The other thing I don't see mentioned. I thought it was a free to Barrs and not to Dingle.

Each decision should be made autonomously I would say. He should move it forward the same in the 1st second as the last one and the consequences on the outcome of the game should not come into play. At the end of the day the teams themselves are the ones who bring those consequences on themselves.

Does Lisburn have a Gaelic football team?

What the hell is wrong with Lisburn?

St Pats,'doing good work seeing as they have to arm wrestle the unhelpful local council and the MOD on pitches.

They've improved a lot over last number of years. It'd be good to see them up to top end intermediate or even senior. Lisburn always was a fight to get a team in with the demographics and seem a bitter place. I would have used to play them in lower leagues and they were dreadful but they have improved a lot and seem to be holding their own in division 2 which is good to see. I would expect them to keep improving.

So, they are very unlikely to be able to resolve the crisis with GP practices and in our hospitals.
I am in a family of 4 and whilst I don't want to say AI is wrong in case it seeks revenge on me, the figure for a minimum acceptable standard of living at 65K-75K for a family of 4 seems high or an acceptable standard of living is more than I expect.
And if the public sector is overloaded with folk doing little or nothing then at least it is people getting a wage. Without this our entire subsidised statelet would be even more screwed.


Yeah it is not fully just the fault of politicians now. There has been years of jobs for boys here and we have been over subsidised and are now paying the consequences. I also wonder how much of an impact Brexit has had.

An example if things that could be done - the NHS here should be one trust. That would remove bureaucracy and remove a lot of jobs but it would run much more efficiently. I don't work in it but I know people high up in it who have said that.

I think we are almost too small up here. The state we are in I believe the only way out is a UI and that is not an easy solution either because it would mean 26 counties instead of the. rest of the UK paying for us.

Self sustaining is not something we are and it is hard to see how we get it  :(

I would say Belfast would influence stats on nationalists and soccer. I would be surprised if there weren't quite a lot more playing soccer than Gaelic. There'd be a few other big towns too with that stat - particularly in Antrim. (E.g. there are nationalists in larne, I would wonder about ballymena too and then there's Lisburn).

I bought 3 2 pinters in the Limelight friday night and got 40p change out of 40 quid. Not cheap.

Quote from: Munchie on December 01, 2025, 08:52:11 PMDoubt it, at that stage they won't need a provincial ground in the 6, it will all be one Ireland, Clones will keep getting face-lifts maybe some new bogs, it might get an Armagh type ground at most.

Im sure Antrim would be happy with that

It's all we need. There has been no need for the saga that has gone on here.

i didnt mean to speak on Antrims behalf hah. As a recent blow in to North Belfast I would love to see this happening though

 ;D  I would love to see it happen but we have to be realistic and unless a much more meagre offering is looked for this whole thing may never happen.

First black player to score for united apparently. I suppose IIRC Viv Anderson was their first black player in  the early eighties?
