Deccie Meehan 2000.
I'm biased but haven't seen a better goal in a final than that one. Every pass from one corner of the field to the other was close to perfect. As was the finish.
No doubt Darby's is the most famous/important.

The AFL starts tomorrow morning. Some can't stand it, but....the alternative is not there. With the inside mark coming in, could be useful as a forward to watch how their guys move.
Some good sporting Docs off top of my head I can think of you might not have seen -
"Weight of a Nation" - All Black Documentary from 2007 World Cup Exit to 2011 Victory, excellent show.
"ROG" - Ronan O'Gara Documentary, another great show. Although some weren't keen on O'Gara I personally loved him.
"The Wounded Tiger" - On AFL side Richmond Tigers
"Pumping Iron" - It's on Netflix, on Arnie before he made it. Bit cheesy and trashy but somehow interesting none the less.
"Chasing Great" - Story of Ritchie McCaw
"Fittest on Earth" - Another Netflix one, about the Crossfit phenomenon. Some engaging stories even if I don't really get into the craze of the sport.
"Icarus" - Netflix, ended up a great documentary by accident - on Russian doping, give it a go.
Of course all the usual GAA ones
Jimmy's Winning Matches
Marooned
The Laochra Gael series (on TG4 Site - some of them anyway - The Kieran Donaghy one recently was great.)
Crossmaglen - Field of Dreams
Toughest Trade Series

So now they are throwing pregnant women into the at risk category all of a sudden. My wife is 20 weeks and works in a pharmacy and has been dealing with effers fighting over toilet roll nappies and calpol the last week.
Add to that her employer a big chain seems to only be intent on cashing in unlike some others I've heard off
Checked it out for work pregnant women are now officially in the "at risk" category...
can you please provide a link? My wife 36.5wks pregnant with our first.
Unsettling times
It's true I was looking it it for work earlier... Pregnant women are now officially in the "at risk" category
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-guidance-on-social-distancing-and-for-vulnerable-people/guidance-on-social-distancing-for-everyone-in-the-uk-and-protecting-older-people-and-vulnerable-adults
Thanks for that. It doesn't say why they have put pregnancy in that category, but from what I have read elsewhere:
Pregnant women generally have lower immunity
Later stages of pregnancy, lungs can be of reduced capacity to circulate air and more prone to infection
Some evidence that pregnant women are more at risk of similar viruses, eg SARS
Lack of information due to low numbers of case studies leads to conservatism
In short, being in the at-risk case due to lack of information is slightly better than being in the at risk case due to actual reasons (that's what I'm telling myself anyway)
https://www.newscientist.com/article/2237352-coronavirus-what-we-know-so-far-about-risks-to-pregnancy-and-babies/
I think you're right it would seem more of a "well being pregnant puts you at high risk for most things" more so than they have noticed a trend so sounds like nothing to unduly worry about.
I'd still be asking your wife to minimise the risk where possible.
Definitely. We are taking all precautions we can. She's finished work now so that helps.
Don't want the added headache of having Coronavirus (even if it doesn't affect her) and hoping for an isolation room in hospital.
Only place we've been in the last week is supermarket, hospital and work (for me)

I've told all my employees that I'll pay them if they're affected (infected?). I think that is the right thing to do.
Do you require proof? There are chancers everywhere. Here, I feel rotten, I'm away to self isolate for 2 weeks...
No. We're a small enough business (8 employees) and we treat them as grown ups. I'd like to think no one would be like that, in fact I know they wouldn't. So that's how we approach things.

A bad week for Colum Eastwood. First off he failed to live up to his election promise to "Stop Brexit", and now two of his MLA's have been busy making a mockery of his big FF link up.
Claire Hanna, who opposed the FF link up and who shortly afterwards appeared at the Labour Party Conference, and who has in the past been pictured on the canvass trail for Labour, and regularly speaks of her support for Labour, was out canvassing this week for...you guessed it....Neale Richmond and Emer Currie of the blueshirts.
And then we have Pat Catney MLA who has been busy tweeting about his canvassing efforts on behalf of Aodhan O'Riordan of Labour.
Lest we forget that not long after his big FF link up was announced, his former party leader actually stood in the European elections for FG.
Laughable.

I get the "personally" bit but would GAA clubs really get behind them?

Always wise to actually read posts. Anyhow, based on tonight's lucky escape, which counties do you think Derry will beat in Div 3 this year?Quote from: restorepride on January 25, 2020, 07:30:43 PMQuote from: JGDoire on January 25, 2020, 06:11:14 PMNot sure about your wind direction but, yes, we are in big trouble and a return to Division 4 not out of the question. Division 2 hopes probably gone already.
10 mins into second half and we luckily just got a goal to get us into the game. But team selection and tactics have to questioned. Wind behind our backs and we have 14 men behind the ball at home to Leitrim. We are in big trouble for the year ahead. Sweet jaysus.
Lol, one game in and you're writing off the season
We are capable of beating any of the other teams. I'm not saying we will but I'll be disappointed if we don't improve significantly.
Hope so Lenny, though I'm not so sure atm. Leitrim at home was supposed to be a banker. Leitrim played with serious hunger. We lacked in pretty much every area this evening. That performance was a serious leveller.

Martin is going to be on a sticky wicket attacking the Government on their record since 2016 .
He had the Government in the palm of his hand and could have forced them to take action on anything he or FF were "concerned" about.
SF sound like the infamous FF manifesto of 1977 which gave us the massive 1980s recession- increase spending and reduce taxes.
