Continually letting people into the country when there's nowhere to put them? You couldn't make it up.

so blame the govt... not 'foreigners' and don't burn down hotels/accommodation!!

International Law is above and beyond teeny extremist minds.

Isn't that the main issue that came out of McNamara's dismantling of Helen McEntee-were not enforcing the laws that are already on the books

Watched the interview with Martha from baby reindeer last night, the woman is either completely bonkers or telling the truth

I honestly would love a rule passed somehow somewhere that sellers cannot cross county lines.

Newry Shamrocks, Burren, Mayobridge etc are fundraising, and I'm happy to support it. But a club from e.g Derry? What in holy f**k are they doing taking GAA money out of Down?

If you arrive at my door the first thing I'll ask is "do you pay your senior manager?"
And if the answer is yes, then you can f**k right off


If you've money for that, then you've got your priorities all wrong.

Do managers in any clubs get their filled envelopes from club funds? Maybe they do, I'm not sure, but the ones I know of are all paid by benefactors (allegedly of course)

Sure then the benefactors could give the alleged 20k or whatever it is to the club to put towards facilities or whatever else rather than lining an outsiders pockets.

I'm with you there 100%. I'd say most though are already sponsoring or donating to the club as well right enough

Same line-up again for Donegal except Patton is in the team. Wonder will he play?

No sign of Eoghan Ban or Conor O'Donnell back in the squad yet.

For all the rightful praise Patton got for the Derry match, Armagh did a number on him in that qualifier two years ago. We had been completely on top and playing our best football for a couple of years and then in the last ten minutes of the first half, Armagh squeezed up and won a few Donegal kick-outs, forced Patton to go short and then turned over three short kick outs in a row, resulting in a goal from a penalty (Patton black carded) and a couple of points if I remember correctly. Game was over there and then.

One of the ones at my door recently is a senior club which I won't name. They are not raising for a hub or new facilities or that, its just to raise money for the club.
I'd imagine that's where the money raised will end up.

Antrim / Re: Antrim Football Thread

Championship form doesn't always come from a brilliant league campaign, that said Cargin have always brought good energy to the league, a bit like Loughgiel in the hurling, so if you have a good result against these teams in the league you aint doing too bad.

Been impressed with Ballymena this year, sometimes its takes a while for tactics and so on to bed in, also a bitta luck with the league changing, again in hurling that worked out very well for St Enda's to bed in some good youth into their senior team and they have maintained that level for a while now.

The squad size and players fighting for positions on the starting 15 is also a big factor..
