Amazing start,rapidly ascending the table,and pulling off masterstrokes like signing Emile Heskey.Neil could be destined for a big job in the Premiership

Neil Lennon leaves Bolton Wanderers 'by mutual consent'

What Premiership club can we expect Neil to turn up at then? Van Gaal does look vulnerable at OT.

[And hurling needs them to be better.]

I dunno AZ. They should be way better in terms of putting it up to Kilkenny but all they have to show for the last 7 or 8 years of effort is that one win that killed the drive for 5. I thought they would kick on after that and they didn't, which was a real pity.
Last year they were very disappointing.  And hurling needs them to be better.
The game is not in great shape tbh. Offaly and Cork are badly missed.

Tipperary/Kilkenny/Cork delenda est.

Just recently got an Elephone P8000 through work.
Its basically a Samsung Galaxy Note, only a bit thicker and the chip not just as good, but its a top notch phone.
Battery life is amazing, I get about 2-3 days. 15M camera too which is nice.
I think they are about £160.

Still feeling the love for the Elephone? Anyone else bought from them? Thinking of picking one up for my wife so I can give her my now-antique Smart Ultra.

'Mr Trump'. It's the same thing as . . .



. . . except nothing like that.

We haven't had one start a senior championship hurling match since 1997. Coincidence? I think not.

Talk talk have came back on that forum and said they have detected a possible router fault. Not sure if that sounds correct though as would that not make the speedtest show a lower speed on my phone?

I know where this is going. You sign up for a new contract and get a new router. This is great if your router is a smouldering lump of molten plastic. But if it doesn't fix your particular problem you might find getting them to accept that it didn't fix the problem and letting you out of the contract to be a bit tricky.

With talk talk. I went into the kodi screen yesterday to check the speed and it says on it "very low quality streams may work" and for online video it says "expect buffering do not try HD"

*groan* Good luck trying to get an answer from TalkTalk. I worked for them for four years and speeds were the bane of my life. Every so often a supervisor would come around asking what particular area did I think we needed more training. I always said speeds and they would put this down on the form and nothing every happened. Diagnostically you have done the correct thing and your instincts are almost certainly correct - that some manner of throttling is taking place. There is probably a setting on the router that would allow you to get around this, but TalkTalk will not even admit the throttling is taking place, let alone help you out.

Dublin were well worth their win yesterday. But I'm still optimistic it was just a bad day at the office (famous last words).

To see Irish people, particularly those from the North, displaying kneejerk support for the excesses of the police, and smearing a particular group of people into the bargain, is dispiriting. Wolfe Tone is spinning in his grave.

Maybe not

On the basis that support for the Democratic candidate is as much about keeping a Republican out of the White House as anything else, one of the reasons to support Hillary as opposed to Bernie is that the GOP have already thrown every amount of crap imaginable at her. You either believe that the Clintons murdered Vince Foster or you believe the truth. It's Bernie and the bros who are in for a shock-and-awe should he win the Dem nomination.

While swing states obviously matter, they are not immune to national trends. I remember Bob Dole making the point that if he and Gerald Ford could have found 6,000 or so Carter voters in Ohio and convinced them to switch their vote, Ford would have won the 1976 election, and that's true in itself. But you don't pitch your campaign at individuals, you pitch it at groups. Had Ford/Dole found something to appeal to those voters, it might have alienated someone else. And I find it really hard to believe that anyone thinks that Trump hasn't alienated at least a few people.

There were mindless idiots, like every club. No different to the clowns you hear on the sideline of a GAA match shouting things like 'take him out of it' or 'break his legs'. The one thing that was good was that the response last night by the Liverpool fans was to sing YNWA etc and not resort to Munich chants. They are passionate games but hopefully this won't happen again from either fans. I am though disappointed that the United hierarchy have not come out and said that it was wrong and should not happen or if they have I must have missed it. While they can't stop people doing it they have the onus to make their 'fans' clear in no uncertain terms that it is wrong.

I'm impressed that you managed to see that fowl.

For the love of God, don't try to justify what happened last night by resorting to Munich chants.

*applause*
