Well, would be more fitting if he rose again.

It's happened before.

A free is a free, be it a technical foul or a physical foul, Cork can find themselves lucky that there was no hooter in this case, as the game was up on the Clare point.

The beauty of hurling is bar the hand pass, which was well marshalled in the Limerick game, no one is saying it needs changed, or tweaked.

The ref's across the board at all levels need to crack down on it if the can, steps also, if I run 6 steps around midfield the ref will blow, but if I'm bearing down on goal I'm 'allowed' an extra few as I'm generally getting pulled back.

The calls yesterday on the hand pass did eventually, in that game, make players think

Other than that the game is played by lads that don't hold their faces when they've been hit somewhere else

Liam Sheedy on the Sunday Game last night praising the Tipp forward for taking his 'five' steps before striking for goal. Doesn't help.

RIP Pope Francis, seemed to me to be consistently on the right side & not (ironically) an establishment man.

Yes, always on the side of the poor. Didn't grasp the nettle on key reform issues, but was always on the side of the underdog.

Look to the tyrone model for fixtures of league

12teams absolute max

Rather 10 at senior and 12 Inter

end

Tyrone is a single code league, easier to work with, less demands also, but certainly Tyrone approach their leagues better

Maybe, but they played their league final at Christmas last year.

Turned BBC Radio Unionist Ulster off this morning as it was completely one sided as if no one from the Nationalist fraternity could have an opinion for fear they would refer to this place as the north. Watson call this part of Ireland a country which is ridiculous.
They had a good chance to represent both side of the community when discussing Rorys win but choose to ignore one side.

Zzzzz

Incredible. Can't imagine how many times on this thread he's been called a choker. Don't think I've ever seen a sportsperson under so much pressure, and he pulled through.  Amazing.

I've backed Aberg didn't think he's have a chance but these two are opening up chances

Paul Lawrie backed him on Talksport last week.  Scheffler back to back birdies.

No other player coming out of the pack yet.

Very important.  Aberg hanging in.

Way too tense.  Every shot has been a mess because he's physically too uptight. Needs a mental reset very quickly.

Rory looks tense and yer man is c**k if the walk. Hope it's all show.

[Does representing Antrim make you out to be a good club player? Walsh at full back wouldn't lay a glove on you.]

Aghagallon have some amount of representation for a team that's nowhere near the top end of club football.

Near enough an in house game for Armagh at this rate.

Away back to your Xbox.

Couldn't fault a single player today, everyone gave it all for that jersey.

[The British government should be squeezed for every penny we can get off them, because they owe us.]

No one would deny the Ulster Council messed up, Jasus they'd secretly admit that themselves but a lot of you are missing the point here. This is the Union and DUP saying F**K you fenians, you're getting f**k all from us. They are currently proud of themselves for stalling the project. It's exactly the same with the Irish signs at the new Train station...no one is doubting they messed up by not having them on the original signage and to spend that money on new signage is ludicrous but the Union and the DUP do not want anything Irish, it's not about the money for them, it's just because it Irish.
They still have it in their heads that support for the GAA is like buying weapons for the IRA, that's how they've always thought and haven't changed one bit. They gave £50m for a fecking ICE Bowl in one of the strongest loyalist areas in the Country and no one batted an eyelid and make no mistake about it if they had plans to upgrade Windsor Park the money would be found from somewhere.
They want us all to die or go away, or as they put it..."go back home to Dublin", the irony from English and Scottish settlers.
So to recap, yes we have shot ourselves in the foot and seem to be quite good at it but please don't lose sight of what this is all about...It's anti Irish...FULL STOP!!!

100% illdecide.

But to some on here it's.. 'they're as bad as each other' type of waffle.

It's a recurrent theme to be fair , and dismissing it as " we're as bad as each other " is one of the reasons it's recurrent.

I actually disagree that Casement and signage funding are ludicrous.
But The simplistic view that money we save on sports or cultural projects is ploughed in to providing more nurses in to A&E in the Royal , is actually ludicrous .
There are enough challenges for all of us going forward locally and globally , with some horrendous things on our news daily .
Daily life isn't easy but it's made more bearable by the good things in life : sport and recreation, music and the Arts , cultural expression . Many of these generate income but sometimes it's actually not about  money, it's about fostering , and promoting the enjoyable things in life .
The GAA invested heavily in Croke Park years ago and I thought it was crazy , but look at the enjoyment , opportunities and pride it has given us in hosting Gaelic games and other events in the last 30 years. As it happens it's also generated massive income , investment and opportunities for the GAA and community .

Personally I would rethink the Casement project now almost 20 years after it was originally muted, to ensure we get the most out of it for the GAA, local, regional and national community .
Crowds are not as big as they used to be and  TV developments by may make them smaller again. A compact atmosphere generating 24-28k venue would be better and Why all-seater? Ulster needs a marquee GAA venue and a concert/conferencing venue for all. West Belfast deserves the investment and opportunities that were envisaged . The British government should be squeezed for every penny we can get off them, because they owe us. They engendered and have presided over a sectarian statelet, starting off with over 90% of the GDP of the island and ending up as an economic backwater where progression and ambition is stifled at every turn.
Do I think it's ludicrous to invest in giving us what we deserve and every other region on these islands has ? No.
Do I think promoting indigenous language is ludicrous ? No
Do I think government financing the good things in life is ludicrous? No
Do I think investing in progress and community esteem , and a long overdue feel good factor is ludicrous? No


Those , particularly from an Irish background here , who don't call out the clear sectarian motivation behind stalling casement , A5 , and Language promotion , are doing us all a disservice.

Squeeze them with what? 

In my personal opinion he's the greatest manager of all time and he did it all with a twinkle in his eye.

U can read the book on how this is gonna happen, Begging bowl out to Hilary Benn jn June, Labour been cutting the f**k out of everything, way worse than the tories(Never thought i see the day) have ever done. There be no additional money and I be worried about the 62 million disappearing of the table long term. Built the stadium with the money we have, cap 28k maximum. With the option of terraced area at either goal, and do away with all the corporate croke park type seating. Why do we need a 32k plus stadium in the first place. Which outta the way for half of Ulster teams.

And give it back to Antrim.

You're all talk lads. 'One punch can kill' is a scientific fact, so it has no place in our modern games.  That's the long and short of it.
