GAA Discussion / Re: Ten Year Term Ticket renew...

Last post by Leftmidfield - Today at 03:48:32 PM

Just heard that these have now gone from 350euro(175 euro for each Final) per year to 500euro.
3500e to renew in 2015 for 10years and currently only offering a 5year
renewal at 2500-that's an increase of over 40%.Terrible rise for even for those could afford them
in the first pace.  

Were the Final tickets not included in 2015 for 3500e and now still included in the 5 year fee of 2500e OR are the final tickets extra ?

It's just for Finals

Agh right sorry I was getting it mixed up with Premium Tickets

We are now one of only 4 Counties remaining at odd ages (13/15/17) which includes Clare, Leitrim and Wicklow

Every other County has returned to even ages, it should be a motion brought at next weeks convention to immediately return to even ages.

The CBs can't be dropped as there's no alternatives to bring in if Gomez is injured (which he constantly is). It's hard to watch Konate get selected game after game when he deserved to be dropped weeks ago.  But they are also unsettled by the lack of solidity on either side of them.  Salah needs dropped - should have been weeks ago.  Bring in Chiesa for his ability to run and be a nuisance.  Stick with Ekitike when he's fit. Let Isak come on and get 20 minutes and build him up gradually.  Use young Rio more. Hungry, fresh young player who can run at defenders and beat them.  Forget about tactics and patterns of play for now - focus on running, tackling, playing with some anger.

Talking on CBS after Liverpool's 4-1 defeat by PSV, former defender Jamie Carragher said: "Liverpool's not a sacking club. Liverpool, I think, are different from almost every club in European football where the manager is the king. The managers get time.

"Liverpool have never sacked a manager who's won the league. Never in their history. They all go after a few years. They've gone, they've resigned. I couldn't believe at the weekend that people were talking about the manager's job when I spoke to Liverpool supporters after losing at home to Nottingham Forest. It's only going to amplify now and I've always been in the camp of you stick with the manager."

He added: "I think what you see now is Liverpool in 2018 under Klopp starts this sort of journey of being a great team and then Slot comes in and we're now, what are we, seven or eight years later? The catalyst for Liverpool at the very start of that run was Alisson, [Virgil] van Dijk and [Mohamed] Salah. Alisson's injured a lot, now he doesn't play so much but you're watching Van Dijk now, not the same player and Mo Salah looks like his legs have gone."

Fantastic news for the gamblers amongst us, having talked to some derryloughan compadres their issues with Paddy Bradley last year will certainly flair up with Donaghmore also.

Some Donaghmore players reportedly already frustrated with the appointment not sure if this is due to whispers from clubs he has taken previously or something else..

Donaghmore to see the drop to intermediate football sounds very likely depending on the exact capacity that Bradley is involved in.

Back the relegation.

While pessimistic of you to suggest that Bradleys involvement will be the factor that gets Donaghmore the drop, Logans track record speaks for itself, and mixed with the talent coming through from their youth 'Golden Age' over the past few years, more than likely will see them competing for championships rather than drop down to intermediate 

Would love to know the validity of your 'sources' aswell, fresh setup for the bloke and being written off before the season has even started with made up sources, always the way with men on this board

Serious statement of intent from Donaghmore with Logan's record club and county. They'd be seeing what Loughmacrory did and thinking.. why not? A lot of talent there. Whether they can get the middle to win an O'Neill Cup tho...

See my previous post, Logan likely a great appointment but as to Bradley word on the street doesn't bode well for his tenure.

Agreed. It might look good but not convinced about this appointment at all. They'd have been better taking a punt on a young hungry management team like the Omagh men away to Fintona or the current Clogher management.

D3 simply between stewartstown, fintona & Drumragh. The rest out to avoid relegation to 3B just.

Simply between Stewartstown and Fintona. Omagh 4ths will be what they are every other year, the nearly men.

General discussion / Re: How much of your transacti...

Last post by Armagh18 - Today at 02:32:53 PM

Yes, I wonder why Chinese restaurants don't want you using cash...

Wise the f**k up everyone. 99% of people looking cash are doing so they can avoid tax. Mossy people happy to give it to them are looking to avoid VAT.

Well no shit sherlock.

That plus the outrageous card fees. Why wouldnt they?

My point is stop f**king whining about card fees when the real reason is to keep everything off the books.

Or both. Have you seen how much businesses are losing out on in card fees?

It costs businesses money to handle cash. It costs businesses money to handle paper cheques. It costs businesses money to use cards. It costs businesses money to handle money no matter how they do it.

I've never understood this "cash is king" BS. Cash is a pain in the hole. You have to go out of your way to get your hands on the stuff, and the merchant has to either send some poor soul to the bank with a big wad of cash in a bag to drop into the night safe and hope they don't get robbed, or hire a security company to come in an armoured van to cart the stuff around. What's wrong with just tapping the phone? I don't get it.

When I worked for a bakery as a relief salesman, there were some runs where the breadman was trusted to handle cash, and some where they were not, so the shops had direct accounts with the bakery. With the former, you had to futer with calculating the amount owed, write it all out on the docket, make a note of all the shop owed, and collect cash at the end of the week, drive about all day Saturday with a pile of cash building up in your pockets, total that up at the bakery and do even more paperwork to deposit that into the bakery's safe. With the direct accounts you just made a note of what you delivered and dropped the book off at the bakery at the end of the week and let the billing department take care of it. A hundred times more efficient.

There was a lot less fraud where the latter kind of account was involved. If the bakery suspected the breadman was up to no good financially, they made sure all his shops had direct accounts.

The only use I have for cash now is to pay our house cleaner, and even then we could send money to her sister via Zelle. In fact we might just start doing that. I hate having cash sitting in the house. Cash is crap.

Have a couple of younger relations doing long term bar work at the minute.  They'd disagree entirely.

Card payments have totally wiped out the casual 'keep the change' transactions, which made up the vast majority of their tips

Tipping has changed from an almost passive thing to an active thing, which has decreased it (in pub terms) hugely.

You mean they aren't filling out tax returns for those cash tips? Glad they aren't getting them anymore the scoundrels!

Cash is king. We're getting cleaned enough by tax as it is, if you can keep abit of cash then do it.
