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

No games should be in Omagh, the pitch is dire at this time of year, and always been like that for yrs. Murphy best player ever to come out of Donegal and will be one of Ulster's greatest players ever. Still think he should put in for the, Donegal job.

It actually is in grt shape at the minute. Think there was some sort of draining work done last year which has greatly helped. Plus there is no training on it at the minute either. It's no were near what it used to be this time of year

It's absolutely awful. We were on it Saturday night. Great ground and staff though

A new low fir Casement

Even if Cargin and Enniskillen win I reckon they would put it in Armagh instead of Omagh-

Kilcoo only get into their stride in Ulster they always seem to lift it few teams have taken them to ET over last few years Carryduff defo did 2 years ago maybe.

Can't see Cargin getting close to Glen but I do not think it will be a drubbing either I will go Glen by 4/5 points

Healy Park pitch in real bad condition at the minute

Having to cut the grass in the middle of November.

Don't sicken me. I thought the last cut at start of Nov would do it! Definitely need to do it again 

Grass cut yesterday too.. 21.2 degrees in Wales today

I'm glad I'm not the only one having to make a shape at cutting grass at the moment.

On another note we drove past a house last night and they had their Christmas tree up already!!

Half my street has theirs up! I thought Halloween was bad, barely a week had passed and the first house put their Christmas decorations up! Absolute weirdos.

Aye have it up 2 months before Christmas then cant wait to get them down on St Stephens day, just look at me people, have to be first up first down.

Jaysus I be the opposite, hate seeing decorations up early but then hate to see them coming down as well.

Yep put them up about 15th Dec-6th Jan

Having worked close with SF, there is loads of money under the carpet

The gospel according to St Fear.

Gauranteed to know more than you.

Sure there a no of lads over 35, they been a weak team to come out compared to other years, very poor to give away 7 goals, Drunsurn with a younger team would put up a better showing. the only fballer of Senior level Neil McNicholl.

Didn't see Galbally game but seen them a few times in championship and thought the lad Fergal? Close inside looked good. Could maybe bulk up a bit but looked lively.
In general the posts above are probably right on their overall strength and age profile but fair play to them. Supposed to be relegated the season before and managed to win it. Intermediate maybe not as strong now as in previous seasons but it is wide open.

Tyrone would be stronger too though this year?

Impressive crowd. 30k plus? The NI cup final wouldnt get near that.
Unfortunate scenes. Surely some better way to segregate seeming as this now seems to be annual as you say. Was it the same pub/street last year too?

Yeah same pub Irishtown inn, Guards probably shouldn't have let them march down in front of it.

I'd lean on blaming the Shels "fans" there, a lot of the Dublin clubs have a hooligan element.

Nah both fans were as bad as each other-Derry had a pile of hanger oners there yesterday, usually get 5k max at The Brandy. 20k went yesterday

Fair enough, I'm just going off the video outside the pub seemed like Shelbourne started it. 20k very impressive turnout by Derry even if it's a one off.

Wouldnt be the first time we took that number down, but yes its good. The derry fans were the ones launching the bottles down from the pub, we know how to throw to be fair

Genuine question, are the likes of Mickey Brady and Francie Molloy stealing a living, or are they doing some really great work somewhere and I just haven't seen it.

Mickey would do a good bit in the community in fairness to him, but he's not exactly in danger of losing a seat

Very good, but I don't know any community workers on 84 grand a year plus expenses, and anyway is that not what councillors are for?  Most MPs do constituency work on a Friday, so what does Mickey actually do on a Monday, or a Tuesday etc?

If you are going to have a go get your facts straight, they do not receive a salary as they don't take the oath of allegiance. Their expenses cover offices and staffing.

lol

Not so fantastic in 2022 tickle......embarrassing really for a team good enough to win the all ireland. Can they bounce back in 2023?

They will, because everyone knew it was a sham fight

Did anyone think there was more Donegal supporters than Antrim?

The Irish News certainly reports that Cargin supporters were heavily outnumbered.

Highland said 4 to 1

Good start to their Ulster campaign for Glenarm today. 24 point winners over Carrickmacross down in Inniskeen. I believe it's Sean Treacys up next in the semis.

Another Ulster win today for Glenarm. Great to see it. They now play Setanta from Donegal in two weeks time in the Ulster final.

Good luck ,we lost to Setanta today

Think Setanta will be too strong

Glenarm be no pushovers. Couple points either way

I would fancy Glenarm, they have good forwards for this grade.

Setanta have 8, dont forget they are county senior champs. Saying that we lost our county junior and they onlyt beat us by 7-and we didnt play well. It will be tight

Healy Park with the big Sally's banner. Beautiful setting.

Awful pitch. Very poor condition, no ball catchers, wtf
