The parliament will hold only extremely limited sessions, in Brussels and online, until September.

[run]

Meant to be  for Majorca in 5 weeks for a cycling event and Ibiza in July with family, I'd imagine both are screwed, lockdowns are not the end of restrictions, only part of the eradication process. Cant imagine being in a very holiday state of mind if my Ibiza trip was still on.

Looking like I'm gonna rebook my cycling trip with Jet2 for a future date & different destination, just wondering about the travel insurance I had booked - lost money or would they move it to the new holiday??

No. No. No.
Forget about aeroplanes/going abroad until 2022 at the very least. At the very least!!! If you get money back - take it and run and be glad.

Go out to Navan Fort and cycle around - live where you live and be happy and make the most of it and again - be glad.

GAA won't be carrying out any herd immunity experiments in Croke Park this year or next year anywhere in Ireland and neither should you or anyone else take part in one of their own making.

Back to the GAA.

Has any CB's frozen admin fees for clubs?

We haven't heard anything anyway. They'll probably wait until the next phase of shutdown is announced. Surely that will come in the next few days? Ban at the minute only goes to next Sunday - do you think they'll call it for all of April like the soccer?

April is a given, along with May and June at the very least.

We're not into the teeth of this yet, that's still a few weeks away.

Sometime in August but then the 2nd Wave is supposed to start and whatever versions arrive with wintery weather so since there will be no point in starting something that cannot be finished....
Unlikely to be anything in 2020 games wise.
Nobody will be going out to watch games even if they were somehow to be played.

They will be doing so in twenty minutes.
Hmmm......
Control - eh?

Major psychological win for Unionism in the Athletic Grounds tonight.

People won't work for nothing shocker there, Tony.

If Nortel was reliant on unpaid overtime to keep them afloat, they were on a sticky wicket.

Mayo Donegal on Sky then? FFS!

For most if not nearly all acquaintances - this translates as - "The match is on the radio."


As stated before - GAA Clubs calling to the door no longer get their tickets bought.

They must have lots of the SKY Money in their accounts never mind adding even more to it by torturing ordinary people.

It's just a perfect day.

[I'll be disappointed if we don't take this one by 3-4.]

I'll be disappointed if we don't take this one by 3-4.

Just checking on Paddy Power there,  3-4  -  they don't seem to do exact goals and points winning margins like that but Donegal to win by 13-15 points is priced at 7/1 so if Donegal take this by 3-4 or 3-5 or 3-6 you still would collect. (or 2-7 2-8 2-9 or 1-10 1-11 1-12 etc.)

Any other All Ticket games at this stage of the competition this year?
Well done Antrim and Kildare.

there should be a special place in hell for those

And a much deserved one for all you begrudgers.

Once you know that you can buy a suitable grate or fire basket

Always stand upright for this.

The grate can appear great because you are on your knees.

Ken is back - Ger Loughnane style.

With the All Ireland being a waste of time and effort now for nearly all the Counties, there may be a less experimental side to the Leagues for many as it is now the only hope for them to have some success in the year.

Lads, remember INDIANA?
Where's he gone?

He was good craic on Up for the Match. His posts here didn't do justice to his real self.

Were there not figures mentioned that it would bring 15 million into the area with 13.5 million going back to Headquarters of which Antrim will get their 1/34(minus costs) fair share(all playing counties included) and 1.5 million per year for chip shops and local bars?
