Yeah - sounds a) plausible and b) like it could be huge if so.

More importantly - what is going on with this takeover?

Christ. Is it in crayons?

Yeah I think the TUV and Poots smelt blood with that food van thing and got nothing to follow it up.

Nolan was probably looking to boost the ratings too so would have been looking for any negative angle but thankfully nothing.

No agreed it's not an issue for the fleadh.

I think the loyalist bands playing was the right thing to do though. There still seems a lack of awareness though that the culture isn't very inclusive or welcoming.

The only two complaints I heard were about the hatch food takeaway (which apparently has had to shut in banbridge) playing whatever song it was and then there were apparently two "IRA bands" played somewhere I think on Friday.

Lockhart and Poots going mad on the former. The latter I have heard less about as it just seemed to be some random street stuff.

Your man Brett is a bit of a laugh too talking about a confident unionism. His party ethos seems to be vote for us to keep them ones out so maybe he should practise what he preaches and try and showcase their values rather than the value being we're not them.

All in all more or less no negativity which given the number of people at it is amazing.

What's he on about?

Eh? What do you want people to do?

Fabulous senior game today and great showpiece all round for camogie. The intentsity was top notch. Well done to cork, Antrim and Armagh.

I thought the three games were very good. Down woman player of the match too.

I was glad to see Armagh win too. It seemed a bit odd that an Armagh footballer was playing for cavan camogiers mind you.

McCormick is a serious operator and wouldn't be out of place in senior final. Young mcallister excellent too. Great win.

Seamus Coleman has been training for the last few weeks with killybegs and it looks like he might start for them in the championship??

Massive queue around 12 today. Haymarket and whites drawing massive crowds too.

Spent pretty much the last two days at the fleadh. Fantastic event. There were so many bars about you could always get a drink somewhere but that Donegal bar looked the busiest spot by a long way.

Plenty of stuff to do for kids too.

Some amount of musical talent about too - young and old.

Only followed the cargin game on twitter but they looked always ahead. Massive wins for dunloy and aghagallon and st galls won as expected. I had thought rossa maybe stronger than that. Sarsfields have done well to get where they are but probably the victim of a larger championship and big gaps between some teams.

Oops only realised portglenone won by 4 too so all to script so far...
