Quote from: 5times5times on Today at 04:25:38 PMGive up after 20mins of his latest show.

According to him, Derry have a small MF pairing, and that MH doesn't have a clue...

Unless im wrong, the current AI record is 3 v 1?

At senior level yes, Harte also has a minor all-ireland and 2 u21 all irelands. So it's kinda 6 v 1?

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on Today at 11:46:55 AMOnly a money making machine if people are going over the limit?

I've been done many times with the cameras over the years, no excuse, speeding and wrong, do I blame the camera for being there? No that's all on me. Anyone that thinks they can speed 'safely' is crazy

If they put the average speed cameras on the road would it make it safer? Wouldn't know the stats on the accidents  in regards to speeding, carelessness, recklessness and so on, but in the meantime till its sorted it needs some attention.

What stage is it at with planning and at what point will they government say we've taken into considerations your issues of not having it but we are going ahead with it anyways? 

Yes 100%, but it's more the optics of it. Another horrific crash on the A5, and the following morning there's a speed van (of which I'm sure there is only a limited nunber) in a safe part of the A5 trying to catch motorists doing 5mph over the 30 approaching an overtaking lane. The van definitely be out on the A5, but situated near an accident black spot.... Was a hot topic of conversation among the Strabanimals and Omagh folk in our work yesterday

If you're doing 35mph in a 30 you deserve a fine. There's a reason it's 30 and not 40.

"If you hit a pedestrian: at 40 mph there is a 90 percent chance they will be killed. at 35 mph there is a 50 percent chance they will be killed. at 30 mph there is a 20 percent chance they will be killed."

Quote from: statto on Today at 08:25:03 AMAt least they have the speed cameras out this morning to rectify the issue  ::)

This is the issue. The police try to do something to help in the short term and people come out with stuff like this.

For what?? Don't tell me... the Christmas party?
You're a dose.

Real always win. They just always win. They aren't even that good.

So...
Keeper lands awkwardly, gets up and taylor waves play on as the keeper is obviously OK.
Keeper rolls it out and starts absent mindedly playing with his socks, has a brain fart.
Gakpo tries to capitalise and THEN the referee blows his whistle. Why? Just reasons.
Taylor goes over to the confused keeper and tells him to go to ground (!) and wait as he then signals for the physio for the non existent injury.

Have I got any of it wrong?

Quote from: gawa316 on April 27, 2024, 05:12:09 PMIs Taylor in the shit? What was he doing? Gakpo should've put the ball away regardless
Whistle had gone. West Ham would have said "we stopped playing" question is why did the whistle go. Almost like manchesters Anthony Taylor might not like the reds

Clutching
So he's probably just incompetent then

I was listening on the radio and they explained it well enough.

Did they? Care to enlighten us because nobody, fan or pundit, seems to have a clue why Taylor did what he did.

Quote from: Tony Baloney on April 26, 2024, 11:00:34 PMA lot of people have been to Oz. On paper it's a place I'd like to have visited but the getting there is very off putting for someone who hates flying. How many 1 hr flights would it take?!

Depending on route its 25-30 hours all in to the east coast. Look, its not nice, and it takes a few days at least to adjust to the complete reversal of night and day, but you get there in the end.
Airlines are very good and look after you as much as they can with the adjustment by making it look like night time in the cabin when it should be night time etc. But it's strange seeing the sun rise then sink 3 or 4 hours later.

Quote from: An Watcher on April 26, 2024, 07:23:18 AMStumbled across this show Manifest on Netflix.  First few episodes not bad but seen there are over 50 of them.  Not sure whether to stick with it

It gets very silly very quickly.

Quote from: An Watcher on April 26, 2024, 10:05:29 AMFolks, honestly, do you think we have much if a chance on Sunday? I honestly don't think we have.  Obviously there is the McGuinness factor and they'll be buzzing after last week. 
I know we played div 1 but we're very young and have plenty of injuries.  Donegal on the other hand have boys who have been around the block and will now be playing to a system.  After a number of years our boys don't seem to have any system
I think last week we had our best team out from the start and had very little to bring off the bench.  I would like to see maybe mcshane to start on Sunday so that a fresher set of legs coukd come on later to do damage.


Nah Donegals to lose, no point showing up to a hammering. Donegal way above us.

Hopefully they read this forum.

Major c**k up by the police to bring him out and no transport. Saw a photo of that man and he looks exactly like you expect him to. Bryson seems to think he's a republican.

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on April 25, 2024, 01:06:54 PMHow many fist pumps will he finish off with at the Kop?

I hope he brings the team down and stand in a line at the Kop end to finish off, that for me was the turning point in his early career at Liverpool

One for every time we finished 2nd in a League/Cup. Could be there a while.
