You can`t compare Nazi Parties in Britain at that time with Parties in Ukraine that represent an ethnic Minority . Are you seriously telling me that The Antifascist Committee of Ukraine , The Communist Party of Ukraine and Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine are Nazi Parties ?

These parties are not banned for representing anyone, they are banned because they supported the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Any group which seeks progress though a foreign power invading rather than through winning elections cannot be characterised as a political party in a democratic state.

Communist Party of Ukraine banned since 2015 , Russaian SMO started 2 years ago !

Russia invaded Crimea in 2014.

If Ukraine wants gas masks than it is more likely for defence

The Armagh draw popped up on my Facebook feed the other day, £25 per ticket for a chance to win a house in Downings is good value compared to regularly paying £20 where max prize is £10k.

Seems to good to be true?

Seen it too. I think it's a house or 250k. Pitched at a good price to attract a lot of sales.

Do Tyrone need to drop the policy of only employing from within the county?

Can't see that happening. Think only us, Dublin and Kerry have this policy (I stand to be corrected). Personally, I want the policy to continue. It would be an admission that there's no one good enough within the county to do the job. I would never believe that.

Agreed plenty of good coaches from Tyrone. Was Tally took Kerry across the line in 2022. The difference in the back division was most evident when he went there... Jack knew what he was doing getting him in.

Did anyone really think we could beat donegal tonight.  Seriously.  We have better players but vast difference on the sideline.  My god

They were in good positions to win against them 6 weeks ago twice so I would presume so. 

And didn't. And yet another second half collapse this time. Did you really think Tyrone would win?

Said it often enough but while we should be eternally grateful to Dooher and Logan for taking the shackles off Mickey's team and leading them to Sam in 2021, everything since has been miles from the required standard. A rudderless ship and a team which is way less than the sum of their parts. Individual talent keeps them competitive but lack of a coherent plan and identity so clear against anyone half decent. With the talent coming through Tyrone really need to have a rethink.

This wasn't a David v Goliath game Tyrone have thrived as underdogs in the past and it was well within their capability to win the game. to suggest Tyrone didn't expect to win the game I don't think is correct. 

The younger Canavan seems over hyped from what I have saw to date. Darragh and McCurry could do with some support up top.  McGeary at last showing a bit of form is a positive for them moving forward. 

It certainly wasn't David v Goliath based on the talent available to both teams. But anyone who expected Tyrone to win was deluding themselves.

The problem for Ukraine is the Narco Furher , more Ukrainain terrorism planned at the behest of his American , French , German and English Masters . His Cocaine addition is not helpful :

Ukraine is requesting antidotes and gas masks in excessive quantities, indicating plans to use toxic substances

This was announced by the head of the RKhBZ troops, Igor Kirillov.

📝 Main statements:

▪️Ukrainian neo-Nazis first used chemical weapons on May 2, 2014 during a terrorist attack in the House of Trade Unions in Odessa

▪️AFU used chemical weapons in the area of Donetsk, Bogdanovka, Gorlovka, Kremennaya and Artemovsk

▪️AFU assault groups are equipped with gas grenades

I have genuine fear for this weekend. I hope Kerry just come for a bit of practice rather than at full tilt. Cause under Colm they can win by whatever margin they want. Upto and including 20 points. Meath have never been as low as we are now. I wonder what the geniuses who destroyed mcentee last year by voting against him think now. After we had lost a playoff to get promoted and lost to Dublin by lowest score in years.  Pathetic.  We are a shambles I'd say worse than Kildare. But Colm will put out excuse after excuse after excuse.  And of course a few Latin phrases too just for good measure.

Still seems bizarre to me that he ended up as an intercounty manager given how poor he was on The Sunday Game for years.

By comparison neither Brolly or Spillane were allowed within an asses roar of any intercounty team.
