[Let's just say if I was there he would have no legs to stand on!!!]

An absolute disgrace what happened tonight. This thug will be getting jail time that's for sure. Bringing a knife to a football game just goes to show the coward he is. Let's just say if I was there he would have no legs to stand on!!!

Would he not aye? You'll do f**k all

[50+1 would be too unstable]

Would nationalists accept a 50%+1 against?

Yes, of course. With the demographics the 1 would have already died when the count took place, so just have another referedum after 7 years with plenty of clarification in the meantime.

50+1 would be too unstable . Brexit was won 52:48 when most voters had no idea what Brexit meant and it has been a clusterfuck that sucks political energy and goes nowhere.

Tough shit. That's the way it is.

Or even "losers consent". That's a new one
50%+1 will be enough whether they like it or not

This notion of a needing a "supermajority" or 50%+1 not being enough is pure rubbish and will never be a requirement in the passing of a border poll.

Anyone young people from here calling themselves city fans are laughable. They're glory hunters therefore they can't be taken seriously. As plastic as the club itself.

Read that back to yourself. Demeaning

I did. I would double down on it even further and say same goes for the new generation of Newcastle fans that will pop up when they start winning things too. Especially if they have family members that support a different team and they actively choose to 'support' them.

Yes indeed, he spent a summer working at the Coke-Cola factory at Lambeg.

That's where he gets it from then

Time will tell EOC, can't see how the availability of 6 senior county panellists won't greatly improve them. Rossa gave us their fill of it as usual. Second time in a few weeks we have come from three or four down to grab a point!

No one sitting the world on fire atm. Still early days.

They're not 6 senior county panellists though.

[From a Junior Club who can't get out of Div 3, bottom of the Tyrone barrell I've seen them play a load and they would be top half Div 1 in Antrim.]

Pains me to say in-laws are  Tyrone... From a Junior Club who can't get out of Div 3, bottom of the Tyrone barrell

I've seen them play a load and they would be top half Div 1 in Antrim.
Full of Hogan Cup winners, pace and doggedness, boys with maybe limited sporting ability who are just hardy and brute ignorant and  wouldn't let a man go past them. We let men waltz up the middle  (look at Armagh senior game) and score in a way they never would accept

We might get the odd 'I'll knack yer ballix in" slabber hit a Judas,  cowardly dig from behind your back in an Antrim league game but about as hard as fcuk-all in comparison to the boys above, not worth a f**k

They have a depth in that County we could only dream of matching

The sport is the County's Culture, its who they are and their teams are how they pride themselves. We just don't have that.

Like nearly every non GAA playing girl in their county would nearly know who they are playing that weekend and not have a bad word said about their county......that level of passion filters down to each child and they all want to play for their county.

She's 2 cousins who started and won underage all irelands in last year who can't make full Tyrone Senior squad.....they would both start for and massively improve Antrim Seniors.

The levels are just night and day

Interviewing Henry Sheeflin and  fawning over and clapping his achievements won't change that, it might get us some money, which all Counties need to keep operating

Realistically Leitrim won't win an All Ireland in 10 or 20 years and neither will Carlow and neither will we. We can keep trying but our ceiling will never be that high. Unless schools all start competing in McCrory etc that won't change. Clubs too, demanding more of players,  coaches who know the sport and coach with a higher level in mind

Other Counties like Tyrone, now with Ballygawley, Donaghmore  and Carrickmore in McCrory are massively widening the gap

No they wouldn't

Get it right up the 4th official and Richarlison too

Unrelated UK pensions question
What is the best plan of action for someone with 5-6 different pensions from the same number of jobs to combine them into one?
Each pension pot would be about 2-3 years worth of payments before moving into next job

I'm not an expert but I assume there's a downside with fees on multiple pots adding up.  Putting them all into one pot takes away that problem, but then you've all your eggs in the one basket so if it doesn't do well then you're losing.  So looks like a trade off?

You'll probably pay more fees moving them all into one. Could be better to leave them all where they are and take a tax free lump sum from them all, then take payments on the rest from multiple pots, but each persons own situation will need to be assessed in more detail obviously

Leinster is a club, as are the rest of them.

It's not though. The IRFU own 4 teams and use their other hat to tie down intenational players. Leinster wasn't set up like clubs were. It may have been the right approach but they aren't comparable to actual clubs

It is a club, we're not in America here😂 They don't "own" them they just partly fund them as they come under the IRFU umbrella, but sure that's no different to any of the clubs in England either. They largely have the autonomy to manage themselves and their own province.
