Can anyone cite an example of a large project in Ireland thats been a resounding success?

M50?

Port tunnel, Luas???

Ciara Mageean diagnosed with cancer. Terrible news that.

Yeah, it was known about down here for a week or more.

Sad news for her and hopefully she makes a full recovery irrespective of the running.

And to think we all thought he was nicknamed "The Dodger" due to his nifty footwork on the pitch.

Those Lads around Gowran knew better.

Following on from my depressing post last night, weeks have passed since a few politicians in Westminster had the balls to stand up and call out this evil genocide. Two called it out on a Friday, and I remember saying to the wife, as a real tide, or so it felt was finally turning, (outside of public opinion)  I wonder how it'll all be this time next Friday?
Well, that was about 6 or 7 weeks ago, and the story now is Bob Vylan, Kneecap etc... It just shows how powerful these evil fu$kers are and how weak, morally corrupt, self serving and money hungry politicians are

The small matter of Iran helped change the news cycle as well.

And who started that little war?

It was all and good until the hypersonic missiles started landing in Tel Aviv and Haifa, then the Zionists set to work on Trump to get him to bomb Iran for them.


The stranglehold the Zionists have on the US is something else and to an extent intriguing how a world super power can be controlled to this extent due to the thirst for money and a strange religious dogma or ideology about Jesus' second coming.

Israel and Zionism is the ultimate parasite with the US tax payers the life giving host who gain absolutely nothing from this relationship.

 

Terrible news that.

What a blow to the families involved.

RIP Diogo.

I see the papers have listed some of the people stung by Carey. No mention of Worzel Gummidge otherwise known as John Power.
He was supposed to be out of pocket by a 6 figure sum.

John Power, the farmer also of 80s hurling fame?

The issue is if they go and try to get a different plan in place with what they have, that's months maybe even years down the line and the costs probably away up again.

That's true. And waiting on someone shaking the money tree in their direction has been a fairly speedy process.

The original offer of £54M was made back in 2011 I believe so I think the GAA are looking Stormont to include compound interest accrued in that timeframe, so that might take that original figure northwards to £70M.

I can't see that washing with Mr Lyons TBH...

There'd still be a big gap, but both the GAA and the Irish Gov are waiting on Stormont coughing up more.

I think the question being asked is "Have Rossa not already won the league?"

I can't see a postponed game from before the split being allowed to go ahead at this stage. Surely there is a cut off? Who knows?
And Rossa beat Dunloy in head to head score difference.

Or am I missing something else?

+ 5 to Rossa in the head to head even if they lose to Ballycastle.

There's no way Dunloy can complain about the missed game vrs Portaferry at this stage in the competition.

A friendly reminder: Tipp went winless in 2018.  They won the All Ireland the next year.  They went winless in 2024.  The next year...

Can't keep a good county down!

I like it.
We've already dumped Clare out on their home patch, sent Waterford packing too, didn't give Galway a sniff of it last day out. We're unbeaten since April.

Now we're facing a county with no All Ireland in 10 YEARS, who got here via a glorified Joe McDonagh provincial competition, still looking to a pensioner in TJ Reid, putting sellotape on Eoin Cody to get him back....and people are starting to think that maybe we have a chance 

When was the last time Tipp got to Croke Park?

Probably their camogs.

The table read like this last week:
                        P  Diff  Pts
St John's        11  14  16

Rossa             10  31  14

Dunloy           10  49  14

Ballycastle      11  21  14



So, it was score difference between those on the same points.

Rossa bagged 2 one point victories since last wednesday and would be in the driving seat to take home an All county title.

Which still begs the question How Ta Fúck did we beat them up on the Shaws Road is beyond belief as we have been really poor ever since.

Ports deducted a point for not fielding against the Dall on Sunday. One of the Sands brothers got married the day before and the teams couldn't agree another time/date.

There used to be a £300 fine as well for not fielding, is that still a thing?

Taking time keeping away from the ref would have seen Cork win the 2013 All Ireland. Brian Gavin kept playing until Clare equalised. 

And if the wee dog hadn't of shít, it would have burst...

Sick puppy of a man, but I presume nothing actually came off his depravity and the woman work colleague wasn't physically interfered with?

An unblemished police record, yeah, looks like it!!!

Meanwhile across the Lagan, in the leafy suburbs known as Carryduff they had 7 teams at P4, all with 7 kids on each team and that was in hurling at the last Down primary school blitz.

I'd hate to see what they have at the football...

5 seconds?
You could run 20 metres in that time and you wouldn't need to be Usain Bolt.

No one with a bit of wit would be writing Tipp off, they are in with a serious chance of winning on Sunday, no doubt about that.

Looking back on the quarter final it was shocking the amount of space Jake Morris was afforded by Galway and they paid dearly for it.

For me he's their main attacking threat and Kilkenny will know that.

Whilst Kilkenny didn't have to do anything special to saunter through the Leinster championship they will know Tipp are made of sterner stuff and won't be genuflecting merely at the sight of a black and amber jersey.

I still think the winning of this game is how the Tipp backs deal with the Kilkenny forwards and if Kilkenny have the full compliment of Cody, Keoghan, Mullin and John Donnelly in there I can't see the Tipp defence holding them out.
