Brutal the level of ignorance in our media with the standings. I have seen it reported that Cavan are relegated and that Mayo are guaranteed a league final appearance with a win.
Neither statement is correct.

While it is unlikely, if Cavan win, Ros draw and Monaghan lose and if Monaghan's losing margin plus Cavan's winning margin is greater than 5 (or equal to 5 and Cavan score 6 points more than Monaghan) then Cavan would stay up.

If Mayo, Galway and Kerry all win (or if Kerry draw), Mayo will finish third.
If Mayo and Galway win and Kerry lose, it would depend on margins. Mayo currently +7, Galway +0 and Kerry +11. Most likely Mayo and Kerry in this scenario, but could technically be any 2 of the three.
If Mayo draw and Tyrone beat Galway, Mayo would finish second by virtue of H2H win over Tyrone.
If Mayo draw and Galway draw or win, Galway would finish second.
If Mayo lose they cannot finish in the top 2.

The only way Kerry do not qualify for the final is if Mayo and Galway both win well and Kerry lose heavily. Galway win plus Kerry loss would need to be 12 points

I agree. The best place to get the league standing is on Twitter at @GAALeagueTables.

General discussion / Alan Partridge - aha
March 19, 2019, 11:23:56 AM
Has anyone been watching the new Alan Partridge on the BBC? This time round, he's ripping programmes like The One Show.

This scene last night, he played the part of his lookalike Martin from Sligo. Didn't expect to see this to go out on prime time BBC television.  :D

Great game of football tonight. First victory against Dublin in 6 years and Mickey's 300th game as manager.

A great game of attacking football and it was wonderful to watch. I was delighted to see Mickey bringing on players to take the game to Dublin, instead of trying to defend slim leads.

A different kettle of fish to the red hot intensity of Championship football, but it will go a long way in boosting the confidence and belief in this group of lads that they can take on Dublin in Croke Park and win.
Well Ziggy I suppose that's it, the death knell already tolls for rest of Ulster
Carry the flag for Ulster with pride when you get to CP and take on Dublin  :D

Miaow 😂

Don't think the EU will grant any extension.

They will if the UK Government have a credible plan that they can work together....

Nope, you're right. EU won't. ;)

Every time you refresh the page AI generated image of a person who does not exist.

Something a little upsetting seeing the faces of people who do not exist.

Some of the ones in work today didn't know what The Big Breakfast was; they were even more confused when I mentioned Gaby Roslin.

I was talking about Thundercats the other day at work and the new lad asked me what that was...  ???

Drink driving in films, especially American films where they go to a bar get hammered and drive home.

Nolan on about Vegans, so he is !

How many posters are vegans or vegetarians ?

Not vegan, but trying to wean myself off red meat. Off it now over a month, but my doctor said I need a bit now and again for iron purposes. So had a bit at the weekend. In such a short period of time, my stomach didn't know what to do with it and I had gut rot for a few days.

May stay off it now and look for iron supplements instead.

A good prescription of Guinness would have been the best method of getting iron back into the body!

Best advice I've got yet. Time to get some Guinness in me.

Cutting back on it is fine and even admirable but will you not miss the odd big juicy steak? I know I would!

I did for the first few weeks, not anymore.

Well, I'd need to see more information on how they intend to construct the sites, how they intend to store the material and how they intend to safeguard it... as well as the incentives given to the locals for having it in their region.

Blindly saying "no" without even trying to understand the what does nothing for my opinion of Chris Hazzard and Colin McGrath. Neither are educated in the area so neither are qualified to blindly reject the concept.


For instance, *if* it is low level waste that will release less radiation than Radon naturally releases within the Mournes area, and *it* comes with a £100m a year boost into the local economy, is it not then worth at least *considering*?

In Greencastle, they have huge gold mine and they want to bury cyanide in it. The UK have said that this is a perfect place to bury their toxic waste.

As for policing it. The PSNI were policing it, but Dalradian didn't pay them. So now they have external "protectors" in.

Spend three weeks as a person with a disability inspiring a group of misfits and being accepted as their friend.

Never seen again.
