Can the PPS back off with the prosecution (eg after 6 months) but reserve the right to take it up again in the future?

I think Down lost because they shot themselves in the foot with poor decisions in the latter part of the game, such as the mark a bit to the left where the kicked hadn't a hope in hell of scoring a point.Quote from: David McKeown on April 27, 2024, 07:07:09 PMQuote from: Milltown Row2 on April 27, 2024, 07:02:10 PMThat last free, he didn't blow for the 'first' foul, blew for the obvious round the neck free, spoke to linesman, free then given for first free (which you can't do) and thankfully he missed
Three times in the game he over turned frees awarded to Armagh and let's not mention the on the ground he gave with the ball a foot in the air
But he also gave Armagh a few soft ones.
On balance I think Down did better out of his decisions. But the referee wasn't a determinant factor in the score line of this game, not even remotely close.

Some people do anything to post online.
Major c**k up by the police to bring him out and no transport. Saw a photo of that man and he looks exactly like you expect him to. Bryson seems to think he's a republican.

I'm almost certain Ben Lowry says good to see you to him and seemed to know where he was from.
Could be a republican but highly unlikely.

For a while I wilted but the entrance out of nowhere of the lusciously intelligent Teri got me back on the right track.Quote from: Jell 0 Biafra on April 23, 2024, 01:09:24 PMHow come? I binge-watched it over the weekend (more or less) and found it fascinating, but never felt I had to turn it off.Quote from: NAG1 on April 23, 2024, 11:59:16 AMQuote from: mrdeeds on April 20, 2024, 03:37:47 PMQuote from: JimStynes on April 15, 2024, 09:56:27 PMBaby Reindeer on Netflix is very good.
Unreal. He's a great actor considering he's a comedian. Must be therapeutic playing himself. I never was as uncomfortable watching something and as quiet when over.
Couldn't sit through it.
Me either. Took two goes to make it through the first episode. Think I'll leave it at that.
The actress playing Martha was fantastic as well.
Quote from: AustinPowers on April 21, 2024, 08:25:19 PMIf the ref thought Morgan took too long then he would've cancelled the free, not added on 20 seconds at the end.Quote from: Dreadnought on April 21, 2024, 06:42:40 PMQuote from: clarshack on April 21, 2024, 06:25:49 PMHe didn't even play enough time to cover the wasting at the last Morgan free lad...Quote from: Dreadnought on April 21, 2024, 06:22:11 PMQuote from: tyrone08 on April 21, 2024, 06:21:07 PMHow the hell is it a free out when 3 players are kneeing on you. Goldrick is a complete balloonI'd go get your eyesight checked if I were you. The ref won it for you
He gave Cavan more time than they should have got at the end for them to try and get an equaliser.
From when the free was awarded to Morgan kicking it was roughly a minute. Ref played about 45 seconds over the 2 minutes , so technically 15 seconds short.
But aren't players allowed the 15 seconds to kick a free? So that evens it out
Quote from: JPGJOHNNYG on April 20, 2024, 03:48:03 PMJoe hart had an interesting shoot outI thought his save was brilliant, he got down fast at full stretch (that's a long stretch) to grab the hard hit penalty. However, the pundits commented upon the poorly struck penalty.
Quote from: tonto1888 on April 17, 2024, 10:42:45 AMCalling trans women perverts in dresses does not help matters whatsoeverIt's a blatant bigoted statement.
Quote from: HokeyPokey on April 17, 2024, 05:38:42 PMYou're not posing a proper counter to my statement. Read what both have stated re trans rights then come back here.Quote from: gallsman on April 17, 2024, 10:44:08 AMtrans women should not compete in women's sports is not a denial of their rights. The argument against it is backed by numerous credible sports scientists, e.g. Ross Tucker. Introducing "trans women are big and yes that might hurt someone playing rugby, but the numbers are so small it's irrelevant therefore it doesn't matter" into the discussion is a red herring. The issue is the principle and integrity of women's sport as a protected category.
Again, I'm not denying these aren't issues, but they should be worked through, the anti trans obsessives like to find these issues and make them out to something much bigger, and plenty of incidents where whole narratives and stories have been completely invented. I've seen them targeting casual park runs over trans women being recorded as women and another headline about a trans woman who finished thousands of places behind others in a marathon. I can't say I see any discussion of women's sports on here in general. Again, it's quite noteworthy how people take an issue with this issue in women's sports, but never seem to comment or show an interest in it otherwise.
The IRFU taking a very public decision to ban two trans players from playing amateur rugby is not productive imo. It wouldn't be difficult to have a set of clear guidelines. What they did sent a terrible message.Quote from: Main Street on April 16, 2024, 11:49:21 PMQuote from: HokeyPokey on April 16, 2024, 11:42:26 PMI do find it odd that those who are so against trans rights have no personal experiences or skin in the game so as to speak.Not even Graham Lenihan or J.K. Rowling are against 'trans rights' per se.
Both of them are obessives. They have no personal connection to the issue, nor are they experts in the field. Lenihan, especially, he has ruined his career and marriage over this issue. Look at the types of people who are involved in the anti-trans movement Ireland and worldwide, which include literal nazis.
It strikes me as quite similar to the right wingers who are pro-life, who don't care about the social conditions a child is born into, or the anti-Immigration crowd who are supposedly concerned about safety and housing, but will riot and light accommodation on fire and some with convictions for violence against women. People are concerned about people 'becoming' trans, but as soon as they do, they'll completely dehumanise them.

Quote from: Armagh18 on April 16, 2024, 10:43:45 PMHe was tripped with the ball still in play, and a chance that Barca could have gained a cross or a corner, doesn't matter one iota if he was being well marshalled away from goal and to claim he was "looking for it" requires mind reading ability, not an objective factor. The ref could have pointed to the spot and there wouldn't have been too many qualms had he done so.Quote from: marty34 on April 16, 2024, 10:34:41 PMI thought Barca's Gundogen was clipped in the penaalty box before PSG got a goal in the econd half?The one he got booked after for for arguing? Never for me, he wad going nowhere and looked for it.
