None of the listed AB countries for me.

I've been to Aruba though.

Not a country.

Its always a grey area

In January 1986, Aruba seceded from the Netherlands Antilles, becoming a constituent country of the Kingdom in its own right. In October 2010, the Netherlands Antilles was dissolved and Curaçao and Sint Maarten became the newest constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Any recommendations for family friendly hotels or accommodation in Albuferia, Portugal?

Going next week, not to a family friendly one though, would imagine Old Town Albuferia would be best suited for a quiet time, mum and dad usually went there, they loved it.

But the strip you'd need to avoid! Think my sister stayed at the Jupiter resort, not sure when to be honest, her kids were smaller. think its expensive though.

Checked out any Airbb?

Armagh v Down - DOWN 4-2 on penalties
Donegal v Tyrone - TYRONE by 2

I almost hope it does go to penalties to see how Armagh cope with that.
But, to be fair, I think they'll have too much for Down, though I don't think there'll be that much in it.
As for Donegal v Tyrone, can't see Tyrone doing it. 2 years ago Donegal were narrowly beaten by Derry in the Ulster final. They had a blip last year with management issues, but they are getting back to where they were. Tyrone on the other hand, seem to be slipping back and I'm not convinced by the management team. I'd imagine Donegal won't be as "up" for this match, but I still can't see anything other than a Donegal win here, maybe even a comfortable one at that.

Does sitting on a train, travelling through a country but not setting foot on it, count?
Or transitting through an airport?

Aye, technically you had both feet  in the country.  As well as the rest of ye 

Airspace, nah.

Some in Cork now questioning the value Horgan and Lehane bring to the team.

Pat Ryan under a bit of pressure this weekend

Can understand the level of criticism of the Manager but to call out two players who are just there because they are picked is a bit much.

Obviously no younger talent bursting down the door to take their place.

I am no fan of Cork either.

Is Harnedy in there also this year?

Cork are so inconsistent. What Cork will turn up?

No, no, no. You're only allowed say that about Galway. Other teams just face challenges of various severity.

Everyone bar Limerick is Galway now

Puthrid - Waterford
A gutless shower -Cork
Pure fuckin usheless - Tipperary
They threw it away -kilkenny
Watcb them f**k this up again -Clare
In the name of Jaysus - Galway
