Well how do you know Antrim would,what happens the rest of the Antrim players between 18/21 you Muppet,

You're losing it by being personal, Antrim and Randalstown obviously agreed to this, I've no issues with players opting out for a year or two with a club that will enable them to progress in a championship that they would not have been able to play in

The sad thing is that a lot of very smart people are scammed by very clever get rich quick schemes! Losing their pensions to oversea property scams or other 'guaranteed' high percentage pay offs!

I'm glad I've no savings!

Pochettino is a funny one.  The majority of his key players were already at Spurs before he arrived and his transfer record is not great; how would he cope with a big budget?  I would nearly take Rodgers before him to be honest.

He's not exactly been allowed to bring in top players so I wouldn't judge him on those players bought. Spurs wages bill was miles off the rest of the top 6 too. He wanted Periera in 2017 but Levy wouldn't pay his transfer clause and Spurs ended up with Aurier whilst Pereira went on to be the best right back in the league last year with Leicester.

He's worked wonders with some of those players who's careers were going nowhere before he turned up.

Whoa there!! Must have missed that. In the premier league I watched, TAA was and is the best right back!

Good at going forward I'll give you that, defending not his strong point

And some folks complained when I referred to DUPUDA  ::)

Because you're mimicking other the DUP.

It's never been about normal politics, why anyone believes it should be about brexit, jobs, NHS  or education here in the north clearly has no idea!

For as long as I've been alive it's never been anything other the Orange and green politics. The DUP will use every dirty trick in the book and not give a f**k about it, they've completely no shame.

And whoever votes for them deserve it. Was watching Pop goes ni the other night and the loyalist were complaining about the DUP! And how the ordinary 'loyalists' shouldn't be voting for them.. this was 1996!

I thought the performance has been over blown, Denmark were pathetic and still managed to get a draw whilst Ireland struggled to create goods chances which is hardly a surprise when he picked McClean, Browne & Hendrick as the 3 closed players to McGoldrick who I thought played his role very well.

McClean tries but it looks like he has ne legs under him at all. Don't see anything in Browne at all and Hendrick hasn't developed into any type of player at all after threatening early in his career to be something. McGoldrick played well last night but a striker has to score goals and unfortuantely he's poor at that. Perhaps the performance has been overblown but relative to the last few games it was a huge improvement. Thought the two full backs were superb. Tough to see Coleman getting back into the team.
The right back was lauded for his overall performance despite basically giving away a goal.  Defenders need to keep a clean sheet first and foremost.  His and Duffy's combined c**k-up meant the game was basically over given your limitations going forward.

We'll still beat the north.

Bar the conceded goal, Doherty was brilliant.
"The north" are going to get a doing tonight.

Started well enough

That was a pretty handy group to get out off, I blame O'Neil and Roy

Yeah, them two chancers stayed a campaign too long we were an embarrassing mess at the end of their tenure. Left Mick with a lot of psychological work to do!

They are still not good enough, the players that is. Mick's  had a chance to put his own stamp on the team. He did just that

Wouldn't call it handy. Denmark ranked 14, Swiss 20, and we are 42,  on current standings. Don't think we'll come out of our playoff group, however. In that respect, it will be pretty embarrassing not to qualify when we are hosting and 24 teams from Europe qualify.

There were harder groups.. Kenny will have his work cut out for him
Kenny will be a lot more attack minded.

You can only play with what you've got..

Can they meet the wee 6?

Derrygonnelly missed a serious chance to get to an Ulster club final yesterday.

Kilcoo were there for the taking.  Derrygonnelly completely dominated around the middle and their back 6 kept the dangerous Kilcoo forward line very quiet ( apart from the goal where they switched off). 
Up front though was a different story.  They just lacked composure and took some very poor shots on and missed some very straight forward ones.  I couldn't help think that if they had Michael Gylnn available (he played in the Hogan winning St Michael's team last year and is their captain this year) they would have won.  His free taking alone would probably have got them another two or three points.  Again the rule that prevents under 17s from playing senior football prevented them from doing this.
if kilcoo had darragh o Hanlon and young Doherty playing they would of won by more!

And if your granny had balls... stupid points. The best team won, just about

At least they won't have to score to get through the playoffs, draw and penalties will do
