Sinn Fein got 24.5 % of all FPVs in the 2020 GE

Anyone want to guess what their FPV % will be in the upcoming Local Elections

I'm going to say they will come in at 18%

You know we have proportional representation in elections don't you? So let's see do their seats go up or down. Let's see how the racists get on too.

Yes

But FPV% is a clearer indication as to whether top line support has gone up or down and it's bang front and center in every report written about the results of that election

Just listened to the Gript Podcast-Peasar Toibin very impressive. Hermann Kelly-very unimpressive

haha, Gript again but now with Hermann Kelly.

Listen lad, the only metric that matters is number of seats. Its very simple, even for you.

Well if their FPV% collapses, there a good chance their seat count will too (but not guaranteed)

Another hero for the our pro fa people  to drool over!
How much has this  yoke cost the taxpayers to date?
He has a job and still gets legal aid FFS!

All "asylum seekers" get free legal aid for their appeals. Imagine exposing the Irish tax payer to the combination of an endless amount of chancers from all around the world and unscrupulous lawyers. Barmy!

ffs please not Southgate, he has wasted England best chance to win something over the last few tournaments. The English seem blinded to his incompetence. He speaks well to the media and is a likeable guy but is tactically brain dead

They lost a final on penalties and then lost to a team who missed out on retaining the WC on penalties. I don't think that's down to Southgate "wasting" anything.

Agree

Kane missed a gilt edged chance in WC SF v Croatia, beat on pens in Euro final, Kane missed pen v France in WC

Has to be Southgate now while he's hot surely, how many overlooked Van Dijk before he appeared to surprise many in becoming a stellar player, I see Southgate as the managerial equivalent

I don't know what the motivation was but there certainly is some logic in the 3 teams going through other than money. It greatly reduces the number of dead rubbers and increases the importance of topping the group.

you have got it all wrong. Its all money. Grab all association and what have you..........

I wouldn't go that far but is people in Croke Park whose remit is to maximise profits and at times they need to be reined in.

Don't have any faith in Derry getting a result against Galway, don't think we have ever beat them in Senior championship.

Last time we played them in Q's, Conor Lane gave us as sore a riding as I've ever seen from a referee.

PS sorry to intrude on an Armagh thread lol

This version of Derry has played Galway a few times, lost 2 and won 1, league / championship. So history, bogey team etc wouldn't come into my thinking. Home advantage and their inside forward line does. If I was a gambling man I'd say there will only be a kick of a ball in it with Galway winning a fairly open game of football. Could be a cracker. Hope I'm wrong

I'm not sure what your point is, or if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me.

No version of Derry has ever beaten Galway in championship, you can be sure that will be a factor on saturday.

Injuries look like being the main factor atm if true

I'm hearing McEvoy is the main doubt and the others should play... in that case who picks up Comer?

It's a 50/50 game even if we're fully fit. I think recent results have pushed Derry out of the top 3 and back into the group of 6 teams that could all beat eachother on a given day.

Derry/Galway/Armagh - Donegal/Tyrone - Mayo.

You'd expect all of these will get into the last 12.

We lost to the eventual Champions every year 2010 to 2016.
13 and 16 particularly galling.

I believe it's €25 for the Final.
A bit steep!
