Rumours that McIlroy is ready to jump to LIV.
That will be some u-turn for him, but maybe a sign that LIV are going to win eventually.
 

Also rumours that Rahm is heading back to PGA.

Things I don't expect to see:
- Rory joining LIV
- Ian Paisley hugging Martin McGuiness
- DUP sharing power with Sinn Fein
- Jim Alister in Stormont which is running the Irish Sea border
- Mickey Harte managing Derry hi

and of course
- Dublin being split in two (city and county) to give other Leinster teams a chance

Both sides struggled in Brewster Park with the severe cross wind, hence the low points total.

What are the dates for Ulster semi finals?poor show from down against a antrim team with serious injury list.

27th / 28th

Which side of the draw is on 27th and 28th do you know?

Down v Armagh (or Fermanagh) on 27th

lol

[british isles?]

This has bugged  me for a while now , but saw it  again today  and I nearly blew a gasket.

Dates written  Month/Day/Year, like:

February 12th 2024

...instead of the correct way , Day/Month/Year , like:

12th February 2024

Apparently it's  only the Americans who write  it MDY , so why the feck am  I seeing it more and more  in Ireland?

Grrrrr!!!!!

I'm sure you know that American English is more authentic an closer to the original than the English used across the british isles?

Yeah , but surely  you mean  grammatically closer? The numbers/date thing  is a different issue

But that's another  statement that annoys me.  Should be British and Irish  isles, or just Britain & Ireland , or Ireland & Britain.

No, I meant more authentic because when the pilgrims sailed off to America they took the english langauge as it was at that time. Since then, the english used in britain and ireland has evolved whereas the american version did not evolve at the same speed. Of course the Internet and modern communications is merging them again.

Will someone pulleeassse think of the the children............., and discuss the Down v Antrim game.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Celtic fans who didnt see the result last night and woke up this morning to see Celtic still on top of the league 

Golf memberships have been a waste of money

Unfortunately the same costs still occur irrespective of whether you get to play or not.

It'll soon be the keepers will be picking up the keepers to nullify their input 

Stop giving junior team managers tips.

I see Clones finally got some catch  nets behind the goals

Or were they there  last year? I don't recall seeing them  before

They need to sort out those crossbars next. Mad they've got square ones sitting in front of the posts

Please elaborate.

Handy win for Monaghan tomorrow?

If Cavan are as poor as they finished the league it will be handy win for Monaghan. However this is championship playing the neighbours and live on BBC and RTE if no kick and competitive showing from Cavan it will speak volumes about them.

Best value bet is Monaghan ahead at HT but Cavan by a couple at the end.

I hope you go ahead and put a shít load of money on that one.

There is an amateur lady golfer in the US called Asterisk Tally.

So Israel made a mistake which resulted in a number of aid workers being killed.

I wonder how many other mistakes that they made which resulted in multiple deaths?

[And what did he actually get it for?]

When did big Jeff  get his knighthood? And what did he  actually get it for?

I mean , he  never won Wimbledon or  an Olympic gold medal like those other  deserving  knighted folk.

Very good question. 

Services to saying no politics. I'd say he was shoe in to be fast tracked into Lords when he lost the MP seat in lagan valley. Obviously losing the seat is a guarantee now and his lordship is well and truely in the mud

I remember looking that up a few years ago as I was shocked that he was knighted, especially given his hard it is for some, more deserving, recipients.

You make it sound like a British knighthood is something to cherish and be proud of?? 

I thought wee Jeff got his medal for services to smugness and sanctimony. And lest we forget, his dad wasn't a welcome sight at any catholic owned farm in south Down.

Great thread name.

A job at The Sun awaits, lol
