Putting a new man onto an already yellow carded player to get him sent off.  A harbinger for 2016.  And in the McKenna cup too lol

Put under pressure, Illdecide has responded by considerably upping his game 

Thats the ball .............. usually shouted when a huge aimless up and under is launched in.

Well that'll pipe down some delusion pool fans and obsessed media commentators

The latter part of that statement is more credible than the former. Don't think too many Pool fans are getting ahead of themselves. Whereas the media are in awe of JK. Poor performance, just like home to Palace, didn't deserve to win. On to the next one.

I think Liverpool have every chance of winning the League, there's nothing out there to terrify anybody.

Hmmm?? I could quote a lot more but this will do for starters 

Emmmm I'm not a Liverpool fan. I will happily don the hat of obsessed media commentator though.

The West won't bomb their Saudi mates.

And therein lies the problem...instead of closing off their own borders closed down the influx of Isis heading into Syria ... Cutting of the supplies will eventually work a lot better than bombing the shit out of it.... Gather up all the radical preachers also and get talking (or paying)

Heh? Wtf??

Who do you think supplies the arms to Saudi? Britain, France, the US and Russia are hardly gonna start bombing themselves.

I doubt if a majority of the 26 county electorate would vote for a UI,a prerequisite as well as a Northern majority I would presume.Interesting at a Brexit conference I attended in Newry (due to the location the vast majority of the audience was Northern nationalist) recently,one of the guest speakers Bertie Ahern, emphasised at the start that he was there in the capacity as a "good neighbour", not as a fellow Irish nationalist,now if that's the way an old time Fianna Fáil leader thinks,God help us all.

If by some miracle there was a majority vote in favour of a UI,North and South,Northerners would be viewed with suspicision and inevitably treated as second class citizens and not regarded as being truly Irish.

The way forward is the establishment a promotion of a Common Northern Irish identity, to push sectarianism and xenophobia out to the margins,with the existing de facto joint authority between Britain and the 26 counties,with the 26 counties beefing up their current endorsing of everything Britain says role.

Is there any way of turning this nonsense fountain off???

Well if you care to give a cursory glance at any index for either of these categories yuo will find that the 26 comes out ahead of the UK most times in most categories. And these are measured on a UK wide basis, you can be sure that the scores for NI as a  stand alone entity is not within a beagle's gowl [sp] of the figures for the UK as a whole. As far's I can see this is a no-brainer.


The quip about your profession was childish, my apologies.

Anyone postulating that the standards of living or the quality of life isn't higher south of the border needs their head examined, theres no comparison between the respsctive economies and thats with England shovelling money into NI to prop up a basic standard of living. 

That is a load of nonsense. Unless I am in the minority - and I don't think so here - there is nothing wrong with the quality of life in NI. Anyone I know who works in a comparable profession in the south of ireland certainly has no higher a quality of life and I would argue less so.

That is not that I am saying there is anything wrong with the quality of life in the "free state" but your statement is nonsense.

You seem to be confusing standards of living and quality of life there mate. I know I spend a few weekends every summer down south [as do 100's of thousands of other people], to get away from the rampant sectarianism in all it's bilious forms in NI. Glad it doesn't affect you in your 'profession'   

[Ireland is a better country to live in than the UK when it's all said and done.]

Vote for UI without hesitation. Ireland is a better country to live in than the UK when it's all said and done.

I am amazed that people can't see that.

Outside of London and the south east, much of the UK is a complete kip. It remains a very class based society where everyone knows their place and there are many glass ceilings. Unionists desperately subscribe to this class based society as it elevates them above their Catholic neighbours (certainly in their minds).

I find some of our friends from across the water have a remarkable innate sense of entitlement. They may be brand new in a job, but they feel they should be promoted immediately and should have the best pay. Before they have lifted a finger. Hidden in that thinking is that they look down on everyone they work with, because they come from a higher class. Not all of them are like that, but far more of them are than any other nationality I have dealt with. For example Americans view their prospects based on hard work as far as I can see. Almost all of them have a complete absence of that sense of entitlement.

Most of the EU is far less class oriented than the UK and this is probably part of the problem for the Tories.

Is it?!! The Health System is completely fucked and expensive! The public sector is massively over subscribed. We would have to pay a "Universal Social Charge" whatever the f**k that is. Throw that in along with the Water Tax, the insurance levy, the price of accomodation buying or renting. The Banking system is inherently flawed in the mortgage market as there isn't enough competition.

Everything's relatively expensive compared to UK ... rent, gas, mobile phones (Way more expensive than UK), Sky, Internet, general food, clothes, alcohol.

In general it's going to cost me more to join a United Ireland. Yes of course I'd love to be free from British Tyranny and for ideological reasons I'd love to be part of a United Ireland but at present it certainly does not appeal to me!!

Re relegating your ideals to an accounts sheet, Groucho Marx said 'I have my principles and if you don't like them, well i can always change them'

I heard Colin Bell on the radio this morning talking about the work the trust does, some of it in close harmony with the Claddagh Association, sounds like a truly wonderful organisation.

Yes it appears there were 5 deaths in the Irish ex pat community in Perth over the last week. Apart from the 2 lads yesterday, [RIP], there was a further construction related accident, a car accident and a sudden illness death also.


Must be an absolute nightmare for the families to get that call. The wee lad from Omagh had only gone out there a month ago.

No mention of that in the rules at all afaik. But it's hard for 2 lads to shoulder one person at the same time. Amusingly this happened to me one time and the 2 lads bounced of me like a rubber ball leaving me relatively unscathed, forces of equal and opposite mass and all that lol

Contact with another player is only permitted shoulder to shoulder. All other physical contact resulting in a foul. Maybe some whizzkid can cut and paste the relevant rule. Again.
