Is the  train  into Drumcondra an option for Ulster teams? From the likes of Dunboyne/Enfield?

Dunboyne just off the M3.
There's a massive car park at the Station there.
Too awkward for most of ye I'd imagine,  but Maynooth usually has a train every half hour but hard to find parking (unless you have in laws there 😁)

I see

Northside seems to be the worst served  in terms of  transport. South and West  well served with Park&Ride at Luas /train stops. 

Any word on that  Dart extention to Drogheda?

Or the underground thingymajig from the  city to Dublin airport?

Is the Derry direction of travel in management terms not blindingly obvious here?

Not to mention you are implying Aluko isn't competent to talk about ladies soccer.

I can't see a place where i said Aluko was incompetent.

In fairness she explains herself fairly well here....

So if she's not incompetent, then she's hardly a surprising choice as a pundit for the ladies World Cup. But that wouldn't fit the narrative you're pushing and fits with the picture that your more worried about the labels being attached to people than actual racism or abuse of woman's rights.

Nothing strange about it. The league play-offs are in the master fixtures for next weekend.

Didn't see that news coming! Yet again I don't see any internal 'derry' candidates capable of taking the role. Gilligan and Muldoon the closest but even then I don't know if they've ever been in the lead role. Paddy Bradley or Johnny McBride, both unlikely. Same with Barry Dillon.

The Dungiven manager probably the closest thing we have but he's a few years away, hugely promising though

I keep hearing Bradley and Mc Bride as potentially viable candidates, what is this based on?
Winning Intermediate championship and I'm not sure who Johnny has managed.

Bradley managed Newbridge and didn't set the world on fire and got a very short stay in Clonoe (Open to correction) at the start of this year.

Surely we need more that that for a team that is considered 1 of the top 7/8 in country.

1st and 4th places for Irish riders today.

Outstanding performances. Over the moon for Ben Healy.

I thought Michael Burns contribution was somewhat overlooked, after being introduced in the 2nd half v Armagh. He was overshadowed by Sean O'Sheas performance and the return of Paudie Clifford but I felt he really laid down a marker when he was brought on.

+1
He played a significant role in the Kerry gear shift.
