The Pitt is excellent. Really surprised as it's not the sort of thing I'd usually go for.

Where was young JJ Higgins tonight? Hurt?

Jj and Liam had all star trials the next day so opted out for the u20 game

Surely that's a joke ? If true shows how little it means playing for Antrim to them.

Perhaps blame could be cast upon the governing bodies for scheduling games so close together rather than having a pop at a couple of young lads.

It's embarrassing all round tbh

No way a trial should be coming before a competitive inter county game in any shape or form.

Yes Ulster Colleges should be aware of this clash and have done better but from an Antrim perspective this should be a no brainer of a decision.

Would love to know what the likes of the Tyrone and Derry lads would have done if faced with the same problem. An all star trial ahead of a county match is ridiculous imo. A lot of the all stars are picked on reputation anyway.

Not sure why people think Iran is doing well in this conflict? It is being systematically pulverised. Iran has got a lot of low hanging fruit in terms of it's resistance strategy - economic pressure, the choke point of Hormuz is an open goal and a plentiful supply of cheap drones that it can launch from anywhere, they've certainly a huge nuisance value, but to characterise as much more  than that is balls imo.

They don't need to "win" in a traditional sense to actually win the war as daft as that sounds, as long as they can keep causing economic hassle and keep firing missiles they're doing alright. By all accounts they've done a lot more harm to Tel Aviv than is being let on.

That's bollocks to be honest. Their infrastructure is pulverised as well as lots of their military facilities, their navy vessels and their air force. They've suffered tens of billions of damage and that's before we mention the thousands of citizen's who have died. All they've to show for their attacks on Israel and American is a few damaged streets in Israel and Americans paying more for gas. It's been a very expensive war for Iran no matter what the outcome.

America totally bombed the shit out of a lot of countries. Vietnam for example and they certainly didn't win that one. Is it not what it's always about, money and oil.

Anyone watch the AFL Final Siren series on Netflix?

Started there. I'd be a fan of AFL so have an interest in it but if you're not then it's just a copy and paste of the rest of those type of shows. Maybe it'll show more of the behind the scenes training days as the series goes on.

Just noticed that HBO comes free along with my sky package. Some good shows on it. Going to give The Pitt a go tonight here.

Rangers have another £16m put into the club. They're getting their shit together and Celtic are in free fall because of the owners who are asleep at the wheel ffs.

No, Rangers have said they plan on issuing £16M of new shares. Assuming they get that £16m, that is 8% of the club being sold to pay for transfers above what they can afford.

I'd rather a board to be asleep than diluting ownership for short term spending

Right i obviously didn't understand that. The other crowd seem delighted though and if it's more money into transfers we are fucked. When is the last time Celtic finished 3rd?

The only boxers that make serious dough are Heavyweights

He'll have to find work tomorrow unfortunately

I mean that he has made enough money to at least have the mortgage cleared and a holiday! There'll be no one at that level getting multi million pay days. Tough aul game.

The amateurs at his level are better off financially than most pros after they have had the government grants from both sides of the border.

Massive changes needed. It's hard to even think where to start though. This has been on the cards for a long time now though and it's finally caught up with Celtic. So disappointing.

Conlon had a great career in boxing. A career many would dream of. Just didn't seem to suit the pro game though. Hope he made enough to make himself as comfortable as possible. Good to see him retire even though he should have let it go a few years ago. That's a long time to be getting punched for a living.

Whatever happened with him and the family? Seems to have been a fall out. Was surprised when he wasn't at the brothers wedding.

Glorified friendlies at this time of year

Sounds like you lads need a little bit more red pill thinking.

On a serious note is it a sign you're getting old when you start saying you haven't heard of these fellas. The only one I had seen before was that HS TikTok fella. I nearly think Louis gave them more advertising than anything. As someone said those fellas who seemed sucked in by these grifters was complete cringe.

Livingston have folded.

So has another team

The curling is good stuff.

Can't get into it at all. Absolutely love the cross country skiing though. Looks brutally hard too. Your Norwegian fella is something else.

Klaebo? He's some operator.

That's him. Must be up there as one of the fitness men on earth. The Norwegians are brilliant at endurance sport for a country with only 5 million people.

Aye that footage of him running up the hill in his skis is nuts.

He was at it again in the 50k CC Ski event. Ridiculous level of fitness.

The club is in some mess at the minute. I can't remember it as bad.
