My only real concerns about signing Hart and McCarthy is that there's no way they are Anges choices.

The new manager won't be there by Halloween. That is brutal. Absolutely woeful again.

He's just in the door, trying to patch a team together, and we're talking about getting rid of him already .... going to take a couple of seasons to get Celtic competitive again, anyone who thinks they will challenge in Scotland this year are mistaken.  They may concede 2 or 3 in a row to Rangers before Celtic are challengers again imo.

If we can do enough to stop a Rangers Treble I'll not be happy but I would be content

a strong statement from the newly formed Henry Joys in North Belfast


All support for below Letter very welcome. Pm our page to help but please share far and wide.
A chairde
We have requested to be ratified since February of this year. We have faced our data including bank balances and names leaked to other units, we cant see anywhere in the official guide where by this is standard procedure to follow as only rule 3.3 talks of new clubs.
We have 30 plus hurlers at adult level wishing to go and 30 plus juveniles. We cannot understand why we have to go through other clubs for ratification as 3.3 does not mention this. We have put our hearts and souls into this, from creating community outreach via youth and migrants to getting local business support for rigs.
To date our county board has requested the following.
- get each committee officer trained
- each coach foundation and safeguarding trained
- each coach access ni applied
- evidence of finance to pay fees and purchase equipment
- evidence of a bank account
- list of committee members
- list of players
- letter of support from a local football club
- 5-10 year development plan
- justification for our name which no other club use
- source training venues in the community
- a copy of club constitution
- a financial plan going forward to
- minutes from our agm
- a delegation to meet county board
The above has all been completed at their request, I think this is well and above rule 3.3. our vice chair was now informed that all clubs now have a say in our club.
This decision making process does not seem to be gaa orientated. We do not want anything from Antrim county executive committee other than our ratification to register our games, to make it safe for our community to fully partake.
The camogie club which is part of our one club plan is already registered insured and functioning, their process began months later than our hurlers.
I am a gaa member my entire life, a massive Antrim fan, this is not a line i want to follow, nor did i ever think bringing people into the game would be so difficult. This is not a decision we have taken lightly.
To finish I will quote our chairperson follwing his election win, "Every child in every parish in Antrim should have the opportunity to play our national games and to aspire to play for their club and their county at senior level in our county stadium" Ciaran McCavana 4th December 2018, I whole heartedly agree with his statement, we just simply want ratification and know why there is a hold up.
Is mise le meas
Executive Committee
Henry Joys and Mary Anns GA&CC

I don't know about how laois u20s prepare but I believe ours only really have been getting together once a week for about the past 6 weeks wouldn't really give you much time to know your colleagues

Wee fat Leigh got a year extension, Celtic revolution where we just re-sign everyone from last year and in the case of Erik Sviatchenko look to resign someone we got rid of a few years ago.

Id rather Kennedy than Keane. The Australian is in with the Manchester city football group so could have legs with a Ferghal Harkin DoF appointment but tenuous I think.

Part of me thinks this is Dom McKay taking charge and saying to Howe shit or get off the bucket which is the right thing to do but much too late.

The INLA would be the hipsters' choice.

What's the obsession with peoples occupations in episodes like this, at every turn she was a "marketing executive", I actually read something in the Times and we were told both her parents occupations too

It's to tell the community that she was not 'a lady of the night'.

Christ. I was wondering about that occupation thing myself and the constant reference to it.
       

Whether they admit it or not, people want to know.

Normal, functional, successful middle-class woman, going about her business, as opposed to lost or dysfunctional or overstretched woman from a troubled or poverty-stricken background.

The latter is part of the ambient, background violence of society, the former is not.

Same thing in the US.

There is sensationalist, blanket news coverage when some young, fit white woman goes missing or is murdered. Poor woman of colour... forget it. A statistic.

100% correct.

This is what it is all about.

Would a kid that disappeared on holiday many years ago still have an ongoing investigation if they had been from a lower income family?

I doubt it

There was a good comparison in the book Chavs between he disappearance of Maddie McCann and Shannon Matthews, the sympathy for the well to do McCanns and the immediate castigation of useless neglectful mother of the Shannon.

The irony that it turned out  Karen Matthews and her BF did turn out to be tramps wasn't lost on me but still it was an interesting comparison of stereotypes.
