GAA Discussion / Re: 2017 Allianz Prediction Leagues

Just a week to go to the start of the 2017 Allianz Leagues. We've set up a Mayo Club 51 mini league again this year. If anyone wants to join it, the code is  wynlvZyqaFxy

Any interest in a GAA Board mini league, or has anyone set one up already?

Trump doesn't have the temperament to be President. He will do a lot of damage to the GOP.

Good to be back home.

Outright Betting    

Cork 7/4
Galway 3/1
Meath 11/2
Kildare 6/1
Derry 15/2
Down 12/1
Fermanagh 14/1
Clare 20/1

Kildare are closer to Clare than Cork and themselves and Down should probably be the 2 favourites for relegation but Kildare punters are a bit too loyal. In saying that hard to call a winner, so whoever gets a bit of momentum early on should get promoted 9/10 points to do the trick.

I've bet the stud farm and the Range Rover on the lads. It's only a matter of toggin out.
toggin out and doin a few stretches

We have yet to see what happens when Trump tries to use the Internal Revenue Service or the Federal Bureau of Investigation to destroy his opponents. He thinks he has succeeded in bullying companies, and he has no compunction about bullying individuals, including those with infinitely less power than himself. His advisers are already calling for journalists critical of the administration to be fired: Expect more efforts at personal retribution. He has demonstrated that he intends to govern by executive orders that will replace the laws passed by the people's representatives.
In the end, however, he will fail. He will fail because however shrewd his tactics are, his strategy is terrible—The New York Times, the CIA, Mexican Americans, and all the others he has attacked are not going away. With every act he makes new enemies for himself and strengthens their commitment; he has his followers, but he gains no new friends. He will fail because he cannot corrupt the courts, and because even the most timid senator sooner or later will say "enough." He will fail most of all because at the end of the day most Americans, including most of those who voted for him, are decent people who have no desire to live in an American version of Tayyip Erdogan's Turkey, or Viktor Orban's Hungary, or Vladimir Putin's Russia.
There was nothing unanticipated in this first disturbing week of the Trump administration. It will not get better. Americans should therefore steel themselves, and hold their representatives to account. Those in a position to take a stand should do so, and those who are not should lay the groundwork for a better day. There is nothing great about the America that Trump thinks he is going to make; but in the end, it is the greatness of America that will stop him.

It was not thought through correctly at all.

Instead of saying "from now all applications for green cards/visas from these certain countries will not be given consideration for 120 days" he just banned everyone from those countries so people who have been granted green cards and visas were fucked when they landed at the airport and still will be as far as I can see?

It's a total clusterfuck and the first of many... but hey let's give him a chance  ::)
Why do you think he is a serial bankrupt?
He doesn't think anything through

I don't care how we do it BUT we have to get out of this bloody division this year - I am sick of the sight of the place!  Crucial to the development of a relatively very young squad also.
They hafta get out of D2 this year. Last 2 years they had chances to do so but didnt take them. The team is developing even if last year was disappointing.

Is it a complete ban from the 7 named Countries or are persecuted minorities except?
How would one prove they were a persecuted minority? Is it just Christians and Jews or are all minorities exempt?
What about Ahmadis and other minority Muslim sects considered heretics and persecuted by Sunni's?
Religious minorities which are not Muslim. Not social minorities such as GLBT.
Does it specifically mention Muslims / Islam or just religious minorities which could theoretically include minority muslim groupings?

Avishai Margalit, an Israeli philosopher and co-founder of Peace Now, told me. "Everything is an outlier. No one can predict anything. It's not as if there is a deviation and you try to explain it. Everything is a deviation. You cannot rationalize it. It's a family business, and they treat the White House as a family business, like Don Corleone. He doesn't feel that he has to please anybody. You bully everyone and see what happens.

Meath look cheap. Derry are probably better than them

Whitey considers himself to be socially moderate, now that is scary.
I was surprised to see Whitey coming out with the nonsense about the lying media

Just wondering what your thoughts are here.  GB Secretary of State should be neutral on the national question.  I'm sure they stand for other national anthems in what they consider their own territory, so why not ours?
This was at the McKenna Cup Final Saturday night which he attended.  The first ever SoS to attend a GAA match...
He is a Tory.
Corbyn , leader of the UK opposition, on the other hand, supports a united Ireland

This is turning a bit crazy...
Who could ever have guessed electing a complete moron would mean things turning crazy?!  ;D
Why would a serial bankrupt make a horse's arse of it?
