Although there are some fantastic eating experiences. I'd highly recommend Keens Chophouse - an old steakhouse dating back to late 1800s and full of history.

From a caeer / money point of view, seems a bad move as he's unlikely to follow same trajectory of Gavin Whyte without having international football to help boost his profile. As another poster said though, I guess his heart wasn't in it. Fair enough, but as with Grealish and Rice, just a shame it took him 7 years to work that out and at same time took away potential opportunity for development from someone else.
Kenny approached Sykes to declare. That might have given him hope, he's paying League 1 so will have a bit to do.
There has been other Northern players in the past who switched, and were never capped by the Republicx like Daniel Kearns

Main Street - agreed if you don't accept the reliability of the dogs, then Amaral had no case.
The evidence of the dogs is irrelevant, it doesnt support Amaral's theory in the least that the McCanns were complicit, either in the killing or/and the removal of the corpse. Amaral's theory or anybody's theory that the McCanns were complicit is beyond the realms of human possibility, beyond the realm of rationality.
The (unreliable) evidence of the dogs only adds some fuel to conspiracy theorists that the McCanns were complicit, a conspiracy theory that conveniently ignores the stone wall of evidence that renders their theory worthless.

So in short, the GAA is wrong to examine the naming of clubs after a colossal racist because he did his bit for Catholics back in the day?
I wouldn't summarise it exactly in those words (esp. the part about Catholics as noted by trueblue) but given that most people are a mixture of good and bad, something like this is a matter of weighing up the bad and the good and determining which was a more significant part of that person's life.
Mitchell held extremely racists views which were wrong by any measure but as far as I know (and I'm open to correction on this), he wasn't a leading figure in the pro-slavery movement - would American history books on the subject reference anything of his? I think it can be reasonably argued that he was more influential in the course of Irish nationalism and that it made up more of his life than the slavery movement.
Someone earlier mentioned Eoin O'Duffy, he might make a more interesting study - he was a prominent figure in the fight for Irish independence but does his later involvement with fascism completely obliterate his earlier contributions? According to Wiki, the terrace in Clones is named after him

I'm not so sure now. Talk of him being released so is this an attempt to hold onto him.
Is he not serving a sentence for other sex offences? He's in prison in Germany was what I understood not that he'd been arrested.
It's a truly harrowing story and when I think about it I can't stop thinking about that wee girls last few hours. Afraid, alone, most probably crying looking help or her parents, not knowing what was happening. It really, really gets me.
Does not bare thinking about, harrowing stuff. This suspect is eligible for parole from his current sentence from this Sunday onwards, can't see that happening.
It's not beyond the realms of possibility that the child died in the holiday apartment at the hand of the intruder, and then the intruder took the body with them. This might add some credence to the cadaver dogs picking up a scent of death in the apartment.
The dog handler - Martin Grime - who is highly accomplished and solved many cases with Cadaver dogs has stated a body needs to be in place for 2 hrs before a scent of death develops. So the above would not be possible if the parents and friends were checking every half hour as they stated. It also still does not explain the perplexing fact that scent of death was also discovered in the McCann's hire car, a car they hired after the abduction took place, which led the original detective to believe that they transported the body later and concealed it, after she died from an accident in apartment after being left alone. His theory, not mine. Hopefully the family get closure but this latest suspect seems to be similar to the pedophlle who confessed in the Jo Benet Ramsay case (where parents were also suspects), and it turned out he was someone just looking for attention. There seems to be very little hard evidence other that he boasted to a friend. The original detected also predicted a year ago that this person would be made a scapegoat to close the case.
Pretty mad rant that in fairness.
The dog man would appear to have all the credibility of a palm reader.
I'm sorry but that is simply not true. These same dogs have brought many murderers to justice, including in Ireland.

Did the murderer use the McCann's hire car to move the body and then leave it back? Whatever about Rex being a good boy, he ain't solved any murders. He can pick up a scent but after that you need evidence. Never seen Rex take the stand yet. May as well consult the daily horoscopes.

He 'boasted to whoever' and phone records place him in the town an hour before abduction. I aint a dectective but if thats not something to go on then dont know what is. More perplexing is that he is a sex offender that lived in the area at that time. Why has has it taken this long to question/link him?
Quote from: Main Street on June 05, 2020, 04:37:14 PMYes, they could have got it wrong. However, they don't get it wrong most of the time. They have a 90%+ accuracy. And there were two dogs. One detected scent, then the second recovered blood samples where the scent was found, which proved the dogs was onto something. The DNA proved inconclusive - some say because of poor testing methods from a lab that is now closed down. This is not nonsense. It is in the police files. And I did point out the car was rented afterwards, which is why I mentioned what the police detectives theory was.Quote from: NetNitrate on June 05, 2020, 04:24:37 PMQuote from: balladmaker on June 05, 2020, 01:19:26 PMQuote from: trailer on June 05, 2020, 01:10:48 PMQuote from: An Watcher on June 05, 2020, 10:19:42 AM

The only perplexing thing is that this nonsense is repeated year in year out. That car was rented some 24 days after Madddie was abducted, cue conspiracy theorists doing gymastics to explain that one.
How about the obvious simple explanation that the cadaver sniffer dogs got it wrong, such dogs get it wrong most of the time.
