But was it a case of that unplanned meeting of Ron Nicole and OJ that sparked the madness?

Both could still be alive if Ron had not just 'turned' up and OJ could have just had words with her and left?

Or was he intent on killing her that night regardless?

According to the ESPN documentary, Goldman walked in as OJ was killing her or immediately after.

Are St Galls back? 5 from 5. Best start in a long time surely?

Leagues form and championship form are two different animals

I'm just glad we look like not being relegated

St Galls have obviously been rebuilding for a while now but it looks like there is a crop of quality young players on the verge of coming through now. Would expect them to kick on now compared to recent years

Lynch's positioning aside, Donegal would've scored a few goals anyway:
First goal - certain goal regardless of Lynch.  Donegal had 6 men level/ahead of the ball to Derry's 3.
Second goal - certain point opportunity, probably wouldn't have engineered a goal for this one as Donegal didn't have the same numbers in attack.
Third goal - penalty (not inside the box) but Lynch was in goals.
Fourth goal - Donegal would have had a shot on goal, think they had 5 level/ahead of the ball to Derry's 3.

The problem was much deeper than Lynch's positioning.

I see one of the charges relates to 1985 and Donaldson was married in 1987.  As for the Lady Eleanor (any Lindisfarne fans out there?), David McKeown will know better than me but I think "aiding and abetting" usually suggests something more active than just knowing and doing nothing about it?

Only managed to see the first half, a lot of talk after the Mayo game that Galway lost their physical edge when Thompson and Kilcommins went off injured which at the time I thought was nonsense. Either Savage has learned very quickly or those lads he's brought in were injured initially. Those lads who've come in have far superior footballing skills and its showed.

Fact the police went straight to charge I think should give an indication in this case.

That's not to decide on the outcome before it has been in front of the court, but the police obviously feel there is case here to be presented.

Only thing for sure is that there are no winners, but hopefully justice is service.

As I said before, it is hard to see how you can prove something 20 years ago beyond reasonable doubt, I doubt there were witnesses other than his wife.

Hearing other cases the PPS didn't prosecute due unlikelihood of conviction even when there is evidence, they must feel there's a high chance of conviction based on what ever evidence they have. No?

I've no idea myself - I'm doing a lot of reading between the lines and may well be getting it wrong.

Today was the 1st appearance. I'd be shocked if the PPS even have the full file yet let alone have made a decision. It would be unusual for them to have the full file yet particularly if the allegations only surfaced in March.

So does that mean the PPS could still decide not prosecute?
I've no idea how these things work, I'd made the assumption it only gets this far if the PPS are already in a position to prosecute.
Interesting.

Performances over the last month or so have resembled a lot of last season

Klopp said around November time he felt the team were playing above what he had expected after introducing new players.
Maybe this is just the drop off after over exceeding early on?
Never felt they would win the league tbh but did expect them to win the Europa League.
Don't know anything about Slot or the Portuguese guy either, interesting summer ahead.

Armagh must be worth an each way bet. Likely to be top seeds having had some warm up matches to try systems/squad before the Ulster final against a jaded Donegal or Tyrone. They'll probably not have a better chance of making a semi or a final for a while.

In all seriousness, bar drawing Dublin I'd be very disappointed if we don't make a semi final. Donegal, Tyrone, Kerry, Derry, Galway, Mayo all very good teams but have their flaws, time we pushed on, sick of hard luck stories at the qf stage.

You have a serious chance of making top seed and then a 66% chance of drawing Clare or Louth/Kildare as 2nd seed in your group. Avoid the preliminary quarter final thereafter and you're set up to beat the hard luck stories!

Sam is Armagh's to lose this year. If they don't win Sam, will it be seen as a failure and signal the end for McGeeney?
