Cork 3-04 Donegal 0-09 a few minutes into the second half.
Donegal a bit relaxed and let in 2 goals!

Of course Donegal can come back from a deficit, as Armagh knows.

Just saw this! Tusla can't hire social workers. Can do F all to help kids in need, but are at Bloom 2024 sponsoring a show garden.
How the feck does this work? Any commercial/ marketing types here? Even for optics it's just bizarre...

Perhaps they think that people who go to flower shows would make good foster parents?

Looking at the gaago games surely Donegal and cork would have been a better pick today rather than a facile Dublin won in cavan.also putting Sligo v antrim on tomorrow at the same time as Derry v Armagh which will get limited viewing from neutrals.

Of course you are correct and tomorrow even the Sligo manger's family will be watching Armagh.

What a Utopia Iran turned out to be after the Anglo/American covert operation that overthrew the Elected Government in the 1950`s !

Which of course has nothing to do Ukraine, except that Iran are supplying the materials to invade it.

I appreciate the lesson and the much more in depth analysis. Suffice to say I just dont like him. I dont like how he back stabbed Corbyn. I dont like how he seems to be eroding the left wing nature of the LP and how he looks to be pandering to Tory voters in order to win.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck and all that

It is the business of politicians to represent the electorate, not complain about them. While the recent Tory governments are unpleasant, there are also middle-of-the-road policies that traditional Tory voters might support that are not unacceptable.
The idea that should impose policies on the majority because you are right and they are wrong recalls the recent attitude of the Brexiteers.

American politicians present during the Maidan revolution .... totally normal and not destabilizing or in any way coup like.

No one does regime change like the US

Project for the New American Century

Foreign Policy Initiative

What exactly is wrong with any democratic country supporting democracy in another country? We should all do so.

I think the Armagh bench could be the winning of this game.

So you would think, that good experienced fresh players coming on should help, but we did not push on in the Donegal game. Hopefully, they will this time.

Also, are Down better than Westmeath?

The gap will narrow as we near polling day, it can't widen. The broadsheets are already wheeling out mildly anti Labour guff daily, its drip feed messaging. I'd love to see the Tories obliterated and with Reform coming from the opposite  end it could happen. I wouldn't be surprised if we ultimately end up in hung parliament territory tbh.

Given that Labour seem likely to win some Scottish seats then I do not anticipate a hung parliament, although the Labour majority may be reduced.

Am I the only one who thinks this will be alot closer than what people think?
I'm just thinking of 2019 and the echo chamber on Twitter. There was speculation it could be no overall majority like 2017 (was 9/4 with the bookies) and the Tories ended up with a majority of 80!

I think there's going to be a complete obliteration, and we are unlikely the see the Tories contend for power again until the 2040s.

The parties themselves know it. The MSM know it. Twitter is now just polarised opinions instead of one way opinions, and isn't relevant.

It's a formality.

The key outcome in our futures isn't the result of this election, but when (if) Labour begin to implement socialist policies. I'd prefer they want hard and quick at it, but a slow bleed over the next decade  is the more prudent approach in a country that innately is not socialist.

There isn't much money in the kitty and any plan to borrow excessively will run into the same problems that Truss faced. Rapid change is probably impossible.

If you are expecting any socialist policies from Starmer you are going to be waiting a while.

Adult policies would be good for a start.

The Russians and the Chinese couldn't hold a candle to them.

This may reflect a difference in capacity rather than intention.

US and many posters here are all in on bringing us closer to nuclear disaster. It's the only way it seems 

What do you suggest? Let Russia occupy anywhere that takes its fancy?

Jail might not be appropriate, but can he be sentenced to community service?

There were a few stand tickets on Ticketmaster earlier, if this is of interest.
