Fair play to Kerry. A sensational performance. Armagh didn't do themselves justice but Kerry didn't let them. The end of a good Armagh team I fear. Fair play to all involved they've given us some great times.

Quote from: David McKeown on June 28, 2025, 09:04:14 PMIs the following correct

If Meath and Armagh win then it's basically an open draw.

If Galway and either Armagh or Kerry win then Galway will play either Donegal or Tyrone and Armagh/Kerry winner will play the other.

If Meath and Kerry win then Meath will play either Tyrone or Donegal and Kerry will play the other?
David. Relax. We've plenty to be getting on with tomorrow.

Fair point well made

Quote from: Orior on June 28, 2025, 08:39:18 PMThat was an entertaining afternoon.

If Armagh beat Kerry then I wouldn't fear anyone.

Would anyone fear anyone who is left. All at a very similar level for me.

If and I stress if Galway and Armagh were to win tomorrow then they couldn't meet.

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on June 28, 2025, 08:00:08 PMIf Armagh and Galway both win, is the Semi Tyrone v Armagh and Donegal v Galway as Armagh already played both of them?

No. Could be Tyrone v Galway or Donegal v Galway as neither would be repeat pairings.

Does Donegal in the Ulster final and Tyrone in the semi final count the same for previous Armagh meetings?

The rule doesn't seem to distinguish and is unique to semi final pairings.

Very impressive.  Hard to see them beaten this year for me

I'm now with Jim. The nerves are killing me having to wait to tomorrow. Want us to have been a 2pm game today now instead.

Quote from: Rossfan on June 27, 2025, 02:47:45 PMFor whatever reason it's different for the semis.
Hard to follow the logic as with only 4 teams it is harder to avoid repeats.

But "thems the rules"

Yeah it makes no sense Armagh couldn't have met Tyrone in the semi final because of a match in Ulster but could have met them in the groups, preliminary quarter final, quarter final or final. Madness
Decent chance obviously that if we get to a semi we'll have already played all 3 teams.

Yes but that's completely coincidental the rule change fir the semi makes no sense

Quote from: Rossfan on June 27, 2025, 11:25:16 AMSemi Final draw (if required) live on Sunday Game.
No repeats of earlier Championship games unless impossible.
If Galway, Dublin and Armagh all win....

If Armagh, Donegal, Tyrone & Galway all win, how will they work it?

Armagh have played all 3
Donegal have played all bar Galway
Tyrone have played all bar Galway
Galway have played just Armagh

A bowl with 2 balls - Donegal and Tyrone, to find out Galways opponent.

In this case a repeat is unavoidable.

No draw needed. The Tyrone v Armagh game doesn't count for the purposes of repeat pairings so it will be them and Donegal v Galway

It's only a repeat pairing if you have met in the All Ireland series or a provincial final. Hence why Monaghan and Donegal are meeting again.
I'm sure I saw somewhere that all previous meetings count now. Why the difference I don't know.

Just looked at the rule there. It is different. It now says avoid repeat pairings from the championship as opposed to saying from previous rounds. Of course the championship isn't defined. I know the DRA have previously said the term means either the provincial championship or the All Ireland but not both. So I've no idea what this means.

Quote from: Jim Bob on June 27, 2025, 10:23:33 AMWish to install indoor security cameras  to monitor an elderly parent. ( NI)
Needs to be linked to a smartphone for monitoring obviously
Anyone know any companies who do this sort of thing ?

It may not be what you are looking for but we have had great success with Blink cameras for this. Found them far more cost effective than professional installers. Slight worry in respect of where the storage is if you get a subscription but it can be easily set up for local storage only. They have a range of wireless cameras too if you don't want to start and drilling for either power or PoE

Quote from: David McKeown on June 27, 2025, 12:59:55 AMEasier to blame and personally attack the named lawyers I guess than to address those ultimately responsible.   

There's no question that the department have monumentally fucked this up. However I'd also question the motives of this group taking the action. It's almost certain that this road will be built as planned, sooner or later. This group most likely knows that. The question i have is, what is their long term aim by delaying its construction? They're not the first group to have land vested to build a road. I think it's rather naive to think that there's no vindictive motive involved here.

I too would question their motives but the attacks on Judges for applying the law and lawyers for taking the case on are particularly unpalatable.

Further the suggestion these were minor breaches and should be ignored are simply not correct. The Judge would have ignored them if they could but the potential ramifications of doing so are significant.

To do so he would effectively have to say I don't care what law Parliament enacts I'm going to ignore it.

That is simply unworkable as much as I wish it were to get the road built.
