Any objections to Glenravel and Aldergroves inclusion in div 1 now? Both taking pts off top half teams?

These teams will be way ahead fitness wise than any of the regular Div1 Teams, they know the only chance they have is to pick up early points and then try to cling on.

Shocking how bad they can be in one instance and then how dangerous they can look in the next moment.

That inconsistency in one spell within a game never mind across a few games is unreal.

Goldbridge isn't happy 😁

It would be worth Southgate becoming manager just to get that idiot off the social media, he's an absolute dose.

Total dose and has been called out on numerous occasions for some of his bullshit.

That being said I would not be a fan of appointing Southgate.

Yeah but it wasn't driven into people by some army council boy landing round to the house of everyone with kids in them. It was driven into us by our parents. It wasn't some pre planned notion of this will get a united ireland - it was a notion that education will give you better chances in life. These boys seem to think that it was a joined up effort by the entire population. Bonkers.

Well said.

But that is the absolute perception out there even amongst the non-hardliners, everything was one big conspiracy against them, it was all joined up thinking by those pesky Taigs.

Good luck to the St Killian's hurlers today. Just leaving Castlebellingham now. Feels like half the Glens are here.

Coming home as All Ireland B Champions will feel good for those lads and management.

Was a very slick performance, some super hurlers on that team.

No great love for Teachers, but the fact that someone is such an important job is unable to put a roof over their own head is a crazy situation for any country to be in.

Where is the long term future in this when things are the way they are now?

Could stormont not pass a lawing limiting premiums or would that need to be London? It is properly scandalous. Reducing car insurance and having roads fit for purpose are 2 issues that would please a lot of people if they were sorted

Pretty sure all these Insurance companies end up back with about 4/5 multi national huge companies.
I would doubt even London would have the clout to do anything about it, even if the will was there to do something, which there isn't.

I thought the u20s had a serious looking panel with plenty of firepower up top. Couldnt make the game but a forward line with joe mclaughlin, aodhan mcgarry, niall mcgarrell and cormac mckeown should be a serious outfit

Seniors are where probably expected with the few opting out, retirements etc

U20s would be more of a concern for sure.

I'd done a couple of trial games leading up to the start of the championship and its not for the lack of effort put in from what I could see, probably just beaten by the better team on the day?

Yeah as far as I am aware the preparations were good, which to me makes it even more worrying that we aren't beating Derry (No disrespect intended)

Is that the campaign over or do they still get into Leinster for the AI?

Derry are now in the Leinster B championship, Antrim could well be in an AI "B" competition or even lower down, my contact hasn't got back to me yet.

They aren't in any of them, they have decided not to enter and their season is over

Well then there would need to be a few more questions asked now if that is the case.

Would there have been anything to gain plying in an All Ireland B against the likes of Roscommon, Donegal etc ? Management nor players wanted to take part.

They have been training since November,some of them involved with CPC & GT in the Mageean & the GT players still on the go until this weekend. They have probably had enough

I don't think that there would be anything to be gained from this either.

My point was that questions would need to be asked with the level of preparation into this group that we are out at this point.

Why would anyone edit a photo in the way this was done. Doesn't make sense. Applying a filter etc doesn't introduce inconsistencies to the image like the ones here. It would be some serious image manipulation such as adding people into a picture that would introduce these types of anomalies. 

Some soap opera all the same.

And it turns out the one they put out of them together in the Range Rover is doctored as well.

Some GCSE graphics student on placement in Kensington Palace is getting the boot.

I normally couldn't give two shites about them and wouldn't walk to the back door to see any of them but am interested in this in the hope that I'm witnessing an implosion and the start of the end of days of the British Royal family. Be another blow to the Union!

I think you could be right about that. This is really turning out to be a complete disaster.

The funny thing is the next decade could see the dissolution of the Union and the sidelining of the Royal family. The likelihood is that this will be overseen by a Labour government....is that a good thing for them politically?

The British class system depends on the Royals, it's hard to see where it goes from here if Charles pops the clogs in the next year or so.

Don't think Labour will need to go near it, once Charles goes it will start to happen naturally. Eventually they will end up like the Royals in European countries, on the side lines.

Didn't know who was worse for diving last night, Porto or Arsenal.  A terrible advertisement of modern day football.  The only plus point was the referee letting things go at times. 

Thought the ref was great and managed the game well.

Arteta is an awful bollix

Sky will be rubbing their hands after yesterdays result.

Real possibility at this point it could come down to goal difference.

Boxers usually deteriorate physically but the weird case with AJ was that he obviously had mental issues which affected his performances post losing to Ruiz. He became more hesitant, committed less offensively etc. and even tried to just outbox Usyk. Based on the last 2 fights under BDs tutelage, it looks like he has overcome those issues now and looks like the old front foot fighter he was. That fighter could beat Usyk, or Fury.

Don't he has the mentality to beat either, which is a pity as I would love to see him beat Fury all around the ring.

I don't think either Fury or AJ are beating Usyk as things stand at the moment.
