Same guy that shared a brave and honest account of his experience of depression and how alcohol began to worsen his mental health?

Yeah he had a book about his battle with depression alright.

Quote from: Nanderson on November 28, 2023, 10:02:13 PMNewcastle done out of an unexpected win in Paris from blatantly wrong refereeing decision

Yeah it was great. Eddie Howe goes from the spokesperson on referee respect a couple weeks ago to a critic. No sympathy for him or Newcastle. A man who couldn't answer about Saudi and treatment of journalists but couldn't answer quick enough about Saudi hosting a world cup. The biggest hypocrite in sport

Quote from: clarshack on November 26, 2023, 05:25:53 PMBig win for Cullyhanna against Liatroim who are a decent side. Fancy Cullyhanna now to beat Division 1 Ballyhaise in the Final.

Don't worry the Cavan folk will tell you that the league doesn't matter and playing div 1 football is no advantage.

Speaking to Armagh lads I know they say Cullyhanna were a senior team playing intermediate.

Quote from: RedHand88 on November 26, 2023, 04:12:36 PMI think if anyone liverpool will push them this year. They've improved significantly since last year. The rebuild klopp has done in midfield has been incredible.

Liverpools defence is giving up too many chances and don't have a proper 6.

I don't even think a good number 6 is needed in the new system when you've 2 of the best number 8s in the league. Teams are constantly on the back foot against it.

And yet defensively they are giving up too many chances?

Quote from: intheknowhow on November 25, 2023, 03:14:26 PMDo Cavan people realise that the majority of counties operate their championships and leagues combined? You can lose a senior champ final in Monaghan and still be relegated.
Yes, we do realise. But as we don't do it here, League is essentially easy going. The simple fact is they're not linked, so teams don't go all out for League as they know it's Championship you go up or down in.

Do others realise they're not linked in Cavan and Arva are where they are based on Championship results? It's that simple here. Seriously, how hard is it to understand that on Championship results, Arva are where they are on merit. They were poor enough in Championship to get relegated in 2021, and to lose a Junior final last year. Comprende?

I would doubt that, I'd say majority of counties have league and championship seperate

Yeah most counties nationally it's seperate.

Quote from: theticklemister on November 25, 2023, 12:09:54 PMWhat about Ballyhaise today lads. Heard they are a decent outfit

Ballyhaise are a big strong athletic team with some excellent forwards. Have been trying to win an intermediate for years and beat in a number of finals.

Quote from: intheknowhow on November 21, 2023, 09:47:02 AMIt's not fair though that a team Can play a league above their grade that they are in for championship.

If you are no good in the league tough luck, you get relegated for championship.

You are either a junior, intermediate or senior club... not senior club for the league but intermediate for the championship because you feel like it

Arva playing junior champ and D1 league, therefore league 2 grades above their champ positioning

They have cooked the books, like Kerry do, personally I'd be embarrassed turning in for junior champ knowing full well i was a senior player in a senior team, hollow victories all round

Yeah you're right, they cooked the books. They deliberately lost last years junior final. Sure didn't they start kicking the ball over their own bar.

Quote from: Jell 0 Biafra on November 18, 2023, 06:21:28 PMWhy would that mean it would increase? What's a points deduction this season to last season's relegated clubs?

Because with other clubs set to sue and reopen case the punishment may increase.

Even if the case was reopened, how would an increased point deduction help these other clubs?  Even if they were able to show a sporting advantage had accrued to Everton, that would have been in previous seasons. Docking them more points this season doesn't help with that.


There would also be a fine.

Quote from: Itchy on November 17, 2023, 06:38:10 PMIreland U21s suffer from same problem as seniors, no midfield players worth talking about. Passing the ball aimlessly around at the back and then hoofing it up the channels.
No doubt some truth and learnings in that but I thought the 21s were a bit unlucky. Brilliant second goal to go 2-1 up, missed a few chances to go 3-1 up that would have killed the game, then an individual error to concede a ridiculous penalty and a sucker punch a minute or so later to go 3-2 down. A draw was the least they deserved, but don't always get what you deserve.

If only they could have played Andrew Moran.
