Is Nunez still just a shit Andy Carroll?

Yeah. You know he is....except apart from when he's scoring winning goals. No player in the PL has scored more winning goals this season than the shit Andy Carroll.

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on February 27, 2024, 02:28:58 PMI've a friend who has not paid a penny back, he's done a law and masters in international law, he did his international law in Holland and has never come home to work, though he's never worked in law a day so far.. Works in sales in Denmark!

Will he only be liable to pay if he takes up residency back here? 

Yes, its collected through the tax system here. Unless he comes home to work and earns over £25k approx pa he won't have to repay it. 

Correcto....have told my childer to do that but they won't listen! 

My year was the last year of full grants so only had £3k of a loan for 5 years in Uni as I got my professional exams covered too!

Absolutely no way there was going to be a male DUP deputy FM. They needed someone high enough profile and the likes of Paul Givan or Gordon Lyons would not even consider it. The imagery of having a man 'subservient' to a woman would not sit well with them

McNulty has had the SDLP whip suspended but he can continue as an independent. The only way SDLP can do anything is if he resigns his seat and they co-opt someone on. If that happened it would likely be Pete Byrne. Problem they have is McNulty is very popular and is a 'figure'. They have died a complete death in south Armagh and south down and he is hanging them in there. Byrne is a much more competent operator and is the better person to be there but he doesn't have the profile. McNulty's father is old school SDLP and was at the forefront with Seamus Mallon from the very start so his son has a lot of wriggle room

Difficult to see how he deals with this without it turning into another Sancho.

End of the day you can't have players doing what he did during the week and not having consequences. Yes the profile is higher because of what club he plays for, but he knows this and still did what he did.

Severe lack of respect for the manager and the club in general.

Thompson's Garage though....imagine losing your job over Thompson's Garage!

That's where the kids go! Certainly my hunting ground 30 years ago lol!!

The lad is on a mission to get sacked, Madrid or Barca are no doubt filling some agents head with sweetie mice

Says it all....30 years ago!  Was just saying that in work, last time I was in Thompson's half our staff were not even born😂

Slippy G. Sign him up.
sure flopps useless him staying be a good thing surely?

He is and it is.

In all seriousness it will be a good case study in terms of can a club keep performing at a high level when they lose their manager. Does having all the proper structures negate the impact of losing him.

Surely the case study has already been done with Man United.

Bob Paisley replaced Shankly. Complete domination in England and Europe for next 8-9 years....

Gutted is an understatement. Hopefully Alonso is lined up

Quote from: AustinPowers on January 24, 2024, 06:27:26 PMSo Jeffrey was  threatened , by  an unnamed person(s).  Very convenient  ::)

So now he's  reduced the heat on himself and Colm  Eastwood even coming  out in support of him.

He should have  turned on the tears as well. That   would have  put the tin hat on it

Threatened by an unknown person who, when he checked hadn't voted!
How can he check if someone voted? I thought that was anonymous?
Can't be an unknown person if he knows them!

Whole thing is a deflection....ironic give  he said he wouldn't be deflected.

No sympathy for him, I don't condone threats, I mean the situation he and the dup are in. Its self made and we are all suffering for their party politics.

The person who didn't vote is wee Seamie I suspect. On the day of the election is was gurning as there was a Rangers game on that day and he was not able to vote,  according to him,  as he was away at the game. The references by wee Jeff and CCH to people on twitter is a clear shot at Bryson.

While I have little sympathy for Donaldson maybe he has grown a pair and publicly now has stood up to the back room bullies. Very pointed sitting in the HoC with all the DUP members in a row expect Junior sitting directly behind wee Jeff in the eye of the camera.

Quote from: JPGJOHNNYG on January 22, 2024, 07:30:30 PMPitch invasion on BBC iplayer about the Irish and Scottish footballers over the years was great. A reminder of when football was magic and full of personalities not like the dung on offer now. Also rather depressing reminder just how much Irish football has suffered since the influx of players from all over the world into the premier league.


Watch BBC over next few years spin the NI/Scots connection....

Quote from: gawa316 on January 22, 2024, 02:39:33 PMThat was a good win in the road with about half the team missing. Bradley has slotted in very well.

With all the red cards for 6 studs on the shin the season not sure how Kluivert's wasn't one.

Paul Tierney VAR....say no more

Quote from: bannside on January 22, 2024, 02:25:19 PMCredit where its due. Glen were persecuted for years as a townie club that would never deliver. You only have to go back to start of Derry thread here to see that. In fact all towns were written off, as the rural clubs were the predominant forces.

Then Coleraine won it and in time Magherafelt crossed the coveted line...before Glen kicked the doors down altogether  not just winning Derry, but Ulster and now AI.

People talk about tradition, I say go ahead and make your own history. Glen proved that.

Agreed on making your own tradition but that only happens in special circumstances. This is a very gifted group of footballers in Glen and in Glass they have one of the top 5 players in the country. They nearly threw it away yesterday but got over the line.

Question now is can they back it up?  Good teams win 1,  great teams back it up. Had yesterday taken the edge off them enough or are they hungry for more. Much will depend on how much Harte expects of them for Derry. The body can only do so much so back to back will be a huge ask
