The three prior fatal collisions have claimed 5 lives, all over the age of 30. The road in its current form is simply unfit for purpose.
No one is blaming age all the, but don't let that get in the way of your post. This reason for this accident is unknown, a single car accident involving teenagers. I don't know anyone that is against making this road safer.
But having suggestions in general about car safety and driving sensibly can also happen separately
No one said it would and speed restrictions on young drivers should be for up and down the country and not just the A5
Quote from: Milltown Row2 on May 01, 2024, 10:14:54 AMCoupled with speed restrictions on cars of kids up to a certain age

Some teams might now be thinking a loss wouldn't be the end of the world, so it takes the edge off things.
I'm pretty sure both Donegal and Armagh will want to avoid the group with the winners of Mayo/Galway and Derry!
Mayo and Galway are certainly in a tough position. The loser will get Dublin, Ros and Cavan; the winner the aforementioned group with Derry, Donegal/Armagh and Westmeath.
Quote from: Norm-Peterson on April 30, 2024, 05:34:04 PMThe draw suits me. At the start of the year I posted that I wanted Derry to give Armagh another sickener in an Ulster final. I didn't get that but they can always sicken them in Celtic park.
Quote from: J70 on April 30, 2024, 04:00:54 PMSo Dublin v Mayo/Galway losers will NOT be in Croke Park?
Gaelic Grounds?
Clones?

Group 2 Dublin/Louth Galway/Mayo Roscommon Cavan
Group 3 Donegal/Armagh Kerry/Clare,Tyrone Cork
Group 4 Kerry/Cork Dublin/Louth Monaghan Meath
Little bit more editing to do there.
Change Cork to Clare in group 4

There are other events/establishments people would be refused entry to in such a state, so why not a GAA match as well?
Stewarding needs to be better..
But the jovial attitude towards young lads 'enjoying' themselves usually gives them a bye ball
My parents didn't go this year cause they couldn't face the same crowd as last year (and they are very much hill or nowhere - not fans of the stand!).
I went but went to the Pat McGrane stand and it was fine but it was really obvious the same louts were back this year.
No respect for the minutes silence or anthem for a start.
Personally I would now avoid the hill in Clones (although I do get the impression that it's mostly Armagh fans)
Quote from: onefineday on April 30, 2024, 12:22:28 AMQuote from: yellowcard on April 29, 2024, 03:57:08 PMIt's a whole load of games to whittle the number of teams down from 16 to 12. And when the draw is made you will be able to predict the 4 teams who will be eliminated with a fair degree of certainty. The main interest will centre around which teams top their groups.That's true, because after last year, we all now realise what an advantage finishing top appears to be.
I said last year, if additional jeopardy is needed, we could have the four group winners and the best 2nd place team all progress directly to the quarters. The third place team with the worst record would be eliminated - that should mean little or no dead rubbers.
I'd also tweak it by giving the provincial winners and the 4 top league places (who weren't provincial winners) two home games and get rid of the neutral ground game - this would provide better incentives for provincial winners and league placings. It would also boost attendances as the neutral games last year were very poorly attended iirc.

And could well have been at all the league games

seeing drunken louts at a GAA game sickens me.
Quote from: LC on April 29, 2024, 10:24:46 PMWhen it comes to Armagh matches would the worst of the offenders in terms of the drunken louts be from a certain part of the County (near the M1)? Previous experience would lead me to believe this is the case but I am happy to be proven wrong.
