Not a supporter of any team, but Klopp has done a wonderful job, being competitive against a City who have become a monster. Just looking at their team last night; would Endo, Jones, Konate get their place on the City and Arsenal squads?

Maybe old news to some but hearing the scuffle on the plane before the news broke is related to all this ie it was him and his son in law, anyone else hear this?

Hope this ok to post as not related directly to trial. Also heard stuff in relation to the evidence that may be used but deffo won't post that as directly linked to case. See I'm a good boy Mods 😃

Didn't hear anything about it? What happened?

Armagh must be worth an each way bet. Likely to be top seeds having had some warm up matches to try systems/squad before the Ulster final against a jaded Donegal or Tyrone. They'll probably not have a better chance of making a semi or a final for a while.

In all seriousness, bar drawing Dublin I'd be very disappointed if we don't make a semi final. Donegal, Tyrone, Kerry, Derry, Galway, Mayo all very good teams but have their flaws, time we pushed on, sick of hard luck stories at the qf stage.

You have a serious chance of making top seed and then a 66% chance of drawing Clare or Louth/Kildare as 2nd seed in your group. Avoid the preliminary quarter final thereafter and you're set up to beat the hard luck stories!

Donegal have to be favourites for Ulster and serious All Ireland contenders after that performance at the weekend.

I Watched Donegal back last night. To say they blew Derry off the field is an understatement.  Probably the biggest shock in football since they bate the dubs in 2014 and yer man was at the helm then also.  Mc Guinness takes a lot of flak but I think he is a strategic genius and he has rebuilt Donegal again. Can they win the all Ireland. Id put them ahead of Derry at the moment who will now suffer from an inferiority complex with the teams who beat them, as they always do..

Ah now, hold on there!

I know you'll be wanting to build us up ahead of the weekend, but it was one game, and a game that Jim had six months to prepare for. There's no way in hell we're winning an AI this year. Even Ulster will take a huge effort given what's still there.

Jim is an superb coach, no question, but he can only work with what's there. There are no Murphys or Laceys or McGees in our current squad. And let's see what happens when he comes up against a team that gives us the kick-out and jams up the field inside their 50. We do have good long-range shooters, but it's not a reliable way to win every game.

Anti everything, blame foreigners for all their personal problems, never take responsibility for anything, never solve anything. Most importantly, pretend they care about ireland, citizens, women etc - when they dont.

Most of them would be low down the IQ level and easily manipulated by a few semi intelligent but evil people.

The far right leader tells lies to people he knows are stupid.

I thought that tactic is standard across the world. People buy into that every time come elections

It would be easy to suggest that this was the core tactic of DUP and Sinn Fein to usurp SDLP and UUP, and has been a staple tactic since.

Surely both those parties cannot be far right?

Or that FG tell you lies about the houses they will build but don't. But of course that's not the same thing and you know it.

I just can't see Dublin being caught when it comes to when it really matters. I'm also going to have a punt on Kilkenny as POTY. He is playing far more direct again.

The older stagers like McCarthy and Mick Fitz also add so much. Then if Jack McCaffrey gets right...

Hard to know where the others really are, and Kerry will be cagey too till they need to show their hand.

I see that the Derry Journal journalist wrote an article complaining about Derry fans reaction to the defeat. He said that they aren't real supporters. That is rich for him to say, he probably gets free tickets to the games. It is his job to go to the games.
