We were poor on the day, only played well for 20 minutes, can't defend for nuts, conceded 1-3 to 0-0 last 8 or 9 minutes.
Happy now?
Now what has that got to do with the Hurley Final?
Was a good contest, better team won.
Now fir the real All Ireland Final

"Hurley" final?
How dumb are you?

Dublin will get 1 or 2 good years with Davy before it all implodes. It's worth a gamble because they aren't progressing.

A great game in many ways but players are flicking the ball over the bar effortlessly from 100 yards out. It's getting like basketball and a score barely registers with the crowd until the last 10 minutes of a tight game.

Were Armagh not doing it deliberately the other night to time waste?

Pat Hickey wouldn't have many takers for buying tickets this time around.

My hunch is that Dessie Farrell is not at the same level as Jim Gavin and Pat Gilroy were and this will eventually cause Dublin to get caught.

Tipp threw everything they had at Limerick and were still dismissed like school boys.
What hope does anyone else have?

Lohan has the last laugh. I can't see a queue of counties wanting to take on Davy Fitz and the circus that goes with him.

Surely the bookies favourite....
But we have to accept this or else we're transphobes.

I'm sure Hartlepool has had an MP in some shape or form for a lifetime but this constituency is only on the go since the 1970s.

They would have lost seat in the last election only the Brexit party refused to stand aside as they thought they'd a real chance, they did but split the vote and Labour got returned. The result is not unexpected no matter what the Tory press say, but it is a sad indictment of  the state (& perhaps decline) of the Labour Party and the continued rise of English Nationalism under the Tories. 

The continual bickering with the EU is a Tory tactic too, it keeps that Brexity conflict flame flickering.

Labour are effectively a centre right party now with a millionaire Sir as the leader.

Not much appeal there for working class voters, they are now just effectively Diet Tories under the leadership of Starmer.

Starmer's background is as working class as they come - father being a toolmaker. Worked hard and made a success of himself, an example to anyone from his upbringing. No comparison between he and the gilded, entitled, public-school attending Tory elite. Whatever his shortcomings are as a party leader, he comes across as a decent, conscientious politician, unlike the incompetent and mendacious charlatans now populating the Tories since BJ shunted the calm and level-headed Remainers from the party.

I too think he's decent and conscientious but he does seem a bit airy fairy on some topics and whilst he cuts Boris a new arsehole every PM's Questions he doesn't instill a fighting spirit within the party and evidently appeal to the working class masses.

The Pro Boris media treat him like the grey man that used to be the moniker of John Major.

Starmer was bought  by the Israeli lobby. The last thing Israel wants is a left wing Government.
Starmer was also bought by the plutocrats. The last thing they want is a left wing Government.

But it is inevitable.

Inevitable?
A left wing government in Britain looks a million miles away right now.
Apart from Blair's New Labour, the party has been in the wilderness for most of the past 50 years.

Too many working class British people lap up the Tory propaganda from The Sun and other places.

Labour have morphed into an urban, ultra-woke party and will continue to lose the support of blue collar voters.

As a GAA follower of Rugby why can the national team not match the performances of the provinces?

The trouble is there are only four provinces and right now only one of them is up to scratch.

I always laugh when I hear Manchester United fans talking about the United Way and getting Manchester United to 'where they belong'.
There is no United Way, it's a myth. What there was though was a Fergie Way.
Where United are now, and I don't just mean their current league position, where United are now as a club is exactly where they have been for the vast majority of their history.
That is, not winning leagues and maybe competing for one every now and then and winning the odd domestic trophy.
Before Ferguson came along this is what Manchester United were, it was the norm,and that's what they have reverted back to since he went.
So there is no United way, there is no getting Manchester United back to 'where they belong' Manchester United are now exactly where they have been for much of their history.
Winning league titles is an anomaly for Manchester United not the norm. It's an anomaly that happened for a very brief period in their 140 year history.
The Fergie way was very real, the United way is a myth.

I'm guessing you have never heard of Matt Busby?

On this day, 50 years ago we had the introduction of the decimal money and the thruppeny bit and six pence passed into history.

My own father was still thinking and talking in shillings a couple of decades after.
