Fantastic Limerick performance.
But the level of thrown hand passes is now off the charts. And I done care if theres a mm of space that only geniuses can see. When will someone stand up and call this out?
Duignan will never mention the throwing of the ball.
It's gone beyond a joke at this stage

We need VAR in big championship games.  Refs get so many calls wrong it's beyond a joke
Derry weren't given a 45 near the end of the game. Was clear as day the Kerry lad got the boot to it

Joe has been given his orders.

Mc quillan is the  most infuriating referee  I've ever seen .  I'm all for having respect for official s , but by Christ  he makes it so hard  for people to do that.  Those two very soft frees  effectively won Kerry the game . I ain't from Derry but I am absolutely raging . I dunno how Derry folk are feeling

I didn't think either were free kicks and it's amazing how McQuillan is still continuing to get big games at this stage. He must have connections because it's not based on competency. His job is not to make the game a close contest it's to apply the rules.
The o';brien one wasn't a free. He just went so low with his sidestep that he fell

Few very soft frees to Kerry and then the referee missed the closed fist into the ribs for the Clifford turn over
But Derry butchered too many chances

The last flick of the ball to delay the quick free should have been a red card - very dangerous to block someone kicking the ball like that

Classic Tory distraction techniques via the Sun

Look over here, don't report what the Tories have been up to

Another super stage. Tough on Jorgensson but Woods very impressive. Tad took another bite out of Jonah's lead. This is shaping up to be some battle.
Woods' first TDF win. Couldn't believe that when they said it.
Few of our club lads heading over this week to catch a few stages.

Nobody died
The Tour moves on and we won't have to listen to the Cav fanclub for the rest of it

Put the TG4 management in charge of RTE tv stations

They know how to run things on a budget with no overpaid 'stars'

The CFO who doesn't know what his salary is. Like how do these people get jobs? There's a load of people in government and semi state companies who wouldn't be employable in the private sector. Anyone with any competence is working in proper companies. And it's all levels. North and South.

Deloitte have a lot to answer for here. They were at the core of the FAI scandal as well. They're absolute charlatans. Pay them enough and they will turn a blind eye to anything by the looks of it.
As a public sector employee I cannot tell you what my final salary figure is. Honestly. I never even open payslips

Nepotism in rte is huge

How did a talentless beanpole like tubridy end up earning that much money

He's also very well connected in political circles and PR circles which helps

Sons is flying out early in morn from Dublin, saying airports all booked up including Clayton, any tips on what to do? Is there somewhere he cud just park his car and get a taxi?

take the bus, far less hassle

never take your own car to the airport, costs more than your actual flight on fuel and parking
Not always possible due to flight times

Attendances have been shocking across the board of the warmest week of the year.
It's expensive to go to games.
