A great win. The sort of performance World Cup winners put together

England gave up. If I was a fan I'd be pissed. Awful performance. Borthwick do well to see the year out.

Watched the series about George Jones and Tammy Wynette. Enjoyed it. The 60s and 70s must been mental in the music industry. Same vibes as Elvis and Johnny Cash, amphetamines and drink!

The Hall of Fame for diving in Gaelic football, a one that will never be beaten til the end of time:

Horrible act. I suppose the question should be why has no one been hit with a ban since this. Dives like this should be called out and punished with as ban. Would soon cut it out.

How did this pan out?

There was a ban proposed which is more then has been done to any other team. Fans and the gaa need to look at these issues individually rather than handing out proposed bans because a certain team is involved.

Even the way he appealed his ban made it seem like he was proud of his behaviour which sunk his reputation even further.
His real punishment is that his name will live in infamy because of one bad incident rather than of any positive contributions. He's the Tonya Harding of Gaelic Football.

Tyrone were right to challenge the ban. It highlighted the hypocrisy and selective action taken by the GAA. As we know this was not the first dive in GAA history. The GAA tried to act outside their own rules, driven by the (justifiable) media hype and had to rescind the ban.

That said, McCann was a clown for his actions and deserved any abuse comes his way for that.

This act sums him up.

He’s entitled to his opinion while at the same time accepting an annual salary of £1.2M from the government/taxpayer.

If I publicly criticized my employer in the manner he did I’d be fired by the end of the day

That is also true, and if your criticism is correct you’ll have enough people supporting you.

Who gets to decide if it’s a correct or incorrect opinion?

Is British public opinion on the side of the govt or on Linekers side as it pertains to the “small boat strategy”?

I find this a handy way of knowing....

If you're on the side of the DUP then it's wrong and you're quite possibly a ****. If you're on the opposite side to the DUP then you're probably grand and dead on.

We need to build more houses. It really is that simple. But this isn't just an Irish or Dublin problem, same issue exists in almost every large city in the world. Perth, Sydney, NYC, London are all struggling.
Opposition to new developments needs to stop as well ... cough, cough Sinn Fein.

I thought it seemed to be 92 that changed it. IIRC they would have worn green until they beat wasn't in Mayo in the 92 semi?

Donegal wore  the green jersey with  yellow band  in Ulster final 1992.  A  clash  of colours with mayo in the semi made them  go yellow with green sleeves. They’ve kept  that design pretty much the same since then

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oHqb4S10q3w


I believe Sligo did similar  with the all black design after  a clash with Kildare  in the early days of the qualifiers . After that game , they stuck to the black

Something important happened Donegal in 1992 that may have influenced the jersey choice from then on.

What was that?

They played the traffic cone Dubs in a final.

Forgot McHugh took a point from a Penalty. Should've been thrown out of the competition for doing that.

Not sure how good we were or how bad they were, United could have scored 10; Expecting a lot more from Betis, very poor.

Weghorst will ultimately cost United in a big game by missing chances, could easily have had 4 or 5 goals last night. I hope the experiment of playing him in the no 10 role is over, twice early on against Liverpool we were in on goal if he'd made the pass.

He's very limited. Missed a number of very good chances. Definitely not Utd standard and typical of the Glazer's rein.
Again man management from EtH was superb. Picking the same 11. No one had a good game and if he dropped one he'd have to drop all 11.

But a good win. Bigger challenges ahead.
