Tuchel is favourite with the bookies and punters to become the next Man United manager.  His spells with PSG,Chelsea and Bayern Munich was short and would likely be the same if he became United manager.

On Southgate he's former Aston Villa player and if and when the Aston Villa job becomes available would they bring in him as manager?  Doubtful I think as he would likely be seen as downgrade on current manager Unai Emery.

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.

What if anything is anyone using these for? thinking more in the work setting

We use them to help collate information for tenders - so for example, we can ask our AI where we have previously done x, y and z and it will give us a written response with direct links to previous bids or case studies. It definately saves a lot of time.

We also have a private ChatGPT we use in writing tenders. We'd use it to reword reducing word count, as an example.

In both cases, they only give you a starter for 10. Wouldn't, and shouldn't, just copy and paste the output as fact. It certainly needs sanitised and reviewed for use as sometimes it comes back with nonsense. In general though, it saves a lot of time in writing bid documents.

We lost to the eventual Champions every year 2010 to 2016.
13 and 16 particularly galling.

I believe it's €25 for the Final.
A bit steep!

Yes Roscommon arguably should beaten Galway,Mayo in the 2013,2016 U21 Connacht finals and then the two neighbours went on to win the All Ireland.

€25 is silly pricing after less that stellar attendances at the two semi finals last weekend.

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.

you have got it all wrong. Its all money. Grab all association and what have you..........

I wouldn't go that far but is people in Croke Park whose remit is to maximise profits and at times they need to be reined in.

To what end? Who is benefiting from these profits?

Sinn Fein got 24.5 % of all FPVs in the 2020 GE

Anyone want to guess what their FPV % will be in the upcoming Local Elections

I'm going to say they will come in at 18%

You know we have proportional representation in elections don't you? So let's see do their seats go up or down. Let's see how the racists get on too.

Yes

But FPV% is a clearer indication as to whether top line support has gone up or down and it's bang front and center in every report written about the results of that election

Just listened to the Gript Podcast-Peasar Toibin very impressive. Hermann Kelly-very unimpressive

haha, Gript again but now with Hermann Kelly.

Listen lad, the only metric that matters is number of seats. Its very simple, even for you.

Well if their FPV% collapses, there a good chance their seat count will too (but not guaranteed)

Another hero for the our pro fa people  to drool over!
How much has this  yoke cost the taxpayers to date?
He has a job and still gets legal aid FFS!

https://m.sundayworld.com/crime/courts/apprentice-electrician-charged-with-rioting-and-burning-luas-during-dublin-disorder/a1918720127.html

All "asylum seekers" get free legal aid for their appeals. Imagine exposing the Irish tax payer to the combination of an endless amount of chancers from all around the world and unscrupulous lawyers. Barmy!

ffs please not Southgate, he has wasted England best chance to win something over the last few tournaments. The English seem blinded to his incompetence. He speaks well to the media and is a likeable guy but is tactically brain dead

They lost a final on penalties and then lost to a team who missed out on retaining the WC on penalties. I don't think that's down to Southgate "wasting" anything.

Agree

Kane missed a gilt edged chance in WC SF v Croatia, beat on pens in Euro final, Kane missed pen v France in WC

Has to be Southgate now while he's hot surely, how many overlooked Van Dijk before he appeared to surprise many in becoming a stellar player, I see Southgate as the managerial equivalent
