Grateful Dead founding member Bob Wier who famously dedicated "He's Gone" to Bobby Sands  in concert Nassau Coliseum 06/05/81  who had just died on hunger strike. That was about the only overt political statement  made by any member of the "Dead" on stage in their long and prolific life as the best Rock band ever.

The concert was recorded on the exclusive Dick's Picks recordings , Dick's Picks 13

Bob Weir, The Grateful Dead.

78, after a cancer battle.

Saw him just two years ago in concert. Was still singing and playing guitar brilliantly.

Important one for Port as Roe was excellent with managing all the lads coming back from abroad and navigated those first couple rounds well. Off the top of my head it's only them and Emo to get sorted with a manager now in the senior that is. Ballyfin are probably the only intermediate club that are still on the look out too.

Have Ballyfin not got the former Moorefield manager on board again

Brigids 8/13
Daingean 6/5

It's Dingle. What's with the Daingean thing?

Would have made Dingle slight favourites based on the weekend myself but it's going to be a tight game.

So it has 2 names

I think there should be a rule that all club names should be in Irish.

Excellent idea.

Years ago, teamsheets all had to be in irish

Four lads, and their families, who have probably been to every Glenullin Championship game. When's the last time you can go and watch your club in All-Ireland Final. Now they have to decide.

This is an absolute joke.

Glenullin Ultras time for action

Ah Jesus lads. What games there.

I'm explaining to the wife, who is a scouser, just the lay of the land about how big these places are and the travelling the have to do for training.

I took her to Croke Park when I was lucky my home club won an intermediate all Ireland  final

Everything good about the GAA was out there today.

People are emotional but the images show clearly his case is strong[aside from having Fedgov backing].

She Reverses car, as the wheels are still pointed left[by 5-10 degrees] they start spinning, car lurches forward a bit then wheels turn right. Her intention was to flee the scene/evade arrest without harming anyone. It does not matter in LAW.

From POV of the shooter he can claim to be in fear for his life as an audibly revving 2 ton SUV with spinning tyres is aimed at him. Thats the crucial moment he decided to act and all you need to justify force. Then you have the shooters prior incident being dragged[prob shouldnt be on frontline duty due to this]

>Minnesota Statutes § 609.065
Deadly force is justified only:
"when necessary in resisting or preventing an offense which the actor reasonably believes exposes the actor or another to great bodily harm or death, or preventing the commission of a felony in the actor's place of abode."

You have a duty to retreat unless its your own home. He will say be didnt have time to dive out of the way.

Its clear his colleague shouting at her was the catalyzing event. It caught the shooter off guard as the car had been sitting stationary for a while, whilst he was milling around.

Her partner[Becca] shouted "drive drive!" , making her an accessory[under law] to whatever Renee Good was going to be charged with. Becca blamed herself for them being there to begin with.

Its a stupid situation all round.

From the very start you have justified this woman's murder. Is no doubt your agenda. We had maggots like you defend murders by the State here for years and currently trying to stop any prosecutions of soldiers who clearly committed murder. Is not a hope that ICE KKK will be convicted for that same reason... State murdering it's citizens is nothing new.
