What sex/preferences etc the shooter is hardly matters in this instance though.

The headline should be yet another mass shooting in a school in the US & those poor families - nothing else

The Easter Rising, proclamation & all of the farming/tractor jerseys are abominations

Enjoyable game in Omagh yesterday and we just about deserved the victory.

Hoping Canavans knock is minor enough.

Some great long range scores yesterday - mainly in part to there being no other option as Armagh had dropped back.

The hit by Armagh number 3 was a hard one to call - but Cassidy got everything else right on the day so no complaints with a yellow.

Our kickouts in the first half were made easy by simply kicking it over the blanket press.

Only once did I feel the game was getting away from us - when we went one behind I was fearing the worst as they were on top of us. But as soon as they went in front they then retreated and went back to being this uber defensive team - strange decision whoever called that.

So Div 1 again next year - the last few weeks of the league have been very positive for us and sets us up nicely for the cship.

Any Armagh posters. What's the story with Oisin O'Neill? Will both brothers be missing or are either likely to come back for championship. if rumours are true

dont think we will see Oisin this year. Dont know whats going on with Rian

Heard Rian was out injured then heard some other nonsense via social media channels 

If ONeill doesnt play Sunday then we can have no complaints if we dont win

Would guess the whole backroom team is going with him.

Doesnt leave much time for a new team to come in with cship around the corner.

Or will Kavanagh step up now?

The show is well and truly over for wee Jeff and the lads.

He either toes the line or its direct rule.

The last kick of a dying party will want to cause carnage here

We are tripping over ourselves to make the other side favourites.  How typically GAA.

No way - we are deservedly favourites.

Mind you I envisage an absolute borefest given what I have seen of Armagh lately

Tyrone are favourites - and deservedly so.

Forget about the last 5 or 6 years - we are slowly starting to look like a team again.

Armagh on the other hand have regressed completely from last year

It cannot be underestimated the difference Mattie Donnelly makes to that team. Simply immense this last few games. We need to either find another one for the next 10 years or regenerate him.

+1

He brings a level of leadership and calmness than is sadly missing when he is not on the pitch.

Mayo - Another year another false dawn
Galway - Grinding out results - if they can get Comer & Walsh firing on all cylinders they will kick out. Great midfield
Kerry - No need to even think about peaking yet - currently just going through the motions
Rossies - Many teams in the league seemed to underestimate them - will be happy with the finish but do nothing as usual come cship
Armagh - Not a clue what McGeeney has done with this team. From all out attack to all out defence. Deserve to go down
Tyrone - Starting to come good and I still dont think we have clicked. Will be a test for any team in the round robins
Monaghan - Could have the great escape yet again - wont count come cship time unless McManus & Mcarron are 100%
Donegal - Shambles of a set up on and off the field

Accidental landlord as well.

Rent covers the mortgage and rates with £10 left over after the mortgage payments increased.

Tenants in for around 8 years - a family - no rent increases in that time and they look after all of the maintenance.

I have had conversations in the past with other people who have multiple houses and they reckon I am mad to not increase the rent. But if it isnt costing me money and I am getting no hassle whatsoever from the tenants I dont see they point for a couple of extra quid a month.
