Why did the ref not give a free after Fentons foul?

One of my main issues is the lack of an identifiable style of play. 2 seasons in and United hlseem to be just a bunch of 11 individuals playing their own individual way.

Ten Gag usually spouts the most ridiculous dung after fames. Surprised he hasn't said that United played their best football all season and that the progress is obvious. He isn't good enough.

What's this year's minor side like?  Saw they lost a shield final yesterday to Armagh. No hopes for honours this tear?

Original was miles better. This one was pretty poor and seemed to use CGI a bit in scenes where it wasn't needed. McGregor was terrible.

Quote from: Eire90 on March 29, 2024, 05:29:12 PMhow does this effect northern ireland and all ireland will they not just move on from this and throw donaldson under the bus how does this change NI politically apart from an internal dup thing.

If those who didn't want to back into power sharing are now in charge then this could have serious implications.

I heard rumours that that victims were close relatives.

Quote from: screenexile on March 29, 2024, 12:10:51 PMYou're not allowed to name defendants for Sexual offences in the North.

And nobody gets named until they are charged

The two were charged when the reports came out earlier with no names included.

Watched first half an hour of 3 Body Problem and turned it off as it seemed crap and thought it was one of those multiple, universe inside universe shows like Inception or something. Nothing else to watch last night so stuck on the rest and ended up watching 4 of them. Turning out very good.

Were DJ Carey, Gerard Cavlan or Darren Gleeson ever banned?

MOTs up in price significantly, so paying more for a service that has never been poorer.

If you can be run out for allegedly being violent towards someone then surely a proven unprovoked violent attack should lead to the same conclusion.

Always been stupid. A league with 7 games and there is a final for top 2. Be understandable if there were 20 games, but not enough teams in the divisions for this setup. Plus you see teams who are near the relegation zone in the penultimate week and nearly make the final by the next.

The threshold for not working due to ill-health isn't set too high either.

Quote from: nrico2006 on March 09, 2024, 04:24:24 PMBoxers usually deteriorate physically but the weird case with AJ was that he obviously had mental issues which affected his performances post losing to Ruiz. He became more hesitant, committed less offensively etc. and even tried to just outbox Usyk. Based on the last 2 fights under BDs tutelage, it looks like he has overcome those issues now and looks like the old front foot fighter he was. That fighter could beat Usyk, or Fury.

Beating Ngannu, who isnt a boxer, and Wallin doesnt mean he could beat Usyk or Fury

Usyk, Joshua and then Fury in that order. Fury's boxing CV took some battering in Saudi on the 23rd Dec.
Really?

Course it did.  It was as embarrassing a night as a boxer has ever had.  The worry is that Fury still hasn't backed down from his view that he did train hard for Ngannou.  But the view from former professionals is that no matter if you feel you trained hard, if you don't have that fear factor you are not properly prepared.  It could be the best thing to happen to Fury and I would expect him to be back to his best for Usyk, who again showed an obvious weakness in his last fight.  Top 3 right now is Fury, Usyk and Joshua.   

I'm no Joshua fan boy but he has shown strong evidence that he is back to his best.  He hasn't been taken into dark waters in the last few fights, but the thing is, when Joshua is in this kind of form which is reminiscent to how he was performing before Ruiz, he overwhelmed opponents with his power and speed and essentially made for one way traffic.
