If Ratcliffe is true to form, he might not want United staff working from home, but he'll likely be happy enough to have them working from Mumbai or similar. None of his promises or bluster can be trusted. Just look at the "British built" Grenadier.

Dominating this game.
The feckin' eejit Kenny on co-commentary who repeatedly claimed Lundstrom's red was not a red.
What a nutcase!

Crazy comments from that co-commentator. Such a dangerous tackle, could have smashed his ankle.

Right call there 100% a red not sure what Miller's on about.

Celtic the better team but conceded far too easily but you'd think they should go on and win with the man advantage.

As a rule I wouldn't let anyone from countries like Somalia in, one of the least developed countries in the world and fair to say they have fairly different views to us. Oh and seem to like to carry knives.

Was going to say bit of subtle racism there but it isn't even subtle.. just throw it out on social media that Somalians 'like to carry knives' - is how the far right works to instil fear and animosity towards migrants. Do u have evidence to support this?

It's not really that complicated

Enforce existing laws

Deport people whose claims are denied

Rigorous background checks on new arrivals

Set Welfare benefits in line with European averages (not double)

Can you explain to me how you do "rigorous background checks" on someone fleeing a warzone. Do you send a form to their local police station?

Also, do you think their should be rigourous checks on all sides. Would there be anything to be said for some checks on these far right goons? I mean if they were involved in local sports, foroige, community games etc then they'd already have been Garda vetted, but we know none of them do anything in their community. I'm all for rigorous checks on them so we can see who has criminal records, beats their wife and sells drugs etc. I'm sure you'd agree you wouldn't want those type of people heading up your racist protests

Great

So we're in agreement then. More rigorous checks on incoming applicants are a good thing.

So we don't end up with a shambolic situation like the one highlighted last week where a guy (convicted sex offender) denied asylum in 3 separate countries can get in having destroyed a fake Swedish passport

And he then took a (taxpayer funded) legal action against the government to avoid deportation

Armagh/Donegal play next Sunday in the Ladies Ulster final, would it have been that hard to agree a financial arrangement with the Ladies to get a few quid from tomorrows gate and have a double header?
