To be fair, I think you have to give credit to Captain Obvious. He's been doing sterling work there in the back ground, getting into the players heads over the last few weeks. Was only a matter of time before he got them to crack.

But equally most would refrain from calling them freaks. There's people from both sides on this board and all levels in between.Quote from: Armagh18 on April 14, 2024, 09:41:01 AMI certainly don't view trans people as freaks. Trans rights shouldn't trump womens' rights tho (& their right to feel safe in women only areas), that seemed to be the road it was hurtling down for a long time. A section of the trans movement appear to not want to assimilate into society either. I don't care if they want to assimilate or not but I don't think society should have to put up with some of their outrageous nonsense either. They should have equality in society, they should also respect others in society.Quote from: bennydorano on April 14, 2024, 07:46:17 AMHas there been a bit of a sea change in general opinion? Seems to be a bit of common sense entering the debates - previously dismissed or shut down debates imo.The average person has common sense with these freaks. But they get called out for it so are afraid to say much.
Quote from: J70 on April 12, 2024, 12:52:30 PMWould 0-3 down at half time do you? Vague recollection of a game that went that way...Quote from: Milltown Row2 on April 12, 2024, 09:24:53 AMSalah for whatever reasons is not at the races, that's a fair reflection no?
Could hit a hatful at the weekend. Think Klopp said he didnt think Atalanta were going to be as good? with the title run in he has to rotate, Atalanta not in same position back in Italy so they flogged their players last night. Think they made one change on 88 minutes or something
I'd be an advocate of putting out my strongest team, put the home leg to bed and move on with a lesser tea the next day. Thats probably why I'm not a PL manager
It's tempting to think that Liverpool COULD turn the tie around, but I'm sure the bookies would give you at least 10/1. Has it ever been done heading away in the second leg?
Still, I think Klopp has to at least try. They're not heading to the Bernebeau like last year. Atalanta were superb, but Liverpool were plainly not ready for what they brought. If they do go there properly prepared and up for it, you never know what could happen if they grab the first goal.
Of course, Liverpool have a habit of NOT grabbing the first goal this season!
Quote from: snoopdog on April 10, 2024, 01:00:16 PMThe Club use MFC. I got a superb fleece of them. Really warm. I find the playing gear for the kids isn't great though. And thry don't seem to put GAA on them??.They're not registered. Think they can't put the gaa logo on stuff.
Quote from: bennydorano on April 10, 2024, 09:03:21 AMTo me Tyrone look like a team with no thought out plans/structure, talent alone gets them through some games, that's why they blow so hot & cold imo. Could take Derry on a hot day and get embarrassed on a bad day whereas Donegal & Armagh will keep it tight v Derry through defensive structures. I'm fed up with Armagh's style of play tho, so I'm not advocating it.Very true. Having Canavan in the form he's been gives them an edge. If he can maintain that and Donnelly, McCurry, Canavan Jr, Meyler can come back to some sort of form then they've got a chance against most.

Only 2 of the big 3 of Derry, Donegal and Armagh are going to make the Ulster final.
There'll be a kick in Tyrone yet and Cavan will fear no one with the way they played at the weekend.
what exactly have tyrone shown for you to day there will be a kick from them
Quote from: tbrick18 on April 05, 2024, 10:29:24 AMQuote from: clonadmad on April 04, 2024, 03:48:39 PMHaving read through the 11 pages of the actual report,it would be handed back to an Economics Undergraduate and He/She would be told to consider another career route
The Authors base their case for starters on an assumption that they know the amount of UK subvention into NI every Year,which is news to anyone versed in these matters as the UK government has never stated an exact total or given an exact breakdown
They then assume that a UI would need to match the current NI contribution to a UK defence Budget,(no thanks Lads,We wont be paying for Trident or Aircraft Carriers)or continue to pay a pro rata portion of UK Debt AFTER NI had left the UK or that the UK would reneage on pension contributions by NI workers paid into the UK pension pot when NI was part of the Uk.
Those 3 areas alone come to anywhere between £5 and £7 bn per annum.
it also assumes that growth rates and productivity are stuck to the floor over the next 20 years, takes no account of the savings or synergy brought about by an All Island Economy and takes no account of inputs from the likes of the EU or FDI going into the 6 counties at 26 counties levels.
This is the type of scrutiny that should be published in the media, but it doesn't make a good headline.
I know for a fact, there are quite a few large multi-national's investing in setting up offices and expanding existing operations in NI as a direct result of Brexit and the finalising of the Windsor agreement. An NI business in Finance/Captial Markets and IT has access to GB and EU markets whilst taking advantage of generally lower salaries and operating costs than in GB and ROI. We're talking high value jobs being created here and the impact of those jobs on the NI economy remain to be seen.
But I don't hear anyone in the media talking about that.
Quote from: weareros on April 04, 2024, 12:55:55 PMEveryone wants a plan from Dublin for a UI but the biggest problem is the North has 225,000 public sector employees and 590,009 private sector while the South has 370,000 public sector and 2.3m private sector. This is not even addressing the high economic inactivity rate in North at 25%. The unemployment rate is however only 2% (a great example of joke statistics).The economic inactive includes students and retired people. Neither of which should be included. That's the problem with statistics.
So well over 100,000 public sector employees in North will have to lose jobs and find a job in the private sector. Where? That will have to be in the first paragraph of Dublin's plan but no one wants to read that and there's no political will in North or GB to solve that problem.
On the plus side, the South will have a €100bn sovereign wealth fund by 2035 and the Yanks might throw in a few bob to help a smooth transition.

Not other people. Other people might post about all the reasons that affect health waiting lists as well as the impact of immigration. However if they ignore all other reasons and solely focus on immigration as the cause then I'd tend to think they're a bit xenophobic as well.
Are you saying that I'm xenophobic for even posting about it?
(Even though my position is in line with 59% of people polled by the Irish times)
I leave it here:
Do people have legitimate reasons (not fueled by Xenophoba or Racism) to be angry about how the government has handled this crisis?
Hope that's clear.
So what you're saying is that people can have legitimate concerns about immigration policies-that aren't based on racism or xenophobia
(But me posting about them is racist/xenophobic because I don't post about other things)
Interesting!
I don't really want to explain it for the 3rd time. Especially as we both know that you understand exactly what I'm saying.
Its the oldest trick in the book
Suppress dissenting points of view by accusing people of being racist
