Ball went directly into net so not a square ball.

Ignorance of the rules here

Is Banty still helping him keep food on the table?

Should convicted murders be banned from managing?

As a rule yes.

They wouldn't pass vetting anyway

Been round many clubs in the North?

Exactly. I know 2 off the top of my head took Senior football teams having served life sentences in the kesh.

I know a few more who managed senior intercounty teams who served time in jail also 

You dont have to complete Vetting to manage Senior teams it is only when working with Juveniles.

If 17 year old can play on your team, you need full vetting

As i said

Which further fuels what I say that the RG issue was not a safeguarding one at all...

Im wrong if there are 17yr olds on the panel it would be required.

Recreational GAA for kids?

Good luck to whoever is put in charge of defining the line between a recreational player and a non-recreational player.

And having to tell the parents that their kid is on the recreational team ..

Are those other companies directly funding the genocide like Allianz are? Surely boycotting one complicit company is better than none? If we can all do a small bit it would soon add up.

So it is just an easy target.

I just searched and the AI gave the following list of companies that are helping Israel in one way or another. The only one of them that i previously heard in any conversation in relation to this was McDonalds.


Amazon (AWS) & Google: Provided cloud services to the Israeli government and military under "Project Nimbus".

Microsoft: Provides cloud computing and AI services to the Israeli military and government.

Intel: A major investor in Israel with large manufacturing plants, including a $25 billion expansion project.

Hewlett Packard (HP/HPE): Provides services to the Israeli Population and Immigration Authority and military.

Cisco: Supplies servers and network equipment to the Israeli military.

Palantir: Provides AI and data analysis tools to the Israeli Ministry of Defense.

Nvidia: Expanded its R&D operations in Israel.

Motorola Solutions: Supplies surveillance systems, including to Israeli settlements.

Boeing: Supplies weapons, including JDAM kits for precision bombs.

Caterpillar: Supplies bulldozers (specifically D9) used in the demolition of Palestinian homes.

Volvo: Provides heavy machinery used in the construction of settlements.

Strauss Group/Sabra: Food company providing support to the Israeli military.

McDonald's: The Israeli franchisee supported the military with meals.

Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, TripAdvisor: Listed in UN reports for offering rentals in illegal Israeli settlements.

AXA: Insurance giant with investments in Israeli banks.

Barclays: Provides financial services to companies supplying arms to Israel.

 

There are so many companies invoved with Israel and most of us are giving money to them everyday of the week.

Is Allianz just the easy target while we buy stuff on Amazon and use our HP Computers with Intel Chips and Microsoft office?

Big kick in the balls for Cavan.Seems like defeat from jaws of victory.

BTW - why am I seeing things on Tik Tok over one of their players?

Good question why is a grown man on tiktok?

Any word of pitch inspection before game?

Its a fixture not a rule.
Ulster team v Connacht team should mean a Leinster venue with a Leinster or Munster Ref.

That's what you think but that has never been the way. Any team that gets to a All-Ireland Semi Final should be happy about it and not whinging about venues.

Daylight is fading but not dark yet.  The floodlights fail. Does the ref stop  the play?

I remember the Wimbledon  final when Federrer complained about the fading light.

So, at  what  point (don't say "deuce")  does it become  acceptable to stop or let  play continue?

PS. I  could see where something  like this could  be  cynically used to a home  teams advantage .

This is what happens when lads have to much drink the imagination goes into over drive.

Was it always a thing that you were picked on if you didn't wear one or was this a thing the media decided to create?

The poppy thing is just something that seems to have grown more legs over the years for whatever reason. If it was like that from the start fair enough but I don't think it has been. (In England / Scotland / Wales I mean)

I lived in England from 2004-2017 and it definitely got progressively worse as time went by. I wore a white poppy one year and got some totally disgusted looks

What's the white one for?

They are not white poppies per se, rather white and green. You never know but maybe all white poppies could become a thing for the far right racists?

Most of them lads would prefer a red one.

[When in reality , they'll do absolutely nothing.]

Maybe the 13% spoiled votes sent a message, after all?

I doubt it

Election didn't go as planned , capitalising on  the pressure on MM, and trying to butter up  the voters . They  are seeing what way the  feeling  is growing  re: immigration, and  it's juat sound bites to make it look like we're going to do something about it. When in reality , they'll do  absolutely nothing.

its all smoke and mirrors. More fool  those  who believe the slimey p***k

To what end, is it in their interests to do nothing? What do they gain from doing nothing in the current climate?

They will get the Pat on the back from the EU for been a good little country and doing its bit.

It's upset you enough to post about

I asked a genuine question. The only thing I asked was how did it take so long to call it or what reason would there be and suddenly people are getting upset over it. It was an obvious breach and I still haven't been given an answer. If you can't answer that's fine. No need to attack people over a question mate

You wont get a answer here the only people who can tell you are the officals that were involved.
