Same as myself Laoislad, I've kept myself in reasonable shape since a few races I ran in March/April. Started my plan last week, intend to work in blocks of 4 weeks with every 4th week a deload before pushing on again for the next 3 weeks.

Does anyone know of any shop in Ireland that has a full stock of Nike running shoes? Everywhere I know of in the North seems to be stocked full of Brooks, New Balance, Saucony, Hoka but not a Nike shoe to be found.

The Tyrone lad would still be rolling around holding his face.

Isn't that exactly what Forker did to get McManus sent off? Red card rescinded on video evidence.

that never should have been rescinded. Have seen footage of a clear strike. Yes Forker went down easily but a punch is a punch.

Finally an Armagh man who agrees that Diarmuid Marsden deserved his red card in 2003.

A punch is a punch.

Can anyone recommend a good headlight? My current model is about to give up on me.

Dublin marathon is something else, the atmosphere around the course is brilliant and the fact it's a familiar city to me helps as well. Hopefully everyone stays injury free now and the training block goes well 🤞🏾

I did indeed, I'm delighted. I've a bit of unfinished business to deal with...!

Thanks @laoislad it's great news (provided I am lucky!)

That's disappointing. Trust me to have opted to take a year off in 2020 and now will miss out!

Does anyone here know if there will be entries available for Dublin Marathon in 2022 or will it be closed due to the volume of carry overs from 2020 & 2021?

The Athletic Grounds 😎

To be fair Bearded One those are exceptionally high numbers within a squad. Maybe I was a bit rash and let the authorities decide what should happen next when they have all the facts at their disposal!

Fair dues, it's a difficult situation for any team to be facing and who knows what's around the corner for anyone else. I wouldn't like to be making a call on how things will proceed, that's for sure!

Exactly. Any county should be able to tutn up with a panel of 24 players who are not Covid positive.

Any county using that excuse for not fulfilling a fixture should be deducted 2 points at the start of next years league...or some other meaningful deterrent. Imo.

Bannside I have an awful lot of time for your posts on this forum but I think you are fundamentally wrong on this. Reports suggest Fermanagh have up to 18 players in isolation with half of those reportedly positive Covid cases and the rest isolating due to being close contacts. How can you say they can "turn up" with a panel of 24 to play a game? Do you suggest they bring in a crowd of lads who quit playing club football over a month ago to make up numbers and travel to Ennis? This isn't a Sunday morning pub league game. If we are to believe the seriousness of this cluster within their squad and we've no reason not to, surely someone in the GAA management must see that making them play this game is ludicrous.

Not the case. You don't have to shoot for a score, you can pass to another teammate but they can't call a mark from this.

Sorry your right, what I meant was he has to play the ball within the time, can't be a second mark though

Can't wait for the club leagues to start

60k a year wouldn't be an earth shattering deal for a university graduate like McShane with the profile he has.

I saw Aidan O'Shea was gifted a 70k car during the week by a local garage.

average salary in the north is 33000. He getting near double that. Did Cathal graduate?

I didn't graduate and I earn over £50k per year, what the hell does that matter?
