[LEAGUE TITLE]

Armagh went way back from Last year, I don't know if Armagh supporters can see it, but their whole game is all about sitting very deep, it just doesnt work.

Hoping yesterday was just a bad day at the office. Lack of intensity and Donegal were able to get space in and around the D very easily which is worrying and you'd hope that won't happen come championship.

We seem to set up defensively to match defensive teams, we did it against Monaghan last year too and it really doesn't suit us. If Derry were playing Donegal they'd impose their own gameplan and take the game to them whereas we don't. We looked good for ten minutes yesterday when we took the handbrake off and played to our strengths. Chaos suits us.

Yesterday was a Division 2 final, once promoted this game is nothing more than a run out for most teams. Especially teams who have been in the first division recently.

Many on here were comparing it to the Division One final where there was a LEAGUE TITLE to be won. Naturally the intensity for that game would be greater.

3 Contenders for Sam
7 or 8 for 5 Qtr Final places.

There are two contenders for Sam - Kerry and Dublin.

The best bit of yesterday for Liverpool fans was seeing Guardiola trying to humiliate Grealish. Pep has every right to manage as he sees fit but that was a show for the cameras, and was about power and control rather than instruction. Maybe there's some underlying resentment about his fee or his behaviour after winning the European Cup, but this was pathetic from the Spaniard. Grealish is a brilliant player and while I was disappointed he chose England, he had every right to, and he seems like a decent lad. For his self-respect he should leave- unless Pep beats him to it.

What happened

Pep gives Grealish a going over

Remember Dublin lost League finals in  2011, 2017, 2020.

2011 Kerry, Mayo 2017 had the opportunity of beating Dublin and found ways to lose I doubt Derry will do the same if given the same opportunity this summer.

Before you get on your high horse, They made hard work of today after being in two comfortable positions? Derry have also to navigate a tough province to get seeding.

Also, remember this is the League, it's great to win and for confidence. But it means FA in the summer.

That's the first time that a Dublin team has lost a final at home in a long time.

Great result. Being in front on the home front is a big part of winning a title race.

I see the LLS is doing a GAA special next Friday evening.

Avoid avoid avoid

They should merge themes like GAA and country music

In fairness, PK will know a bit more about the GAA than the previous plebs who hosted the LLS.

chances of john waters getting elected.

It'd be no harm. The amount of TD's swimming with this sh*tty tide is depressing. Dail needs a shake up.
We've had no opposition for some time now. Not since the Banking crash. And our press and media are handcuffed by being subsidised by the Government.

[a single unionist party will be imperative]

Will they just wait till the next election or will him stepping down generate a by-election ?

It should generate a by election but will anyone be in a hurry to do this?
Sorcha Eastwood's chances much improved.

If the DUP lose 2 Westminster seats and presuming the Shinners don't a single unionist party will be imperative

It's their only hope of remaining a substantial block. Alliance are stealing from both sides who don't want to identify with old skool NI Civil war politics.

Although (I presume) the DUP party are innocent in all this, You cannot feel that it will tarnish the Party.
And who of the minnow Unionist Parties would want to Align with them?

Will he lose his ''SIR'' title?

All those photos around the house of people shaking hands with Jeff will be getting binned!

The UDR will take his name off their wall too

All the ones up on people's Dart boards will stay UP though. These things balance themselves out over......

Those photo's will be handy to light the fire on the 11th!

In 10 years they have had as leaders;
Ian Paisley
Peter Robinson
Arlene Foster
Edwin Poots
Jeffrey Donaldson
Gavin Robinson

The melt-down continues.

In the words of the late Ian Paisley (senior) ''Where's Jeffrey?''

Its a poisoned chalice for whoever steps in next as well. They will have to appoint a leader soon as there are elections coming up in the next year. I don't see too many who would be queuing up to get the job with all of the issues that they have to deal with.

Maybe the unelected Emma Little-Pengelly could be leader? Sure she is Deputy First Minister? For a Party who were very worried about Mandates in the 70's and 80's, they sure let their own moral hardline slip when it came to their own.
