I dont think Mickey Harte will be too upset that Derry are out of the Ulster. They have the medals from the last 2 years in their pockets. Its all about SAM for them now. They get a nice 4 week break to get themselves ready. I would not be writing them off at all.

100% correct.

Where to start! Think this is damn near impossible.

Under Pressure, clear no.1. Understated and elegant composition ramped up with a roaring baseline.

Crazy Little Thing Called Love, just a genius song. Plenty of songs have wanted to be it. But nothing sounds like it.

Not sure anyone could really leave Bohemian Rhapsody out. It and Queen are symbiotic.

dont know if you can describe him as far right but nial boyalan announces hes running for European election.

What would your definition of far right be?

mine is


Anti climate action
Pro plutocracy.
anti women
Violent
Report to Putin.
Very noisy
Never solve problems.

Is anti climate action not an outlier among that?

Is it okay to disbelieve all/any other government messaging and policies... just not climate change?

——

I'm not anti climate action by the way. I just don't understand how it can be right wing to be that way.

Will they definitely be playing in 4 weeks or could it be 5?

I believe they will be in Pot 3 so first game will be away to the Provincial winners in their group.
if its the Connacht or Munster winner then its the 18th-19th May ( so 4 weeks)
otherwise 25 May (so 5 weeks)

2nd Game on 1st or 2nd June
3rd Game on 15th or 16th June

So Kerry/Dublin/ or Mayo Galway.

If they get either Kerry or Dublin and get a similar 6 or 7 point defeat there will be major questions asked.

They'll want to be getting Mayo or Galway and start off with a signature win.

Club offering in our committee whatsapp 5 tickets for Gerry Arthur Stand on Sat... Weirdly still free. Maybe fellow Down fans don't want another soaking!

Are the lower sections covered from the rain? The AO/BO/CO/DO/EO sections etc?

Or just the section behind?

There may be a shower or two, heavy rain does not seem likely, although a black cloud does seem follow Down.
