A technical/procedural question. If a player commits a black card infraction, ref gives a free, player gets up and takes a quick free. The ref allows the quick free but waits for play to stop again before giving the offender a black card, can a ref do this?

Do they have a court judgment against you? If not it will not affect your credit file.

The best thing you can do is bypass the debt collectors and get in touch with HMRC directly, have you ducks in a row before doing so i.e. get all your dates written down and be clear why you do not owe them.

You should only be concerned if HMRC start to issue proceedings and if you do owe anything they should give you a reasonable time to set up a payment plan so you are not out 1200£ in one slap, hard enough paying that and getting and getting something never mind paying it and throwing it into the black hole of the state

Probably not the best place to post but has anyone had to deal with bpo who look after claiming money back for HMRC?

I'd an issue with tax a while back, they paid me back a rebate but recently got a letter from bpo claiming I owed just over £1200!

So obviously phoned, 50 minutes later and the first guy was clean useless second one was useless and stupid and the third girl eventually, explained what the issue was, as if she was speaking to a five year old, I understand why, but they had their dates wrong and I didn't owe anything near what was quoted !

I initially thought it was a fraud but now wondering, after getting bombarded with texts from them, how it will affect my credit!

The girl is going to do a reassessment, hopefully get back to me!

Ok, caught out if that's what you want to believe 

You would'nt need binoculars to see his club anyway Cnoc Ban 

Honestly, no. It is clear the CB is still being run by the LD contingent

Completely different, that year it was more than our boys who were disrespected it was indicative of the distain SW Antrim was being treated with by the establishment at that time

Awk now, people like the whole celebration of lifting the cup etc. I mean, I recall a lot of huffing & puffing on social media when it wasn't presented one year.

And you think the current chairman treats the SW any better?

Whatever you say 

Give it up with this 'our boys' shit. You are not from Cargin.

Creggan looked like they enjoyed that victory last night, to be honest I expected them to take the cup and slip back to the changing rooms without reems of photos, perhaps it shows their realistic ambition for the season

Who could actually verify any of this given the people that were there cannot unfortunately tell us, think it is best we leave the speculation at the door and respect the grieving relatives at this time

3 dead in the shooting in Maguiresbridge.

Mother, son, and daughter shot dead...father still alive but suspected shooter.

Heard a couple of rumors that dad was about to shoot himself and family got involved and the other that he shot the wife and kids tried to stop him and got shot.

Truly awful stuff

Happened round the road from a close friend of mine,  truly awful stuff

Unbelievable, heart breaking for the families involved and for the whole community.

RIP 

That's heart breaking.
God love them.
RIP.

McEntee may have had boys physical but you also have to have brains as to when and how to use physicality, look at Saturday with that head case from Ballymena running past a man and punching him when there was no needle or anything, there is a difference between physical and hard but honest and a thug

Sure if you read back in the hurling thread it was also said we weren't as good as top counties because referees weren't letting things go too.

I do think physicality wise we are a long way off most county sides. McEntee was the first manager had us in any way physical though with the number of sendings off this year obviously discipline didn't match so well.

Does these rugby style skirmishes you speak of not come from the crys for the referee to let the game go however, I do notice they seem to be more prevalent when some of the hurling refs are reffing football

''The senior club championship has been a wrestling match for 10 years, no wonder no progress in Ulster or at County.''

A wrestling match in what way?

As in a chunk of matches have teams knocking the pan outta each other under the veil that is "championship football" and they are permitted to do so, there is no stretch of skills. The most physical team (which may also be the most skilful) comes through.

So its poor refereeing you are referring to I assume since they are 'permitted' to knock the pan out of other? Not sure I agree with that tbh.

I can think of a couple of games that involved rugby style skirmishes for the ball in the last couple of years right enough. Brutal looking yes, poor officiating yes, but I don't think 'the most physical team comes through' rings true, it takes a bit more than physicality to win a championship.

Mick was targeted throughout the whole game and the ref let it go, don't think he gave Mick a free all day and then had the cheek to book him for asking a question

League would have meant little or nothing to us, however, its the manner of defeat in terms of the referee and his two linesmen

Well Saturday went as expected, let Ballymena away with thuggery, Mick McCann got beat round the place, John Carron red card for nothing more than Ballymena diving..........got what he wanted a Ballymena win   

I am looking a new fitness tracker but do not want a 'watch face' as I have some expensive watches and like to wear them so do not want to wear 2 watches at one time, I have read Whoop aren't great trackers. Any suggestions?

Cheers MR2, shall we assume you are down to do our boys?

Are we having the relegation and 'winners' play off for the league this weekend? Rumour has it they have been set but nothing on the website

I suppose just getting the pitches available and the refs.. but its this weekend
