Pat Ryan under a bit of pressure this weekend
Can understand the level of criticism of the Manager but to call out two players who are just there because they are picked is a bit much.
Obviously no younger talent bursting down the door to take their place.
I am no fan of Cork either.

Clare did have a couple of bad wides in this period which might just have kept them in the game.
Keeper has been an issue for them for a few years now, but he is obviously the best they have. Great game and the only major problem for those outside of Limerick is that this will bring them on again. Ominous for the others.
The best time to lose to Limerick is now.
It is, but for now Clare are facing into going down to Franks pairc to meet a Cork team who are also bouncing off the back of a defeat to the supposed whipping boys in Munster.
Cork will go for goals as that's now perceived to be Clare's achilles heel, but they'll need to get the average age of that forward line down considerably if they are to cause Clare issues in that regard.
I also think Clare will look to put Peter Duggan close to the Cork square and lob the ball from distance into him to create goal chances of their own.
Corks need is greater but whoever loses this will do well to get the third berth in Munster.
We'll also find out what state Tipp are in this weekend and it would need to be a very large improvement from their league campaign.
Clare be better to put Shanagher ahead of Duggan at FF. Ball never sticks to Duggan.

Does that mean turning a blind eye to what was going on?
I've noticed that none of the papers are referring to him as ''Sir''

Just listening to Talkback and Trevor Birney talking about and how attacking someone like Sean Brown was a deliberate ploy as he was decent and could not be associated with any paramilitary organisation. It was purely to put fear and Terror through a whole community by striking at its centre.
We had just won the AI and had beaten Bellaghy in the Ulster final before Christmas 1996. There was a crew of us living in Belfast and we had close relationships on and off the field with a lot of the Bellaghy lads. It struck hard. I remember travelling home at the time and we regularly changed out pick up spots etc. Going to matches in Lurgan and that was always a concern as well. How the f**k was that normal?
Unfortunately we normalised it at the time and adopted
My dad handed me the book The Shankill butchers when it came out
Made me read it before I headed out that weekend, needless to say that put the willies up me for that period of heading out!
Absolutely horrible book. Really tough. I read the book called committee. Really opened my eyes as a teenager growing up.
Only policeman you trust is a dead one.

Going to Belfast courts and being foistered off each time by a drip drip approach.The Brits were up to their necks in it. Probably to the highest level. They'll never let the truth come out
Brits think time will ease the hunger for truth and justice.
So many questions arise from that excellent show. Why was the main suspect tracked and then let go for a few hours, then tracked again the next day?

On the matter at hand watching the goals again, first was terrible, second Lynch actually scored it, it was going wide, forth lying in a heap in midfield embarrassing stuff.
Quote from: Rois on April 20, 2024, 08:48:03 PMSeamus McEnaney said this week that he thought Harte could be out before the AIF this year if Derry don't fulfil potential. That was after he called Derry CB spineless for sacking Gallagher over one Facebook post.
