On my Windows 11 machine, this is the background today. Is Microsoft supporting Kerry or Donegal?

Whatever about Sounds of the 70s, it is clearly an anti-GFA measure by the BBC to restrict NI news, podcasts etc. And totally unnecessary.

Live programmes you can probably still get on another app that sticks in ad beforehand.
The BBC used to be pretty good at closing out VPNs. One way that would likely work is a UK data sim in roaming mode.

Larne and Carrickfergus  should be GAA strongholds then though

And Lurgan  has become an island. I'm sure there's a  joke there somewhere but can't  think of one right now

As coastal places, Larne and Carrickfergus will be inhabited by fishes and even the biggest bonfires will not burn.

If anyone bet on that spread then they'd have a handsome payout.

I'm not sure where to put this American view from the New York Times

Quote from: DaleCooper on July 18, 2025, 10:04:34 PMYup the focus on Clifford takes the shine off the supporting cast.

Its a great Kerry team and but for a few hiccups could easily be on hunt for 4th Sam as a group.

Of course, if the other team puts two much attention on one player than others can have their day. In one Armagh final, Crossmaglen won by a large margin although Jamie Clark only scored 2 or 3, but he assisted in another dozen scores and all the attention on him meant that less famous players could make hay.

It looks like Kerry and Donegal will still be there, as will Tyrone. Armagh will have mostly south Armagh players. Wicklow may do better than Meath. Galway, Mayo and Louth might not be great. Cork and Tipp can still play in the hurling, Limerick may well fall back.

Quote from: DaleCooper on July 16, 2025, 11:16:14 PMMental taking kids to Egypt but people want to follow trends or to brag.

I certainly wouldn't go to Egypt at this time of year, its 43C FFS.

Quote from: Last Man on July 16, 2025, 11:54:40 AMPlenty of us are able to laugh off the bigots on " our side" and it only takes a few to stir the shite.

So what are the examples of this type of thing in the opposite direction?

Quote from: Brendan on July 15, 2025, 10:35:18 PMIf the kids revoked their GAA membership could they attend or are they still too taigy?

Of course not, some of them are probably called things like Jarlath or Oisin.

Amazing that it is 38 years since an Irish man wore yellow.
Whatever happened Sam Bennett, who was  Sean Kelly's protégé?

Quote from: marty34 on July 14, 2025, 07:05:47 AMI suppose Meath, Tyrone and Derry will be bursting to get out of Div. 2 next season. One will lose out you'd think. 

At a guess, I would say that at least one will lose out. But you never know.

Quote1 more day.
Can't wait. Think we will be victorious. Just don't see how Donegal will handle kinsella , Duke , Costello, Morris.
In keoghan and raff we have the players to nullify anything Donegal throw at us. 
Could be completely wrong. But honestly can't see anything other than a Meath victory by a few
I like your optimism,  and I  really hope you're right

but I honestly can't see anything other than a  Donegal win here. Maybe as much as  10 points.

Optimism is one thing. Being unable to see any way Donegal could beat Meath is quite another thing.
well let me put it this way. I don't believe in any shape or form Donegal would have beat Galway, Kerry and Dublin. In space of a short while.

Donegal had no problem with Louth though.
