Cavan players doing 18km runs. Talk about a throwback to the old school.

A km for each player on the panel.

The farmers paper, that's one of your best ones yes Sphillis.

Very low key this year. Hardly a peep from anyone.

Celtic possibly tired but for me McGregor, Lustig and Forrest need replacing. None of them are good enough.

Very very poor stuff by Celtic managing to make rangers look decent

Havr to agree to differ then. If I look at a team like Burnley for example, I'd say they'd only be interested in 3 or maybe 4 of the Celtic team. If Celtics players were that good they'd already be at teams in the premier league's bottom half getting paid a lot more than they are today. That said I do think the likes if Sinclair, Dembele, Armstrong and tierney are very good players. But lustig, McGregor, Forrest are very ordinary and lose the ball way too much against poor opposition.

Teams often reflect their most important players, and McClean sums up Irish soccer these days. Hardworking and committed, but fundamentally not good enough to compete at a high level, and generally unlikeable.

If that's the yardstick for an individual sporting award, then we have low standards.

He doesn't vote SDLP. Get over it.

I love james mcclean and the way he has the courage to stand up for what he believes in. I love the way he wears his heart on his sleeve when he's playing for ireland and he seems to care as much as the most passionate fan but that doesnt make him the best sports person ireland has produced this year.

agreed. I think he is a decent footballer but it comes to down to this for me. In a pure footballing sense would I want him to sign for Celtic? The answer to that is no

He'd be a legend up there... and to be fair the standard in the Scottish league is crap

He's good enough for the lower half of the epl no bother but he's not good enough for celtic. He's nowhere near as good as Forrest, Roberts, Sinclair and if he cam he would hamper the progress of exciting prospects like mikey johnston.

You're deluded if you actually believe that.

Amazing the lengths to which cynics will go on this thread,including crass banalities,to attempt to disprove the existence of God.

The thing is if they are really convinced in their atheism why get so agitated?

The vast majority of posts are aimed at you to show your incredible hypocrisy..

The Pope doesn't own any of it though.

All run by the totally corrupt Vatican banking setup?

My point is the bible is  clearly calling for followers to be rid of their wealth. Just wondering how is it that Catholic church doesn't call this out or why Tony never mentions it. After all it's very hard for a rich man to get to heaven. It maybe Tony just picks the bits that suit his own homophobic bias?

I always considered the rich man not getting into heaven thing patronising. It's a bit like...don't you worry wee peasant. Sure you're crawling on your belly in this life, but don't worry because youll get into heaven no problem, unlike thon moneybags neighbour of yours. He's going straight to hell. So cheer up, count your blessings, and be grateful you're a piss poor peasant.

f**k right off.

So does the Bible promote Socialism or reinforce Capitalism?

Totalitarian of course.

Anyway poor auld priest after winning the lotto and in doing so consigning himself to hell. Doesn't matter how good a life he lived he has gone against the holy bible

There are two Bible passages that refer to embracing a life of poverty. The first is found in the Gospel of Luke where Jesus teaches that those who wish to follow Him should dispose of their personal property. The second is found in the Acts of the Apostles where it is revealed that the early Christians did not claim private ownership of any possessions, but rather, shared everything in common.

"A certain ruler asked him, 'Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?' Jesus said to him, 'Why doyou call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: 'You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; Honor your father and mother.' He replied, 'I have kept all these since my youth.' When Jesus heard this, he said to him, 'There is still one thing lacking. Sell all that you own and distribute the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me. Jesus looked at him and said, 'How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!'" [Lk. 18:18-23]

"Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common. With great power the apostles gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold. They laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need." [Acts 4:32-5]

So - how come there are churches, especially in the vatican, covered in gold and housing priceless paintings? Is it true even the pope is not a proper Christian ignoring the bible in this way.

Unfortunately being a decent human being without faith will not get you to heaven,according to scripture.

There are far too many people wishing hell away and expecting churches to tolerate sinfulness under the guise of misplaced compassion.

They cannot act in defiance of scripture.

If there is a heaven and it is reserved for the likes of you I'd prefer to take my chances elsewhere.

I don't understand why anyone would care what a fool like Fearon or the child abuse protector organisation he follows think about their sexuality. In fact I for one haven't gone near a church for a decade and still manage to be a decent human without some man in a frock telling me how to be one.

Big question can they win 10 McKenna cups in a row.

I don't even know what that means?
