I think if you go more "showbiz" at funeral you would get all sorts of attention seekers and i do think there was an element of performing for the camera the other day

The things is these salaries are for 6 months of the season, maybe 7. Most of the teams are gone now by June

Not sure what you do with the Mageean Cup, 6 teams in it this year with two groups of 3. All 6 qualify for QF or semi final.

Quote from: NorthAntrim on December 03, 2023, 09:59:48 PMI think everyone just expects a little bit more professionalism. On a high profile account

Yep, it's the kind of job you shouldn't be noticed & if you are you are doing something wrong

SN done now

Yeah nobody is allowed an opinion. As you say that Slaughneil team is finished, very difficult for them to peak for games like that when half their team don't do much hurling throughout the year. O'Loughlin Gaels will be a step up again

Young McLaughlin has a Mageean final this Friday to play too for St Killians

Quote from: seafoid on November 30, 2023, 08:17:27 AMThe North has a huge deficit called the subvention which means it it is wealthier than most regions in the UK but that salary increases for teachers are out of the question

Inflation has driven a coach and horses through public sector purchasing power. Rents keep on going up- is it the same in the North? Rents have to come down. 
Rent has fallen a bit in the last year I think but i'd say it is still up 30% in Belfast since pre Covid. I rented out my 2 bed apartment from 2017 to 2020 for around £600 pm in Belfast. In a desirable area for young professionals. I've since sold it but the same apartment would be £850 pm now.

Teacher pay is a joke, to get no pay increase after the levels of inflation in the last 3 years is crazy. A teacher used to be a prestigious job that could support a whole family. Now a teacher with a young child paying a mortgage and nursery fees would be struggling to make ends meet.

They aren't alone in the public sector there

Quote from: quit yo jibbajabba on November 28, 2023, 06:08:07 PMThink one of the big differences which gets ignored is the pension. Excellent pension at end of it by they sure pay for it while working. Not uncommon to see a deduction of 4/500 pm taken out. Compare this to a pension of eg tesco/tyre fitter.

Just one argument but I know what yous are saying

Yeah and what they pay in their employer (taxpayer) is paying in 4/5 times that

Maybe they should fix that problem before more people enter the country

Careful you will be branded a far right racist

If 10 million arrived in the next year some of you would still be standing with your #refugeeswelcome signs. None of you will give a serious, truthful answer on migration and levels that are manageable
