Meath aren't getting physical enough with Dublin here, standing off them, poor considering this ref is favouring defenders.

Well unless you're holding back on signing with a tour, I think you are ok and you probably don't need to alert Portugal that you're on your way!

Well when I do sign and when I win the fedex I'll invite you over to celebrate the $18,000,000 win rather than having a wee glass of wine in the locker room on my own.

Anyone watch Full Swing on Netflix?

I'm not really spoiling it much by saying that there is no truer saying in life than money doesn't buy happiness.

Golf is an individual sport but for me the last clip from the last episode (cleverly set up by Netflix I reckon) is poignant.

I much prefer to be hacking around at the weekend and having a few trips to Portugal on the beer every year than becoming one of those rich  lifeless robots.

Maybe in time we will have smart socks that measure the steps and message the ref automatically to his ear piece

Roscommon were poor,  but probably should have won it. Keeper had a shocker for kick outs, worth at least 3 points to Mayo,we handed them a goal. Referee bought all the usual cynicism from Mayo, he was awful.
The only time he should be let near a whistle again, is when he goes to a rave.

You must be on E tabs yourself

Conor Cox should be on a soccer field. Thank Christ the ref didn't fall for it. What was the hop ball for below in the corner? I think that passage of play led to the second Roscommon goal...

The subs weakened us and strengthened the Rossies. McStay better figure out a way to avoid a league final.

I understand why it's a bone of contention but why is this a forbidden discussion amongst mayo fans? I raised the question with privately and got shot down in the same manner.

Why does it keep happening to mayo? Or why doesn't it happen to Kerry or Dublin?

On 67 minutes reape is brought up and kicks a score to put us 5 up. It being from a free, surely there is no better signal to say no is the time to do everything to slow the game down - that's fall over with any contact, foul around the middle, take ages on our own frees, retain possession over taking on needless shots, put 15 men behind the ball. It just doesn't seem to be the mayo way and it feels like something we just can't seem to learn.

It's clearly not a forbidden discussion with yourself and your alias's so you can work away and argue away with yourself once you've your homework finished for Mammy

R.I.P,

very sad news, everything already said here is also echoed by myself,

Sound thanks

Is that place Keegans good for grub lads?

Not much "analysis" of the games really.

Here's another one. Able bodied men "fleeing" Georgia for asylum here.

Anyhow, the narrative is starting to change but it's still difficult to comprehend that when 90% of the population believe the present system is wrong and when 90% are against government policy that not one senior elected representative (some local councillors have tried) have put their head above the parapet and spoken out for change or some improvement.

Is this tweet from a fake far right wing account?

Genuine question, if you're Walsh, as great as it would be to win a county championship of any sort, never mind a provincial and and all ireland, would it not feel seriously hollow winning it with lads you barely even know in comparison with lads you grew up with?

I could never play for another club like he's done.

Agree to this to a certain extent.

Maybe if the lad was in the area for a few years then somewhat acceptable, for example, Bundie Aki does appear to be genuinely proud to be Irish now.

I've no problem with countries taking in refugees in a controlled fashion. In fact most things in life ought to be carried out with some sort of control and strategic plan, be it business, sport or government.

This government, including the EU have zero control or plan in place for the refugee influx. The government were also out of control during the covid "crisis" and are persistently out of control on the housing and health sectors.

There was a time during the ahern, haughey and Reynolds eras when we had very clever civil servants and advisors, I'm sure clever civil servants are still around but appear to be gagged, SIPO is a prime example of government fudge.

All I have heard all week is that we are entering a "crisis" now that most asylum hotels won't be renewing contracts due to the pending tourist season. One top guy for a charity organisation  on the radio yesterday suggested we convert industrial units into provision centres, so moving refugees into industrial estates is his solution? That's some integration  policy isn't it?

This issue started almost a year ago now. Of the 70k asylum seekers you would think that a good percentage of the able bodied men are capable of building things? Why wasn't this looked into over the last year and some sort of self build accommodation thought out?

I work in the construction industry and when companies go headlong into jobs without a thought out plan well in advance of commencement then 9 out of 10 times they end up bust. The immigration model is well bust in my opinion.

One last thing on this, sanctimonious shit aside, the radio silence from the Catholic Church is interesting. I don't have exact numbers but I believe we have about 2500 catholic priests in the country and just over 1000 parishes. Again I can't verify if this equates to 1000 fully habitable rectorys (many of which are fairy large in size, particularly in large and salubrious city surburbs). Assuming we have 700 or 800 priest homes along with adjacent lands wouldn't that level of readily available accommodation allow for an easy and quick solution (in part) plus it would lend itself to a fair and equal share where we are "all in this together" so to speak, where a better level of integration will be availed of and all communities in the land will be chipping in.  I'm sure the existing priests can downsize elsewhere within their communities. 

Some of our resident Protestants might have the numbers on their available accommodation also. ...
