When you see how the Dubs use dominance as they did against Meath chipping over points, you'd be right to worry for Armagh. For all the good forward they possess they do not score enough even against light weights.

But I'm sure that's the response you were waiting for to refute it.Quote from: tbrick18 on April 05, 2024, 04:09:57 PMQuote from: bennydorano on April 05, 2024, 01:55:34 PMSure the lucks been hanging out of the penalty Kick Champs (X2), why change anything? just go full of the bull until it goes pear shaped and then think about it.
Any examples of when other Ulster teams didn't go all out to win Ulster and as a direct result they won an AI?
In the second year if the current competition?
Harte and the players?
"A couple of years we were of the mindset that we were going to win the All-Ireland and were beaten in the first round. It didn't do us any harm. We went on to win it from there twice."

A quote from Sean Cavanagh today funny enough.
Quote from: tbrick18 on April 05, 2024, 10:29:24 AMTo be fair the Irish Times has a piece in it today which looks critically at the report.Quote from: clonadmad on April 04, 2024, 03:48:39 PMHaving read through the 11 pages of the actual report,it would be handed back to an Economics Undergraduate and He/She would be told to consider another career route
The Authors base their case for starters on an assumption that they know the amount of UK subvention into NI every Year,which is news to anyone versed in these matters as the UK government has never stated an exact total or given an exact breakdown
They then assume that a UI would need to match the current NI contribution to a UK defence Budget,(no thanks Lads,We wont be paying for Trident or Aircraft Carriers)or continue to pay a pro rata portion of UK Debt AFTER NI had left the UK or that the UK would reneage on pension contributions by NI workers paid into the UK pension pot when NI was part of the Uk.
Those 3 areas alone come to anywhere between £5 and £7 bn per annum.
it also assumes that growth rates and productivity are stuck to the floor over the next 20 years, takes no account of the savings or synergy brought about by an All Island Economy and takes no account of inputs from the likes of the EU or FDI going into the 6 counties at 26 counties levels.
This is the type of scrutiny that should be published in the media, but it doesn't make a good headline.
I know for a fact, there are quite a few large multi-national's investing in setting up offices and expanding existing operations in NI as a direct result of Brexit and the finalising of the Windsor agreement. An NI business in Finance/Captial Markets and IT has access to GB and EU markets whilst taking advantage of generally lower salaries and operating costs than in GB and ROI. We're talking high value jobs being created here and the impact of those jobs on the NI economy remain to be seen.
But I don't hear anyone in the media talking about that.

The whys and wherefores of the whole thing aside it's just so antagonistic and disrespectful.She is a product of her upbringing and background. Though they would try to say otherwise the DUP's demographic is a mirror image of SF's which includes ultra loyalist/republican opinion through to more main stream. Like many SF politicians Lockhart panders to that loyalist bloc for votes.
Quote from: weareros on April 04, 2024, 04:29:39 PMJohn Doyle from DCU did a full study on that - showed that Irish gov would only incur about £2-3bn of the UK subvention cost when you extract the security/defence costs, NI's contribution to UK national debt and pensions.It was John Doyle who presented at the conference I attended. He said their work is ongoing. The biggest challenge will be upping productivity in the North which is between 40 and 60% behind the South.
