General discussion / Re: The DUP thread
January 30, 2024, 12:11:30 PM
Wee Jeff trying to polish a turd.  EU have said they expect the UK to fulfil its obligations under the Framework. Brexiter headbangers have said GB will continue to be able to diverge. A bit of tinkering at the edges and a lot of cosmetics.  If they go back this week, I give the Assembly 12-18 months before some other issue brings it down.

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on January 24, 2024, 12:49:49 PMAs bad as the All Star awards
How many all stars have antrim won ?
I think the allstars are a great way to recognise outstanding performance and that they are valued in GAA communities .
The Oscars are a whorehouse.

I think 6 - 1 in football (Andy McCallin 1971) and 5 in hurling (Ciaran Barr 1988, Dessie Donnelly and Klute McFetridge 1989, Sambo 1992 and Paul McKillen 1993)

Keane would be a disaster.  He's hasn't a clue about management.

Interesting move by SF to run Gildernew in the EU Elections in June.

Quote from: weareros on January 19, 2024, 04:33:28 PMDoes this money go away if the DUP do not go back in. Carmel Gates made them sound like the heroes of the hour on BBC last night, she wasn't going to criticise them in case they were holding out for more money.

The reluctance of unions to call out the DUP is yet more evidence that they're pretty useless organisations.  Holding out for more dough is a recipe for never going back..."'cause they'll offer us more next week"

English papers reporting that part of the "deal" is the renaming of the Green Lane as the "UK Internal Lane"  Is this what the DUP were holding out for?  It's gone beyond a joke.

If the DUP don't go back soon I think Stormont is finished.

Very little of the promised money is actually "new".  It's a con job by the Tories.

Antrim's Cathy Carey has announced her inter-county retirement.  Still only 33, she has played senior for 20 years!

It didn't happen in Tyrone, so probably not.

Didn't hear that particular interview but to be fair to the BBC I think their coverage has been quite good.  Victoria Derbyshire sitting in for Kuenssberg yesterday completely filleted that charlatan David Lammy.  He basically admitted he wouldn't criticise Israel as he wanted to be the next Foreign Minister in the UK.

One thing this crisis has shown is that Twitter is not a place to go to for news, discussion or any sort of nuance!

Yer man Jason Byrne seems to be a regular on LLS.  My dog is funnier.  I think Kielty is doing OK as a host.  The guests are shite.

The British Labour party, knowing the right wing press in London are ready to pounce, are tying themselves in knots.

General discussion / Re: The IRISH RUGBY thread

Superb game of rugby from start to finish last night.  Fine margins at this level as the cliche goes.  Charged down conversion (Kolbe must have started on the 22!) proved significant.  SA must be favourites but NZ are cute hoors.  The standard in the other two quarters looked well below the two big ones.  If SA play the way they did last night they'll put 40 points on Eng.
