Perhaps because they do not want to give a disease to someone else?
Ack ffs the whole country is vaccinated about 40 times and everyone who's gonna get it, has had it. Why do you need to test? You don't test for the Flu? Measles? Chickenpox etc. By the time symptoms show you'll have spread it around anyway. If you feel unwell stay at home.
She’s not well and staying at home as you would with any illness but her mother has just finished cancer treatment so knowing that is important as she is also a carer, so extra precautions is required.
as for testing for something like measles that happens, they go to doctor and he diagnoses it
Going to the Doctor with the Measles no wonder you can get an appointment. Crazy behaviour altogether.
So you can also diagnose the measles? Your some pup! We'll just send them to you ffs

Just on referees I think fans get frustrated with the inconsistencies, every referee is different and interrupts the game differently. You could go watch your club on a Sunday afternoon and Wednesday night and the game is completely different because of the man in the middle. Some referee’s like free flowing games with big hits and let it go and some don’t like any contact at all and are whistle happy.
What you see and what the referee sees are completely different, the interpretation of the rules by the referee is down to him/her with the whistle, there is no referee the same, that goes for every sport that has a referee looking after it. The players play within the rules and there will be no interruptions.
If me and you sat down and did the rules test how well would you fare?
Probably as well as any referee and what an extremely arrogant response just because you are the man in the middle doesnt mean you know more
You said I’d know more then say it doesn’t mean I know more? Which is it? Strange person

I assume you are a ref and see how you lean towards supporting refs.
But doesn’t mean they are always right.
For example I remember the Antrim GAA twitter posting a video of a spectacular hit in the SFC SF two years and somehow the ref saw it as free kick.
Yes I see where your coming from, but certainly doesn’t mean they always get it right.
You’re trying too hard but making yourself look like a twat

Have we a full team to select from?

Antrim in the 40's and 50's revolutionized the hand pass and made it their signature play, a sweeping movement right down the field, demoralising many sides. But the hand pass was abolished in 1950 at congress. And guess who proposed the motion? Yes, Antrim.
When was it brought back in?

« on: March 23, 2023, 03:33:09 PM »Update on this. I returned the cliftons. I wanted to try the wide fit to see if that would help. They didn't have the cliftons in my size and wide fit so I got the bondi 7s instead. Much better fit and so far very happy. A few small mile runs complete and no complaints. Very comfortable.
With more running you might be able to squeeze into the Cliftons
Couldn't help myself!! Enjoy the running!

« on: March 23, 2023, 03:06:44 PM »I was speaking to our club ref and he told me he has never received a report from an assessor in Antrim, so what is the point of an assessor if they are not giving constructive feedback? When is the last time you got feedback MR2 (apart from all the sparkling reviews on herewhich young refs are we talking about? brilliant idea and should be encouraged
There are assessors that go to games and review them from a ref's point of view btw
To be fair recently or last year or so I haven't, but I do know people that have. Generally the new ones are 'visited' and given a verbal assessment of written one
This is a perfect opportunity though to mention that for those that are not looking to be a referee but feel the standards aren't good they could then put themselves forward as assessors?

I’d say it would be very bad business if you sell something that doesn’t hit the mark, you wouldn’t be in business to long selling crap. I know they are low life’s but they ain’t stupid

Illegals that obey the law (WTF) can get amnesty?
So all illegals here that are actually breaking the law can stay but those with a deportation order need to go?
I don’t think the right wing nut jobs would go for that
