Dreadful - to be cut down like that.

RIP to him and my sympathies to his family and friends.

Banshees of Inisherin went home empty handed after receiving 9 nominations. It wasn't a great movie to be fair.

There was a touch of 'Emperor's New Clothes' about it. I thought it was pretty awful.

Even if you are shite you may not be relegated.

LOL - that's for sure.

Relegation will be between Longford, Antrim and Tipp.

We played better yesterday than the previous 3 but still too many defensive mistakes and 16 wides tells the tale.

It may go down to our last game at home v Antrim. Winner stays up.

In Longford the early GAA in the county had some great club names.

A Longford exile has produced an extensive list here

My own favourite is the very early club The Cranley Hearts of Erin

Arlene not happy. That's a good sign 

I don't know where unionism go from here.

Hard unionism has already created another couple of bogeymen in King Charles and the Irish News and the day isn't yet over! The lack of self awareness that Arlene Foster displays is bizarre. She's got her big titles but was the main instigator in leading Unionism down this path yet instead of staying in the background she has continued to put herself at the front and centre of any political debate. Definitely more loyal to the half crown than the crown that one, together with the other Westminster MP cronies.

To my eternal shame I first read that as something else

We were prob lulled into a false sense of our own worth by beating has-been and never-will-bes. For example Longford played more or less top 15 in O'Byrne Cup
Final. Louth only played 2 that started league game following week.

League position rarely lies.

How bad was Longford v Tipp?

Think of the worst game you have ever seen...........and then make it worse.

Tipp were miles better than Longford and were 5 points up with 5 + stoppage to go. In fairness that was 11 in total but Tipp should have been home and hosed at that stage.

33rd min of the second half before Longford registered their first score of the half. Sweet Lord.

Longford are heading south to Div 4 unless there is a miracle. And I don't see a miracle.
