Groups are gone now (unless the Special Congress brings them back - unlikely)
Yes football is watchable and enjoyable again.
You can now watch and enjoy games where you're a neutral.

Seems she's on the way to being on the ballot.

Is the  train  into Drumcondra an option for Ulster teams? From the likes of Dunboyne/Enfield?

Dunboyne just off the M3.
There's a massive car park at the Station there.
Too awkward for most of ye I'd imagine,  but Maynooth usually has a train every half hour but hard to find parking (unless you have in laws there 😁)

For the record I woukd like to have a left of centre candidate to vote for.
However I won't be voting for this lady if she gets selected, or any other pro Putinista.
How anyone describing themselves as left could be supporting a right-wing autocratic cnut like Putin is mind boggling.

Seán Kelly out of the race so McGuinness obviously has the blueshirt nomination.

Oisín McConville staying with Wicklow for 2 more years.

End of the tales of Oisín and Frankie Dolan coming to Ros.

7/8 FFG MEPs will not support the vote to get rid of frau Genocide and 1 Ff will abstain...

will vote left rather than that shower.

Isn't an tÚsail Ó Rìordáin abstaining too?

I see the other fascist EU State, Slovakia, were entertaining some of the war criminal Israeli Government today.

EU needs to expel them and Hungary.

Don't know if this is a citation???

I'll bite...


Take more interest in the real issues -
Housing
A disaster, needs to be an emergency declared for say 3 years, and if needs be CPO derelict run down properties, build sociable and  affordable homes with a quick planning system.

Democracy
We have elections, people stand as candidates, voters decide. What's the problem.,

 the overbearing influence of the EU,
We are voluntary members of a 27 sovereign States co op.
Free access to a narket of 450,000,000.
An awful lot of jobs dependent on EU membership. We don't want to go back to the 1950s/Albania.

 the continued immigration* of our youth from rural areas

Voluntary now unlike my young days or our parents when it was a necessity. My pair both have jobs near home. Neighbours 2 sons work full time from home at jobs in Dublin and London. Relation works in Dublin 2 days, from home 3 days.

Our Health system,

Must do much better but is Paddy and Patricia prepared to pay for it?


 the Fianna Fail - Fine Gael monopoly on Government, The lack of a creditable opposition......

As said above we have elections, the people vote....

*I presume you mean emigration?

Not against your suggestion at all.
There have been 8 TC finalists with 4 of them having around 20 Senior AIs between them.

What about the Carlows, Longford, Fermanaghs etc getting a day out at a National Championship Final?

The GAA said last year there was "no appetite among the Counties" for a 3rd tier.
3 (or more) Tiers work at Club Football, Hurling,  LGFA and Camogie.
Also work at Inter County Hurling,  LGFA and Camogie.
But inter County men's football it's a big NO!
Took years to get the TC established as a kind of halfway house.

Another "citizen journalist"(sic).... not even a slap on the wrist....

Didn't he rule himself out a good while ago?

If only the GAA top brass put as much effort into promoting our game as theses 'celebs' and commentators etc.

GAA marketing is poor enough in my opinion.

GAA marketing is non existent.
You'd think they'd get the sponsors of the various competitions to lend them some of their marketing/promotion people.
