Only the 30 points in it 

It wasn't because fearon was standing up for the Catholic Church it was where he was laying blame for abuse and bear in mind there is every chance there is someone here, or someone close to someone here, who has been impacted by that. He deserved the flak he got for what he said. He's no martyr just like it's misguided to think this Burke fella is.

He owes about 80 grand in fines.

There's talk of a receiver being appointed so they can start to get it back by garnishing his wages.

Bank of Ireland ordered to pay 40k of money from Burke's bank account to the court in 7 days.

Scary.

Cash is king folks.

Not really scary to be honest. I would have had sympathy at the start for him but he continues to rack up court fines by repeatedly breaking the court order, what do you expect?
If any of us behaved the way he did with our boss, you'd be suspended. If you continued to ignore the suspension day in day out the only outcome is court order. Repeatedly break that and of course this happens.

Scary in that the state can just take your money from your bank like that.

I still think he's 100% right but I wouldnt have had his stubbornness lol

He deserves every bit of that money taken of him. If he has it he should be paying his fines.

Imagine the position he puts the other teachers and those children at the school in too. The fella is a disgrace.

I kind of expect your man of the US politics thread to do that.

Meath really dropped off in the league - wonder why that was?

Division 2 is absolutely fine if you're staying in it or looking at promotion. It's just making sure you don't go into freefall as 3 a disaster but highly unlikely to happen to Tyrone. Derry are a funny team and while I don't think that will happen to them I wouldn't be shocked if it did either. The wheels have come off there but they should have enough quality that it *shouldn't* be freefall.

Live on BBC for those who can't get tickets...

i think it's important to see *some* of this kind of thing to see what is going on in certain spheres. Within reason though.

Why a galway scarf with a thick belfast accent... (In Belfast too)

Is there ever going to be any consideration for the league finals? The division 1 final this year in particular looks to be something that teams are almost actively avoiding so you have to ask what's the point.

Scheduling a championship match for a week after the league final makes a farce of it. Surely it's time to do away with league finals?

The lack of discussion on here about relegation to Div 4 shows the real problem in this county, no one really gives a toss

I don't think so. The discussions resort into this club, that club etc. It's hugely disappointing to be relegated and it's hugely disappointing that the reality is that if you were an objective outsider looking at division 3 we would have probably been candidates for it. Hard to know where we go from here. Probably a new manager you'd imagine but there's a lot more to it than just one manager.

Randalstown were in division one before it was extended were they not?

Alder grove wouldn't be in a twelve team division one but they are much better than they used to be.

Does the ref think this is 90 minutes??

Galway aren't good... (though cork are very good)
