New Zealand is depressing. Rains all the time and huge social problems in the cities.
Ireland is certainly one of the best places to live imo.

Until the best players in the county are prepared to commit to what's required at inter county level it won't matter who you appoint. There's no point appointing an outsider just because they are an outsider. They have to bring something useful to the job. Now that they have advertised it will be interesting to see who comes forward. I hate to sound depressed but I don't have high hopes of a quality field.

Colonel Cool was the only one who went for Ballycran to win the SHC. Fair play to him. I'd say he has a sore head this morning.

Thanks

My MLAs Cool?

Well we all know you take you orders from Connolly House. Never an original thought! So just where were all the SF MLAs during the troubles when FF were doing the hard work of building the Irish economy? Cathroina Ruane was playing tennis before was parachuted into South Down. Where was Mickey Brady? Michelle O'Neill?

Maybe economic policy is going to be important going forward to make a united Ireland really happen, rather than "what did you do during the Troubles?". That may be why SF are bringing in some candidates without a military background.

SF will be asking the other 'Republican Party' where they were during the war.

You could start by asking some of your MLAs the same question Donagh! Who do you think you're kidding? 

I couldn't find anything other than Sun like headlines. Can you post POG?

Certainly interesting.

Well done to Bredagh on winning the Junior Hurling. Hopefully they can do well in Ulster.
Both Bredagh and Warrenpoint have been putting it up to the Ards clubs in juvenile hurling for the past 2 or 3 years. It's the result of hard work put in coaching kids 5 or 6 years ago and both clubs are still at it. Keep up the hard work lads and you get what you work for.

I hear Ned Morgan will be ref for the Senior final! 

[SHC Semi Final Result]

SHC Semi Final Result
Ballygalget 0-16 0-11 Portaferry
A poor enough game that lacked the intensity of recent championship matches between these two. Gramham Clarke dislocated his should after 6/7 minutes and had to go off. I must say the reaction of a small section of the Portaferry support was a disgrace. The rivalry between Portaferry and Ballygalget is getting way out of hand.
Playing with a strong breeze Ballygalget went in 10-7 up and I have to say I didn't think they had done enough. In the second half Portaferry never got going at all where as Galgets lifted there game. Ports were missing easy frees and Ballgalget took every opportunity with Magic, Paddy rat and Johnny Boon picking off points. The game was over with 10 minutes left when a 21 yd free was saved by the Ballygalget defence.
Altogether it was a disappointing game for the large crowd but Ballygalget won't worry about that.

I tend to take people at face value. If he walks like a duck and quacks he's probably from South Armagh.

No reason that I can see for banning the young lad. He's innocent enough and funny a lot of the time.

Good luck to the South Down team from the boys on the Ards.

Got word for Great Blasket atThe  Maze. EW prospect apparently.

25/1 in Eastwoods. I'll have a small investment.

There was a poll of funeral homes carried out in England and they reckon this is the top 10:

1. Wind Beneath My Wings - Bette Midler

2. My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion

3. I Will Always Love You - Dolly Parton/Whitney Houston

4. The Best - Tina Turner

5. Angels - Robbie Williams

6. You'll Never Walk Alone - Gerry And The Pacemakers

7. Candle In The Wind - Elton John

8. Unchained Melody - Righteous Brothers

9. Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon And Garfunkel
