I'm slightly confused as to the actual ramifications of this ruling. If I run a print shop and someone came in with an order to make a number of posters with a political message I disagreed with,something pro israel for talk sake, would I now have to make them?

You're being very dismissive there stew, it's not about liberalism or republicanism, a few of the comments on here have been lazy and crude. A group of people don't get a bad reputation for nothing?? Why are we yapping over a few drug dealers and thieves getting shot? If the police in this or any other country took someone's life in the same circumstances as happened in Baltimore or ferguson, there would be outrage and rightly so.
     That has nothing to do with political ideologies,it has to do with the right to justice.

I'm shocked at some of the ignorant views posted on here. I must be naive but I always had the idea that as a people we would identify with the underdog or downtrodden due to our history, I was obviously wrong.

We'll have to agree to disagree there I'm afraid. They are a bunch of young lads, who give serious commitment for very little in return. If the management deem it okay for them to have a night out, I certainly couldn't begrudge them it. And what harm will it do them in all honesty, might even prove worthwhile.

I take your point. I just think maybe a few boys on here are riled up that the start of the club season has been postponed and are venting towards the players. If they are out on the beer I wouldn't have a problem with it,they're a crowd of young fellas in London for the weekend. If it's ok by jim, who are we to judge.
    For what it's worth I'd be amazed if the boys in Portugal or New York weren't allowed a night on the beer. Sad state of affairs if you go to New York for a week and can't have a night out no?

Need to wind it in a bit there.they hardly got promoted to division one of the league by going on the sauce every weekend.for all we know it could be one last blow out before a serious period of training for championship.fans don't pay these boys,if you hand over your money to go watch the team,you're getting something in return.always find it nauseating to hear people commenting on a grown man's drinking habits.

Struggled for scores,breaking ball and were outdone in the physical stakes unsurprisingly. On a night like that it really was no surprise we lost against a bigger Meath team.polands black card may have been slightly harsh, though laverty's yellow could easily have been a red.

It's a poster's opinion on how the league will turn out, I wouldn't call it drivel.can't see how it would get anyone worked up.

MR,don't think itchy was having a go at Down,but just replying to DF,using the numbers in Down as an example. And you'd have to say its hard to argue with his logic there. From the posts from Cavan it doesn't seem like these two clubs joined up in an opportunist manner,more that they had to in order to field. If that is the case,and the team happens to be strong,more power to them.(on a tangent,and I'm not trying to wind up cross or burren,but both have taken players from outside their parish boundaries in recent years.) Most of the negative comments re Southern Gaels come across as sour grades if you ask me.

You'd need to seriously re-evaluate that statement pangurban.has had great success with club teams in down,turned kilcoo from down contenders into ulster contenders.
   As for inter county experience,McGrath,o'rourke,carr/DJ and mccartan had none.mccrory does actually have experience,albeit from quite a long time ago.

Don't like to bring it up,but it's a pet hate of mine.when Fionn fitz got his black card for a deliberate trip on andy moran,he ended up in the air and deliberately tried to drop the knees into morans head as he lay on the ground.full credit to Moran for making nothing of it,but it should have been a red and not a black card.

I'm having a debate with a friend over mcfaddens goal, I think it was illegal, he thinks it wasn't. My point being he had it in two hands then passed it from left to right which I don't think you can do, does anyone know the rule?

If you have the ball in your left hand and throw it to your right hand it's a foul,tho rarely given.if you have the ball in your left hand,bring it back into your right hand and both hands are touching the ball,then control it with your right,there is no foul.from only seeing it in real time mcfaddens goal was legal.much like mulligans famous goal which brought up the same debate.
