I also think that any GAA club (or Pitch) named after current of former members of the IRA should be renamed as a token of goodwill toward our neighbors on the other side of the divide

Jesus Christ.

Whatever about the response of HQ, the response of local grassroots gaa has been tremendous. Cancelled training before the order, meetings cancelled, lottos cancelled. Offers to the communities vulnerable to help get shopping etc. The grassroots are the glue that holds society together.

Absolutely great to see. Makes you proud to be part of the GAA. One big family at the end of the day.

Lads f**k a-levels, f**k gcse's f**k Paddys day and all the rest. Need to cop on and get schools closed. Education will still be there in a year when this virus is gone. Every major sporting event in the world is off and pubs are closed on the busiest few days of the year, costing billions.

There's plenty more money in the world, theres plenty of time for studying and there's plenty of time for sport. None of it matters without your health and if stopping everything is what it takes to save lives then thats what needs to happen.

Where in the town sells tickets anyone ?

Unfortunately nowhere in Armagh does, maddog. Newry or O'Neills in Belfast - otherwise it is online.

Newry is in Armagh sure

Shouldn't be showing the row on tv... and match shouldn't be played on a night like that, no benefit to anyone.

What are RTE going to show now instead?

Mr Cullinane TD for Waterford allegedly singing "Up the Ra" in some Pub in Waterford.
Why do they continue to use the Tricolour as a weapon and as if the rest of us were Unionists?

This shows a profound lack of judgement, apart from anything else.
Singing James Connolly or even Kevin Barry would provide a good night and not bring attention to yourself.

Yeah because as has been proven, the good "old IRA" never killed anyone....

Armagh - Decent team, defensively short of 2/3 good defenders, that and one good midfielder and Armagh would be hard to beat but they dont have them so...
Cavan - Not sure what to expect, lost some quality but on their day can give most teams their fill of it (def in Brefni)
Clare - I'll expect them to struggle
Fermanagh - I'll expect them to struggle and battle it out with Laois)
Kildare - Should be pushing for promotion
Laois - Hopefully drop back down but are strong at home and should go the the wire
Roscommon - Should win the league
Westmeath - Struggle

Truth be told, the teams are hard to predict. A good start is essential and all teams are capable of beating each other so pretty much a guessing game until 2 or 3 matches are over

Armagh don't have one good midfielder they've 4 arguably 5. Desperately need some defenders though and to bubble wrap Donaghy for the year.

It doesn't have to be a mid-point to be an acceptable venue though. Just as long as it's not a ridiculous trek.
6 of the 9 counties are within an hours drive from Belfast. I don't think that's an unacceptable journey to a game especially to play or spectate in a state of the art stadium.

Which 6 counties?

Crossmaglen, Teemore, Trillick, Steelstown, Attical are they within an hour?

Cross certainly is...

St Mary's has a lot to answer for regarding the teachers in the current education system. They are unwilling to share or integrate at all. It's has a very conservative Irish ethos.
Integrated Education is a brilliant idea. Unfortunately it's being implemented by people used to segregation and getting their own way, who then see everything as a concession.

So we should now apologise for being too Irish. Ffs

"Duped".

You should sit down and ponder what you're saying here, which is basically that anyone who doesn't vote like you is incapable of rational thought.

Which, frankly, makes you a bell-end.

Rational thinking and voting Tory? Two polar opposites.

[Mary Lou and Michelle out, Pearse and John in if we want to get anywhere.]

Eastwood's pledge was "he'll stop Brexit", if elected.

That was on the assumption of a hung parliament.

Pearse Doherty the best of the T.D.'s.  Doing great works on the mortgage crisis/banks and only this week, super work on car insurance.

Agreed. An underrated character. The likes of him and Máirtín Ó Muilleoir are excellent leadership material.

Michelle should be moved off centre stage, communication is everything and unfortunately she struggles in that regard imo.  When watching JF's victory speech it came to mind there is a future leader of Republicanism .... smart, articulate and very likeable.

Yeah think he's going to go to the top. Excellent politician.

Hanna and Eastwood will be articulate MPs who will explain the nationalist position in London very well.  All necessary to keep progressing towards a New Ireland.  In contrast, what is the point of MPs like Micky Brady and Francie Molloy.  I literally couldn't tell you what they do from one week to the next.

Don't know Francie but Mickey a superb representative couldn't do enough for you.

British people really are idiots. Imagine even considering voting for the party that has completely fucked your country for the last 10 years and will sell the nhs to Trump and his buddies.

Needs to be a UI within the next 3 years. Scotland to go within 2.
