Bennycake thinks he's shite no doubt

CPN double digits and that's no disrespect to Longstone as they are a great club but the golf between 1 and 2 is a lot
Ryan McAleenan also back in the frame for us
Good luck to all competing teams

I think United had no choice but to sign Ronaldo, if he had gone to City it would have been a huge symbol of United's decline and being surpassed by City.

The U.S. could help by ending the non stop 100% support of the rogue State of Israel.
Biden won't even call for a truce ffs!
The EU need to pull all their Ambasdadors out of Israel, shut the Israeli embassies and cease all trade or other dealings with them.

So what are factors that keep the US out of Israel and not other countries? Would the current and previous governments lose elections over this and that's why continue to 'turn an blind eye' ?

Is there a wealthy benefactor that has a huge say in the politics of Israel? 

How governments with some sort of influence and not get involved is very telling.

AIPAC is the answer in the US, the only place where it really matters given Washington's level of support for Israel.

May as well make Dublin the 5th province for GAA purposes, they can join the All Ireland series in the preliminary semi final stage like the British club champions.

And Benny will be delighted to know that DDG isn't with the match squad.

Well that's where we would all be if there was no lockdown or other measures to prevent the spread of Covid.

Were hospitals and ICU units all over the world overrun by Aussie Flu? Maybe that's why there was no lockdown then...

019 has seen the highest number of patients on trolleys in any year since records began – despite it still being November.

As of today, 108,364 people have gone without beds in 2019 so far – breaking 2018's record high of 108,227, with a full month left to go in the year.

The figures count patients who are admitted to hospitals but do not have a bed. They are typically on trolleys in corridors or on chairs. The INMO counts the numbers in 32 hospitals each morning at 8am.

The INMO is calling for extra staffing and an increase in hospital, homecare, and community capacity to deal with the problem.

The union has invoked health and safety laws for staff, writing to the Health and Safety Authority and HIQA, seeking their intervention.

In 2019 so far, the worst-affected hospitals are:
University Hospital Limerick: 12,810
Cork University Hospital: 10,136
University Hospital Galway: 7,409
South Tipperary General Hospital: 6,383
University Hospital Waterford: 5,875
Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, Dublin: 5,572
INMO General Secretary, Phil Ní Sheaghdha, said:

"Winter has only just begun and the record is already broken. These statistics are the hallmark of a wildly bureaucratic health service, which is failing staff and patients alike.

"We take no pleasure in having to record these figures for a decade and a half. We know the problem, but we also know the solutions: extra beds in hospitals, safe staffing levels, and more step-down and community care outside of the hospital.

"Five years ago, hospitals like Beaumont consistently faced the most extreme overcrowding problems in the country. They reduced that problem by adding beds and growing community care. Other services can do the same and must be allowed to do so.

"No other developed country faces anything close to this trolley problem. It can be solved, but a strong political agenda to drive change is needed.

"The INMO has written to the health and safety authorities this week to try force a change from the employers. Hospitals should be a place of safety and care – not danger."



This is a health service crisis.

It's not quite the constant wail of ambulances and army trucks taking lorry loads of coffins away like we saw in Italy in spite of the lockdown, is it?

[I also hear the county board are trying to put together the minor management from several of the applicant teams]

Lotto what wobbler is saying is that a full apology was made during the week at the county board meeting
You need to talk to your club rep for the details

Thanks for clarifying that smurfy, I wasn't sure what wobbller meant when he told me to ask my Club's County Board Rep about what what went on at the last meeting! Neither of you pair can say what the apology was for so I take it more lies were told.

I also hear the county board are trying to put together the minor management from several of the applicant teams, hard to see how that would work.

Did your CB Rep tell you that?

DDG was pushed in the back as he jumped, Maguire and the Sheffield keeper challenged for the ball and Maguire had eyes on the ball the whole time. Either both were fouls or neither were (and if one was a foul, it wasn't Maguire). I'd say if the ref had blown his whistle a few seconds later, the goal would have stood via VAR.

United were awful anyway. No RW was shown up again, and Martial was useless. I don't think any United fan expected to win the title, but to have the first hole put into the ship by Sheffield United is frustrating.

It must take some effort on Angelo's behalf to come across as a cretin across such a wide range of threads..

I'll give you the opportunity to withdraw that insult.

Is it an insult if it's a fact?

We'd be better off just getting reunification first and working out our differences after...
