I presume you were at the Down game yesterday, they would have been better trying to win by playing football instead of trying to get men sent off.

[Galway]

Armagh v Galway
Kerry v Roscommon
Monaghan v Tyrone
Donegal v Mayo

Meath v Dublin
Derry v Clare
Louth v Cork
Limerick v Kildare

Antrim v Cavan
Down v Longford
Fermanagh v Westmeath -Draw
Tipperary v Offaly

Carlow v Sligo
Waterford v London
Wexford v Wicklow
Leitrim v Laois

I'll be satisfied with a draw too.

Some change to this time last year when the 4-0 win was met with a "meh"!

Firmino is a club legend. But probably correct decision all around. Can't stay fit.

He will hardly play much between now and end of season given this announcement?

I am getting some laugh at all you clowns sticking up for this whole trans issue, coming out with words like transphobia etc 
Catch yourself on you fools you are part of the problem. These people should not be given the time of day. The more media coverage etc the more our young people are exposed to this nonsense, thinking this is the norm when it really is not!
If you want to be a transexual knock yourself out, i really couldn't care.... until it starts effecting me and my childrens rights/safety
If you want to identify as a horse i couldn't care less.... until they start running around the track at cheltenham.

Aye because young people just "decide" these things and they decide them based on what they watch on the news 😂😂

I just hope your kids aren't harbouring any deeply suppressed feelings or urges. Might just drive you over the edge

Why is the rate exploding in young people? Why is it higher in English speaking countries?

Pushed more - Doctors and Pharmaceutical companies  can make a lot of money for ongoing healthcare/procedures

Some waste of money.

Well lads will there be many of ye coming down to witness your beating on Sunday?

What about female to male trans players wanting to play men's sports? Are there safety concerns for them? Purely anecdotal but I've seen a lot more female to male than male to female trans people among the younger population.

I don't think any male that wants to be a female would have most interest in playing sport probably more into makeup and love island.

I don't think shopping by consumers will be affected, not sure about Cash and Carry type places.
The Irish side should absolutely get the visa thing and other issues sorted now. SF don't bother with such things, tourists do not vote.

This part sounds like it will impact shoppers and supermarkets/retailers on border:

54.As a result, there is now considerable underlying regulatory divergence North and South:
● The majority of retail shops in Northern Ireland will sell a large range of consumer goods and foods which cannot be sold outside Northern Ireland - goods which cannot be transported over the international land border with Ireland and the EU, and which may indeed be banned entirely in Ireland (including staples such as Lincolnshire sausages)

They must be going to check shopping bags at the border !

I know 4 transgender teenagers and I regret to say in all 4 cases it's flat out attention seeking

Would any of them make a good fullback or midfielder?

It's a difficult topic. I can see issues from both sides. The only certain thing about it, is that it's going to be a real hot potato for organisations to try and manage delicately.

Its a very difficult topic.

And I don't know the answer.

But scaremongering about perverts and denying the existence or humanity of these people is not it.

I fully agree with this. It will be difficult and while I support it I wouldn't be in favour of any person saying they're female and wanting to play ladies football

There's more to it than just rocking up with a ponytail and saying you're a female and wanting a start on the ladies team but it's certainly a hot potato that the LGFA are trying to grasp for the right and wrong of it..

Oh I know that mate. It is a hot potato and as I've said previously, fair play to the LGFA

I wouldn't say that they pushed this through without discussing it with there members or even having a vote on it.

Why would you support it if you are not in favour of it?

I didn't say I wasn't in favour of it. I am not in favour of any guy rocking up and saying they're female in order to play. There has to be some checks and balances applied.

It really is madness the world is gone mad

Hi Lads

Heading down to Kerry on Saturday to watch the football. Staying in Kilarney, what is my best way getting to and from the Tralee to watch the match?

Helicopter !

I wonder will we get many girls who identify as boys togging out for the local team we could be doing with them the numbers are low.
