I wish it would rain
One more night
Two hearts

He has some cracking songs has Phil

Two hearts very under rated tune!

Have St John's being trekking down to Leitrim (down) to train!?

Away to Doire in the championship.

I suppose a quarter final 2 years running is progress.

Given the state of the toilets in Derry the campaign to get the match to Corrigan should be an easy one.

[Keep our doctors here, stop giving up places for international doctors coming here. We have lost some amount of doctors to other university's in the UK because Queens don't take on locals first..]

I think I read that the NHS budget for here is the most in the UK but we are still the worst at spending it!

It's like some backwater country that hasn't a notion on what its doing

It's been the case for quite a while that waiting lists, outcomes etc are significantly worse here than anywhere else in the UK, but more is spent per head here

Spent on what? Lunacy and they keep asking for more money! Pick a model that has been working and go with it..

Been proven so many times, educated elsewhere they generally stay there and lost to us here 

University fee's capped for locals by order of politicians and no of places capped as a result.

No surprise the colleges have a preference for uncapped fee's

It would be better for all if the cap was removed and the universities allowed to grow .

This is a political decision that looks good on paper but the unintended consequences are worse.

Before any starts this is a different argument than fees should be lower for everyone.

St endas thought they were too good for south antrim belfast and left
Arrogant

Wat did new manager say he wanted to talk about ?

Or maybe they went to the North Antrim leagues for underage due to the fact its better run and organised.

Its maybe why Sarsfields have joined it at under 12 level this year. Na Magha & Swatragh are also in the North Antrim league at underage.

The standard of hurling is higher in NA, mostly because there is clubs just do hurling no surprise clubs wanting to progress in hurling join it.

Whenever NA run dual structures properly then everyone can climb on a high horse about it.

Endas joined SW in football at younger ages because it allows them to have on team in SA and one team in SW and try to play at high levels in both rather than a second team in lower ranks of SA.

Any score from the U21?

St brigids won 3-13 to 1-14

Cheers.

We didn't help ourselves today, thought for most parts we played well just st Brigids took their chances, they had a great first half with the wind, goals and two pointers a plenty..

Second half came back to a one point game but goal killed it..

The amount of pulling and dragging masquerading as tackling in this game was ridiculous and no surprise it boiled over with red cards.

St galls were on track to win until then and were the better side in a tight enough game.

Not a fan either of clubs referencing dubious decisions on social media post game, either state it plainly or say nothing.

Ireland lost the heads after the failure to card the early no arms tackle (the SA man got his body position wrong and it was a red), from then Ireland have lost their discipline completely.

SA aren't that good, Just ultra physical and getting away with a good bit.

Hearing back from club that mark doran asked for club chairs and managers to meet at dunsilly during the week, good to see a county manager trying to communicate imo. Told there was talk of the league structure largely remaining the same

Good to hear on the talking part and hopefully a sign that fringe or non match day players can field for clubs etc.

How many clubs will have managers in place to send along!

Looks like the Antrim Manager has been reading this board

The roof is leaking, from the face value album very unlike anything else he is done (I think it's him and a lad on banjo) one of the first Of many songs he did about his multiple divorces

Another Day in Paradise

Against all odds, has half of genesis on backing vocals

One of the most prolific artists of the 80's and a bona fide legend

They lifting the roof of here,with the Scotland national anthem.

Loud alright, it's no sunshine on leith though!

His attacking was great, his defence awful. Unless Farrell is taking the old fashioned view that his 10 doesn't need to get his shirt dirty and the back row can cover it, pretty tough to do in a modern 15 man game.

Ireland do need fresh blood at centre from
somewhere, Australia poor and should have been put to the sword much easier than they were, Skelton not being there (although he's aging as well) robs them of a huge weapon.

Hansen the stand out, Park not far behind (after a wobbly season to date)
and Obrien effective, one comedy great moment when Furlong made a lunging, sliding catch and laid off, real wave for the cameras moment.

I think time is up for Lowe as a starter.

The crap show that is the primary school transfer test rolls back into town again this weekend.

Super well done to all NI politicians for their culpability in maintaining a disaster of a system, probably about 18 hrs away from social media posts from them all telling folk it's a cruel system but "you got this".

Clowns.

"Hands up who'd do it for nothing" would be an interesting litmus test.

Or hands up who'd do it , paid or not.

A serious commitment, players have high (too high?) expectations and sometimes expect some combination of Mick o'dwyer and Mickey Harte walking in.

I think most in-house managers are fairly well got by their own but very challenging gig at all levels.

Ballyhale got over Kilcormac in a good battle there, they'll be in the mix later.

A bit of a melee at the end there. 

Ballyhale the better side with that bit
More dog in them. but fortunate not to have a penalty given against them just after half time which would have made it a bit interesting.

I suspect it was the Ballyhale centre half back shouldering players after the final whistle that kicked off the row, the tube who came into the field then trying to start a row in the stand after he'd been fired out.
