's approached by Ben Lowry who seems to know him going by the interaction.

Quote from: Look-Up! on Today at 11:42:27 AMVVD plays in a vital position. Still has plenty to give and a natural leader. I think it would be too risky to get rid, unless his heart not in it and he wants away himself. Earns 150k less than Salah, who I think is a big problem going forward not only because of his poor form, but he's putting massive upward pressure on future wage negotiations, be that existing contract renewals or new signings. 

Bank the Saudi cash for Salah and go for Ivan Toney, seriously rate that lad, he'll get 20 plus a year on a good team.

Salah is bang out of form, there's no doubting that, but Liverpools main assists used to come from wide, TTA and Robertson, TAA injured quite a lot this year and so has Robertson, who's been below par as well.

Carragher has given up on Nunez, seems to think he'll not get any better than what he is now and although his rates of scoring from really good chances is poor, surely that's something that still can be worked on, no?

Gakpo looked a bit better the last few games, probably missed last night, but not complaining..

Quote from: gawa316 on April 24, 2024, 11:00:46 PMPerformances over the last month or so have resembled a lot of last season

Liverpool need a really strong character like Big Ange TBH.

It's a pressure position with roaring expectation and a few results going awry early doors could impact most managers, bit Ange seems to take most things in his stride, similar to Klopp.

Some in Cork now questioning the value Horgan and Lehane bring to the team.

Pat Ryan under a bit of pressure this weekend

Quote from: brokencrossbar1 on April 23, 2024, 02:19:48 PMI remember at the time it sent chills through the whole  nationalist community. Just listening to Talkback and Trevor Birney talking about and how attacking someone like Sean Brown was a deliberate ploy as he was decent and could not be associated with any paramilitary organisation. It was purely to put fear and Terror through a whole community by striking at its centre.

 

It was indeed.
"Taigs" were getting uppity, GAA teams winning things, needed to be "put back in their place".
Brit security elements obviously didn't want any moves towards ceasefire or peace either.

Taigs getting uppity,  exercising their democratic right and voting Martin McGuinness in as Mid Ulster MP.

Man of god, Willie McCrea and his rhetoric post that loss was disgusting.

Donaldson, 61, faces 11 charges: one count of rape, one count of gross indecency towards a child and nine counts of indecent assault on a female from 1985 to 2006. The allegations relate to two complainants.



Jesus,  that's not good....

Just keep phoning, the empty surgery.



Pretty sad response, an individual pitting his experience via knowing the local receptionist and having a few pounds over the masses, poor pensioners ringing will just give up if they can't get through but what do you care.

Again you're using your own experience (as am I) different surgeries than have different methods.

Your beef is with your own surgery, claiming that the GP's are sitting about doing nowt. Well that's just bollox.


You sound like another public server basher. You pay taxes, it doesn't mean you get automatic service.

If you want a better service we've got to pay more taxes to get it.

But you keep telling me how lucky I am for knowing a receptionist and how lucky my wife had £100 quid available to see a private doctor.


I have never once said that, I said I go once a week and at differing times and the surgery is empty, I have no clue what they are doing, telephone triage, video call, house calls, private work, I don't know, my beef as you put it is not with my surgery but how unfair it is in general, you don't care as you can text your receptionist and jump the queue or pay 100 quid when your mate is on holidays or whatever.  A 75 year old with COPD struggling and needing a course of steriods and an antibiotic has to ring up and if the poor crater can't get through they will give up, if they do get through and told there is no appointment and ring back, they'll give up, appointments should be able to be booked like pre-covid, oh yes Mrs Smith I could book you in tomorrow at 10am, it don't happen anymore, with that I bid you adieu.
 

Take that frustration out on your MP/MLA, whoever that may be.

As much as the Tories and their austerity is meant to do as exactly what MR2 and lots of others has done and drive people into the arms of private medicine I've no real confidence that Wes Streeting will reverse much of that when Labour get into power and that's the frightening thing.

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on April 23, 2024, 01:24:14 PMNot all, in the surgery I'm at they are seeing people all the time, some places must different

Local GP has very few slots and you have to call every morning from 9 to 9:30 or you won't get a slot that day and then you've to try again the next morning.

Too few GP's in a lot of these surgeries now.

Quote from: seafoid on April 23, 2024, 12:03:51 PMThis story is really like the one about the Stardust



Certainly a tragedy with an attempted coverup, but collusion in the North went much further than that.

British State forces actively provided Loyalists with the intel, support and equipment to carry these murders out and then did everything to prevent a proper investigation then and indeed ever since.

Quote from: Tones on April 23, 2024, 09:46:23 AMA friend of mind works dealing with benefit claims, she does England mostly, she says it's amazing how rude these folk are, how clued in they are, how persistent they are, how confrontational they are, she says when she clearly identifies fraud and passes it to her line manager more than not it is ignored - no wonder the country if fucked!

I've said before, these people work dam hard at not working, the levels of understanding the benefit system is way above the actual people working in it

I remember being at a garage on the Shankill years ago, guy was filling up his rather new BMW, he was chatting away to a fella in the shop telling him he was heading to the dole who were interviewing him for the DLA renewal.

He was basically covered in shit, clothes were hanging on him and he smelt of booze, told him that it works every time and they never keep more than 5 minutes due to the smell.

This isn't taking away from multi national companies not paying full tax btw  ;)

No fan of them but at least they contribute something in terms of jobs etc.  Your man in the Shankhill along with many other similar people in the supposed 'working class areas' contribute sweet FA.  It is people like this who clog up the NHS as well.

FFS they aren't offering a charity service, it's those doing those jobs that contribute and I'd expect the employer to also contribute on their profits as well.

Don't buy that trickle down economics shíte.

Quote from: Pub Bore on April 23, 2024, 10:03:52 AMFor all the blather about "Michelle and Emma" and a bright future for NI, it's 2024 and the British are still trying to suppress the truth.  25 people involved in this murder, most of whom were loyalist touts, RUC and UDR members.

Excellent programme that showed the devastation visited on families during the Troubles.

And one active member of the RIR allegedly..

Is your man Swinger Fulton still alive?

I think we all know what was happening back then but to see it put out there yet again how Loyalist paramilitaries acted with total impunity, aided and abetted by "state agents" both in uniform and without uniform.

To hand someone a report with almost every page blackened out tells you all you need to know about how the British Gov, the RUC/PSNI and the Army would treat any truth and reconciliation commission.

This isn't rewriting the history of the troubles here, it's now shining a light on what really went on.
