Top level football is getting depressing.

City and Madrid way out in front. Others run them close, but they always have that edge in the end.

It's not as if they steamrolled Dortmund. They had their chances and didn't put them away. Typically that means defeat against the big guns. But I agree with your main point.

Dortmund the better team in the first half yet 0-0.

Always ominous against this crowd.

DUP won't stand in FST official

Didn't stand in 2019 did they?

Who is standing?

UUP "unification" candidate Diana Armstrong

If you are going to give it to someone, internally or not, you just can't go lumping someone else in with them just to suit a certain perceived bias or balance, i.e. Horse with someone from the city!

Whoever you give it to needs to live and die on their own sword and let them bring in whoever they need or want as in the end it's them that will have to work with the whole team, coaches and all.

Yes this whole country/city mix is weird. They are all (potentially!) from Antrim and should be the best people for the job. I remember reading people saying that an outsider like Gleeson was a *better* option has he came with no bias! At county level you'd like to think the management team are picking the best available panel!

The Armagh draw popped up on my Facebook feed the other day, £25 per ticket for a chance to win a house in Downings is good value compared to regularly paying £20 where max prize is £10k.

Seems to good to be true?

Seen it too. I think it's a house or 250k. Pitched at a good price to attract a lot of sales.

Rishi will be over the moon.

Shitting the bed in all the big moments offensively. Could nearly be out of sight by now with all the attacking platforms they've created.

Aye it's not looking great. Their testicular fortitude has been questioned repeatedly on the big day and it feels like today will be no different.

Some of the lads need to familiarise themselves with the term "the lesser of two evils". By their very nature no politician is going to tick every box but if you find yourself rooting for the Tory candidate *ever* then you need to take a look at yourself.

I haven't seen anyone here rooting for the Tory candidate. And there's no question that Labour is the lesser of two evils, but the point is that as far as Kier Starmer himself goes, you could barely more than slide a cigarette paper between himself and your average Tory.

Look back over recent history- Blair was voted in, Corbyn was not and there is a reason for that. Starmer clearly closer to Blair than Corby. despite being part of his team at one stage.

My aunt won a house back in the earlier 2000's. Which was great. I sold her the ticket. Had 5 tickets to sell each, and bought two myself. 2/5 chance... 🥲

At least you don't think about it

Does anybody routinely listen to Oasis? I think nostalgia papers over a lot of cracks.

Hopefully my local MP Fleggory Campbell won't be making a bid for reelection, surely served his time by now and has gotten alot quieter over the last few years

Handy money is hard to turn down.

Decent compo package for Poch no doubt.

Just wondering has anyone on here been to both the Austrian and Swiss Alps in the summer and able to compare them?
Have a week to take off work in early July and now thinking of trying to get a sneaky week away - but don't want the usual Med resort type break.
I was looking at Zell am See and Seefeld in Austria initially, but also looking at Morzine (mainly due to the free outdoor public heated pool) and Annecy in France.
I'm going research blind now though so am secondf guessing myself!
We've been away already earlier in the year, so trying to keep this as cheap as possible (so probably won't be able to stump up for accommodation with a pool for the kids).
Just looking for somewhere scenic with some swimming possibilities for the kid within walking distance of a reasonable choice of restaurants.
Anyone been to the areas mentioned?

Pretty sure

Pretty sure Rois and seafoid have commented on that area previously if you can get the search function to work!

Regardless of how he arrived at the decision, the replay clearly shows that it was the correct one and that's all that matters.
Don't know what there is to yap about.

Davy has a screw loose may have something to do with it.
