It's absolutely shocking. Why they couldn't delay his start until after Roma and the cup final is beyond me. Also why on earth they chose a guy who hasn't managed anywhere apart from North America is even further beyond me

Excuse my ignorance but is this good news or bad news for those of us who want to see the road built?

Collected wages and expenses.
In fairness Mickey Brady did immense work for his constituents and still does even though he's retired. As a former welfare rights worker he's kept very busy around Newry. He might not maintain a high public profile but he's highly regarded by the people of Newry and the wider area

Quote from: Dougal Maguire on November 09, 2025, 07:14:43 PMI was at the self build event yesterday at Eikon Centre and there weren't many on show. Any that were displayed were the little badge type. I didn't see any  exhibitors wearing them
You walked around a self-build show clocking who was wearing a poppy and what size they were?
It was just an observation

I was finding it difficult to understand what he was up to for some time. Paid big money for Trusty and Engles but gave them little game time. I'd like to see M O'N stay until the end of the season

As someone who is retired I would just make this reflection, when you're young with a young family you have little money and lots you could spend it on, when you're older you've plenty of money and a lot less to spend it on. My advice therefore is to enjoy life when you're young and don't be scrimping on things in order to have jam tomorrow

I remember in the mid 90s fixing for 10 years at 9.5%. I just wanted certainty. I think for most of the time I was up money

Ashcroft was excellent. I thought it was just gonna be a solo acoustic set but he had a full backing band with him. Get in early and enjoy him, you won't get a chance to do this again tomorrow
