Probably been discussed before, Searching for Sugarman, great wee story. Last half hour is pure joy 🙂

Class, I've two real good South African friends who really gave me their experience of this, and when I watched the film, was brill

Pity the greatest XV of fat hurlers is getting no new blood from the modern era.
Niall Patterson, Paul Shelly, Daithi Regan, Geoffrey McGonagle, John Carroll and Seanie Leary have their places permanently nailed down.

In high winds, these guys don't need to be nailed down

This it just bonkers! Hopefully Jarlth gives one of those Croke park speech's tonight and ban this girl from all the GAA grounds in Ireland 

Anyone that entertains a catfish also needs beat up

What's mad is that someone can say something on social media and it becomes a a talking point, some believe others don't, all depending on their view on life.

Jota. Injured. Again. Doubt for Brentford.

That's a run of bad luck or poor rehabilitation by him or the staff

I just can't believe how gullible some lads can be. Imagine inviting someone you've never met to a wedding! Not condoning the unhinged behaviour of the catfish whatsoever but if I was chatting to someone online (especially some stunner) for more than 2 weeks without meeting them i'd lose interest if I hadn't already spotted the red flags. If something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Most people know who she is anyway but if she's publicly outed there's probably big issues with regard her mental health.

Yeah that's usually the way of it when someone gets caught out

You've seen nothing to date, in her behaviour, that would suggest mental health challenges?

That's it. She has obviously 'mental health challenges' as they say these days! Has taken living in a fantasy world to a whole other level. Hard to see what she gains by doing this apart from thinking she's in a relationship with a GAA 'star'...

I know a few people who would have known her growing up. Apparently she told people she was texting Eoghan Quigg while he was on X-factor. She claimed to have been texting various county minor players while in school. If there's any truth in this I'd maybe exclude the mental health card. This seems to be behaviour she's exhibited from her youth.

Attention seeker with low self esteem, which she has carried through most of her life I suppose. While she has done wrong, I'm still worried these lads could have also given money to some Nigerian prince

She totally regrets getting caught, we can't forget that

If its been published as a podcast but not escalated to the relevant authorities for a court appearance that takes the pish

Most people have regret when they are caught, but happy enough to plough on until they are 

Where would you start on that performance 

I only seen the first half and Southampton were brilliant, Utd did have chances but had no final touch in the box or calmness to take the right option. Onana was brilliant in goals and Utd could have been 3 nil or more down at HT

I got watch the last 15 minutes though and yeah, they pulled it outta the bag, that lad is some player and has some serious hunger about him, but ya can't keep giving teams those chances as better teams will take them apart.

But 8 points from safety  

8 points from safety for Utd, The Saints are down so, two from:

Ipswich Wolves Leicester and Everton

is the 16th March dates that's doing the rounds confirmed as the start of the football league

Lol

Here we go.....

Are the leagues staying the same way or are we having another restructure?

apparently its a ridiculous question to ask

Ask your club secretary

Tyrone had a county board meeting on Tuesday, a Management Meeting on Wednesday evening, CCC issued all start dates for every grade and code as well as formats for pre season cups, leagues and easter/summer holidays. 15th January and every team/coach/player can plan around it

Are clubs involved in these meetings?

Never in doubt

A team that hasn't scored from a corner against the team that lets in the most from corners lol

[mental health issues like depression that have always been there]

I feel you're wrong with the statement mental health issues like depression that have always been there, always been there implies abuse isn't a potential root cause

For me, perfectly well adjusted functioning people can be abused to the point of suicide without underlying or pre-existing mental health issues

Most people unfortunately with depression mask life and come across as being well adjusted functioning people.

It can be easy, and I know two families that believe what they want to believe over a suicide that 'came out of the blue', one family blamed the girl and the other family felt he was selfish.

I've only seen bouts of it up close and to anyone outside of it would think that person has the world at their feet, but I know inside they struggle everyday.

Almost correct 👍

At least now your seeing it as a rule and not a judgement call

Glad you came to see you made a mistake but that's learning! Well done 👍


It's not an easy job, but it can be made easier

 refs can make the job a lot easier by being consistent. If a player other than the nominated person speaks then apply the rule and move the ball on. After one or two 2point scores on the back of a 50m advance players will know they are the problem and not you.

If you decide to apply "common sense" you open not only yourself but you're colleagues in a worse of position

You'll get dogs abuse

If you don't apply the rules as guided and next week, someone will does do right by the rule applies it, imagine the abuse he will get!

"MR2 doesn't do that. So why's it cost us a county final because different ref decides to advance it 50m?"

The rules there to help refs. Use it to do so

You have put in players talking, I think its anyone outside of that, sidelines, waterboys, and lads behind the wire, as its difficult to determine who is saying it don't you think?

[Women abusing men does not create suicide]

Women abusing men does not create suicide

In Ireland, 1 in 3 women have experienced psychological violence from a partner at some point in their lives and 1 in 6 have experienced physical or sexual violence by a partner since the age of 15.

That's a  staggering figure

not getting into an argument, we all know that there is an enormous problem, especially here, of men abusing women. However you cannot say the boldened part with any certainty

Most suicides are down to mental health issues like depression that have always been there, is there a trigger that can set these off? Yeah course they can, and can a abusive relationship be a trigger, most definitely, but depression is something I feel is there, I can be wrong on this btw, way before we have relationships, jobs, and other pressures, So I'll take that back and say yes, a bad relationship can trigger someone (who has mental health issues)  to take their own life
