Derry down to 14 then?

Aye they are.

Are the first placed teams at home in the quarter finals?

Not a very subtle punch from McKinless

it was the knee on the way down that got him - accident in fairness

I mean when Mckinless was landing he got him a dig in the ribs.

What does everyone think of having a star of the week for U6?

Not sure I agree with it.

As long as everyone gets one I don't see the big deal.. They run a pupil of the week in primary schools etc

Yeah I get that about primary school and I'd understand if everyone gets their turn. Just think it can be pretty harsh for some kids who don't understand that though.

Correct. And the cost is irrelevant. Who cares if it costs 500m? The money will only be spunked on something else.

Aye thats true.

Imagine if it were spent on a new wing on the RVH, or replacing a few schools that are falling apart at the seams.

That'd be just stupid.

The money for Casement is ring fenced. If it's not spent on Casement I'll go back into the pot and NI might not get a sniff of it.

BBC iPlayer:
2hrs44.30 Coming together of O'Neill, who had no need to get involved, and McGuigan. McGuigan was fouled by Morgan, then clattered by O'Neill. McGuigan falls with his head in O'Neill's chest.

2hrs51.33 O'Neill lifting his shirt to show Gough a mark on his chest. Gough barely looked at it, fairly short conversation, but he does take out his note book and writes some info in it, the two things might not be related, but Gough could be noting the incident and the number of the player involved.

Just watched it. Absolutely nothing to see. Carry on.

Time?

Any link to the video on twitter? I noticed O'Neill complaining to the ref. Did it happen when he tried to pull McGuigans head off in the 2nd half of ET?

The Derry team was in Mary's and then Dormans but Gallagher most definitely was not there. Someone was circulating a video of Gallagher in LJs last year. Sad people.

Thank f**k for that.

Would it not have been an option for armagh to replace rafferty with a proper keeper for penalties?

Ulster Council, Derry County Board and Croke Park met yesterday and outcome was to carry on as normal as this is a private matter

At Derry training everything is carrying on as normal.

Unless something new is presented RG will be there on Sunday.

Will he carry on as normal and will the spectators?

Mind me asking about your source for the first paragraph?

So they investigated and found nothing?

Is that what it says?

Gallsman wants Gallagher hung, drawn, and quartered,no winners in this sorry episode for Doire Gaa,Gallagher,or his family, enough said

At no point have I said anything of the sort.

Isn't that normal process though? Doesn't everything have to go through the PPS? What would the PSNI said differently?

The cops can investigate and find nothing. They'll only forward a file to the DPP if they think there's something there. The decision to prosecute or not is the DPP's.

Otherwise, using the example from earlier, any gobshite can abuse anyone of anything and a file would be sent to the prosecutor.

Cheers. Was genuinely unsure.

A spokesperson for the PSNI said: "Police have investigated a number of reported incidents and files have been submitted to the Public Prosecution Service."

It is understood the PPS received two investigation files from the PSNI in January 2022 and June 2022.

After all the available evidence in these files was considered in line with the PPS Code for Prosecutors, it was determined there was insufficient evidence to provide a reasonable prospect of conviction for any offence in relation to any individual.

Decisions not to prosecute any individual were issued in January 2022 and September 2022.

So they investigated and found nothing?

No. They investigated and found enough to provide a file to the PPS who decided they did not have enough to go further.
That's a mile away from nothing.

But wouldn't they have to provide a file anyway? Can they legitimately tell the victim it's not going to the PPS?
