How are these fires starting?

Looks like the one in Hollywood Hills was arson.

Dont think there has been anything definitive for the others.

Difficult to pick only 3

[and set the ball down and move on...]

To be fair, I'm fairly tolerant, but every ref is different with regards to how people speak to them. So take that 'excuse' away from him altogether and set the ball down and move on...

Think as ex players/supporters/managers and so on most ref's understand that if a player 'asks' why the free was given the ref will explain, either verbally or demonstrate by actions what the free was given for, its the second or third time when questioning the reason that is a pain in the arse and that would or should be the reason why its brought forward.

The only game I have done this year I warned a lad 2 times and said that the next time he gives off I'll be moving the ball forward. This is a bedding in period for everyone, the players and management will make as many mistakes than the ref.

And I suppose the mood of the ref will determine things to, they aint robots 

I'm fairly vocal in my games, and usually right on top of play so generally speech playing with the players, saying 'all good' 'play on' 'no foul, get up' and so on.

It'll be the cut and thrust of championship when things will be really on the line that will be the most difficult, regardless of refs being mic'd up and plenty of officials at hand

Surely if a player does that the ball will be moved forward MR2?

Ball has to be handed back directly to the player or has that been changed?

Imagine this happened in the crux of the c'ship season 

Shouldn't be any fist pumping at the end of sets tonight!!

Totally, it was ridiculous. Bunting and Humphries seemed to be happy just to be on stage with Littler. MVG be there to win. Ruthless.

Why have a few people mentioned Humphries?

Wizzard - Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day
Slade - Merry Christmas Everybody
Band Aid - Do They Know Its Christmas

Love Christmas songs and could easily fill a top 10 but never tire of the above 3

I wonder is there a reason he didnt do time.

Nothing to see here

2moro's game called off yet?

Yep

Got gifted 6 bottles of red and white Lebanese wine.

Anyone tasted it before?

Trying to decide if I should drink it or 'gift it'

has anyone seen the whatsapp messages going about of a certain County player, i hope this is fiction and not true for its not a good look

If you believe that I have some magic beans to sell you!

Same.

First point would be if there was a find then it would have been on the news.

It wasnt just a Tyrone player mentioned in the one that I saw either - another county were implicated.

No idea how people come up with this shite.

Not county but any white smoke in Crossmaglen? Two ex county coaches been linked but nothing confirmed.

I thought I read last night it was Vinny Corey? (that he was the new manager)

Who is the other mentioned?

Some difference in refereeing quality also yesterday in Celtic Park.

1st ref couldn't help himself constantly blowing the whistle. Very harsh calls.
2nd ref was what we want. Play hard and fair and he let's it go

Exactly. The first ref stopped the game multiple times for stupid shit.

Did he book someone along the line for giving water to a player when the ball was at the far side of the pitch?

Who is decent out there at the minute? I see that Paul Smith fella is selling out arenas all over the place on the basis of short clips online of him roasting audience members. Not sure what the rest of his content is like but he'd be going some to fill a show if that's all he has.

Total let down....went to show in Belfast, ribbed a few in the audience but I got  bored with a long yarn about a stag & drugs.
Left early to avoid the car park traffic tbh,!

Exactly this - the funniest part of his routine is audience engagement.

After this the stories are long and get tedious quite quickly.

Best avoided

She was watching Traitors one night - I thought it was the usual reality guff.

But it is actually great viewing

[However, he wasnt the best keeper in the country in 2024. If we had got to the further stages of the c'ship then he was a shoe in.]

For what its worth I rate Morgan as the best all round keeper by a country mile.
The man has it all in his locker.

However, he wasnt the best keeper in the country in 2024. If we had got to the further stages of the c'ship then he was a shoe in. But we didnt so he should not have been selected.

If he was the best player in the games he was involved in and this warranted an All Star then there are many other players in the country who will be expecting All Stars in the future.

Feel the All Star selectors have really messed up here.

Doesn't make sense... You are assuming that he would have improved to be the best player if he'd played further into the championship or you have to play more games to be the best...?

The All Stars are given to players who played really well throughout the season.
We didnt get to the business end so how could he have demonstrated what he could do?

By this standard we could have a player from Leitrim/Antrim (no disrespect intended) score 10 pts a game but they dont get to the business end of the season.

Will they now be in the running for an All Star based on this?
