Any truth to the rumour Fionn McEldowney has hurt himself at work?

Heard that as well. Looks like he's out of Wednesdays game.

Back injury.

Seems to be a few injuries for the U20s the past few weeks!

He's named in the squad for tomorrow to start.... Sargent named as well on the bench. Is this a he's still part of the team carry-on?

Saw that there now. Good news if it turns out to be true. Seems strange to name Sargent on the bench.

Fantastic to see him finally get over the line. He made us sweat!!

Unbelievable. He deserves a break.

I've backed Aberg didn't think he's have a chance but these two are opening up chances

He's playing well enough to give it a rattle.

Well settled now. DeChambeau looking at bit rattled.

Shocking start from McIlroy

Great Eagle on 15. Long way to go yet but he's grinding when he needs to so far

The most pragmatic thing to do would be to build something that's fit to host Antrim club finals and inter county games with a view to expanding when funds become available.

What is preventing this happening?

Stubborness, pride, delusion ... Take your pick

Disappointing second half. Game never in the balance.

Another meltdown! It's a long way back now.

Maybe like the mcrory, this competition could've been old rules ?
Not sure, maybe someone will clarify

Was old rules in place. Issue has come from the referee putting down an Omagh CBS point as a point for Maghera. So Omagh should have won by 2 in the end. The referee went and corrected the scoreboard to the incorrect scoreline that he had - so it is refereeing error, a very big one at that.

Ok, so it should be sorted out without a replay then. However, this is the GAA and anything is possible

He said it was a good time to buy, less than 4 hours before he announced the tariff pause. Insider trading, plain and simple. Will he be dinged for it ... not a chance. The wild west!

Anyone understand this Bonds market?

I presume it's bad news for the US when they want to borrow money that no one wants to buy their bonds, pushing up the interest rates and making them more expensive..

In a word, yes. The rates are rising because people are selling. It may be the Chinese, but probably a lot of hedge funds unwinding margin basis trades as well. Either way, a rising 10 year rate is bad news for US debt. The 10 year auction went OK today but if they run out of buyers the US banks have to pick up the rest. That won't be pretty if that happens.

Bloomberg

"The old 54% tariff rate on China boosted total CPI (Consumer Price Inflation) by 0.35 percentage points. The new 104% rate would lead to a rise in total CPI of 0.67 percentage points.
In other words, if the 104% tariff proves to last , then you should add an extra two-thirds of a percentage point to your inflation forecast. The latest reading of headline CPI is 2.8% (the next is due Thursday). All else equal, the tariffs on China should raise this to just under 3.5%. It hasn't been that high in 12 months.
There seems rare unanimity among pollsters that Trump owed his victory to inflation, more than any other single issue. Inflation by its nature hurts the poorest the most. The people buying cheaper Chinese imports will disproportionately be his supporters. Can this threat possibly be credible"

So Trump's tarifs will increase inflation for the gobshites who voted for him. MAGA

It'll likely be a while before tarrifs show up in the inflation numbers, but as to how many basis points they will add, I don't think anyone really knows. There is no precedent for tarrifs like these. If the tarrifs last for any prolonged length of time, it won't be good. The Orange one is coming across as unhinged.
