Imagine the uproar in the media if a Man Utd was bombing like Wirtz.
0-0-11 now in the Premier League.

But there is uproar? Type his name into Google. Did  the Liverpool lads make fun of you growing up?

Off course there are people taking the piss and there always will be. But it isn't near on the same scale as those at the other end. Multi nationals paying feck all tax, those at the top ripping the piss out of it lining their own pockets, water companies literally pissing and shitting all over us. The list goes on.

Why not be equally of not more so outraged by these things? Proves my earlier point about distraction.

Because there are alot lot less billionaires than there are benefit cheats.

Useless p***k,  off on his travels yet again, pontificating & pretending he's important.

It is good to see his ability to engage in joined up thinking.....flying to Brazil, to spout about global warming.

Meanwhile, the Minister for Emptying Prisons, David Lammy, thinks it's important to spend his time purchasing a new suit.

Still, I suppose we shouldn't complain, given that other cabinet ministers get benefactors to pay for their clothes.

He's the prime minister. He is somewhat important.

Life expectancy has risen by 6 years in the last 20. This alonh with the baby boomers reaching retirement means the pension bill has sky rocketed.

[Immigration be it illegally or legally has been happened for hundreds of years and migration since time began]

This coming from a social migrant!

I've absolutely no problems with anyone trying to better themselves in a country that has better than their own, if they want to invent reasons for that then that's on border control to shift through.

Unless you have read every report or interviewed them personally then I'll take the word of those who have, rather than your ramblings

Immigration be it illegally or legally has been happened for hundreds of years and migration since time began

Some countries will give anyone a visa or citizenship, you being case and point so I wouldn't concern yourself too much

This may be true, but the scale at which it's happening is unprecedented. Remember, more people have moved here in the last 25 years, than moved here during the plantations. But that was a great boon to this country, so let's have more of it!

The population during the plantations was about 1 million.
Now it is 7.2 million.

You are an absolute weapon.  🤣

Trying to fix 14 years of Tory rule will have many more speed wobbles.. If they're given time that is.

They don't have the support of the left of the party who want endless spending, look how they got in when trying to tackle the welfare bill (and it was only footering round the edges).

Is it just me but should there not something be done about the huge profits some companies are making in the UK, maybe increase the tax levels on profit at a certain % of revenue.

The reason for inflation the last few years was not over demand by the consumer it was greed by the energy companies and supermarkets taking huge profits.

The UK has a very progressive tax system. What people don't understand is that if you tax these companies to the hilt they will just leave.

Debt is spiralling, public spending and people's dependence on it is forever rising.
There is only one option, balance the books.

I have a Kress myself, not the GPS one you've linked but the older one which uses a boundary wire. All in all it is excellent. You can really notice the difference between the back garden which has the mower, and the front garden which does not (too steep a slope).
Only maintenance is changing the blades every six weeks or so which is a 10min job.

We're back.

Yip, no dodgy stick users on this site

Doubt they're enslaving many children are they?

Lol you have no idea if they do or don't. What make of phone do you use?

Anyone ever get one of these and do a comparsion with the official jersey regarding quality?

If so, much of a difference?

I see they do GAA jerseys also. Interesting. Decent selection also.

I think there's another similiar company also but can't remember their name. 

Yes 100%, only thing that can be a bit fragile is number/name on the back after repeated washes. Of course being 37 years of age I would never do such a thing anyway so it doesn't affect me...

I saw ones complaining recently that the Elite version of the new liverpool kit (£120) was washing off after a few washes so it's no different.

A jersey I always liked back in the day, but awful hard to get, is the navy Elonex Wimbledon jersey from 94-ish.  Probably grown out of that phase now, but still try and look it up every now and then, can never see the right size, and a couple of years ago they were mad money.

Iconic!

Reading Limmy's Autobiography, got it for £3.55 of Amazon used books, first I'd heard of that service tbh.

Very funny guy, shocking that he's never made it into the mainstream. Don't think any of his stuff was ever shown outside of BBC Scotland on terrestrial TV back in the day.

Didn't know he had an autobiography but his YouTube videos are class. Should see what he says about James Corden/Cilla Black lol.

Down and Fermanagh both had packages of £25 for all three finals (Fermanagh £40 for all games across junior, intermediate and senior). While in Tyrone, for finals alone we have had to pay £17, £18 and £19 totalling £54. Genuinely a disgrace, the county board should have a very hard look at themselves. Every individual involved in Tyrone Tv should hang their heads in shame.

Lol the Down and Fermanagh championships are utter dung. Tyrone is a bargain by comparison, despite being more expensive.

Have people never heard of the term 'supply and demand'? Would a ticket to a Man Utd game would be the same price as a ticket to a Salford game?

Since 2000 only 2 counties have received less funding from the gaa than Tyrone despite the fact that Tyrone are not only among one of the counties with the highest number of members and players, but during that time won more all Ireland titles in total at minor, u20/21 and senior than any other county.  So Tyrone have had to rely on raising their own funding in order to build the facilities in Garvaghy and funding towards their successful youth development. With the large purchase of streams all over Ireland for their club championship, and with the disadvantage of little funding from the gaa, the club championship has give Tyrone an opportunity to raise funds. 

Surely If any other county were able to sell 10k tickets and 20-30k streams at £19 for their club final would they honestly prefer their county board to lower the price, so that it would save people a few quid even though their county would lose out on thousands?

If it was £16 people would yap.

If it was £13 people would yap.

If it was £10 people would yap about having to pay to watch an amateur sport where the players aren't paid.
