This could be like the CIA training and arming Bin Laden in the 80's. 2030 having to fight the Wagner Group.

Is it a case of better the devil you know?

Dee Forbes, director general of RTE, was suspended by the board of RTE last Wednesday. We can only presume it's because of these payments. Unbelievable stuff really. Tubridy is now finished as a tv personality, his only hope is to join FF and run for office.

He's far from finished, he'll do a Wogan and BBC will snap him up. He'll help Norton do the Eurovision and in 12 months will be talking about the UK entry as we.

I believe the GAA have finally found a formula for the championship that works with a few tweaks,  but it needs to be spread across the summer with the All Ireland finals last two week ends of August at the earliest.

Bowing to the GPA by condensing the summer so there members can swan of to the states is wrong. I have no issue with lads going to America to make a few quid, I have an issue with the GAA moving there calendar to facility this.

This is nothing to do with club players, after tonight my club have 3 league games left in the Armagh league and the championship doesn't start to end off August. This was never about player welfare.

Think Inters only chance is turn it into a boring dogfight and try to reach penalties

I like this statement of intent from Clare.

Not only is it looking after their fan base to ensure they will get as much support there as possible, while saving them time and money. It is also a really positive psychological outlook for the team, they don't care where it is played they are ready to go.

Don't get me wrong it could back fire on them but definitely have to give it to them, it is ballsy.

Reminds me of a story a few years ago, BC1 might know more about this.

The Athletic Grounds were closed at the time and county matches and championship finals were been played in Crossmaglen. Dromintee complained at the county board meeting about Cross having home advantage for the county final. The Cross delegate stood up and said I'll tell you what we'll play it in Dromintee. Last time there was ever a discussion about venues.
