Glen Hansard, motorbike crash.

That is shocking.

Awful. What a loss. RIP Glen.

I don't mind him to a point but he tries to dig in for some controversy to try and get headlines. Particularly when it's very personal topics I'd rather he didn't do that.

Fair enough, have found some of the personal stuff thats came up a very good listen (don't want to use the word powerful). I'm sure that sort of thing is discussed beforehand and if  the people being interviewed didn't want to go into detail it wouldn't be spoken about

Aye in fairness, I don't think he is putting people on the spot there and then and that'll have been talked about beforehand. It is the reason some of these people go on the podcast to raise awareness of various issues based on their own life experience.

I might be wrong, but it seemed to me like the woman who was presenting for the BBC was at her first ever Hurling match today!

Holly Hamilton...name might give it away

How did she do?

Would she make  a good duo  with Jackie Fullerton?

She was awful. No insight into questions to ask or direction to take the conversation. Kept glancing at her notes. Where was Sarah Mulkairns for the BBC?

Hamilton is married tp that phillips lad who was in the crowd. Bbc love their semi celebs at the finals.
Inswa Sarah presenting on bbc for the Open.

Aye - knew she was married to him. He's a clown. The celeb bit is utter cringe. All too forced and bit paddywhackery. Niall Quinn couldn't even be arsed being there for half time. Got his free ticket and fucked off....lol.

If they dropped that segment and got Sarah Mulkerrins back, the rest of the coverage is pretty decent.  I think Sarah is a very good presenter, but Hamilton was very obviously out of her element. Even made some remark about across the country, referring to the UK at one point (can't remember exactly what it was in reference to).

Liverpool spent £114m on the new main stand (10 years ago, but it is state of the art) and more recently £100m on the new anfield road stand.
Can anyone explain to me why this sort of efficiency can't be replicated in Casement?

Brown envelopes and back scratching.

Wasn't the planning  permission due to expire  around now ? Obviously this is  why there's now a rethink. 

Ulster GAA  foolishly rode it out  until the last day hoping the  Brits would stump up more money.

Now, redraw the plans, and  just build the f**king thing. Something they  should  have done a long time ago

Everyone associated with the project should do the right thing and resign with red faces then hand it over to some competent authority to get on with building something fit for purpose.

100%. It has been a complete clusterf**k since day one, and the same people seem to be running things now as they did then. It doesn't appear any lessons have been learned from the entire process.

More stuff will probably come out.

There should really be an enquiry into this now - especially from the DUP and who knew what and when about Donaldson.

Paisley - another God fearing Christian.   

Ian Og, he of brown envelope fame  knew years ago and worked it to his advantage

Even the slow on the uptake voters of North Antrim eventually caught on to his antics, although it took them many years to do so. If Paisley told me today was Friday, I would double check it first. He is someone who should never have been let near public life & he has shamelessly traded on his name & background, all his adult life. A man of no real discernible talents, or abilities, but he's not alone within the DUP, in that respect.

And where did the people of North Antrim place their newfound enlightenment - Jim Allister!!!

I'd say there is plenty more to come out in the wash about Dundaldson and the DUP. They'll be circling the wagons.

F**k me. Jim Alistair is some bollox:

Never thought they'd have the guts to send him down.

What a weekend of results.

Tyrone could draw Westmeath, Monaghan or Meath in a quarter-final and I'd back Tyrone every single time. There's no reason to fear anyone with the inconsistency Armagh and Donegal have shown — if either of them are waiting in a semi-final, Tyrone will fancy their chances.

People seem to have very short memories. Not long ago, Tyrone went into Donegal's own backyard, were written off by plenty, and came away with the win. This so-called "worst team left" Tyrone also pushed Armagh all the way to extra time in the Athletic Grounds this year.

Count Tyrone out if you want — but history has a habit of proving the doubters wrong.

That's evidence of being afflicted (at birth?) with a serious dose of Tyrone cockiness extremus.

Wasn't that long ago they were lining up replacements for MOR. 

Saw Messi's hat trick on socials this morning, thought it was highlights from a game 7 or 8 years ago, the man is peerless

Seen a few highlights there, man still has it.

Woeful goalkeeping on the first two though!

Aye, the goalkeeper was shocking, but watch Messi's movement off the ball. Classic Messi. Some going to be playing in your 6th WC. There will no doubt be comparisons to a certain Ronaldo later today, but for me, there is only one GOAT (regardless of the game last night).

Ronaldo be desperate to get on the scoresheet tonight to match him! Messi still a class act, Ronaldo was unstoppable in his day but he's not at that level now.

Ronaldo was always the better athlete, but Messi is just a more naturally gifted footballer. Less theatrics with Messi as well - a far more rounded team player who doesn't seek to make every game about him with theatrics.

Rafferty had a nightmare there but fair play to Louth. They kept themselves in the game and for their reward.
