What about biological females in male prisons?
Biological females in male sports?
Biological females in male-only spaces?

Are those an issue?

If not, then one presumes that the wolf-in-sheep's-clothing-intent-on-creeping-or-rape is the real objection?

In which case, this issue has been around in terms of high prominence for coming up on a decade now. What are the stats?

Are men dressed as women a significant proportion of the rapist population out there?

I've been at my current employer for six years. They've allowed gender ID-based bathroom use that entire time. Despite tens of thousands of people around daily, I've never heard of a single report.

Armagh age profile not against then if they don't get sthing in the next 2/3yrs. Some of there best players are over 30

Yeah 4 massive players in Grugan, Forker, Murnin and Soupy all over 30 but I'd say theres a few years left in them yet. Grugan be the hardest replaced of those I think.

Loughmacrory should be concerned. Missing their 3 U20s and Donaghy on the seniors but Omagh also down men shows the lack of depth Lough have in their squad. They have lost a few important players to emigration and their must be internal fear of a relegation battle. Be a lot of expectations on McElholm and McCullagh this year.

No more word on McElholm going to Australian Rules or is that out the window now? He was very impressive last week against Monaghan in the U20s.

He was very impressive indeed, but anyone could have been impressive that night against Monaghan B team.
Bigger tests to follow for the U20's but so far so good.

Some hanlin that would be. End up the main contender for the Senior manager and that would set Tyrone back to about 1998.

Jim Devlin Cup quarter-finals:
Saturday 27th April @ 2pm

Clonoe v Errigal Ciaran
Trillick v Galbally
Dungannon v Dromore
Pomeroy v Omagh

3 teams with home advantage again.

Worth asking how that came about.

Just luck of the draw... thats the format first drawn out at home.

From the first round there were 3 home wins and 5 away wins.

Good point! Home team gets the gate!

Is it really? Most counties have goals at the start of the year, get promoted, avoid relegation, beat neighbours etc. do they really need a coping mechanism of devaluing competitions, I seriously doubt it.  There are about 26 counties under the new system never going win Sam, Derry don't need another Ulster but will probably win it, any other county would relish it.

I believe JoG2 was referring the fans attempting to devalue a competition as a defense mechanism for if they don't win it. Armagh will have failed this year (again) if they do not win Ulster. How anyone can think different is beyond me.

Armagh will have failed agreed, Armagh will continue to fail until the County Board grows a set and get rid of McGeeney but they aren't devaluing it.  Who's these fans devaluing it two people on a discussion board, most counties would love to win Ulster, doubt Fermanagh, Antrim and Monaghan are sitting there thinking as sure it means nothing.

Rumours that McIlroy is ready to jump to LIV.
That will be some u-turn for him, but maybe a sign that LIV are going to win eventually.
 

Also rumours that Rahm is heading back to PGA.

Things I don't expect to see:
- Rory joining LIV
- Ian Paisley hugging Martin McGuiness
- DUP sharing power with Sinn Fein
- Jim Alister in Stormont which is running the Irish Sea border
- Mickey Harte managing Derry hi

and of course
- Dublin being split in two (city and county) to give other Leinster teams a chance

Rory (as a player) and Tiger (as a non player) meant to be getting ownership of their own LIV team is what I heard.
And going the other way, the top performing LIV players will be allowed to play in some of the PGA signature events.

The PGA players who stayed loyal got royally shafted, any merger or compensation deal will have to involve big money going to these players.
