This money is for Belfast only ?.

I didn't realise either that Belfast has a population of over 600,000 people.

It's great to see Belfast getting this investment and hopefully we'll see the results in a few years time.

I know it's only the league but I didn't see KK winning a league title this year.

Cody is made of stern stuff. Early days and Tipp will come back stronger.

The past few years they've been "softening " us up, preparing us for semi professionalism. The next leader of the GPA will take this a bit further down the road. The amateur days are long gone in most place at this stage. It's only a matter of the patrons getting their heads round it.

6 weeks or more of wading through evidence and legal argument, not to mention months of prepraring for the trial by numerous firms of solicitors and barristers mean that the costs bill is going to be a hefty one. Out of curiosity who is picking up the tab in the event of a win or a loss ?. Just asking.

St Pats Cavan beat Dungannon in Dalton 15 21 to 1 4. Some scoreline.

The ref should be bate for texting in that scoreline. Had the ref no compassion as well as the Cavan team ?.

Really enjoyed the show featuring Lar Corbett last night....quite an intense young man lol

He had great time for Bab.

That time he ran after Tommy round Croke Park was some crack. Some tactics.

I’ve seen the devastation at first hand that child abuse causes. How could a young boy who had been sexually abused for years on a weekly basis from he was 10 have the emotional capacity to form any opinion to make such a decision. You’re a twisted man Tony. A very sad, twisted man. If that is what you see as a valid question then there is only one place that your beloved God will have you....biting in hell with the rest of your ilk. You are a child abuse apologist. Simple as that

General discussion / Re: Disgraceful front page in The Irish News

Irish News does some great work but recently the editorial has become extremely controversial.

Yesterday's headline was totally inappropriate. The editor of the IN needs to take a look at what's going on and stop the sensational headlines and content.

There is almost universal disgust at this headline and quite a few people have decided that no matter about the good sports coverage, enough is enough and they will not be buying the paper. This is something the Sun would publish.
