I don't know what the motivation was but there certainly is some logic in the 3 teams going through other than money. It greatly reduces the number of dead rubbers and increases the importance of topping the group.

It also evens up provincial issues.

I suppose how we view things: I view it as extra games more £££ for GAA: extra games I'd like to see is replays rather than penalty shoot-outs, certainly for a Provincial final and from AI quarter-finals on..

All Ireland final at 1pm in Portloaise then back up the road to Croke Park for Springstein in the evening. Not a bad Sunday.

Is that a Jewish cover band for the Boss?

Autocorrect obviously a part of the zionist elite 🤣

No hes not right. He said the below. If you honestly believe that you are completely detached from reality. Its actually quite staggering that anybody would believe that given our very recent history involving border checkpoints. LOL indeed.

This is not "very recent" to most SF voters in the 26 counties, at best they were in national school then, and of course they didn't think deeply about the issue, they have a twitter approach to politics.

No Johnny. There's been various motions by clubs over the year at convention along those lines, but to the best of my knowledge, none have succeeded.

I do wonder when I see such motions. While I get the gist of what they're trying to achieve, those clubs who currently have multiple referees, do they have an active policy of encouraging and fostering referees, or are they just lucky?

I'm not sure, refereeing appeals (I'll use the word lightly) to a certain type of person or persons but probably easier if a group of people do it together as I see Dromara have 4 people starting the training together.

More power to them.

Had a look around but couldn't find a specific topic on this. The pace of change is absolutely absurd. Chat-GPT 4o announced this week and then Google come out with this. Terrifying/fascinating.

We have pilots going on at the minute using the Copilots in excel and PowerPoint. A lot of it being used to do and/or proof coding.

The uber nationalist, I am more Irish than you, flag waving Nazi's are ironically closely aligned with the Far Right in England and even Loyalist paramilitaries in the North. They even invite them into Ireland to speak at their little rallies. That just about sums up the brain power in operation in the Far Right and their supporters like Whitey and Burdizzo. Empty vessels with one or two brain cells rattling around inside.

50% of Sinn Fein supporters now support border checks to stem the flow of migrants

The people inviting these far right types in would very very likely be Sinn Fein supporters

In this immigration matter-Sinn Fein gave the 2 fingers to their most loyal supporters

So out of touch its not funny

Sorry, Itchy, but he's right. The anarchist/ anti-fa wing of SF has been found out by the right-thinking ones, and SF doesn't have a clue what to do. It's quite funny, really!
