No Kelly, Finnerty or Comer for Galway, though Tierney and McDaid are back in the starting 15.

They'll get it tight.

Galway ahead of Donegal?

Only because they were division 1.

Wouldn't be much in it.

think 2 to 8 could all beat each other.

Would hope mc cabe starts.

Not sure who drops out for him though. Same with Oisin O'Neill and Nugent both definitely deserve starts.

What ever about the local politicians running for Westminster - the only real interest I have in that is the nationalist v unionist count at the end of it. An increase in the number of nationalists might nudge us further towards a border poll.

It feels inevitable that the Tories are going to lose in a landslide Labour victory and as much as I want to see that, I can't help but feel Starmer is not going to change much. I'm not a fan of his. It's such a pity Labour aren't going in with a Corbyn-esque leader who I think would do some real good. I know he wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but I think he was honest and had the good of all people at heart.

Starmer is the continuity candidate.

Starmer is basically a tory

Another p***k!

I see the SDLP are running in all 18 areas. Eastwood is a joke.

SF running in 14.

He's a p***k. Any chance he'll he'll booted out of Foyle

You can bet any problem or complaint will be blamed on Jeffrey

I said this before but some MLA should tackle this head on and go to town on these clowns.

Call all the heads of insurers into a committee meeting and grill the f&"k out of them.

Complete rip off.

Easy vote winner.

I'd wait for a better source before ruling out any Armagh man. (Bar Conor O'Neill)

SF not standing in Belfast East, Belfast South and Mid Down, Lagan Valley and North Down.
Another few votes for Alliance to stop the DUP.

Will alliance do the same in fst?

Is his injury from that stamp? He's injury prone anyway but to be injured from that act must be infuriating.

Hamstring apparently.

Rumour was Comer hamstring? Any truth to it? Or any more on top?

[Fair chance we lose to Derry and beat Galway and everyone beats Westmeath. In that case score difference only from the games between us, Derry and Galway would come into it.]

In the event that two teams or more finish with equal points, but have been affected by a disqualification, loss of game on a proven objection, retirement or walkover, the tie shall be decided by the following means:

(i) Least number of Walkovers given.
(ii) Score Difference from the games in which only the teams involved, (teams tied on points), have played each other (subtracting the total Scores Against from the total Scores For)
(iii) Highest Total Score For, in which only the teams involved have played each other, and have finished equal in (ii)
(iv) Highest Total Goals For, in which only the teams involved have played each other, and have finished equal in (ii) & (iii)
(v) A Play-Off

From opening page on this thread. Fair chance we lose to Derry and beat Galway and everyone beats Westmeath. In that case score difference only from the games between us, Derry and Galway would come into it. 

Heh?

Surely that's only in the event of a 'disqualification, loss of game on a proven objection, retirement or walkover' if I'm reading this correctly.

Yeah my mistake.

Hopefully the demographics have shifted enough that its more comfortable this time.

Why are you lads quoting the part that deals with Walkovers/Disqualifications?

Here's the relevant section on tie-breakers in league/group formats, (which is more or less the same but the legal eagles like D McK would get upset):




When Teams finish with equal points for Qualification for the Concluding Stages, or for Promotion or Relegation, the tie shall be decided by the following means and in the order specified:

(i) Where two Teams only are involved - the outcome of the meeting of the two Teams in the previous game in the Competition;

(ii) Scoring Difference (subtracting the total Scores Against from total Scores For);

(iii) Highest Total Score For;

(iv) Highest Total Goals For;

(v) A Play-Off

My mistake. Misread  when I seen more than 2 teams. Cheers!

DUP won't stand in FST official

Didn't stand in 2019 did they?
