« on: April 15, 2021, 10:24:24 AM »Was rumours of hospitality (outdoors) being allowed back at end of April along with hairdressers etc. Now looking to be early to mid May, guess we will have to wait and see. Will be great to have some firm dates and certainty!
NI seem to be moving into a good place. The health minister sounded positive yesterday.
Locally here in ROI, there is a lot going on. Sports for underage back on 26th but traffic, footfall, activity all seem to have ramped up a lot in last few weeks.

Not what I signed up for.
A big fan of Ewan MacKenna.
And two of the 17 people he follows is Gript and John McGurk...I knew that’s where he was getting half his “facts” and links from.

Unbelievable. The fact that she was certainly getting to the ball first and changed direction to take her out beggars belief.
And made a terrible attempt at taking her out too. Had the ball, choose to ignore it and run off to take out an opponent and then only half do it. Was comical.

After a bad news day yesterday on the vaccines, some positive news today with Pfizer able to ship 55m in Qtr2 to EU and ROI will receive 550,000 of these.
Will need to see a massive push over next few weeks to play catch up as this weeks figures will be well off target.

The great thing for conspiracy theorists is that they don’t have to prove it.....as it’s all a cover up.
Some bonkers stuff gets passed off as fact on social media.

So much happened but so much left hanging. Best of the season so far.
Fingers can be pointed in several directions. Roll on next Sunday.
Unreal episode. I haven't a clue what's going on half the time but still enjoy it. I'm constantly wondering who certain people are cos I cant remember them. This is a show I could watch again from the start.
I've been watching the first couple of series again, they do bear watching a second time and you see where some of the stuff in current series come from.
You watching them now during this season? Not a bad idea. I do have to read some of the message boards that help fill in the blanks. A lot of linkage.
I see the other AC head Carmichael is back this week, she was in me if the best things about an average last season. Bound to be an interview scene with her doing the grilling coming up and her mad to turn the tables with the way it ended last time.

Mother of God, 2 days and 6 separate draws. Talk about pulling teeth. It’s not that big of a deal, just draw the bloody names out and move on.

So you're happy to discriminate against people who won't take a dodgy as fcuk jab? Wow.
Maybe you should read a history book or 2.
Why is it dodgy?

« on: April 09, 2021, 03:12:52 PM »League semi finals and finals a bit odd. Plus relegation play offs. This to line up the split championship next year? Or to give more games, not allow challenge games?
What is odd is that after semi finals played, if one of the finalists has a championship game the weekend after the final, they title is shared and final not played. Seems a bit pointless.
I enjoyed the knock out last year and happy to go again. With prospect of no crowds, would have bit of craic and opportunity to say feck it, all in open draw across everyone. But maybe the success of Cavan and Tipp warranted keeping the provinces again.
League semi-finals and relegation play-offs are needed to sort out promotion and relegation.
Yes and no. Top and bottom could go up and down. Would be harsh given only 3 games. Div 1 doesn’t need semi final and final. Belittles it if you plan for finals but then say it’s shared anyway if they playing the next weekend.

Monaghan going to take some heat off Dublin or adding to it?
Seems they’d a full training session at the Bantys home club. Book couldn’t be fired hard enough at him in fairness.

They are remarkably similar!
Angelo was first to start lifting posts from another forum on this board and looks like it’s come home to bite him. Classy posts.

We're being given a small glimpse of what it could be like and it's not pretty.
That's the type of solidarity northern nationalists have come to expect from the Free State sadly.
When it's election time we have FFG politicians cynically playing victims of the troubles for a tune.
When widespread loyalist violence grips Belfast and other areas for nearly a full week now, they keep their mouths shut and stay quiet.
Not a peep from Westminister or Dublin at this time.
Would you give the self pity and finger pointing a rest. Vast majority are condemning what’s happening and the comments of the supposed leader of the North.
If a poster gives their opinion on what their view is, accept it and at least try and imagine how some people will see it.
If the leader of the North’s only comment is to throw loaded comments at the people she is suppose to be leading the country with, that what chance does any one in Dublin, London or Timbuktu have any influence on.
At this time Mary Lou has not tweeted on it either. Maybe her twitter handler in Serbia has gone to bed.
Arlenes first reaction was to throw shade at SF. Angelo, or whatever alias you using on this and other boards (from the large Tyrone Italian Celtic, Roma and Nadal supporting community), first reaction is throw shade at Dublin and “free staters”.
