The Mickey Mouse degree thing is a good idea tbf

Would going to Oxford and studying Classics, ancient languages, literature, history, and philosophy be considered a Mickey Mouse degree?

I was forced to watch Legally Blonde the other night and believe it or not it was a pretty decent comedy.

Legally Blonde (the original) and White Chicks are my guilty pleasures.

National Service for all 18yo's...
Tax relief on rented property
Cancelling "Mickey Mouse" degrees.

The Torys are throwing out policies two to a dozen to see if any of them will actually get traction with voters.

What a disgusting piece of sh1t....

This is the the type of person "Christian" conservatives vote for. Tell me this, if you lived in Gaza and were fit and able, how could you not join Hamas when you see what is going on around you.

Maybe now some of you will believe myself and J70 (when it comes to how the Democrats and Republicans differ when it comes to Gaza)

Democrats just gave them the bombs and Haley wrote a message on it. Which is worse? Yanks are morons in general.

Believe whatever you want

If Haley and the republicans were in power the bombs would still be raining down on refugee camps in Rafah and Gaza.

Both Republicans and the Democrats are pieces of shít.

Believe whatever you want

Explain to the Palestinians what the difference is.

Abbott says Labour wont have her and Starmer says he doesnt know what she's on about.

Shambles from Labour, but I doubt it will cost them a huge amount of votes.

The Muslim vote may not turn out and that may have an impact on several potential Labour candidates.

Starmer, Lammy and Nandy in particular are in the claws of the Israeli lobby and their funds.

Also at the minute we dont need to be debating potential managers. Id hope Gleeson in the next week or so would commit(along with all the players) to at least another year.

He'll be waiting to see what the likes of his home county and maybe Galway do in relation to their current managers now that they've exited the championship a bit earlier than they'd have liked.

If you are going to give it to someone, internally or not, you just can't go lumping someone else in with them just to suit a certain perceived bias or balance, i.e. Horse with someone from the city!

Whoever you give it to needs to live and die on their own sword and let them bring in whoever they need or want as in the end it's them that will have to work with the whole team, coaches and all.

Don't know a thing about Collins other than the bit about Bush loving his "let's not be conquerors" speech. What's he done since?!

He's dined out on that since.

A bit like that móron, Johnny Mercer, no real intelligence to speak off even through the plummy voice.

Good win in Croke Park for the U20's. Although it is B grade, hopefully encourage a number of the players to buy into the county system. Good year for the senior hurlers, Division 3 and Joe Mcdonagh status retained - however lack of clubs providing hurling making it difficult to push to next level.

There's more clubs providing hurling than there ever was in Down, the All county P4 and P6 blitzes have kids from teams and area's that haven't fielded in such a long time and in good numbers and long may it continue.

Galway down to 14 men against the Dubs. It has really changed the course of the game with Dublin coming back into it.

Plus they'll be against the wind in 2nd half.

A red card for me. Reckless when ball was gone.

Thought red was severe... yellow for me

Probably was an orange card, too much for a yellow but not enough for a red for me anyway.

Again this happens in any of the Munster games and its barely a foul, yellow at most. The levels of consistency are ridiculous across the country.

Antrim had a man sent off the week before for a tap on the helmet, Kyle Hayes full on welts across the neck and face and its a yellow card. Crazy.

And Carlow got a lad sent off for pushing someone to the ground in a bit of a ruck...

That would just be manly hurling in Munster.

Getting to the U20 final again is the 3rd All-Ireland underage appearance in a row for Offaly. Though this is mainly with the same nucleus of players all along. 11 of the starting 15 will be underage again next year.

Yeah, they looked very young and were overpowered by Cork last year, so it will be interesting to see how they manage against a Tipp team that were outhurled everywhere but the scoreboard in the Munster final and have a very decent full forward line with Darragh McCarthy the new rising star of Tipp hurling who's racking up the medals a fair bit and probably has another year at this level as well.

Yep, Offaly's chances against Tipp are better. They play more conventionally and don't dominate physically or with possession to the same degree.

Big rumbles in Offaly now because the match is already a sell out via Ticketmaster and there is no separate ticket allocation for Offaly clubs. Tipp took 5k for their clubs.

Saw that. Was that not on Offaly County board though?


Nowlan Park pitch looked a bit of a mess on sunday, not to mention there's no floodlighting if it goes to extra time on Saturday night

Word on the streets is that in North Down Alex Easton will be the "unified" Unionist candidate (i.e. TUV/Reform and DUP), but if he gets in he'll allocate his Stormont MLA post to a certain Donaghadee Bin Orator..

Alliance maybe planting this seed to scare anyone with a titter of wit away from him.

Tim "Nice but dim" Collins won't cause much of a wave in this area. Doug Beattie has made a major faux pas here in picking a fellow army buddy.

Its clear every interview how much respect Gleeson has(two way thing)
I think outside is the only way, long term i think our goal is just maintain Div 1 and Senior champ. This chat of Leinster finals etc. Weve a lot of good years left in our top performers, we need a conveyor belt of talent coming to support them. Easier said than done

There are probably a lot of fellas in the county of senior club level but not at a county level s&c wise. Decky McCloskey for example

Surely wee Micky McShane has to be in with a shout if Gleeson moves on?

You might be right. Me I am not sure about it. The thing about it is though Burke didn't have to make the hit. He deliberately laid the man out and left the ref with a decision to make. The ref didn't have the benefit of slow motion replays and after consulting with the linesman Burke was gone.

It cost Galway the game and possibly Henry his job

Not so sure it cost them the game - they had a strong Salthill wind  behind them in the first half.
And let's face it they've been sh*te all year. Were not going to be contenders one way or another

Galway have indeed been shíte this year, a team on the wane and needing fresh legs to carry the fight which was sadly lacking on Sunday, and in Wexford and in the game against a Kilkenny team shorn of a lot of it's scoring threat.

Burke had no need to do what he did, the ball was gone and whilst I think he did pull out of it a bit himself he can't be surprised that a red was shown considering the directive on head hits that referees are rightly enforcing except I might add the one on John Conlon in Thurles, which to my mind was worse, as Conlan had no chance to brace himself. Ref consults with the Linesman, yellow!
