Quote from: Armagh18 on April 12, 2026, 09:40:08 PMJaysus even Peter Canavan said McMullen shouldnt have been sent off!

Why would Canavan know any better than the ref or any regular Joe who knows the rules? That 2nd yellow was an easy call



Yes easily the wrong call.  Tyrone very lucky on a number of red card incidents

2 sentences on why you can't have a conversation with fans of teams involved on incidents during a game. Too much emotion / bias. I'm married into Armagh stock and have zero grá for our neighbours in Tyrone (full transparency 😁)

I think we can have a very frank discussion on it and allow for bias.  Which of the following was it?

5.10 To deliberately pull down an opponent.
5.11 To deliberately trip an opponent with hand(s), arm, leg or foot.
5.12  To deliberately collide with an opponent after that opponent has played the ball away or for the purpose of taking that opponent out of the movement of play.
5.13 To deliberately prevent or restrict, or to attempt to prevent or restrict, an opponent from moving or from playing the ball, by holding up an opponent.
5.14 To contribute to a melee by being the third or subsequent player into a melee except where that player enters the melee and solely engages in the removal of a team-mate.
5.15 To remonstrate in an aggressive manner with a Match Official.
5.16 To threaten or to use abusive or provocative language or gestures to an opponent or team- mate.

Because I can't see it being any of them and the question was asked on the rules

David it was none of those, he was yellow carded for a high tackle. It could be argued he tackled the ball and his arm/hand slipped upwards but it was a silly challenge to make when on a yellow.

No he wasnt he recieved a black card or at least thats what it looked from where I was and what RTE said it was

A poor enough quality game which Armagh deservedly just about won.  In fact I think the manner of the win will stand them in good stead.  The first 1pt game Armagh have won this year and possibly the first since the 2024 all Ireland

Apart from that very few positives.  Worrying that Murnin and McCambrdidge didnt see any action when extra time seemed set up for them.  Must not be as close to a return as was thought

Refereeing very poor all round.  I understand the second half lasted 44 minutes of real time which shows how whistle happy he was.  Red card was a joke and some of things he missed were unforgivable.

Tyrone very good defensively but kicked themselves out of with a number of poor misses.  Long lay off now with Tyrone guaranteed to meet a provincial finalist in their next game

Quote from: Tony Baloney on April 10, 2026, 11:59:09 PMGot the monkey off his back last year. If he can keep playing with no fear he won't be caught and who knows how many times he could win this thing!

Apparently he was 90th out 91 in driving accuracy over the first two days including 0 for 8 on the par five's. If that doesn't improve he could come back to the field very quickly

If this happens this is all on you david

It will be sweet revenge for his dad asking me to be removed from a boys tournament all those years ago because I was in playing that poorly I was apparently putting Rory off

A fiendish plan decades in the making.

Quote from: bennydorano on April 07, 2026, 06:39:16 PMHear Rian has done his ankle and will be out for a while. He's playing club, end of.

Strange I heard he was the fittest he'd ever been physically but wasn't quite ready to return but would be playing for the club.

So who knows. I doubt it's likely he will be back
Maybe he was and done the ankle at club training. I see he was coaching an underage camp in Armagh today and isn't on crutches anyway so maybe the ankle injury isn't that serious

I think the point I was making is that I don't think its an ankle injury keeping him out.

The closer the game gets the more nervous I become. Whilst I have little to no concerns over any player individually I have concerns over the 9 defenders 4 forwards split. I think it leaves Armagh very unbalanced and susceptible to clever kick outs which Morgan is very astute at. Hope I'm wrong but can't see anything other than o really tight affair and Armagh haven't won many of those over the last 18 months.

Quote from: BigGreenField on April 10, 2026, 09:27:59 AMIf an AGM is the solution then there will be a mechanism to force an EGM.

The solution likely involves and application to land registry and purchase of indemnity insurance (to indemnify any purchaser of your flat that there won't be an issue with communal areas)

A larger solicitors with a commercial real estate practice should be able to handle.

If the developer has gone bust the original law firm who acted for them or their bank may have details - you can see who this is from historic filings by developer at companies house (when you purchased what was the name of the selling entity), there will mortgage docs filed with legal details.

 

As I say it sounds like the asset may now be Bona Vacanta which will delay things

Quote from: Baile Brigín 2 on April 09, 2026, 02:30:09 AMSorry Dave, you are wrong here.

Firstly what would the Minister for Public Expenditure have to do with it? The council or Department of Housing would be first up if that was a thing.

The developer will hold the asset and it would be dealt with by the receiver who will ultimately sell it to the management company. That process us likely happening but tonto needs them to confirm. If they aren't involved in a conversation then he has bigger problems.  Again, no idea where this apartment is, but if south of the border he has no state agency coming over the hill here.

You forget the south is a great deal more capitalist, especially round housing. The state doesn't step in, like this. The developers assets get sold on. The management company have dibs, and the receiver knows it. So they can charge what they like.

Sorry I had read this as either the developer or more likely some subsidiary company created by the developer (very common in the north) had been bankrupted a long time ago and was therefore no longer in the picture. If there is still a legal entity or receiver holding the deeds then you are correct.

If however the receivership process is complete and the developer or a subsidiary is no longer in existence then what I have outlined above is correct.

That issue would need clarified first.

Yes. I believe the developer has gone bankrupt and the deeds were never transferred to the new management company
The fundamental point of a management company is to own and maintain common areas. They need to immediately tell you who holds these deeds and when they plan on getting their hands on them.

The problem is a lot of management companies in the north tend to be made up of residents who aren't experienced in the area that's if they even function. In my apartment case the management company hadn't met in a number of years and in the end to advance things my mother ended up getting appointed chair just to move things on then left as soon as the apartment was sold. So a lot will depend on what kind of management company you have. I have limited experience of them in the south but from that they do all seem much more professional.

Might be helpful to know what side of the border the apartment is on

we are in Belfast.
My sympathies.

So ignore everything I said. Which is a pity because it was brilliant

I agree it was excellent even if we were at complete cross purposes

we are in Belfast. The management company are trying to get it sorted but have said it will be discussed at their agm which doesnt help us short term. Think we will try and rent it out until it gets sorted. No help with the 2nd property stamp duty but at least the mortgage would be covered and we will have 3 years to sell it and claim back

Yeah I ended up having to do that. My place was in Wellington Square
