I know i'm well behind the times but flying through House of Cards at the minute.  Half way through season 3. quality show.  Hard to believe yer woman is in her 50's!

More hard to believe for me was that she was Jenny in Forest Gump.

The French soccer magazine France Football did a comparison of the best paid players and managers.
Guardiola gets €14.5 million. Conte gets €7.5m. Poch gets €6.3 m
And Maureen gets €28m which is more or less the sum total of the 3

That would put him on €540,000 a week. Are you sure that's right? I'd have thought 200-300k which in itself is still ridiculous.

Cavan started the fight
The ref made up a story about geezer
Willie Frazer isn't really from Armagh, he's a Tyrone man sent in to make Armagh people look like imbeciles
Getting locked before a game is the best way to watch Armagh play
The earth is flat

Do is life through the eyes of your average Armagh man

Was that the same fight that Marty Dunne broke his hand when the Armagh player headbutted his closed fist?

From the starting XI you have Kurzawa, Kimpembe, Rabiot and Matuidi that started.

Also Nkunku came off the bench who is also French. So 5 out of the 14 used are French. Probably above average these days for home grown players.

Always thought this was an interesting case. Feel some degree of sympathy with them in that I'm sure they would have provided a cake with no slogan. It was the message they had the issue with.

It wouldn't be custom I'd turn down but I can see where they are coming from.

Hoolahan is OK against the Moldova's etc. Against the big teams when we invariably kick long to Long/Walters the game bypasses him. Belgium in the Euros being a big example. Can do a job when chasing a game against the bigger teams but not from the start.

I'd play Arter McCarthy Hendrick in the middle when all are fit. McCarthy's better games are when he's not beside Whelan. Play Brady and Coleman at wing back and let the attack from deep.

I think along with Hendrick, Arter is probably our best midfielder. He's probably better than some on the England squad too but doesn't play for a fashionable enough team.

Think he'll be a big player for us over the rest of this campaign once he gets his place in the team.

Great draw for Tony. I wonder will he expect the teams with vastly superior budgets and wages to beat the minnows in financial terms Celtic

Dundalk one tie away from the Champions League - fair play to them.

No they have the 3rd round and then there is a knock out round which if your not seeded will almost certainly draw a team like Man City, Porto, Villarreal, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Roma etc

No separate draw in the knock out round for league winners and teams who didn't win their league. So City Porto Villareal Roma etc will draw each other. Whereas if Dundalk got that far they would face a team who actually won their league, Celtic, FC Copenhagen and teams like that.

Really hope Tyrone win on Sunday for God and for Ulster

Does coming on last night affect his CL availability for the season?

No, he'd still be eligible

Pedro just added another £5M to his asking price!!

Well, seeing as he has a release cause, i doubt he has to be honest.

Think the worst thing here is he's named Corrinshego. A club who have made huge strides in recent years and could be playing Intermediate football in Armagh next year as they are top of Div 3A. They aren't even in bottom Division in Armagh football.
