Big profits and very little investment once again this year.

Really need to be making a shape in Europe. Got a decent draw but not pushing on.

Seem to just be content with getting a few pound and revenue from the champions league.

Rogers said as much in a recent interview regarding transfers and building a squad.

Quote from: Blowitupref on September 22, 2023, 09:54:04 PMVogue Williams your modern day celebrity for doing what? Must be short on guests already just two shows in.

Honestly, never even heard of her.
Lucky for you that you never seen those terrible TV adverts or when she was moaning to the media after some chap chosen not to switch seats with her on a flight last year. 

She really does sicken my shite. Can't abide her

Famous for being famous...hard to listen to.

Quote from: Tubberman on September 22, 2023, 11:12:00 PMHolohan is very matter-of-fact, but I thought that was a very good interview.
Tubridy would have been too giddy and would have interrupted far too often - Kielty let him talk and I thought it was great viewing.

A very soft interview, I understand it being that way with the questions about his deceased wife. But, no push to ask Holohan on the disgraceful Cervical Check fiasco and cover-up, Covid restrictions, His quango job in Trinity that went tits up when it went public that it transpired he actually was going to do nothing.

A very wealthy man, with a huge pension - now writing a vanity book about himself.

What way does this work?

As LLS usually has quite a few on who have just released a book, does the writer/book company pay for an interview or does RTÉ pay the guest for the 20 min interview?

Did they add back some of the fuel duty that they subsidised?

This was the second of three steps to restore the cut in duty last year. However, they don't look like going ahead with the third one in October as oil has gone up.

So is it dearer in north or south?

Anyone know what diesel price is in Banbridge Tesco or Go station. Heading through the area tomorrow

Is there a difference in price between north and south now?

I read recently that the government in south added 6 or 7c to a litre.

This strong team was going to go like this:

A win, good performance and no injuries and the media will be saying Farrell got his game plan right.

A tight win, dodgy performance and a good few injuries and Farrell would be toast.

I think what'll help PK is that show is only 90mins, plus it'll be a shorter LLS season.

Throw in an ad or two and it'll be down to 80 mins.  Very manageable.

How come Imelda May wasn't on for f**k sake.

Also, can't believe they didn't get the Astro physicist from Portmarnock on.

Haha.  That is a great story.

Derry / Re: Derry Club Football & Hurling

Something that has been missed in all this is I think the Derry players are well focussed and driven themselves.

The culture in the panel seems high and they understand that they're a Top 4 team.  If they learn the lessons of semi-final V Kerry, they'll be in a really good place in 2024, especially being in Div. 1. Panel needs beefed up a bit though.

They have a good group of experienced players who know how to win and are seriously driven.  The manager will be very important obviously but maybe not as important as many people think.

If he didn't like the journalist, why did he agree to meet her?

He could have called it off at the last minute.

And why did he go to the Indo anyway, if they wrote lies about his, as he says? Why not just go to a rival newspaper?

All a bit strange.

Just home from the club, great that we go into our 5th county senior SF in succession, on top of league winners, yet still endure CBs very obvious condesesention that PG1 don't belong anywhere near the top table -  which gratefully is at long odds with the majority of observers here.

Maybe Cargin can aspire for a run through Ulster,  but wouldn't it be great if we could really all get behind that.

Don't be letting CB get under your skin  :D

There's a good chance you will face Cargin in the final this year, you will have your opportunity to put them to the sword.

Is the semi-final draw made yet?

Has been laid out from the start

Portglenone  v Dunloy
Today's winners in the other

Thanks.

Tom Curry just got a ridiculous red card. The Argentine flew into him causing a clash of heads. It wasn't even a yellow imho.

What you mean is the Argentine played the ball in the air and, as he landed, a fully upright Curry headbutted him. Lack of intent is completely irrelevant.

Clear as day red.

That should be a warning for all the other teams now.

No team, at professional level, in World Cup, should be making attempted tackles like this.

It'll be a red under the new rules.

Argentina very poor tonight.

After beating strong teams this year, they were very disappointing.  Especially as England went a man down after 2 mins.
