The thing that stands out for me;

Northern Ireland now has the "tightest labour market of any of the 12 UK regions".

In part that is because it has the lowest percentage of the economically inactive stating they want to work.

A lot of people happy to lie on their asses all day and claim their benefits.

Why would they work? Most of them would be crazy to work given the lifestyles they can currently have doing feck all.

Big issue now is that there's so many games, and high level ones at that, on every week-end.

Used to be 2 games on a Sunday to focus on.  Now it usually 4 or 5 on a Saturday and the same on a Sunday.

The imbalance of a split season I suppose.

Majority of people will have watched the main live games and heard the analysis during those programmes.

Is there a need then for most of the Sunday Game programme to be taken up by those 'live' games.

There is a definitive need for a less formal show which can capture the rest of the games in more detail. What would be wrong with a mid week show, with a chance to explore the big stories of the week, look back and look ahead to games coming up the following weekend?

Powerful programme but don't think anything that wasn't already in the public domain came out of it. Still very important for the family to keep this in the headlines and keep the pressure on.

Wasn't only the cameras on the police station in Toome that weren't working that night, some of the 'locals' in Bellaghy also had mysterious malfunctions.

Horrible times.

Forest a joke, don't think any of those decisions are nailed on pens. Not having either of the first 2, probably need to see the 3rd again.

The whinging after the Liverpool was a farce and thats from a United fan.

Yeah but we have to look back and see who started this current trend of releasing these types of statements. It was they who opened this particular can of worms and now act holier than thou typically.

Clare's level dropped slightly but not by much and Limerick powered through that quarter. Clare did have a couple of bad wides in this period which might just have kept them in the game.

Keeper has been an issue for them for a few years now, but he is obviously the best they have. Great game and the only major problem for those outside of Limerick is that this will bring them on again. Ominous for the others.

I was down yesterday, what a one sided miss match. Biggest disappointment was the work etihic as some players just didn't seem interest. Paddy Burke and Eoin Campbell were the only two even close to the standard. Some good players looked beat before we started.

Gleeson said as much, the players gave up very early on. By all accounts this is Gleesons last year and it seems to be fizzling out

This is what happens with these outside appointments inevitably.

Time to get our own house in order and go with a local and change the approach.

I can't remember a beating as bad as that in a long time. conceding 5-30! only scoring 0-13!! We've great talent in the county - this isn't on the players in my opinion.

team selection is very questionable in that lads who hadn't been involved in any of the S&C from pre-Christmas, hadn't played a part in the league campaign and weren't about the set up until a week or three ago were automatic starters and boys just back from injury were straight in. Smacked of desperation on the management's part.

I really can't see any other Div 1, Leinster C'ship team doing this! its possibly our biggest low in county hurling in the last 6/7 years!

Not hard to spot the agenda here 

This result been on the cards all year and probably won't be the last before the season is done.

I had a pretty positive experience the other day when our wee boy had an incident but in general NHS isn't in good shape. I think if it's a kid you're much better place but the more you read about it the more concerning it really is.

Basically they are running it into the ground to force people to go private. More and more people I know are already going down this route for anything.

Say it quietly around the Reds on here, but if Klopp goes this season without winning the title will his tenure be deemed as an underachievement?

After all they have been the best team in the world since he took over 

Granted they ran into a City team in their prime, but one Covid EPL title seems to be underwhelming.

Unpopular opinion I'm guessing.

It was the pump that heats the water that's fecked!

So at the the boiler there are two pumps one for the rads and the other for heating the water.

If the spindle isn't spinning then the motor isn't working and that was the case, I said can ya fix it? nope, its a throw away world, ya need a new one

The plumber said that the water should still warm up though, it isn't, anyways I've been doing the Wim Hof experience for the last 3 days!

Pretty sure the pump doesn't heat the water 
From my limited plumbing experience.

Rory (as a player) and Tiger (as a non player) meant to be getting ownership of their own LIV team is what I heard.
And going the other way, the top performing LIV players will be allowed to play in some of the PGA signature events.

The PGA players who stayed loyal got royally shafted, any merger or compensation deal will have to involve big money going to these players.

Sad news from Lamh Dhearg, Ryan Straney, senior footballer killed in car accident in Sydney. 96 year old man driving the wrong way up the motorway.

RIP Ryan, a superb young fella.

Every parents with a child abroad worst nightmare.

I am sure the Kevin Bell Trust will be in action again to help the family, they have done so much for people here in their worst moments.

RIP

Speaking of Dele Ali, has there ever been a worse guest on Monday Night Football on Sky, Carragher trying his upmost to involve him asking him questions and setting him up with lines but still couldn't get anything out of him.

Personal highlight was when he was doing the analysis of the Arsenal game and he kept having to ask the score in the game 

I would be hoping he wasn't relying on a media career.

I'd say its grand having a chat with your mates about football, completely different when there's a mic shoved in your face and knowing there would be millions watching lol!

In fairness I think for him he hasn't actually done any research on anything lol.. He'd no idea about certain games and seems as if he doesn't watch that many either.

Jamie is completely clued in and a veteran of doing this, the professionals make it look easy

I'd expect as bare minimum to know the score in the game

Scheffler was so impressive last night. He's so steady and very rarely makes a wrong decision it's hard to see him making too many mistakes.

Bryson was brilliant too apparently he has newly engineered clubs more forgiving for his game that only got approved at the start of the week. They seem to be working.

McIlroy will need a 5/6 under to get into contention and possibly need Scottie to have a mare on the greens!

One mistake on Augusta can lead to a big number and a big swing. He doesn't need to shoot the lights out today, just keep in touch as plenty up players up there.

Scheffler got the best out that round last night and despite Scheffler's form for 2 years, he's only picked up one major. I wouldn't be giving it to him just yet.

Scheffler be hard to beat with his levels of consistency, but if McIlroy can hang in he is more likely to have epic round, if he can remain close enough. Last few he has made a charge on the Sunday but has been too far back.

Shane going to need to pick something up in his second round.
