Edendork have been caught training twice now, once at their small training field and also at academy pitches. Lorcan Martin under pressure from edendork chairman

Wouldn't be much point putting him under pressure when they are allowed to train in 4 days.

Every club at a good level is training now.

[Can you guarantee that the admissions will continue to fall if we open up?]

Really had enough of this all now. After the fiasco of last night. Basically you can do what you want criminally now but the rest of us can do nothing that try to abide by the rules.

Embarrasing scenes in the North last night. People were willing to look past the Rangers thing, can't see the message being heeded any longer.

There has been loads of protests, last nights was just another example of people not giving a shit, but opening the pubs won't make it any better.

I'd open today if there was to be no more lockdowns. Can you guarantee that the admissions will continue to fall if we open up?

Of course not, but to the normal regular man on the street who is sitting in the house bored stupid this 4 months can you justify it anymore when this nonsense goes unpunished as if its acceptable?

I know a couple turned away by the PSNI there on Friday from somewhere as a non essential trip.....it's becoming very tiring now when you see them 100 metres away letting people literally run riot.

Finally a stick to beat this great Dublin team.

Were they in the wrong? Yes

Was it the biggest crime in the world? No

Will anyone remember this in 6 months when they win another all ireland? No

Is it front page news, considering other events? Absolutely not.

["Sure I'm young and healthy, and Covid won't get me, so why should I bother with the vaccine?"]

One for all those people saying: "Sure I'm young and healthy, and Covid won't get me, so why should I bother with the vaccine?"

Covid jab probably does protect those around you

"The Covid-19 vaccine blocks pretty much all cases of serious illness - but the government has been much more cautious about saying whether it stops people carrying the virus and infecting others.

Until evidence had built up from lots of people being vaccinated, scientists could not say for sure if the jab would stop transmission - and there was concern those vaccinated might stop taking precautions, potentially leading to a rise in infections.

Yet the evidence is moving fast.

Protection from the vaccine may not be perfect and people still need to be careful - but this does not mean it provides no protection to others.

In fact it is becoming increasingly clear the jab is a very big step towards protecting those around you - particularly people who are vulnerable, including the elderly and those with care needs such as learning disabilities or mental illness.

A growing body of real-world evidence suggests it stops a big chunk of people catching the virus at all - if you don't get infected in the first place, you cannot infect other people."

That is not what they say, they are saying, why should I get it, when nothing is reopening.

Frampton 10/11 fav....

Herring at evens.

I probably would have had it the other way round.

If Warburton is not available for the next tour, has he resigned the captaincy?

10er says he's not fit for it? Banker.

The crystal ball was working well here, although sad that he is fully retired and it is very much old news at this stage

Very sad to see a player of that calibre bow out so early. When you see AWJ still ploughing the field at 35?

Warburton could have become one of the all time greats. Recovered from 2011 and all that came with that exceptionally, could have ruined a lesser man.

Arlene calling a press conference at half 3 and said there'll be consequences!

Chief Constable already getting it.

I'd be absolutely delighted to see a full on 12th this year to be honest.

For the purposes of this thread, it's good there has been no spike since the Rangers Fans taking the streets some time ago.

That was a truly outstanding championship, surely the most exciting ever and a credit to the players of the traditional Five Nations, imagine what it would have been like with crowds

Essential now that it remains free to air and not siloed away on pay television

Agree wholly. The joy of the 6N (5) is that really on any given day, any of them can rock up and beat the other.

Would have loved to have been at some of those games.....maybe next year.

The defence forces and Private Security I think have powers to monitor compliance at the quarantine hotels.

But they have no power to stop people leaving....(i.e. The Guards are notified instead).

So that's where that one is. Not exactly iron clad. People just don't care.....you are going to encounter a small minority that have no interest in decency and doing the right thing.

[Vaccine passports to go abroad are bad enough, but for doing things like going to the pub? No chance. Up the rebels!]

Interesting that its reported up to 60 Tories are about to rebel on the lockdown rules in place in United Kingdom. I would imagine it will get through anyway, but the tide is most certainly turning against lockdowns in general.

The likes of the Dog and Duck will not care if you have a vaccine passport or not but the more classier establishments no doubt will try and enforce it.

If Covid passports become a thing for Pubs then I will only frequent those that enforce it. I'll certainly wouldn't be comfortable sharing an enclosed space with someone not vaccinated. You could find that those more refined establishments become even more in demand.

Absolutely trailer.
Those that dont enforce it may see their customer base shrink

I highly doubt many people will care, especially younger people.

After Robin Swanns tone deaf comments yesturday, social media was full of vaccine rejection among my age grouping.

"Why will I take it when there is no freedom...." to paraphrase.

These are the people with the larger disposible incomes. Don't underestimate the power they have to the hospitality sector. When everything opens up, or begins to, it will be that age group that starts the economic recovery.

And for sake of good order, it will also be them who pays the majority of the cost for everything that has been.

That doesn't make any sense... Surely a: protecting yourself and b: getting the vaccine passport that airlines etc will most likely insist on are the reasons to take the vaccine? Things will be back to normal alot quicker if people of your age get the jab GOTB

I would agree, but unfortunately the pace of the reopening isn't going quick enough for the younger generation....well, 20-30ish odd. The younger ones below that don't care a jot....they know it doesn't harm them, they are young. I wouldn't be for branding them over that.....with time comes maturity.

It's probably always the contrary that are the loudest, I've no bother taking the vaccine personally. I think most people will avail, but I do respect those who don't want to take it for any reason. The people in Govt will not be basing their plans on 100% vaccine uptake I'm sure.

I'll be loving it, in the pub with my vaccine passport (get second one on 1st April) great 5G reception and looking up flights to go on holidays.

Any chance next time you cut the finger you can get me a drop of your blood, I won't get the vaccine for awhile yet
