Western standards laid bare for all to see:

I'm not sure the term "Western" is appropriate, every west European country and Canada, Australia and New Zealand support the ICC.

The USA don't.

How do you square the fact that since old Genocide Joe came into Power the world has seen two new major conflicts in which he is stuck in the middle of?

Don't get me wrong, I think Trump is a total piece of shit and not fit to hold any office. I just think Biden is also a piece of shit and I take great offence that he tries to draw a link to Ireland as if he is some part of us.

Was Biden responsible for the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Hamas attack on October 7?

Watched the first 2 of Imposter: Back from the dead last night on Channel 4. Honestly don't know what to make of it and I am almost proud of myself for not Googling.

It's a mad set-up either way. Last two eps on tonight.

Who is Arthur Knight? A bookish nice guy just woken up from a coma? Or Nicholas Rossi in disguise - a sexually aggressive narcissist and one of America's most wanted? Part of True Crime on Channel 4.
In 2021, Arthur Knight awoke from a Covid coma surrounded by police claiming Knight was actually Nicholas Rossi, one of America's most wanted. What happened next?

It's probably best to revive this as I do think it stands here.

Doireann and the 2 Johnnies both finishing up in 2fm at the end of the month. I do think it traces back to all the other stuff and cutting out all the ads and freebies. The bauld Doireann is getting married too, so she will want to cash in.

The other lads were probably under pressure to stop the other things like live shows and all that. To be honest 2fm should get the bullet.

Meanwhile everyone sits and waits while we wait to see what sweeping changes are coming up.

Antrim / Re: Antrim Hurling

Yes, they are competing very well. Shouldve been in place years ago

But failing to field in the reserve league as a result.

Hence my reference to everyone working together to get a joined up solution.

Loughgiel are probably the best blessed numbers wise. They have entered Div 2 as a result of limited games in res leagues over the years with (im guessing) other teams letting them down. The stronger reserve teams should play all county leagues in my opinion. The weaker play in the divisional leagues, north and south antrim and scrap these Reserve leagues

Don't disagree with your reasoning.

But then you get into a debate about whether they should play their D2 fixtures or their reserve fixtures when there is a clash and this results in other teams being let down.

I think a collective approach is required to sort this issue out.

Its probably a fixtures issue more than anything. ACHL on a sunday and reserve games on a monday. Do they need to be in both? Possibly not but then that affects the rest, lower number of teams if they dont enter. They also play NAJHL mainly on a thursday night

At the same time not too many teams can maybe get 20 lads out on a Sunday at the same time and different venues so Monday night only option for them. I dont think there is a right answer to be honest

Come on guys, you can't leave us hanging like that

Spill the beans

All I've heard is that players were given the option to stay on for a few days for a holiday, some did and one player was "assaulted". Have no more detail than that and take it with a pinch of salt, maybe some of the Derry men can give us more detail.

It's degree lads. The Republicans want to give carte blanche to Israel. They're going mad at Biden for even pausing the shipments of 2000 lb bombs, with the House officially "rebuking" him recently. They're on tv arguing that the Gazan civilians are fair game because they elected and support Hamas. You think it's bad for the Palestinians now? Just wait till Trump wins and the GOP take back the Senate this autumn.

I know of Republicans who wouldn't care if every single resident of Gaza was killed

Their logic is that the Palestinians voted in Hamas, so they now need to live with the consequences

You don't think their are democrats that think that too?

No I don't

If there are, that would be a very peripheral group....whereas for republicans it's the default position

Henderson should be nowhere near it at this stage tbh. Surprised Sancho didn't at least make the 33 man squad.

Shaw included but knowing him he's about 3 stone overweight after being out for so long so he'll probably be cut.
