The three prior fatal collisions have claimed 5 lives, all over the age of 30. The road in its current form is simply unfit for purpose.
No one is blaming age all the, but don't let that get in the way of your post. This reason for this accident is unknown, a single car accident involving teenagers. I don't know anyone that is against making this road safer.
But having suggestions in general about car safety and driving sensibly can also happen separately

Allegedly a TUV supporter, but that could be BS.
Although the same moron posts another video where he's approached by Ben Lowry who seems to know him going by the interaction.

Don't work. Don't wash too often by the look of them.
All vehemently anti abortion presumably to get funds from US.
Quote from: Tony Baloney on April 23, 2024, 07:00:57 PMInsane workload?Quote from: Applesisapples on April 23, 2024, 04:55:14 PMInsane workload? 9-6 with a few hrs off for paperwork and calls in my local surgery. As you have said the GPs have limited availability which hasn't changed despite the massive uptick in need so how is their workload insane? The biggest complaint the seem to have is that they were being taxed too highly on their pension fund.Quote from: bennydorano on April 23, 2024, 04:32:40 PMGP Practices have a limited number of sessions, even if they decided to go part time it would not impact on the number of appointments available at your practice. Most Doctors who leave HSC GP work do so because they can no longer put up with the insane work load.Quote from: Applesisapples on April 23, 2024, 04:15:36 PMI dont think so. Went part time (or just left) NHS to go into the private sector.Quote from: Tones on April 23, 2024, 02:38:10 PMMy friends aunt was up from the South, needed to see a doctor, paid £75 quid to see one in a private clinic in Armagh ran by an ex Tyrones missus, the doctor she saw is the doctor I would see if I ever got an appointment!That Doctor is in all likelihood taking those shifts because his or her practice can not give them any more shifts. Not the fault of the GP but the system.
Quote from: gallsman on April 20, 2024, 10:46:50 AMI agree, not sustainable, but there'd not be a word said if the shoe was on they other foot.John O'Dowd wasn't afraid to close or attempt to close Catholic schools in rural areas. Ultimately though CCMS share some responsibility.
However, why are we so quick to accept that schools should close, but banks and post offices have to stay open?
Quote from: yellowcard on April 15, 2024, 10:09:59 AMI was thinking about this over the weekend and how the game has changed so much and not necessarily for the better. When I first started playing senior football 20 years ago it was all about your ability as a footballer - fitness was always important but was always secondary. I think nowadays you can't make it as a footballer (including club level) unless you have the fitness and athleticism to constantly bomb up and down the pitch. Positions mean less and less nowadays and stupid rules like the mark have not enhanced the game one bit. The je ne sais quoi is gone.Quote from: Jell 0 Biafra on April 15, 2024, 01:04:06 AMQuote from: yellowcard on April 14, 2024, 10:17:49 PMQuote from: AustinPowers on April 14, 2024, 08:53:25 PMQuote from: Sportacus on April 14, 2024, 05:26:12 PMSixty thousand empty seats in Croke Park for a Dublin Meath championship match. What a sad state of affairs.
Sad indeed
A number of obvious reasons for it , but one thing I have to say from watching a numbers of games this weekend, is that the quality of football right now is absolutely dire
As a spectacle it really has become a poor game to watch. Ruined by over coaching and stats, the level of crowd engagement at a match has never been lower.
Yes and no. The league final was a fantastic game. The latter stages of the AI last year were pretty compelling. Lots of mismatches in the early stages, like every year, but that's not uncommon in sport. Look at the top 5 or 6 European soccer leagues this year, and the top teams are pretty much scunnering everyone else.
The League final was great but it was a rarity. I don't think we should be measuring it against soccer but it's almost become possession orientated in the way that soccer is. The difference is that the level of technical skill required in soccer is much higher to retain possession.
Gaelic football was not designed to be a possession sport. It should be a game of duels, collisions and end to end action played at fast pace. It has become anything but that due mostly to data analytics and professional coaches exploiting the rules.

Imagine the rows and fallouts that might develop with players having to remind referees of the rules or pointing out every mistake or inadvertent error they make. They're only human at the end of the day and sometimes prone to making the odd gaffe.
They do anyways
