2 very poor kicks into touch with the chance to gain a lot of territory cost them in the last play. Had we Sexton on the bench for such moments..

Is territory that important in this game when one line break wins it? None of the teams look that interested in territory from kicks... don't get me started on the shambles of drop goals!!

Conroy a big loss however.

Couldn't hang on... needed big Ward there for something special towards the end. Fiji later on then?

Holy Jesus the Fijians!! 😵

Is that Mc Keever doing the Irish rugby jersey?

They're doing all of Ireland's Olympic gear as far as I know.

Good result for the lads to start off!

Late to the game, but just started watching Reservation Dogs. Only in season 1, but it's a very funny and endearing look at life on an impoverished Native American reservation through the eyes of a few teenagers looking to escape. Lots of oddball characters that you'd find in any semi-rural environment.

Watch Letterkenny if you get the chance!!!

Epic game. Well done Clare. Ref did his best to make a draw but that would have been cruel on Clare.

Referee robbed Cork of the win! He was shocking the whole game!

f**king choker!!!

Or is it just really difficult to win a major!?

Shane with a bad error on 11 there will do well to come out with just a bogey.

Great stuff again today a real grind!

Cut at +3 right now it could push out to +4 so McIlroy will need -3 at a minimum.

As we eagerly await the appointment of a new Derry Senior football manager, a few certain factors must be taken into account by the County Board, players and supporters TO ENSURE THAT THE CORRECT MANAGER IS APPOINTED.
Therefore we must select  a new manager with a proven track record, has no perceived  downsides, whether real or imagined and who will bring immediate stability for all stakeholders.

He must select, initially, a panel of 40 players, then trim them to 35 after all have been used in the McKenna Cup or challenge matches..

During the course of the league, a core group  of ten players should be selected for most games and each of the remaining 25 players should be given the opportunity to start at least one league game and come on for the last quarter in another.

If this system were adopted all 35 panellists would be exposed to quality football, alongside established players, and thus every panellist would get a fair opportunity to show their true ability.. Furthermore any panellist who is not listed in the first 26 for any county game should be allowed to play for their club that weekend if required.

Panel wise in addition to retaining the 2024 squad members, we need to enlist  at least  two  6 3" or 6 4" strong players who  are  good fielders and who would help to increase our options from kick outs. Most other Counties have these types. Think Donegal, Armagh, Galway, Mayo and Kerry for starters. KICK OUTS have become an increasingly more important part of our games nowadays and we should alter our tactics to accommodate this. Ideally we also require  two tall speedy forwards who can run at defences, unhinge them with their trickery, and score off either foot.
 
Likewise we have to have the option on our squad of a tall player  who can fill the traditional full forward role and create more opportunities for the likes of Shane McGuigan, Lachlan  Murray and Cormac Murphy. Finally and most importantly we have to recruit a player who can consistently score long range frees. 

One would think that having won three minor All IRELANDS WITHIN THE LAST FIVE YEARS there must be within   that
 cumulative group the type and quality of player I have just referred to for the above vacancies.Doire Abu.

The course is beating everyone up at the minute I love to see them struggle the odd time!

This seems a bit dodgy, how would someone else get the details of your insurance company. In the south it is on a disc on the screen, but not in the occupied territories.
Your premium can only go up with a claim, and what is the nature of a claim against a parked car?
I'd ring the insurance company and ask then had they been in contact with you and if so get an further explanation, but they may well say that they were not in contact with you.

Doesn't sound right at all.

Having said that if you've been in an accident and the insurance company know about even if there was no claim they can whack up the premium!

1 point for Donegal between the 48th and 76th minute is the reason they lost that. Did so much right for most of the game.

Bad miss from a free for Donegal. Galway now score from a debatable free. Fine margins in this contest.

Wasn't debatable. He touched on ground.

Clear as day it touched the ground was there a similar one yesterday?

2 very well matched teams nothing in this at all. Cant help but think if Galway pressed a kickout or 2 they could pull more than a point ahead.
