Talk of Bradley Barcola now. We are light enough up front right now with Darwin, Diaz and obviously no Jota. I would think young Rio will get some games but potentially need Isak and one other

How can you argue with Daniel o'Donnell singing to you on the back of a lorry after a hammering in Croker

Elliot to Leipzig. Another piece of this puzzle

Why is the parade a big deal?

I could have sworn I've seen numerous teams break early before, including Donegal in other games this year, unless I'm imagining things.

Never seen a team break from the parade as it passes Hill 16. They did the sane in the semi-final. It is disrespectful to the band, to the supporters and to the tradition. And for what? To try and play mind games to gain some sort of advantage. Petty in the extreme.

Definitely have seen it many a time. Think my own county did it in the 93 final against cork

£65 mil deal for Diaz to Bayern looking close

Happy enough with that to be honest

That was some stage today.

McGeeney has just stood down     

where are you seeing this

Really struggling to get back at it. Been off the bike for the guts of a year. 10-15 k a struggle atm even to motivate myself to do it

Gutted. The kickouts were probably the difference. Some effort

Just home there today. Whole thing with traffic management was bizarre. there were cars everywhere, cars driving down hunter street where I was at the start, like a constant stream of cars for an hour before the bus came. Everyone was in good spirits and shouting/cheering out the windows. After the bus passed us on hunter street we walked behind it for a bit with a view to getting to the strand. We cut across a back street and towards chapel street, dale street and water street, thousands walking this way. we met quite a few cars just coming the opposite direction beeping horns etc, no idea how or why they got there. As mentioned above there was no obvious closing of the roads, very few cops. We tried to get to the strand via water street but couldn't get within 200 yards of it so we turned and went back to the hotel, probably missed the attack by minutes.

Lime street was brutal, our hotel was beside it, queues winding round the block for hours and hours, trains leaving the station empty. Was the same in 2019, nothing has been learned.

Good win for Paddy the Baddy at the weekend.  He is a character.

As a casual observer, I'm unsure why he hasnt gotten bigger fights.  Is that door now open for him?

He has been fairly shite up to know, poor performances and one or two dodgy decisions. Himself and Molly Mccann seemed to be pushed as they were good characters and marketable. Beating chandler is huge though, I didnt really expect it. id say bigger fights will come now

Daft question, but do they change the location of the holes on the green each round?

yep

do well. It can be won next week

Lowry also going rightly

Rory is flying
