Interesting story here.

I wonder who the Minister is? 

If the Shinners had been in charge of Education they would have been pulling the same strokes.

Unfortunately that's not the case. For some reason the Shinners seem to be determined to play fair while the DUP does it's utmost to keep its constituency happy which is why, for instance, they brought out a community hall refurbished Grant which was skewed to favour orange halls and church halls. They also introduced a grant scheme to put 3G pitches at orange halls and one at aughnacloy high school which was not justified but was built as Maurice Morrow was minister. You've got to hand it to them, meanwhile the SF ministers can't order a Chinese if their officials tell them they can only have an Indian and they're eating at home if the DUP decides that Indian is off the menu too

Good old Fr Stone

If he is allowed to appeal is it a full run of the previous trial, putting those girls through the wringer again?

Where to start on last night. It's the hope that kills they say and England will be crushed today. They've led a pretty charmed tournament up to this but in 20 minutes flat all their chickens not only came home to roost, but completely lay the boot into them when they were prone on the floor.

They are a counter attacking team. That is their strength, that is their player profile. They don't produce orchestra conductors for the middle and they don't have 5 Maldinis or the like in defense. They went 1 nil up, perfect, but then turned the screw on themselves instead.

Proof of the pudding is always in the eating and hard to feel sorry for Tuchel with the shit coming his way. Made some pretty big statements with his squad selection that haven't stood the test. You always need a little something different in tournaments so what the hell was the point in bringing Mainoo if he had no intention of playing him, EVER! Henderson on the bench with a broken arm. Palmer and Foden at home. The Greek tragedy writes itself. Trent too could have offered something a bit different at some stage. He's a brave man staying in the job because he will be despised in that squad. The phone calls for the next round up of the troops will be funny. Even big Harry will be thinking he would have cut out that cross and the desperate tactic of giving it to Pickford to pump up the field 70 yards was tailor made for him. It's so f*****g hilarious I almost feel sorry for the twats in their ranks. And Bellingham with all his Billy big bollix digs at the manager and ex players that this team doesn't choke!!!! Only thing missing was for Pickford to trip on his laces and face plant the ball into the back of his own net.

Good post, but given what's come before it and after it reminds me of the 2 Ronnies doing the news:
Sport now, and in the match between Celtic and Rangers, fighting was interrupted when football broke out on the pitch

Should Tyrone keeper not have got a black card

Hopefully France will now see these boys off. Absolutely nothing to offer. It'll be good to see the back of them

A5 not delivered
Irish Language Act not delivered
Casement not delivered
Maze Prison not delivered
DUP and Civil Servants running rings round SF

Whatever happens, Argentina are poor. We'll need Spain or France to stop the sassenach (who are shite too but so is the standard).  CV should go for it.

You won't have to wait that long, Mexico will send them on the next plane home

Back to cheering on an ENGLISH club next month

Well in fairness the same could be said for the majority of people on this Board

The Spotlight show was not as explosive as I thought it might and I do feel it was slightly contrived. What evidence is there that he puked on the Mayor of Beijing?  Like he's not going to deny it and no one is actually going to support it. 2 senior members of the PSNI just happened to be walking past a prominent gay sauna place when he just happened to be going in?  I don't buy it.

It seems strange that all these stories are breaking now so long after the event. All very convenient. Like everything in this place I am always suspicious of who gains what from each action or event. I think there are more pages to be turned here on this whole thing yet and there will be a few people sweating hard at the minute wondering when they will be in the firing line.

'What evidence is there that he puked over the Mayor of Beijing?'  The statement came from the mouth of Ian Paisley! What sort of doubting Thomas are you?? Ian hasn't a dishonest bone in his body and if he says he witnessed it that should be good enough for everyone

There were widespread and quite public allegations some years ago about another DUP member and rent boys. I wonder will these now resurface

The match between Algeria and Austria could be interesting. A draw would see both teams progress. Given that Austria did the dirt on Algeria in 1982 might they be prepared to make amends this time?

I just watched the Spotlight programme, wasted an hour of my life. Nobody seemed to have anything about his abuse but a lot of the politicians he shafted knew he was a bad one.

Thanks for saving us time..most of these documentaries are as such.

I stick mostly to reading, video and audio are huge time sinks

Actually I thought the documentary was quite good, visits to gay saunas, drunk and projectile vomiting over the Mayor of Beijing, revelations from Ian Og about complaints from another lady about his inappropriate behaviour, what more do you want

What was Donaldson's side of the story in what he was supposedly apologising for in both the letter of apology or the apology at the Armoy meeting?

That was reported but I think probably unlawfully so it's not possible to answer that anymore.

Is Donaldson's side of that story part of the court recorded evidence

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by court recorded evidence. There's been an awful lot of evidence heard by the Jury that can't be reported for legal reasons.

Can it be reported when the case is over?

No outcome today - Back in again on Monday.

I would assume that their difficulty is around Mrs D and whether or not she knew the full picture
