Was there not something in Offaly hurling this year where Kilcormac Killoughey had a vote on whether they'd have 2 teams in senior this year.

Since they won intermediate this year.

Is that not how it's supposed to work - has Damien McErlain been taking the Derry u15s and u16s for the last few years?

Also - has O'Rourke not been overseeing the Armagh development squads for the last 3/4 years when they have finally started to get some traction?

Eugene O'Callaghan  was the Armagh U16 manager last year and Barra O' Muiri, Brendan Nugent among the coaches.

Western standards laid bare for all to see:

I'm not sure the term "Western" is appropriate, every west European country and Canada, Australia and New Zealand support the ICC.

Antrim / Re: Antrim Hurling

Yes, they are competing very well. Shouldve been in place years ago

But failing to field in the reserve league as a result.

Hence my reference to everyone working together to get a joined up solution.

Loughgiel are probably the best blessed numbers wise. They have entered Div 2 as a result of limited games in res leagues over the years with (im guessing) other teams letting them down. The stronger reserve teams should play all county leagues in my opinion. The weaker play in the divisional leagues, north and south antrim and scrap these Reserve leagues

Don't disagree with your reasoning.

But then you get into a debate about whether they should play their D2 fixtures or their reserve fixtures when there is a clash and this results in other teams being let down.

I think a collective approach is required to sort this issue out.

It's degree lads. The Republicans want to give carte blanche to Israel. They're going mad at Biden for even pausing the shipments of 2000 lb bombs, with the House officially "rebuking" him recently. They're on tv arguing that the Gazan civilians are fair game because they elected and support Hamas. You think it's bad for the Palestinians now? Just wait till Trump wins and the GOP take back the Senate this autumn.

I know of Republicans who wouldn't care if every single resident of Gaza was killed

Their logic is that the Palestinians voted in Hamas, so they now need to live with the consequences

Brolly embarrassed to be from Derry.

Also annoyed at Mckinless's stamp.

Is that a whistle for another torrent of abusive messages about Brolly.
I get him being annoyed at McKinless stamp... not being ashamed to be from Derry though.

No sh!te Sherlock. FFS!! 🤦

Sorry for commenting my dear Watson...

And yet people continue to play the antisemitism, poor Jews, like seriously.

No doubt this drum is being continually banged to detract from the reality / brutality what is going on.

Netanyanhu is no different that the b##tards who were in charge of Yugoslavia politically / militarily in the 90s.

Genocide Joe now calling an international court "Outrageous". If Donald Trump said that we would all be aghast. Its clear there is zero difference between Biden and Trump, 2 cheeks on the same arse. He is right though, there is no equivalence between Hamas and Israel. One is an invader, armed to the teeth with the highest tech weapons imaginable holding millions of people in an open air prison and committing Genocide. The other is a resistance movement firing the equivalent of bows and arrows at their more powerful occupier. Definitely no equivalence.

Western standards laid bare for all to see:



When he received threats not to go after Israel,
@KarimKhanQC
 reveals "a senior leader" told him the ICC "is built for Africa and for thugs like Putin", and not for the West and its allies.

He should be careful or he might end up in a helicopter or car crash.

Or commit "suicide"
