Paddy Power have already paid out on Hillary...

Unfortunately I don't fancy the mood in the US when the result is announced. There is every chance there will be violence!!

Bluecollar whites are drinking themselves to death in their 50s. Trump brings up Nafta and stagnation and Clinton says there is no problem with the economy. The political system is broken.

The latest news from Camp Rossie is that the training centre must be moved to Rathcroghan, the holy site outside Tulsk where Kings of Connacht were consecrated back in the days before Ballaghadereen was annexed .

Roscommon football is slow to anger and rich in mercy but beset on all sides by Fancy Dans and Rhubarbs and their empty works and promises. And hoors from Sligo with their Schadenfreude.

Rathcroghan is more than an ancient football pitch. It is more than a rousing song on Shannonside or a series of bonfires on the road from Athlone to Knockcroghery.  It is where Roscommon football can copulate with nature and produce supermen. Ancient paths to connect the past to the future in the great cycle of life and death and beating Mayo in the Connacht Final.

The thing about copulating as the Connemara man said is you wouldn't want to eat the whole horse. 

But still.

Bekan is worse than rhubarbia alone. It diminishes Roscommon manhood. It is a virus of doubt and collapsing self confidence that can turn a January team to bate anyone into a June outfit that just can't do it. Handpassing sideways and backwards, positional incoherence, etc.

It is estimated that up to 90 percent of Roscommon losses have a psychological cause.
This encompasses everything from management  difficulties to performance anxiety and even more complex psychological issues. Modern medicine would suggest counselling but ancient wisdom brings the team back to Rathcroghan.

And Mayo will not know what hit them. But there is one problem with Rathcroghan . It only works as Gaeilge.
So Syf has work to do.

That was the match where  Joe  went into labour on the goal line and delivered a healthy baby ball

There were some high points like Galway getting over Mayo and the runs of Tipp and Clare plus the way Mayo.played but GF is in trouble. The GAA is very complacent. Reffing and tackle definition are poor. I don't think the GAA is on top of things. 
Tyrone and Ros made a lot of noise . It was quiet once they were out.

"According to today's Guardian,  Labour MPs are to press the chancellor on the risks of Britain leaving the EU customs union, after the Guardian revealed Whitehall estimates showing it could knock 4.5% off GDP.
Trade flows and foreign investment would also be hit hard by leaving the customs union, according to figures calculated for the Guardian on the same basis as those prepared by civil servants for the government's Brexit committee. The pro-EU think tank Open Britain used studies by the National Institute for Economic and Social Research, the Treasury and the London School of Economics to suggest trade could decline by almost 12% and foreign investment by 10%, or more than £4bn, if Britain left the customs union.
Ministers were also warned at the Brexit committee that if leaving the customs union meant enhanced border checks, it could clog up Britain's ports.
The paper on the customs union warned ministers that to stand still in trade terms after a withdrawal from the bloc, the UK would need to grow trade with its 10 largest partners outside the EU by 37% by 2030.
The Guardian also carried comments from the UK Chamber of Shipping and the Freight Transport Association, the former predicting "profound traffic problems"."

I think we should do what the remain campaign did and tell the 'truth'.

Brexit means:

Leaving the Champions League, 6 Nations, European Championships and that Germans get priority for sun beds, along with all EU citizens, over Brits.

- You are stuck with British birds
- a restricted gene pool
-An even worse English football team
- paler children
- possibly smaller average tits

I come from a country where the ravages of historical division, and the sectarian violence that inevitably follows, are not such a distant memory. The paramilitary organisations of Northern Ireland are largely quiet now, but the structures that have allowed for this transformation are still febrile.
Irish, British and Northern Irish politicians have worked tirelessly for peace, for years, in order to provide Northern Ireland's wounded communities with a chance to move beyond the hurt of their divided histories. Those communities themselves have sacrificed much so their future generations may be free of the poisonous cycle of violence and terror. That this delicate, hard-won and harder-maintained web of hope has been so carelessly, thoughtlessly jeopardised by a handful of bloviating careerists unashamed to fan fear and division in British society in order to achieve their personal ambitions is a disgrace they will forever bear.

[the Irish government with be doing this for them.]

Heard that twat secretary of state for the north on the radio this morning and when he was pushed on how immigration was going to be controlled coming into the UK through Ireland he more or less was saying that the Irish government with be doing this for them.
Has there been some deal done between Kenny and the brits that there will be British border control posts in Irish air ports and ferry terminals.
This should not be allowed to happen.

There is hardly a deal done between Kenny and the Brits when the deal will have to be between Britain and the 27 members of the EU as part of Brexit. And talks haven't even begun on that yet. They are merely speculating on the aspects of Brexit that will cause grief but that neither side wish to dig in on (at the moment anyway).

The alternatives would be the Brits doing it at Irish ports or a hard border with the 6 counties.

Britain is good at some things and not good at others. Customs and Border Security firmly falls into the latter. Far better that we do it for them.

The border control thing is bollocks though. The UK economy isn't on its knees because of #dagos and #spicks and #no dogs or Irish.
It's because Brits haven't been getting payrises for a long time. 
All the mess goes back to this point. Brexit won't addres the core issue either.

I still can't get my head around how stupid the UK elites are.
