The difference John Conlon makes cannot be over stated.

His ability to read the game is unreal and the rest of the Clare defence raise their game with him in there.
Tipp had one, maybe two chances for goals, Quilligan was equal to them whereas they were conceding goals for fun prior to this.

A trip to the Lee for Clare with a place in the Munster final up for grabs.

Tipp look gone now.

A wee bit of fire in this one.

Good win for the Dubs there.
I like them when go direct to big Hetherington and with the bigger Hayes along side him, they're a handful

[I do share the KK fatigue. That county never stops winning!]

Top teams in Munster are Cork and Limerick - full stop. I think Galway would be up to any of the rest of them. They could even be dark horses against the other two, but something tells me they'd disappoint.

I do share the KK fatigue.  That county never stops winning! They look to be having an off year(will we see King Henry as their next manager in the near future?).  However the Black Cats have nine lives.  I wouldn't expect it but would not be shocked if they retain top honours in Leinster.  They've such a psychological advantage over the other counties.  Regarding their imminent demise, the posters doth protest too loudly.

That's just it though, they have stopped winning, at most levels, bar their regular Leinster final victories. It's after that things go downhill for them. No guarantee Henry is a silver bullet to cure this malaise either.

Most counties would settle for a provincial title all the same.

If they don't get out of Leinster then Lyng is gone for sure, in fact I'd say he's gone anyway and TBH I can't see Shefflin getting it whilst Cody is still around.

[really]

Do we not have an Israel thread for all this crap? It's annoying the same 3 or 4 people polluting every thread with it over and over perpetually. Not everyone is going to agree with your POV. Accept it and move on.

Back to labour.
Has anyone considered the possibility that Burnham doesn't win the by election? They did really really badly there in the council elections last week. Different kettle of fish in a general of course with a potential future leader on the ballot, but he has a huge gap to close. It may be a bridge too far?
How do Makerfield voters feel about their constituency being used like this by the Burnham side of Labour?

could be why starmer isnt gonna block him from running this time round

Kevin Flathead?

Close, but no cigar.

It is Tommy Torx, the famous Stoke false number 9, ideal for unlocking secure defenses.

He was so good they named a screwdriver after him to keep the lights on.

If Galway do come up against a Cork or Limerick there will be no surprise if they lost, but all will depend on the type of loss.

At the start of the year I'm sure all of Galway would have taken the hand off you if you'd said they'd be safe in Div1A and be top of the Leinster championship after resoundly beating Kilkenny, Offaly and Kildare, almost guaranteed to come out of Leinster and a Leinster final berth secured.

Winning a Leinster is probaby the target now, and it really should be although there is time for the wheels to come off O'Donoghues wagon.

I don't see it though as Dublin will provide a sterner task than Wexford and one win from those will secure the final shot.
I'd say all of Galway wants to see Kilkenny fail to get to a Leinster final as they still are Kilkenny, who can turn up in a big way in finals. This year that seems a big step up, but no one of my age will ever rule out the hoors.

Wee Seamus is hanging up his boots at the end of the season.

He is there 17 years, are testimonials still a thing?

The beauty about this is that it sets it up lovely for Celtic to win on Saturday and the moonbeam conspiracy theorists like Bryson genuinely will end up be escorted away by the men in white coats!

Why does anyone give that p***k the time of day?

He needs the oxygen of exposure to keep relevant, suffocate the hoor.

City struggled to create for the first half hour against Palace but once the first goal went in it has always looked like nore would follow.

Currently 2-0 to City

Won't matter.

Arsenal will pummel Burnley on Monday at the Emirates and then beat Palace on the Sunday.

City could well drop points away to Bournemouth before that.

Out of curiosity, do some posters on here have a full time "Jew radar" on the go, or how do you seem to be able to identify politicians in all countries as being in Israel's palm, with such conviction?

Maybe yis are just more well read than I am.

Follow the money.

Labour Friends of Israel is a good start.

ANTI-SEMITE!!

you have to be persecuting Semites before you can be called an anti-semite.

Ashkenazi's aren't semites but you knew that anyway.

I was being tongue-in-cheek. I refer you to post #593.

I was indeed being pedantic with my comment about Ashkenazi's not being semites and Gallsman comment about it being "widely understood" is accepted at being anti jew, if being incorrect is probably the accepted understanding, yet the IHRA description of anti-semitism bundles any criticism of Israel as also being anti-semitic.

Those who felt the need to bundle the state of Israel as being an entirely Jewish entity and hence criticism is anti-semitic have done more harm to the Jewish people than they envisaged.

There are plenty of Jewish groups who support and attend the Pro Palestine marches in both London and NYC, so where do they stand on the anti-semitic scale?

Agreed.
