By some of these comments you'd nearly think Starmer was doing a good job. Britain's taxation levels are at 60 year high yet services continue to crumble. That's on him. Labour have been in power for 2 years with a massive majority and in that time have achieved sweet f**k all.

Nothing to do with "decent people" or "blaming Starmer". He has quite clearly led a useless government.

Cheer up Eoin.

A mature, considered response.

Eoin's right, the constant churn of fixtures, rules, structures, underage groups and split season is putting the casual fan off the GAA.

The GAA brass now have an addiction to tinkering, like Father Ted trying to take the dents out of the car. Every change brings with it 2-3 large consequences and yet the GAA continues to pile up the changes.

Is it not a bit strange for him to be living in Sheffield in 6 years and not have a word of English?

The jeopardy is that if you lose the next game your season is over. It's not complicated.

Which means the jeopardy is in the next round of games not this one.

Happy enough with that draw. Some high quality matches there.

It's a bit of a cod that a Cavan team who've been beyond atrocious this year are just a win against Westmeath away from a AI q-final.

They're not though

Sorry followed the format wrong.

Still there's not that much incentive to win given that your reward may be to play Donegal, Dublin or Kerry in their home patch.

Think round 1 winners should get home advantage

But the structure of it means that's impossible. Round 1 winners play another round 1 winner. And the alternative (a round 1 winner plays a round 1 loser) makes the format even more ridiculous.

I'd say the opposite to be fair. Donegal/Kerry the only standout fixture, the rest have a McKenna Cup feel to them.

I'll not berate this format too much for fear that we'd return to the dreaded "group stage" format that is just an aberration in Gaelic football. But let's talk about this round of games as what they are, win and you're still in the championship. Lose and you're still in the championship. There's pretty much next to nothing at stake here. I mean what interest does anyone have in a match where Cork play Meath and both remain in the championship? Or Roscommon v Tyrone?

Armagh style is hard watch. The short kickout and slow buildup is a real buzz killer.

And if teams (like Down) refuse to press their kickouts, then they're absolutely entitled to do this.

A load of runners and a kick out plan worked to death in training. There's not a whole pile of skill to it.

Do what Kerry do and set a zonal screen across the halfway line and the opposition 45, and attack every kickout with fury, and it takes some stones for any keeper to believe it's worth pursuing.

The Kerry zonal screen that Donegal cut apart in the league final? That zonal screen?

The enemy isn't the scroungers. People aren't good at putting numbers into perspective. The enemy is the 50 families who are richer than the 34 million people at the bottom.

The *real* problem is that a few wealthy people who are very adept at avoiding tax can never ever make up for 10s of millions of people earning decent wages and spending that on goods and services.

You are getting confused, there are no good tax dodgers. Cooking the books because you can afford it and cooking the bookies cause you are a lazy Cnut is the same..

The system is broken by those who can afford to hide their earnings and those who refuse to earn, thus leaving those who go out to make an honest wage end up paying for poor services they receive..

Stop separating things

Theres a world of difference in a boy scrounging a few thousand and corporations cleaning us for billions. Neither are right but one is on a different level

No, neither are right, if we all took the same attitude where do you think the place would be?

Even if everyone in the occupied territories cooked the books it wouldn't make a difference.You could fit 50 families into one of your "leisure centres" . They have more money than the rest of England North of Luton. That is the problem. Focusing on what your local scumbags do is missing the point.

Again, start a thread in the 50 families please. Start a thread about how the government can take their money.

But save me the shite, are you saying take their money and give it to the dolers?

This shite about the top 50 families too. Consider NI on its own, would the economy suddenly start to work if Stormont seized the wealth of Norbrook, Dimplex, Euro Auctions and Ovo Energy. Of course not.

I can't see how anyone could argue that the top 5 wealthiest people in NI are the problem with the economy or that they owe their wealth due to a closeness to the political class in London.

Hurson's inconsistency would put years on you.

Can someone in Clones please cut the cable to that behind the goals camera. I'd see as much watching the match from space.

Coventry back after 25 years.

From BBC

It has been 9,113 days since they were relegated - by a 3-2 defeat at Aston Villa on 5 May 2001 - with the Sky Blues then tumbling to the brink.

After spending 11 years in the Championship, they were relegated to League One and fell into administration in 2013.

A return to the top was a distant dream amid the dramas of two groundshares with Northampton and Birmingham, a detested ownership in Sisu, multiple protests and parliamentary mentions.

Sky Blues fans organised marches while there were also pitch invasions against an ownership who sold to Doug King in 2023 after 13 years, during which the club dropped to the fourth tier for the first time in 59 years.

Their resurrection comes under Frank Lampard and, after sealing their promotion on Friday with a 1-1 draw at Blackburn, the Sky Blues can celebrate again.

To credit Lampard with this is a joke. They were already an excellent well run club before he came along. He's done well enough for them but promotion was close to guaranteed with the team they've built and attitude at the club this last 5 years.

That's a big pile of shíte to stand along a hundred other piles of conspiracy shíte about the disappearance of Maddy.

An absolute load of horseshit. That some poisonous ould bitch he's talking to. Save yourselves some time don't bother watching this ramus of bollix.
