Quote from: Main Street on May 17, 2026, 09:29:55 PMAt the end of the 70min game, both teams went into the dressing rooms knackered. At the resumption of play ET Monaghan players were still knackered, falling to ground with cramp, yet not a bother on the Armagh players, bounced onto the pitch and played as fresh as a daisy, which begs the question - what was put into their apple juice drinks during the break?
Although you're clearly on the wind up your manager had a very strange take on that citing Monaghan having had extra time in the Derry match! If inter-county players can't recover from an extra 20 minutes football two weeks later he needs to be asking questions of his S&C coach.

We never do things easy and although clearly the better team overall Monaghan showed their resilience again in the fourth quarter.

Although there were very few poor performances from an Armagh perspective Oisin Conaty deserves special mention again. How lucky we are to have him.
.
Have you never observed Geezer at the end of a losing game for Armagh and his antics??
Bannigan had the microphone stuck in his face for comment at the game's end and I wouldn't read too much into what he said  re his pain or regrets, generally he comes across very composed and considerate unlike an ex monaghan manager of note. I think most Monaghan folk are right behind him and his capabilities.

didnt think there was much wrong in what your manager said to be honest

Quote from: JollyGreenGiant on May 18, 2026, 01:31:27 PMI just read an article about Celtic's success that opened with the line "All the right people are hurting today". In short, this solidifies my view that Scottish Football's lack of quality and long standing competition has been replaced by a culture war, and one-upmanship. If your first thought after success is to jeer the reaction and feelings of your opponents, it demonstrates how kicks are being found when it comes to the Scottish game.

you ever been to a Man United/City game? They both sing about each other regardless of who they are playing ffs

Quote from: J70 on May 17, 2026, 06:45:49 PMWell deserved for McGeeney. Some amount of work he's put into that team.

Congratulations Armagh ones. Best team in Ulster by a mile this year.
They drew 2 of their Ulster championship games. They deserved the title alright but that's a bit much IMO.

We won all 4 of our games

That article was a superb read. Good insight.

Quote from: From the Bunker on May 17, 2026, 12:18:58 AMThe running onto the pitch is getting ridiculous. It's giving the Club a bad name and we are beginning to look unsporting.

It will only take one fool to cause an incident and the good name of the Fans of the Club will be tarnished.

Today's invasion ruined the conclusion of the game. It was like missing the last minute of a good movie.


The club already has a bad name in a lot of parts. I lived in England for a long time. I heard about it loads.
I do agree tho. Wouldn't surprise me if we start next season with a ban on fans or something like that

Quote from: RedHand88 on May 15, 2026, 11:40:41 AMDo 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

Quote from: thewobbler on May 14, 2026, 11:47:35 AMOut 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?



They're not really Jewish apparently!

or not the right type of Jewish person
