One side gets offended because once in the year a Loyalist band wants to march up "their" road which takes five minutes. The other side object to G.S.T.Q. being played at a sports final.
No compromise, no willingness to compromise.

Brolly is a total clown  End of story

Dear Sir,

How dare you insult me by comparing my profession to Joe Brolly.

Are you related to Tony Fearon's mate Coco?

Coco is a has been. Lucky to get a job sweeping up the elephants shite.

I see Walsh has confirmed that just 3 Corofin players are in the Galway squad now. Power, Molloy and Burke.

"Six invited but three, between going to America and different things, chose not to join up".

Thats becoming a bit of a trend across the country. Lads not bothering with joining a panel unless they know they will be in the first 15/20 come championship time.
Just shows that despite what the G.PA. and certain media elements say it is far from professional sport

Does anyone even give a shite how the knuckle draggers in Tyrone vote?

GAA Board poll now
Yes 42%
No 37%
Undecided 21%.
About 54/46 with the undecideds out.
In the real world I'd expect about half the 78% of the population who are  Catholics to be No, (same figure as the Same sex marriage Referendum).
Most SF and loony and not so loony left -about 25% will be Yes
So the other 36% will decide with Yes needing 26 of it.

The percentage of people who are catholic on a census form that let that inform how they're voting in the referfrum is quite low and only applies in massive numbers to older people.

If the Yes side get out the vote this will not even be close. The time for debating with the other side should be over now and the focus needs to be on motivating younger people to vote.

What evidence have you that the young vote are more pro repeal?

Thanks Itchy - insightful stuff

You're welcome

Have you applied to TV3?  They are looking for some new analysts. The crew they have are more anal than analyst

No happy ending for Wenger with Arsenal.

That would be more Rooney's area

rte not showing the tyrone v monaghan game but a royal wedding in englandshire is on?

I'd rather watch the wedding than Ulster Football

Prince Charles will be wearing his military uniform with sword just in case things kick off like at a travellers wedding

Sorry but I cant see Liverpool winning this game. 3 nil to Real. I think Liverpool have done very well but have been over stated and carry too many average players.

Hard to argue with their victories against Manchester City. No problem scoring goals home and away. I know that they can let in a few soft ones as well but goal scoring wins games. Real Madrid leave in a few as well.

What was happening here? Just clicked on it and it's like a Thursday mart!

Giro day probably

A job for Gerrard maybe?

I'd say Stevie G would like the chance at management. Rangers are in a bad state at the moment but nothing a few big name signings wouldnt change. Gerrard would have ambitions beyond Glasgow and abit of success there could be used as an entry to the Premiership

Yeah, numerous titles and some CL success in Scotland really landed Lennon a plum PL job. No one in England rates Scottish league success. He'll be getting his next job because he's Steven Gerrard and not because he was successful at Rangers.

Souness got the Liverpool job after his spell at Rangers. Primarily I suspect because he was an Anfield old boy but having a bit of success up North  helped justify the appointment.
The same could happen with Gerrard. Never underestimate the stupidity of the people at the top.
Steve McClaren was appointed English manager on the strenght of a League Cup win with Boro

The comparitive quaility of Scottish football to English football has collapsed in the intervening years. Where's the last Celtic manager coaching now? Is Lennon even coaching at all these days?

Your query about Lennon shows you up to be the buffer we all know you are.
You would be better off discussing the merits of the Ukrainian Tractor Factories League

[Arlene Foster hits out at Michel Barnier over Irish border]

She really is thick.  Apparently Barnier is crapping himself.

Arlene Foster hits out at Michel Barnier over Irish border

The leader of the DUP has said the EU's chief Brexit negotiator "does not understand" the unionist history or position in Northern Ireland.  Speaking just hours before Michel Barnier is due to talk at an all-Ireland civic dialogue conference on Brexit, Arlene Foster said that he pretended to understand the issues but was "not an honest broker".   "Michel Barnier's trying to present himself as someone who cares deeply about Northern Ireland and if that is the case he needs to hear the fact that we are part of the United Kingdom [and] will remain part of the United Kingdom constitutionally, politically and economically," she told the BBC.

"Therefore his proposal of us being in an all-Ireland regulatory scenario with a border down the Irish Sea simply does not work. I don't think he does understand the wider unionist culture of Northern Ireland," she added.  The DUP is strongly opposed to the agreement made in December, , in which Northern Ireland will remain fully aligned with the EU and the Republic of Ireland in the event that there is no overall deal to keep the Irish border invisible.   The DUP is propping up Theresa May's government but last week DUP MP Nigel Dodds said it was prepared to let the government collapse over the issue. However, the EU and the Irish government are holding firm.

Ireland's deputy prime minister, Simon Coveney, has warned that there would be "difficulties" at the next EU council summit in June in progressing to wider Brexit talks unless the UK commits to wording for a "backstop" solution for the Irish border.   Barnier has also warned there would be no withdrawal agreement and no transition agreement if Britain does not agree to wording for the backstop solution by June.   Irish and EU negotiators are getting increasingly exasperated by what they see as Britain's refusal to move forward on talks on the Irish border issue before the June deadline. "The British government has red lines all over the place and expects the EU to accommodate them. We have red lines, so does the EU, but nobody seems to focus on that," said Coveney.   "It is not OK for the British government to rule out a whole series of options and then pretend that somebody, somewhere is going to find a solution to find a way forward. The next move is Britain's in the negotiations," he said.

She doesn't understand the economic damage a customs union exit will do to NI.

She also doesn't understand that Michel Barnier is the EU's Chief Brexit Negotiator.  Why the feck would he be an honest broker in the process?  There's a clue in his job title.

She is a complete embarrassment at this stage.

Amber Rudd has fallen on her sword over the immigration fiasco. This government and Mays leadership is well rattled. The D.U.P.  influence wont last.

Of course it is a pity our own gombeen don't follow the very honourable British practice of resignation when they f**k up

Another example of the potential for association with either side.

Its natural that canvassers will go where the crowds are. It happens at every election.
What annoys me is when having a few pints in the clubhouse the local gombeen is brought in by the Chairman to press the flesh and we are told how he was great help getting the Lottery grant for the all weather pitch.
