Quote from: trailer on February 19, 2024, 09:15:54 AMUtd should have won the game 10-0. some poor finishing. Onana with yet another mistake to allow them back into the game.
The mistake for the first Utd goal from the Luton player. Christ almighty. If one of the under 14s did that in soccer you'd never play him again. How some of these players get to this level is beyond me.

Maguire made a similar mistake but just about got away without it ending in a goal!

£200m offered now apparently. He is bound to be pushing himself at wages of 1.5 per week!

When is the last time Utd set targets and got them signed early enough to prepare well for the season. Things are changing for the better.

Not trying to be insensitive or argue that the road does not need improving but is it not true that about 95% of Road deaths are caused by driver error, not paying attention, speeding, driving while impaired etc ?

It is true but there is no point saying that everyone will just sit at 40mph behind a tractor. Yes if everyone did deaths would reduce dramatically but its not going to happen. On that logic why do cars need seatbelts?

The A4 to Dungannon is a example of what happens when the road is upgraded. Journey times reduced and deaths reduced dramatically. Yes it costs money but it is the only realistic way of reducing deaths because driver behaviour is unlikely to change dramatically.

This is the whole case in a nutshell. A road that is fit for purpose and can take the volume.

Another bad smash on it yesterday between Ballygawley and Omagh. Road was closed for a few hours with several ambulances in attendance. It was only a very short distance from where somebody died last week. There is no viable argument not to begin a new road project immediately.

As in I have only ever seen it on the likes of Twitter. Do people actually say it in real life? Or do they say Loserpool in real life either?

'Banter' seems a bit of an English term. Never heard it used much in Ireland but each to their own I guess.

I agree that it is a failure of the rules but I wouldn't go as far as you do. An honest tackle which fouls an attacker (outside the penalty area) shouldn't be a penalty IMO.

The soccer model should be used for all deliberate fouls (like today) but the nitty gritty of what's deliberate and what's not is not going to be pretty.

He was reaching from behind and caught the neck/shoulder area. Hand not even close to where the ball was. What part of his intentions at that stage would be an 'honest tackle'?

Do we know the quarter match-ups or is that another draw to be made?

Scandalous how that wasn't a black card and a penalty for Tyrone.

Ridiculous. Are these referees assessed on these games? He needs coaching on the rules.
