[I think Dungiven gave them a better game than Portaferry b]

Dungiven seem the closest from what I can see. Realistically Dunloy the strongest by a good bit in antrim so if slaughtneil better than them hard to judge the rest of derry. You'd imagine Dungiven at least would be competitive in antrim. Lavey seem to have dropped off.

I think Dungiven gave them a better game than Portaferry but I also think Slaughtneil *probably* prepare to peak for ulster.

Derry always has good hurlers in it. Maghera always competitive. It's just that they're all footballers too.

They did but it isnt always accurate to compare like this as time and conditions have changed-Slaughneil would be up a level now from Derry final-they have found another couple young lads too

Where is Down hurling in the grand scheme of things in relation Ulster Club SHC?

3rd behind Antrim then Derry at the top at the minute, the one thing S'neil are doing is raising the standard in Derry I'd imagine in club hurling, I know they have won well over the years but teams are raising their own standards to try and catch them I'd imagine

The dual thing impacts the Derry county hurlers more than the other two for obvious reasons hence why the strength in club hurling in Derry hasn't transferred to IC.

Fear will know better, but how far beyond the Lynches, Lavey and the Screen would SN be? Do they even get a competitive game in the Derry club championship?

1 Slaughtneil
2 Kevin Lynches
3 Banagher
4 Eoghan Rua
5 Screen
6 Swa
7Lavey
8 Na Magha.

Thats the order this year. Eoghan Rua will drop away off wihtin next 5 years. Banagher, Lavey, Screen, Swa will all swap up and down that order-Lavey very strong underage.

Slaughtneil miles ahead of Lynches. Bar them 2 everyone else either intermediate or junior Ulster.

If Derry got all their dual players playing intercounty they would put it up to Antrim, but alas.

Club hurling relatively ok. We were baeten junior finalists and last in derry and beat Down junior well and put it up to Donegal senor champs-could beat them on another day

Think theyre sayin that was a different event Fear. Goin by the mugshots id like to have seen that squabble 😃

Oh right sorry , aye would have been messy one by looks of it

So not twinbrook lol

Most of the initial guesses were "traveller wedding".

Well the lads attested were all Stokes'so must have been

Social media really has  turned  the world   simple. I despair for humanity, I really do

Race to the bottom

This is the growing norm. I posted this a few weeks ago, young nationalist((I assume she was) people getting brainwashed and many becoming what we ourselves detested in others.

I'm not surprised a Muslim country have banned drinking or encouraging it..

I'm more surprised that people are concerned that drinking at a football stadium is banned when you can't drink in the stands at most football stadiums. They also had a limit of 4 drinks initially.

Croke park banned drinking at the stadium during covid, no one lost their shit, in fact watching the games sober is actually a better experience

For me it's not a what the f**k moment but glad yourself and kidder, who should actually just use the ignore function, are thinking it's a WTF, that's fine though

I don't think it's a wtf that a Muslim country would ban alcohol. But I think its a wtf that 2 days out from hosting the world Cup they ban it from the stadium after previously promising that it would be allowed, after fifa securing a massive sponsorship deal from budweiser, that they will surely face a massive lawsuit on. Yeah I would think that's a bit of a wtf. Like what else are they going to uturn on? That maybe not "all fans will be welcomed"?

Gays aren't welcome. Tha is enough for me to switch off. FIFA corruption epitomised

I'd love to have your discipline Fear, but I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't going to watch any of the games. Definitely the least I've ever been interested in a World Cup. It's a joke that it's being held there.

I understand that and wouldn't criticise you for it , but gay rights or the lack of them would be something I'd take particular interest in

The whole thing from start to finish has been as far away from GAA traditional values as anything I gave ever seen 

Awful match

Yeah there are some exceptions, Derry ones above average . Far too stop/start in Ulster , camogie refs

Fontenoys by 9 in the end, didn't see that one coming, maybe Down hurling is stronger than I thought..
We'll know better tomorrow all the same.

Great result there. Other match away to extra time

Watching the stream here, carrickmore wides and 2 soft goals killed them. Side note. Something needs done about players constantly pulling their helmets off every time they are down, was there not some rule introduced about this?

Not sure

But what I would say is the standard of hurling officiating at Ulster club is very poor

How are SF going to keep up the pretence that FF /FG are killing the country as the Irish economy continues to grow

So you no longer support Aontú? FF/FG is the way to go?

Sticking with one party religiously despite any misgivings isn't a good thing. You should be prepared to move your vote.

Indeed. But Aontú to FFG is quite the leap so can hardly blame me for confirming that he has made such a remarkable transition.

I haven't . I'm merely pointing out how difficult it will be to convince voters when the country is doing comparatively well. Sure hadn't Joe brolly spent few days tweeting about this.

Oh I see. So how are Aountú going to "keep up the pretence that FF /FG are killing the country as the Irish economy continues to grow"?

In your own time there

I couldn't figure out what you were saying ,not unusual with you

You see, all I did was take your exact question and replace the words 'Sinn Féin' with Aontú. So hopefully that clarifies it for you and we can try again:

How are Aontú going to "keep up the pretence that FF /FG are killing the country as the Irish economy continues to grow"?

Ah seen what you did there, amazing
