Quote from: Truthsayer on Today at 01:41:40 PMTempting fate but can not see defeat today. Cavan are poor and how they beat Mayo is a mystery. Mayo mustn't have turned up at all. If we don't bate Cavan, be better off out of it...

I dunno. Look how poor Cavan were versus Tyrone in Ulster yet the gap was too close for comfort. If they play their best game today it could be a bad day. They have to get a win against Tyrone sooner or later.

Quote from: LC on June 12, 2025, 06:55:39 PMI would put my money on Antrim town, definitely ticks the sh1thole box as a starting point.

Definitely a trend there. Carrickfergus or Bangor will have to get in on the act next.

Surely Grimes should be in there.

Are the rules the same for minor, u20 and senior?
#6
How many players have won All Stars as a forward and defender?

Quote from: Tony Baloney on June 02, 2025, 11:39:14 PMConrad Harrigan in Mobland one of the worst characters committed to screen.

Terrible character, nearly comical. Maeve is a Terrible character too though.

Be a while yet. Still using polystyrene cups and string up there.

Quote from: gallsman on May 29, 2025, 09:17:46 AMEllie capsizing, landing on the island, getting captured, getting released and leaving in the space of about five mins was utterly pointless. The only thing I can think of is do demonstrate her care and empathy when she wanted to save the Seraphite kid compared to the even younger kid who would have had her gutted.

Miraculously, the boat washed up within yards of her. What were the chances? Very disappointing end to what was, on the whole, a disappointing season 2.

Pretty poor season. The penultimate episode was very good though.

Quote from: HokeyPokey on May 14, 2025, 10:50:36 PMIt's funny how brilliant players can come through the same teams or how some brilliant minor teams don't  produce any players. The 97/98 and 2008 minor vintages come to mind or the 2015 U21 team. 2010 had Sludden who was great, but also Ronan O'Neill and Richie Donnelly, though them not fulfilling their promise can be attributed to injuries and/or the playing style and management.

Both Donnelly and O'neill played for Tyrone for about a decade each. Both have all Ireland medals and Ulster titles. There's no doubt they may have been affected by injuries and management/playing style but it's very harsh to say they didn't fulfill their potential when they have had a career most inter county footballers could only dream about.

Also I'm near sure Mccurry was in that 2010 minor team.

Richard Donnelly was never really expected to be great and he didn't have a great inter county career at senior level.

Ronan O'Neill and Conan Grugan were the stars of the 2010 minor team and neither fulfilled their potential either.

BBC article about where to go instead of America because it apparently isn't safe

One of the suggestions is Cape Town.

I honestly think the people who write this guff have never been to the States or anywhere outside their Twitter bubble.

Sure there was a group of South Africans just granted refugee status in the US by Trump due to the dangers faced by white people in South Africa.

Season 1 wasn't great either.

Quote from: bennydorano on May 14, 2025, 10:09:36 AMMobland is the best show I've watched in a longtime. Conrad is pure Cork, accent is fine. Has Tom Hardy got prosthetics? He's more like Joe Bugner than his regular stud muffin looks.
I think the whole thing is pure muck but it's entertaining so I'll keep watching.

It's like the TV show equivalent of a B movie. I still enjoy it though.
A B movie is a good call. I like most of the characters but Brosnan, Mirren and the fella playing Richie are just pure East End mobster clichés with 2 out of 3 having terrible accents.

Aye, Brosnan and Mirrens accents are poor but they nearly play their role as if it's a spoof.

The fella playing Richie is simply playing the same character he did in those English gangster films like The Busines and Green Street.

Was that last free for Tyrone not a 2 pointer?
