I didnt even know he had a racist outburst - can still only name a few of his songs

Wonderful tonight
Layla
Tears in heaven (fine song but the reason for it being written is incredibly sad)

Indian
Pizza
Chinese
Chippy

That would be the go to preference now. Chippy is bottom of the pile mainly because of the cost.

While Indian works out around the same price as the chippy it feels a much higher quality of food for the cost.

Finished The Gentlemen over the weekend.

Good solid show - I assume there is a second series in the pipeline already

I'd be an advocate of playing a period of extra time and then if it is a draw, restart on a golden score. I realise that this would bring issues in terms of "soft" frees and the players are completely wrecked... but I really hate penalties 

Wouldnt be much fun trying to get a golden score if you are playing into a gale force wind

I dont get people saying GAA is copying soccer.
You would think we are bringing something completely foreign in to finish a game.

Penalties is a skill of the game so why not use this skill to decide a winner?

Other alternative would be shooting from say 30 yards out but again that is down to carrying out a skill of the game.

Thanks for the hard work Mod

Its a massive massive ask for any of them lads to make it.
Practice squads maybe and take it from there but to be picked to play on a team is going to be next to impossible to achieve at the moment.

The Beggan kicking may seem impressive but there will be any number of players who achieved the same and dont have one of the 32 spots.

Fingers crossed they make some sort of progression and have a shot in the coming years.

As someone said, NFL is brutal with kickers in that you could be released a Monday morning and a replacement brought in immediately - I actually think they could have a shot of being called into a team if they are struggling during the season with kickers

The Jets QB covering himself in glory again I see

I havent seen the actual quotes yet - is it much different to what Alex Jones was spouting?

The ground will make for difficult going for a number of horses today.

Expecting a few outsiders to come home

boeing whistleblower found dead.

That is a massive WTF

I would not pay any heed to the Fury v Nganu fight - it was clear as day that Fury hadnt prepared for it at all.

He would still beat AJ - this new beginning is a false dawn in my opinion - until he fights a high quality HW the questions will remain.

I cant see Usyk v Fury going ahead - there will be some bullshit between now and then.

I don't imagine a warm weather training camp would could much more than doing the same thing in Ireland. And there's the plus point of fewer opportunities to bail from some of the camp when they're a flight away from their family / club / work.

That said, it's still a load of old tosh that makes no team more or less likely to fulfil their potential.

I dont know about that.  Armagh went from also rans to champions after a trip to La Manga..Yes... they went back to being also rans but it still worked albeit just that one time...
