So Donegal played an ineligible player?

Yes and it's either through complete ignorance or a case of sticking two fingers up at the rules. Derry had to withdraw Callum Brown from the starting line up a few years ago for the exact same reason.

According to Jimmy the young player in question hadn't even trained with his senior club yet which begs the question why did they play him. Were they actively sticking 2 fingers up at the rules. It would be very hard to believe that someone at intercounty level woulnd't have been aware of the rules. 

Armagh should get the points

Never really got into Starsky and Hutch therefore remember him better from his role in Salem's Lot.

always enjoyed it on a saturday night as a kid just before match of the day
huggy bear was the boyo!!
pre sky live matches

Have to say
Slow horses is an excellent series

Armagh getting a tanking was not a surprise once the line ups became known.

The bigger question is how long do the GAA persist with a pre-season competition that counties have little interest in playing in what is already an overstacked calendar.

Strange one by Armagh management to clash their challenge with the Donegal McKenna cup game.

Could somewhat understand that if a Connacht team did it as their pre-season competition games are played indoors and foreign to what is to come with the outdoor NFL games but Donegal under McGuinness was decent enough of a challenge than organising another one?

We play them next month in the league so better to try things out against a team we don't play .

Armagh u 20s in Ballybofey Seniors playing Dublin apparently some joke for the 3830 paying customers.

Ulster council didn't give a fk about Armagh fans playing the game on a Wednesday nite in Donegal .
Game against Dublin was last night.

College football is very serious at the time but minor in the bigger scheme of things.  Lads get in who flunked GCSEs etc. just to play football and do made-uppy courses.  Then they're out of the school.

only in some schools at present,
exam results in others becoming more important ( newry schools i believe pushing exam results more than football)
tbf when I was at school it was all about the football but that was in the 80s 

One thing for sure is that our rates are going to take a fair jump. Strap yourselves in

some transparency on expenditure would be welcome
 

The £1million would be much better used by county boards rather than being allocated to clubs. It becomes far too diluted - like if a club gets say £4k it's not really going to make a massive difference over the next few years in the grand scheme of things and most of it will fall into the pockets of outside managers in brown envelopes.
But if the county board used one million to say  employ coaches in schools or clubs or even to improve facilities then  it would be money much better spent

agree with this
diluting the money means it will end up paying managers wages etc and not have a material impact
give it to county boards with the clear proviso its spent on a capital project
Armagh building the portadown training base a perfect example

Why are people surprised?

Lawell and his son on board.

What do people expect?  Celtic have issues. Rubbish squad and problems with the Green Brigade.  Rogers not impressing at all.

no one is surprised
lawell back with the son as director of football  is going to destroy celtic
but they have 60m in the bank
the performances against motherwell Killie and st johnstone have been abysmal

shanes had some send off
a proper mass
jeez if every mass was like that i might go back

I like the Pogues. But half an hour / half an album at a time is plenty. There's something about their sound just takes too much out of you to enjoy over a longer spell. 

Jeez could listen to the pogues all nite when on the beer
Shane was a fabulous song writer

This is why words are so important, it's sometimes best to say nothing or say less.

Mary Lou isn't responsible for the EU policy nor for asylum rules within the EU, she's not responsible for the attack at the school or the murder of that young girl.

But you can't start stoking fires and look for political gains when things are going to shit.

Every country is having to deal with this problem, building walls, protesting, rioting and allowing the far right (Holland) to gain traction.

A real think tank between the parties needs to be done, what's the best approach?

If the Aussie one works then look at it, if it can be tweaked then look at it.

Putting people to work will grow the economy, it will build public buildings required to sustain a growing population, anyone that thinks Ireland should be just Irish is as bad as the DUP who think the north is still a Protestant state.

Sensible ideas won't make you a racist btw, but some are clearly racist.

the difficulty is that this topic like the trans war has become toxic, sensible suggestions are shot down allowing teh right to fill a void. i agree though we need a grown up conversation on criteria needed and how do deal with illiegal migrants otherwise matters are simply going to get more entrenched.

Subjected myself to the highlights of the Rangers V Aberdeen game. It was a clear penalty. Pulled his shirt.

Even when Celtic slip up, Rangers can't capitalise. They missed a lot of chances. They are so far behind Celtic that it renders the league utterly pointless.

Surprisingly a lot of empty seats, you'd have thought with Rangers in town it would've been a sell out. Worrying for that league and it's long term sustainability.

you definitely havent been watching Celtic
they have been awful

Now's a good time to look at shit coins and gaming coins. They're gonna 10, 20, and 30x

Not financial advise, only risk what you can afford to lose etc.

Not financial advice 😂😂 You been watching the crypto influencers too Trailer? Lol

Bought my gaming/AI coins a few months ago.. most of them have doubled already. Biggest regret is not buying NAKA at the start of the year, it's up 400% since April
