Thought it was another tabloid hoax until I saw that it was the German police making these claims; straight away it got my attention as Germans are nothing if not thorough and professional and they would have a lot of credibility, a lot more than other cowboy countries around the world. They apparently have a fair bit of evidence from one of the vehicles although no DNA. Expert's, including Gamble, believe that they have more than they've released but are simply trying to jog memories and get independent corroboration as they cant really be seen to be putting words into potential witnesses mouths.

Gamble is a bit of a media whore, no? Can't warm to him at all.

Have met him a few times, but seems genuine enough, I get the media stuff but it’s the media who call him

So will teachers be able to play since they can only do the odd day at work due to risk of picking up the virus? Whole thing badly thought out!

Or anyone working in non essential jobs, like Dunne's

The German police must be confident they have the right man, otherwise their claim that they are assuming the child is dead could make them look incompetent.
I'm wondering do they have some physical evidence already and they are looking for that extra nail in the coffin to secure a conviction.

It doesn't bear thinking about what must have happened that wee girl and to her family. At the time it happened one of my kids was around that age, and coincidentally I have a 3 year old girl now also. It really makes it hit home how evil an act this was regardless of who carried it out.

That poor wee girl. Unfortunately I have to blame the parents here. Never in my mind would I consider leaving my kids alone while I went and drank.

Do we know why it took so long for this to come out?

Never done it or would my wife even forgive me if I left them in the car had i went to the shop!

But I've left them in the house while we've been in garden when having a barbie/drinks

Waiting expectantly now for this to be thrown at you in threads to come.

Didn’t say who’s garden

The rates have dropped for the last 5 weeks.

First wave done, hopefully the second wave doesn’t come and we can get back to normal

Trailers wife is a front line worker so can avail of having kids at school allowing him to work. So no issues.

Also let’s give schools teachers and kids some credit, the education will continue when safe, they’ll not finish school at a lesser disadvantage position than the kids the coming before them or after them.

My daughters won’t lose the education they’ve received these past few years!

I'd agree with his main point. If and when GAA is back the remaining league games should be played. And it's true for some teams in the lower divisions the league is their championship.

Well I look at it like this.

There is nobody has ever gone to bed dreaming about winning d4 league titles. What a d4 title is, is a a stepping stone / launchpad to something bigger i.e a provincial title, an AI title.

There isn’t going to be enough time to complete the leagues and play a championship. That’s a fact.

Anyone calling for leagues to be completed instead of a championship being played, is basically calling for the stepping stones to be finished, instead of playing the main event.

Nothing wrong in what he’s said, slightly railroaded into the boycott thing by your man so I wouldn’t take that on board, for him and Antrim it’s very important to finish the league, if the two games improve our chances of going up to div 3 then that’s our focus.

No one outside of Dublin our Kerry will be competing competitively for the championship, only a fool would think otherwise, and you’d be dreaming if you thought your county will be winning an all Ireland if your not from those counties I’ve mentioned.

Finish the league off and it can be done before a ‘knockout’ championship or straight after it when the counties are not involved in the championship

The worst is this, no one or team will get to the level of fitness and conditioning they managed to get to before lockdown. This in itself may throw up some ropey matches an a few shocks (hopefully)
