Saw Mint Aero cheese cake in a shop just outside Cookstown yesterday at £9.. was normal size, thought it a bit mad.

Upper Davin, especially slighter closer to the corners rather than the middle, is a lot better view than people realise. They're the least sought after seating tickets but are much better than lower Davin and better than say the upper cusack/Hogan on the 13 yard line.

Closer to the front is better but I sat in Row U for the 2012 hurling final (yes even with hurling it can be grand!) and much preferred it to center lower Cusack 4 rows from the front in the replay. Can't get a view of what's going on with no elevation

Watched the AI final from the upper Davin towards the Hogan, saw the Tyrone goals in 2nd half no bother may have been cheering both of the goals before the ball crossed the line and crackin view of the missed penalty.

Commentators always pick the corners( with some elevation) to watch matches?

prawn cocktail pringles.

[Armagh were lucky to win it in 02 never mind win a second.]

Armagh were lucky to win it in 02 never mind win a second. In the drawn preliminary game cavanagh missed a easy chance to win it at the end, canavan injured for the replay too.

Sligo missed chances against Armagh too in the 1/4 final, and Dublin had that last gasp free at the end in the semi that hit the post.
Armagh's name was on the cup that year.

I've always said that Armagh were lucky to win in 2002 but unlucky to lose out in about 4 other campaigns.  Think we're down on the deal overall. As regards the 05 trilogy the only match that we deserved to win was the only one we lost!!  Absolutely stole a draw in the first Ulster final, the replay was a 50/50 game and we were narrowly better in the AI semi.

If Armagh had gotten past Kerry in 06 they could have another AI.

Trevor Giles has already applied for an exemption

Though sleeveless it will need designed with the 3 short stripes or Trevor will have to do with out.

world cup 98

Wasn't the 1998 final where Joe Brolly scored a late winning goal and went over to the Donegal section of supporters and blew kisses at them?

Jim Curran gave a 45 that never went over the line to Donegal..

Must be planning something, if he's coming over.

Seems to be going to override parts of the deal.

I had thought the protocol headlines took the attention away from the part-gate news?

The DUP could be throwing Boris a lifeline.

Kinda got bored with the Greencastle Aghyaran thing but did Greencastle allegedly play the illegal u17 under a false name ?

Apparently so, then Aghyaran reported them and kildress took the blame. TID

Man City in this competition  remind me of Mayo. The psychology is trina cheile

And Liverpool remind me of Tyrone. Hate the feckers but they have a knack of winning the thing unfortunately.

United are Tyrone... horrible outfit and worse supporters!!!

Didn't Tohill have a trail with United, we'd have been happy enough to poach Muldoon at one stage.

Any Tyrone people on here know who Paul Gags Gallagher is standing in West Tyrone?.  Is he a disident republican candidate or what is the craic with him?

He comes from a prominent family in Strabane that includes both senior IRSP member Willie Gallagher as well as the Strabanimal.  He was an IRSP candidate before but started running independently a few years ago.  Seems to get things done for people in the area and is well respected.

Think he's trying to save Greencastle from the gold mine as part of his campaign.

I think we should just go for a 30 county republic lol

How dare you leave Derry and Antrim within the UK.

Them and Rockall..

Celtic didn't even play that well (not as well as we know they can) but done enough. On chances it could have been 6-3 to Celtic. This could be the end for these Zombies, £27m of a loss so far and thinking they're getting the £40m CL money (I know the league is not won yet) to wipe out their debt. Again spending money they don't have and it's obvious they didn't learn their lesson from the last time.
I know some of the Celtic fans are no Angels but that behaviour today from the Zombies was atrocious TBH. They really are scum of the earth.

Dont think its as bad as the last time but no doubt its a set back. They'll have to sell players and the values are nowhere near what they think. They might get 10m for Morelos but that's about it.

Regarding the fans - they just cant take a beating. There's a lad in hospital in glasgow with a bleed on his brain. A load of rangers fans apparently jumped off a bus to batter him on the side of the road. FFS can you not just go home and lick your wounds. Bunch of cowards

Herad because of the Russian sanctions rangers could  get into championships league.

I actually would agree that the Rossies (or Galway) shouldn't be putting too much store in the final. Promotion was the priority and with that achieved, albeit courtesy of a controversial home draw against a team that was in division 4 two years ago and a win against an already promoted Galway, there is little point in risking first choice players in the final. It would be a nice touch to give those who have got, or are likely to get, little game time this year a runout at Croke Park.

I'd say the two recent Connacht titles for Roscommon is a surprise to many, given Roscommon's anonymity at the business end of the season, but they are also an indicator that the big hitters treat Connacht titles in the same way Roscommon treat div 2 finals.

Totally agree. A couple of flukey Connacht titles when Mayo and Galway have taken their eye off the ball does not make roscommon a superpower. They are a few points below Galway as a team and about 10 behind Mayo. They are nowhere near good enough to be turning up their noses at a league title.

Really displaying your ignorance, and what's worse is your confidence in your ignorance!

A Roscommon vs Derry fixture would be interesting this summer.

As always Fermanagh & South Tyrone will be interesting to watch.  Currently 3 SF, 1 DUP, 1 UUP on a 71.5% turnout in 2017.

Arlene Foster isn't running this time and I'd expect that Deborah Erskine who was coopted into Foster's seat should pick that up.  Paul Bell who resigned from the DUP live on TV is the other DUP candidate but with current polling it's hard to see him pick up the seat that Maurice Morrow lost in 2017.  The TUV is running Tom Elliott's cousin Alex and it'll be interesting to see how he does (780 1st prefs in 2017) For SF, big hitters Michelle Gildernew and Sean Lynch aren't running this time, but I'd expect Michelle's brother, Colm, to take that seat.  He was coopted in 2017 after she became an MP and he has fairly high profile being the health spokesperson and the Gildernew name brings a load of votes with it.  Jemma Dolan was a surprise package in 2017 benefitting from the 'surge' to SF on the day and I'd be surprised if she's not elected.  Newcomer Aine Murphy is hoping to take the 3rd seat but will be under pressure.  Nationality campaigner Emma DeSouza is running as an independent and former SF now Socialist councillor Donal O Cofaigh is running.

Alliance is hoping to nick a seat here with Matthew Beaumont and there was a surprise move from the UUP to field two candidates here for one seat and I'd say Tom Elliott will probably win a seat at the expense of sitting MLA Rosemary Barton who was elected by SDLP transfers in 2017.

Hard to predict what'll happen here.  If SF can hold the 3 seats then they've had a very good day.  But I've a feeling that Alliance will take a seat in front of SF and SDLP.

Prediction: 2 SF, 1 DUP, 1 UUP, 1 All.

Good constituency Profile Pub Bore.  But I don't think Alliance can win here.  There should be 1 DUP, 1 UUP, 2 SF and the final seat will be between the 3rd SF candidate and the SDLP

Not certain but i think the UUP got in the last time due to the vote for Colm get Mike campain.
