He's not a bad player, but lacks one key element as this level, speed.

I was watching a bit of Michelle O'Neill  answering questions at  that covid  enquiry. 

I haven't really  followed the minute details of the Bobby Storey  funeral fallout , so  here's my    question....,,,,

MON said she was  invited  to the funeral as part of a group of 30 mourners  (which was  the limit at the time.)

So, what exactly is  the issue with her attending?  If she was one of 30 invited,  surely she was allowed  given that this was  the number allowed  at funeral services  at the  time?

If  more people entered the church (making it  above the number allowed) , then surely that's the church's responsibility to  control that, not MON or any other of the mourners?

Or am I missing  something here?

This Slot fella is doomed to failure, has too big of an ego announcing himself as the new manager

Quote from: J70 on Today at 02:41:18 PMCity's PL form since the turn of the year:

P18 W15 D3 L0

Regular as clockwork.

Draws with Liverpool and Arsenal. Not sure on the other.


1-1 with Chelsea at home. 


Arsenal will likely look back on that draw against City now, a match they played defensive in and never really pushed for the win.
Dont agree with that any team will take a point at City before game starts bad losses to Fulham and Villa are what has put them in this position. May not be over though, the Aguerooo moment City needed to win against a rank bad QPR team and tried their best to make a meal of it.  West Ham probably owe it to Moyes to put in a performance last day and they do have some quality at top end of pitch.

Maybe so but how the table would had looked going into the final day had Arsenal beaten instead of drawn with City.

Arsenal 88
City 87

It's 2015 since West Ham avoided defeat away to City and have to go back to 2012 since a Moyes managed team got a result in that venue which was 1-1 with Everton. I doubt those records will change this Sunday.

Cork to bate Tipp and the hay won't be saved either.

Clare to scrape past Waterford, purely on the fact they're at home which is a tough place to go, but if Davy can't get Waterford primed for this then there's no hope for Waterford who finish the campaign at Limerick!

The more I think of it, that draw between Waterford and Tipp has bolloxed both of them, although I think Tipp are out of contention after this Sunday anyway, but I can see Waterford ending the round robin on three and even if Tipp did manage to beat Clare on the last day they'd have three points to Clare and Corks four.

Clare would progress to the Munster final on the head to head and Cork get the third spot out of Munster.

Galway and Kilkenny to resume normal service this weekend as Lyng would have booted some serious Kilkenny hole over this week and Dublin will need to really fired up for this one. I might get feisty in Parnell as both wanting to lay down a marker...

Wexford visit the neighbours and as much as the jerseys will be very colourful I don't expect Wexford to slip up in this one.
Carlow may struggle to get two top class performances back to back.

They also made hard work of it 2 years ago when they were 2-0 down against Aston Villa.
