The updates to tyronegaa.ie are a bit shambolic - its terrible to navigate - especially on a mobile device.  And cant seem to find a Division 3 Reserve League Table anywhere on it.

Time has come to book soon for the brother

Anyone done either of the following? :



We're not doing a home stag in Ireland or UK as most of the lads going requested specifically Europe  :D 😂 although I would consider Edinburgh if it was any good?

Hamburg
Prague
Krakow
Budapest
Marbella (Malaga airport)
Ibiza

Trying to get a flight out of Belfast seems to be the issue for Jan-March 2024, Dublin is a bit of a pain travelling from the north if it's an early flight.

went to Riga a few years ago for the brothers - just before Covid kicked in.  Great stag - flight times werent great but once we were over it was cheap and company I had booked everything through were 1st class

Went on Saturday night ... Garth put on a superb show, and Croke Park looked unreal, what a setting for a big production event.  His Netflix documentary of the 5 Dublin shows should be a good watch, and won't do tourism in the country any harm either.

Is it confirmed to be on Netflix?  I would have thought Amazon Prime considering the deal he struck with them to host his music.

Does anyone know did he so the 'secret encore' at the end of final the Saturday night gig?

Good podcast or Book also an option.  Some good sport to watch back on, on YouTube as well - watched the 2008 AI Final again the other night,  Also re-watched Ireland beating NZ in the rugby.

Well for starters he speaks about Londonderry, secondly he ran about after the ryder Cup with an ni flag wrapped around him, thirdly he wouldn't declare for Ireland in the Olympics and finally there's just something about him.
Don't get me wrong if he's leading a major coming up the back 9 I'll be rooting for him but give me lowry, Clarke, mcdowell any day of the week.

1st - Could you link to this quote - dont think I have ever read/heard it
2nd - That is where he is from - he has said numerous times he feels Northern Irish
3rd - He has represented Ireland at youth level, and will represent Ireland in 2020 so it kind of a mute point about previously - lets not forget Lowry - who I would prefer ahead or McIlroy personally also failed to show up in Rio
4th - I think thats your real issue - 'just something about him' - you just dont like him - nothing wrong with that - but why not just say it

He sticks his head above the parapet far too often, people would prefer him to be a sheep and conform to the norm.

Like you say he's an interesting guy, just read the last three Sindos, and one hell of a golfer...

Post up part 3 there  ;D

Had to go and buy if ffs  ;D

take a few pics of it and pm me...lol - I would have bought as well but forgot all about it after reading part 1 and part 2 online :(

Whole thing is overblown.

Good reliable source

'Here are the main findings from the paper by the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CCDC)'

Bit like Kim Jong-un telling the North Koreans he wins the Olympic 100m gold.

Hanna and Eastwood will be articulate MPs who will explain the nationalist position in London very well.  All necessary to keep progressing towards a New Ireland.  In contrast, what is the point of MPs like Micky Brady and Francie Molloy.  I literally couldn't tell you what they do from one week to the next.

Who's going to be listening though?

Boris won't give a shit.
The Irish govt now hold *some" of the cards and the DUP are no longer in a position to stop whatever concession is needed on Ireland.  The link btw Varadkar/Coveney and the SDLP could be important.

Claire isn't a big fan of that as we all know.

Isn't the link between Fianna Fail (Michael Martin) and the SDLP - not Fine Gael (Varadkar/Coveney)

Just out of Joker and thought great lead performance. From what I was hearing I was expecting it to be darker and more violent. Tame enough.

Agree, tame - but a great performance.

great acting by Joaquin but overall I thought it was poor enough film - for the 'big scene' - you could see that coming about 15 mins into the show I thought anyway

Shane Lowry had his big chance in 2016 leading by 4 or 5 going into the last round of the US open and then imploded, cant imagine he will get too many other chances at a major

He'll always have a chance anytime he tees up in the Open.

Jesus I like Shane and all, but Ben Lowry has as much chance of winning major ffs.

He has won a WGC against the best in the world - he lead the us open (arguably the hardest major) by 4 shots after 54 holes and managed to get a joint runner up after a disastrous final round (that included the rules mess up with DJ that probably affected Shane's play as well).  To say he has no hope of ever winning a major is extremely harsh.  He will be teeing it up in all 4 majors this year - admittedly it would be a big shock if he won one but any of the top 50 or so players in the world if they put it together for 4 days in the correct week - get some lucky breaks and you never know what could happen

that post aged well didnt it trailer - clown

Yes, well goes to show you what I know, the sum total of f**k all.
Couldn't be happier to be proven wrong. Lowry is a great guy and a worthy champion who played some scintillating golf.

lol - good humility from you there to admit you were wrong.  And +1 on your second sentence - couldn't agree more
