We really need to stop testing. It's pointless at this stage.

The voicemails that people left for their loved ones. Tell the kids I love them... just unimaginable.

How did people expect anything different from our executive. Awol for 2 months while cases went through the roof. Michelle o Neill called boris johnson wreckless not long ago. Considering we have highest case and death rates in europe she has lost the very very small credibility she had left.
Parents will be over the edge in coming days and weeks.
If they didn't see this coming then they are not fit for purpose.

Totally correct

Thanks lads. She's not into reading much so probably no book, just the programme so she can learn the names I'd say.

She can come back with a negative PCR - not one appointment can I get - in fact you have to lie on the online booking as she doesn't fall into their categories - over 80 girls sent home - shit show doesn't come close.

Same in local secondary. Pile of 1st years sent home and no tests can be got. It's a f**king mess and the teaching unions are to blame for having them sent home. Testing children with no symptoms is f**king stupid. Children tend not to die or even get sick, there is minimal risk.
If unvaccinated people get the virus and get sick or die then that is on them. Time everything went back to normal including schools. We cannot continue to live like this.

Hearing a few stories of people who attend lots of games unable to get sorted and unlikely they'll get sorted at this stage.
I'm taking the wee lad and the wife (she hasn't been all year and not a big GAA fan tbh more of a day out for her). I got a ticket for her of a supplier so it'd been for some other eejit anyway. Some people are luckier than others.

Keeper kept Ireland in it. They were dire even of they did try to pass it around in a big circle going nowhere. The most fortunate goal you'll ever see. Unfortunate for Ireland that the Serbs gave it to them... Kenny will hang on another bit. He's out of his depth. I feel for Kenny but he hasn't the ability to get the best out of a very limited bunch of players.

I know a chap who works for AIG, who gets a freebie corporate ticket for every AI Final
And he from  a Munster hurling County!!
How about offering Corporates and Club officers free tickets to the AI semi finals and then having a draw for Final tickets among those who took them up?
I don't know how many Tyrone season ticket holders there were but surely the CB could have reserved a few for them.
Our CB put 10 of their share of 1,049 for the SFC game v Galway.

Listen it's an All Ireland Final, some tickets are of course going to be reserved for corporate sponsors.

Youd wonder has the man any cop on at all or just zero emotional intelligence? Its just so idiotic from him it beggars belief.

Oonagh Murphy putting her twitter account on "private" afterwards is bit hypocritical as well. She couldn't stick the spotlight long herself.

Is the bars open at the Aviva for the soccer? Group of us going tomorrow night

You'd want a hit of heroin never mind a pint to suffer that football at the minute...

Coronavirus: More than half of Larne High School pupils out of class

I think that Principal needs to catch himself on to be perfectly honest

Ridiculous. Absolutely f**king ridiculous.

Can anyone shed light on how many tickets Tyrone gave to clubs ?

Not sure yet but have some clubs allowed ticketmaster to sort their tickets while other clubs have done it themselves? Anyone else confirm this?

Confused about this one, clubs have given ticketmaster their allocation of tickets to hand out to its members or just random Tyrone supporters?

Is that because the club couldn't find enough people to take them or do they make money off it?

It is very confusing. The way I've taken it is that some clubs have possibly handed in a list of names of club members to ticketmaster to sort therefore washing their hands of it all, whereas some clubs have decided to not risk that scenario in case a club member that deserves a ticket doesn't get one? You only have to look at different clubs Facebook pages to see that not all clubs are reading off the same script on this.

At the Ulster final stage each Monaghan club (and presumably Tyrone?) handled applications from club members by holding their own draw but submitting the winners names and email addresses to Ticketmaster and the tickets were paid for and downloaded via ticketmasters online portal... A lot less messy for clubs i'm sure?

I know this cause I had to print out about 5 different sets of tickets for less 'technical' friends of mine 

Less difficult than heading to your club have a few pints/juice and get the tickets?

Personally I'd prefer to get a physical ticket, I've all mine in a tin box with all the programs from over the years

Easier for the club. No money changing hands, no people all meeting up to collect tickets, no people deciding not to take tickets last minute. Just less crap for a club to do.

I love the new way. It's straight forward and efficient. As you say takes a load of stress out of it for the clubs.

Madness in the Brazil/Argentina WC qualifier

The moment ANVISA personnel and Brazilian Federal Police walked on to the pitch during the Argentina vs Brazil match and stopped the game to detain the 4 Premier League Argentinian players who lied to enter the country and play the game.

It's crazy trying to play international football matches given the different restrictions in different countries.

Granted I'm not a big ROI fan but you'd imagine Kenny is on borrowed time. 1 win 15. It's not the LOI anymore.

Did everyone get tickets alright? Seemed to be no bother with club members who go to Tyrone games

Yeah no issues for anyone that coaches, takes a committee job, helps at fundraisers etc

Yes what what about the other half  and childer? They wanna go too...

No bother with tickets. Got one for the wife as well.
