Tyrone probably the closest team to Dublin at this stage , might be as well off showing nothing in this game and hope Donegal knock a few lumps out of dubs in semi final .

Is that geographically speaking?

Paying defensive against Dublin basically a admission they got better team and players.

Playing defensively against dublin is a sign these days that  the opposition team is already beaten before they start and only want to keep the score down. Cork showed that to beat dublin you need to take them on, but didnt have the fitness to keep with then for last 15 min

Donegal have finally ditched their ultra defensive tactics and have shown only themselves and Kerry so far this year look capable of beating dublin.
What?
Cork showed how to beat Dublin... they lost heavily.
Kerry & Donegal have showed fcuk all in relation to Dublin.

Tyrone have showed fcuk all in relation to anybody, beat Derry and Antrim in Ulster two division 4 teams - hammered out the park by Donegal, and then Longford, Kildare and Cavan, Dublin will beat them with their bench.

Hammered out the park.... by 4 points!!  ::)

Yip totally hammered out of the park, did you see the game - they were outclassed all over the field.

I was indeed, still only 4 points in it  :P

4 point hammering.  8)

I would imagine SFs view is to let the clowns self destruct as much as possible hopefully leading to Scottish Independence and a majority in the North wanting to get away from nut job England/Wales.

Whilst 100,000+ lose their jobs on the island of ireland - I voted Sinn Fein in every election since the late 90's bar this year and will never vote for them again, they are letting their people down time and time again, shameful.


I think you have to think what's less painful... a few years of hardship before getting up to speed with the republic, or living the rest of your life under the economic/social abomination that is partition.

So are you happy enough to lose your job, possibly your home have all that stress and turmoil on you and your family's doorstep because elected politicians refuse to take their seats in any elected office but still get paid - genuine question would you take that hit and all that comes with it?

Am I really going to lose my job and home because Francie Molloy doesn't enter the house of commons? Really??

Are you a political - that was some swerve from the question - ill break it down, because a no-deal is a real possibility and because it could pass with a few votes in House Of Commons over 100,000 people on the island of Ireland could lose there jobs - my question again to you.

Are you happy for Sinn Fein to not attempt to stop a no-deal and you lose your job as a result, or are you in a position where a no-deal won't affect your job so you are happy for everyone else to suffer for years to maybe get a United Ireland?

Of course I'm not happy. I'd far rather a united Ireland without any bumps and everyone well off. Partition is an absolute abomination and has done nothing for anyone besides big house unionism. It is a plague on this island.

I'm paid 50% less than people half an hour down the road doing the exact same job because of partition. It's b0llocks and I'm sick of it. Yes, I'm afraid of the economic implications of Brexit, but im far more worried about the status quo carrying on for the next 50 years.

I work over an hour from my home!  So to be clear you are happy for 100,000+ people to lose their jobs including yourself, and all the implications that brings to families and communities.  If brexit has taught us anything it is you can't just cut ties from decades and decades of alignment, a United Ireland is an amazing goal, but it has to be managed and a no-deal is not the way to do it, the Shinners need to step up, Gerry Adams said the IRA haven't gone away you know - looking at the media, at elected establishments etc it looks like Sinn Fein have gone away and been away for years!

SF's MPs could make a difference in HC but I think the PM has already decided that, in the event of Parliament trying to block the Govt, he's happy enough to suffer a vote of no confidence and thus call an election (despite what he said yesterday).   I'd wager that he'd win that election.

I agree - the brexiteers are like the Orangemen on the 12th, well organised and will do a pact with Farage, the remainers are like Nationalists parading on St Patricks day all over the place and like SDLP and Sinners won't do a pact, Liberals and Labour also won't so Tories will have a 40+ seat majority in any election!

Shinners may have been able to sell return to Dail and that farce up on hill to their voters, but taking oath to queen in London would seriously hit their support and dissidents would be rubbing their hands. Besides, anybody who thinks their votes would make blind bit of difference is deluded. It's not going to happen, no matter how many times that excuse of a politician micheal martin whines on about it.

Indicative vote results

C) Customs union (Ken Clarke)
AYES: 273   NOES: 276
D) "Common market 2.0" (Nick Boles)
AYES: 261   NOES: 282
E) Second Referendum (Peter Kyle)
AYES: 280   NOES: 292
G) Parliamentary supremacy (Joanna Cherry)
AYES: 191   NOES: 292

No-deal could pass by 3 or 4 votes - Sinners at this moment in time represent no one who voted for them in any election, shameful!

If everyone contributed to Ireland what JP has then the place would be a hellva lot better off.

I agree, therefore I will stop paying the mandatory 40% tax, instead I will give 1-2 % back to charity.

Oh and make sure you claim the VAT back on any donation, sure he's a great man!

Tyrone posters might remember Clithero refereeing. In underage matches, if someone was soloing the ball near a tackler or was in danger of overcarrying he used to count 1,2,3,4.. out loud. Actually worked well enough.

Did he also do a ten count when they dived.  :)

It really is bonkers at the moment Tories with DUP have about a 2 seat majority, surely a no-deal brexit will hit the island of Ireland hardest, in such a catastrophic outcome for this island why won't the sinners take their 7 seats.  In my humble opinion I believe Sinn Fein want a no-deal so they can push for a border poll, in such a scenario they are no better than all the other parties who are putting self-interest above the interest of the people.  Tories just want to pursue a no-deal now and deliver on an ideology , Corbyn is a brexiteer who's party are mostly remainers, SNP just want a second independence referendum, liberals especially under their new leader believe (wrongly) they will get all remain voters in another General Election, and the DUP simply want to hang on to the coat tails of England. 

With the numbers as they are a General Election is a certainty before Christmas, Farage and Johnson will do a pact and hoover up seats all over England, Labour and the Liberals refuse to do a pact and hence will get hammered, and every nationalist in the North knowing they are as well pissing in the wind will follow tribal policies and vote Sinn Fein to have no voice in the only parliament that matters to us as Stormount is not returning in the foreseeable future - it is depressing stuff, my 16 year old son asked why if Brexit is so important will our MP not go and debate and vote in Parliament and more importantly why do we keep voting for them - I struggled to answer him.

EDIT: And yes I know about abstentionism and their mandate to abstain, and am old enough to have been beat of roads to let Orangemen walk through my area, but specifically a no-deal brexit could be won on a vote or two and in such a scenario we could be all up the river without a paddle.

General discussion / Cortisone Injection
July 25, 2019, 05:25:35 PM
Looking for some optimism I suppose - I hurt my shoulder last year, went to doctors in new year, given anti-inflammatory tablets - did nothing, went back said I needed an ultrasound but in meantime physio could help. Have private health so did 6 physio sessions to no avail - physio said needed an Cortisone injection, saw consultant (who literally just agreed with physio but needed his referral for injection).  Got ultrasound guided steroid injection start of April and continued 2 weeks later with physio - after another 8 session nothing changed - recommended second injection, went through same procedure got second ultrasound guided steroid injection start of July and my arm appears to have got worse since, first time nothing changed no relief no additional pain, this one pain increased for few days then settled.  Due to see physio again next week, don't want to get another injection - not sure they doing anything.  Has anyone ever had one of these injections before - did they work and if so how long was it before you saw some results.  I have had this since Christmas!
