WTF relevance is a border poll to the Scottish independence vote... It would only be relevant if the 6 counties of the North was running a referendum on independence, which would never happen as Thatcher would be better than those cnuts at Stormont.

The question on the United Ireland is completely different as it not just the decision of people in the 6 counties.

It is

Looking like a comprehensive win for "No"

What makes you say that?

Shinners have lost the plot. This is a fit of petulance because our Jarry was pulled in. I'd be more worried about the growing acceptance by "nationalists" of NI and its place in the union if I was them.

Apples you come out with some s###e,how have you discovered that more nationalists now accept the union and SF are fighting the welfare cuts in the North and fighting austerity in the South on a daily basis.

We are at a low ebb alright. Brendan Crossan may have some valid points but boy does he love having a go at Antrim in his column.

I'm not sure that giving Aidan O'Rourke a blank cheque and a 5 year term was the right answer, he didn't exactly lift Louth to new heights. And in a roundabout way maybe Fitzy is well placed to work with the current crop having looked after the U21s for the last 2 seasons. However we got to where we are Frank and his team deserve support at this stage. We should recall that we had a terrific - if scary - win over Fermanagh and were competitive V Donegal for half a game. Our U21s put in 2 strong performances V Armagh. The raw materials would appear to be there.

But I'm not glossing over anything, a major overhaul is required, there has to be a will to accept that (which isn't there) and it needs resources (they aren't there either it seems.) We are in dark days.

Think you are glossing over it Brendan,when people like big Tyrone can have the final say in who gets the job something badly wrong with CB.Do not always agree with Crossan but think he is spot on this time and you guys need to take a good look at yourselves and those holding back progress should move on.

You don't need to show id if your flying from Belfast to England. All you need is your boarding pass.

Anyone played the both courses at Carton House? Was thinking of booking it soon and not sure if we will get both in so was wondering if there are any recommendations on which one would be better?

I wouldn't be a great golfer but played both and think the O'Meara is a much better course with a nice finish around13-14-15-16 were the water comes into play

Which fundraising plan is that three B`s?

Great news about the residents if true Glens. I hope they did get some satisfaction somewhere, because they did have legitimate concerns it must be admitted.

Looks like I was given wrong information regarding the residents Bannside,Unfortunatley

I can't be the only one who thinks Aidan o rourke has some neck on him going for the senior football manager position and then asking for a blank cheque book for five years to do whatever he felt he needed!
Sure that's a great idea, a blind man on the street could have told you that was a great idea but where was the money going to come from for that, it can't just appear from mid air!
Tbh I think you have to be careful of some of those boys want everything they ask for, it would be great to have another 10 or fifteen coaches up and down the county in the schools, but 12grand a pop where do we start the fundraising for 150,000 pound EVERY YEAR. croke park can do a bit, but it's a cop out to say we shouldn't bee doing most of it ourselves

Think we need to have a wee bit of ambition.

Best of luck to Frankie.

As an outsider who is this Fitzsimmons guy? Good track record?

The cheapest option they could get.

Glad to see the Baker go but reading today's article in Irish News as to why they don't want O'Rourke shows again the lack of ambition from the County Board.More years in the wilderness.
