Here we go again .

Turned down 5.5% .

Probably looking 3 months off now in the summer

BBC News - NI teachers reject pay offer of 5.5%  https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg45py7wdrzo

I hear the Unions made real fools of themselves recommending a bad deal and the teachers threw it back at them. The teachers I know want a workload agreement, but their Unions keep waffling on about how great they are getting them a pay deal.

That's about the height of it. 5.5% is generous. Pay isn't the issue; workload is. Inspections are a red herring; you're lucky to get one of them every decade. Unions totally misread the room.

The principals' union NAHT voted to accept it. Massively out of touch with their staff.

Still a fair few work shy folk will be standing (or more likely sitting) in front of kids tomorrow.

Does senior hurling still take place on Mondays? There must be a tonne of new pitches built in the county since last year.

Yip to your question, not your statement.
 
Minor LGFA and camogie is alternate Mondays.

I'm hearing Minor Mondays, under 14 Tuesdays and under 16 Thursdays.

Minor ladies Mondays too.

Pointing a 41m free from directly in front of the posts shouldn't be worth two points.

Learned absolutely nothing from that game that we didn't know two years ago.

And another with Mattie Donnelly.

Coldrick very selective with 50m thing.
Didn't penalise Ronan Cassidy for an obvious one.

Morgan will have a field day in the second half.

Burns didn't get it easy.

Certainly didn't. Decent interview by Kielty.

I'm thinking Jarlath isn't doing himself any favours.

St Micheal's got 718, they had alot more, yrs bck. That still more boys than nearly any other school. It's not a small puck fball wise.

Yes, probably bigger than St Pat's and the convent.

I remember Pobalscoil Chloich Cheannfhaola playing McRory.

I'm guessing that was back in the 80s when some of the Killybegs lads from Donegal's 1992 team were boarding there? I think they won the McLarnon with those lads, a few years after Eunans had won it.

Yes, early 80s. Maghera lucky to get past them and St Columb's on the way to a McRory. 82 or 83 I reckon.

All school enrolments are available online for those interested enough.

Somebody would need to tell the commentators that their mics are still on.

Controversial enough goal that

Thought the same.

Outthought and outfought. Only CCV comes out of that with any credit.
