That's a very honest article by McStay, have always thought he was one of the better pundits working in the media and he has walked the line so has seen the GAA from every side.

He makes particularly good points about how Mayo seem to produce an abundance of athletic running type footballers but very few final third finishers. Also raised an interesting statistic about how Mayo had 8 wides, a missed penalty and 2 balls dropped short in the final third of the match. That is a meltdown of bad decision making by anybodys standards.

I'm also glad that somebody from within Mayo football has finally had a go back at Brolly after he stuck the boot in again the morning after an AI final defeat. He needs to be challenged on those personal attacks but a lot are afraid to get drawn in and speak out about it.

Where was McStay's statement on the personal abuse brolly doled out to Cavanagh a few years ago? Not much use calling out that type of personal attack only when it hits close to home. He has had ample opportunities and a TV platform to call Brolly out previously but failed to do so.

Did they have that ridiculous bonfire in Derry this year, or have they wised up?

There was one in the Fountain estate in July, and it is being rebuilt for the Apprentice Boys march. It is about 20 paces from terraced houses and right in front of a firestation. I didn't see any nationalist bonfires.

I'm after any advice after getting myself into grief with a landscape gardener. Just before the first lockdown i had employed a landscape company to completely renovate my back garden for a total cost of £10,000 which included some building works and removal of materials. He started two days before the first lockdown in March 2020 and then disappeared promising to come back once everything opened up, at this stage i had foolishly given him a deposit of £2500 and then another £3500 on the second day for materials the same day that he left site never to return.

After many false promises, lies and dodged phone calls i got a solicitor involved and he has come back with a promise to pay me back £500 per month until the debt is satisfied. My solicitor seems to think this is the best outcome but i have reservations such as what if he goes bankrupt in the meantime, what if he just stops payments or the payments are late/missed.

Note the payments to him were bank transfers directly to his personal account.

Looks like the Stallion has morphed into a bronco!!

The Manchester Bombing by the IRA was roughly half the size of this explosion, if the 2750kg figure is accurate. Obviously without knowing the exact ins and outs of bomb making, I think it was the same stuff....created the same mushroom cloud etc.

Its reportedly 2750 tonnes or 279000kg not 2750kg which would make it roughly 200 times larger than the manchester bomb

Don't argue with idiots! they'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Ladies/gents, I do a lot of quizzing in my spare time and have quite a portfolio of pass quizzes that i can upload on here if anyone if looking to burn off any brain cells and stave off boredom for a few minutes. I have a wide range of topics covered and everything from high brow to pop culture. I also have quizzes for teenagers and young adults.

I can post a few in here if there is any interest.

I stopped going to quizzes when everyone got a mobile phone (a long time ago) and the winners of any quiz became the people who could check the answers online without getting caught.

How do quizzes work in pubs etc nowadays when everyone can cheat?

Its fair to say they are not working too well in Pubs at the moment

Au contraire, the speed quizzing pub quizzes in and around belfast are getting a steady 25 teams weekly

Speed quizzing in bars and pubs is quite popular at the moment in belfast and especially england, it utilises a smart phone or a tablet and sends the questions to your device with a time limit to answer negating the chance to google answers

Have a look.

I have used it in the pass but the questions tended to repeat themselves after a short while so it became a game of who was the quickest rather than smartest.

I like the idea of an all ireland gaaboard knockout quiz. Something along the lines of the best of each county progresses from a league/knockout to a straight allireland knockout

Keep the boycott going of the companies who screwed over their employees and those who exploited the virus for their own gain

I'm sure i wasn't alone in reporting him. The amount of vitriol and general shithousery he spouts.
