RTE news : Troubles journalist Ed Moloney dies aged 77.

I was laid up for a few days and see what happens!!
Disaster for Taoiseach and the wing of FF that selected Gavin.
Will they now endorse HH as a Government candidate?

Taoiseach and "wing of FF that selected Gavin" are the same thing.

An endorsement now from FF/MM might be a mixed blessing for HH. She would have got 60% of Gavin transfers but a lower FF type voter turnout now could mean she gets less votes. A lot of FF voters will be reluctant to take guidance/dictats from MM and there is still a cohort in FF who won't vote for the blueshirts

Connolly now 5/6 favourite with PP and Gavin out to 10/1.

Fianna Fáil to decide between solid uninspiring long term member and parachuted in well known outsider today.
Shinners going to back Connolly?

More a case of FF members deciding do they support the supreme  leader or show some testicles. FF the party of uno duce una voce under MM.

Gavin wins 41-29. He better win it now or MM in the firing line. 29 a substantial vote for Kelleher.

Not PC but a lot of ladies team sports including soccer is hard to watch. Even the gaelic sports are no great shakes.

This womens world cup is awful. The lack of competitive games even at the business end of the tournament make it unwatchable.

Like ladies soccer ladies rugby is completely overhyped. RTE completely over the top, constantly reminding us of the great achievement of reaching the Quarter Final!

Watch Kelly for a neat shuffle and side step as he reenters the race all the time hoping his reason for withdrawing in the first place will be forgotten.

RTE news : Seán Kelly will 'most likely reconsider' bid for Áras

Not surprised. The man is shameless.

Watch Kelly for a neat shuffle and side step as he reenters the race all the time hoping his reason for withdrawing in the first place will be forgotten.

A couple of handy ones to Kerry in last few minutes.

DC has vanished like a fart in the wind in the last 15 minutes.

Not a lot of ball being played to him. Gavin White still opening up Donegal. Kerry fouling ensures no goal chances and Donegal need a goal.

Still no apology for Kilkenny over the scoreboard! 

From whom? If there was a Kilkenny player who didn't know the score I'd be very surprised.

Did Kilkenny come out looking an apology?

How would they have known?

Joe O'Connor has been ripping teams apart. He near needs stopped as much as Clifford.

Has been imperious

Most important player for Kerry this year and needs to be stopped if Donegal are to win.

Brian Ó Beaglaoich and Graham O'Sullivan have also been turning in top class performances.

Tyrone have been shocking.

Shooting terrible in last 20 minutes. Kerry have taken some good points in the same period.

Hard to see a way back for Tyrone. Little cohesion in the forwards when they do attack and missing some scorable chances.

It's a poor enough game even allowing for the heat.

Half time odds to win Kerry 1/2  Tyrone 13/5

Accurate enough I would think
