Quote from: Brendan on April 15, 2026, 09:15:46 PMThat was the prime time for to get that team to win something, u20s will start to tail off again now with the last couple of minor teams nowhere near as strong
What are you talking about. Next years u20's were 2024 All Ireland minor champions?

Rogers, McEldowney, McGuckian, Small, Higgins all starters tonight who i believe are over the bar next year

You are correct on that,Haran Hargan McCloy Grant Rocks &Dillon  from the starting team all underage next year in addition to Sargent and Young

Three years in a row now Derry have  been beat by Tyrone in the under 20s Tyrone were so much more direct in their attacking play and it paid off in the end

Saw the second half of Dungiven and Steelstown ( Donnacha Gilmore playing midfield for them) Dungiven won by three but Steelstown hit a lot of wides in the second half

Armagh very impressive last night also

Quote from: gallsman on April 03, 2026, 09:45:41 PMStone Roses, Funeral and Moon Safari already mentioned and up there for me.

LCD Soundsystem self titled
Daft punk - Homework
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
Eric B & Rakim - Paid in Full
The Smiths self titled
Nas - Illmatic
Kanye West - College Dropout
Gorillaz self titled
Raekwon - Only 4 Cuban Linx (Enter the Wu Tang not too shabby for that matter)
Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation Of...

Bit of a cheat as both obviously well established but Raising Sand by the duet of Robert Plant & Alison Kraus probably better than the lot of them put together.
Must  have a listed  back to Raising Sand a fantastic album, Stone Roses for me is the ultimate debut album

Quote from: LoughNeagh on April 03, 2026, 05:49:30 PMRyan Bell put in some shift yesterday for Ballinderry in the Larkin Cup final
from what I'm hearing he's got himself into serious shape.
A brilliant forward, kicks 5/6 on a bad day.

Ballinderry have the potential to upset the few of the big boys this year and try and get themselves back to the top table.
Sucky is in the best condition I have seen him in a long time , in this 2 point era he will be a a huge threat for Ballindery this year

Derry and Donegal have named strong sides for this evenings game. Roarty down to start for Donegal, Max Campbell on the bench. Derry unchanged from Fermanagh game which means, no Sargent for Derry.
All level at half time Max Campbell started and got a goal in the first minute  Donegal were 5 up at stage but 1-06 each at half time

Quote from: Captain Scarlet on March 30, 2026, 02:05:42 PMThe Capture is great TV in my book. The 2nd series was better than the first and this one is taking it up a notch. Obviously a bit batshit with some holes in the plot but well made.

Started watching Bait on Amazon - from Riz Ahmed and it's a bit of a mess. Doesn't really know what it's trying to be and him, plus more, unlikeable characters.
Man Like Mobeen and Mo are both much better at what he is trying to do.


We are really enjoying the Capture as well , Medical dramas are not something I would typically watch but we started the Pitt over the weekend ,Season 1 was one of the most enjoyable series  we have watched in a long time

Quote from: sensethetone on March 23, 2026, 09:10:10 AMI've been told that if you keep refreshing the page new appointments can become available. maybe not in your first preference MOT centre.

Constantly refreshing the page has worked for me before ,  the earliest available dates for all of the testcentres were continually changing

By my counting there would be 6 changes from the corresponding team that won  that year's minors with  Oisin stepping away Luke Grant and Janes Sargent not fully fit and on bench which leaves Finbar Murray Jack McCloy and odhran Campbell being the other three changes ,( Murray and McCloy on the bench , I think someone had said earlier Campbell is at college in the states )

Quote from: Ronnie on March 15, 2026, 09:05:18 AMI don'tt know either of those although I remember A House's Endless Art & An Emotional Gish's Celebrate.  2 classics from the early 90s / Trip to Tipp era.  Those really were the days.
Two classics all right, The Fat Lady Sing's Arclight was another clinker from that era
