Weekend Predictions

SFC
Magherafelt v Slaughtneil 
Magherafelt by 2 AET

Glen v Newbridge 
Glen, despite the squad littered with very poor players who somehow managed to win Ulster and AI clubs and get past Kilrea, I think they will shade this one by 3 points. Should be some tussle

IFC
Greenlough v Eoghan Rua 
Eoghan Rua by 5

Desertmartin v Craigbane
Desertmartin by 7


JFC
Doire Trasna v Ballerin 
Ballerin by 3 AET

🙄🙄.......ahem, just the two Ulsters. Keep drinking the Kool Aid lad....jealousy eating you up?

On the naughty step at the end of the working week 😕

I'm a bit numb to the furore over this just because I expect all the big clubs are cooking the books to give themselves an advantage. Didn't Chelsea sell their women's team to themselves 2 years ago to boost their revenue on paper?

I'd expect that Arsenal, Pool, Spurs and Chelsea were all at similar scams during this era, the difference being they weren't caught out by a hacker handing the evidence over to Blid.

Look at PSG in Europe, a smaller European club bought by the Arabs and now consecutive EC champions, anyone think they did that fairly?

Professional soccer, it's an absolute cesspit run by cretins, like look at the state of that last World Cup. Money and greed has destroyed it so what's happening to City is absolutely beautiful

They should be knocking on the White House door

Magherafelt, Glen and Newbridge, then Slaughtneil slightly behind.
I've a sneaky feeling Glen will win Derry this year. 3 out of those 4 teams could win an AI club in Jan imo

Bastards are still at it. Don't ever let anyone try to convince you that this is an issue that only existed in the past.

Nor only an issue that existed in the Catholic Church for that matter. BBC and British Government more than their fair share of skeletons. Or what's happening across the pond with Epstein. Cover up right in front of our eyes.

We didn't give Epstein schools and hospitals to run

Just put the names of the Epstein class on schools and hospital wings

Just finished watching Breaking Bad for the 2nd time. I'd no intensions of rewatching it but it was on the home screen of Netflix when I opened it up a wee while back. Always had Deadwood as my no 1 , but my god, Breaking Bad is something else. Even though it was a dozen years in between viewing, worryingly I couldn't remember 95% of it.

The Blame: ITV, 7/10, decent
Last Seen, Apple TV 8/10 so far

Most of these groups are scumbags themselves who've found the one group of people in society that it's acceptable to punch down on. Wasn't one of the top pedo hunters in Belfast a joyriding junkie in his younger days?

I don't see much of the stings popping up on social media anymore, have these groups taken a step back or are have the pedos caught on to them?

I know of a group of loyalist hunters based in Belfast post sting, visiting the wife and kids of one of their targets and ordering them to leave the 6 counties (completely innocent and already in absolute shock / turmoil).

Were yous on your periods when you first listened to her

Just you keep drinking your drinkies, cranberry juice boy.

Just have been high oestrogen levels in the tap water round their way.

Sorry, we can't all have spent our time w**king off over Nathan Carter in our stonewash jeans.

Point of order, Nathan Carter was probably about 8 or 9 then

Gold 🤣🤣🤣

All tickets sold out for every concert. Either the prices were exactly right , or they were too cheap. It's not a charity gig, and attendance is entirely optional.

If you're a tour accountant yes. For punters the tickets are expensive but Oasis have such a huge following ( me included) that the shows will sell out, especially as so many missed but in the initially gouge last year. We had Cardiff tix last year, £250 for a regular standing, too dear for travel etc so passed them on to a couple of friends across the water

[so not sure]

Heard the ref was assaulted after the Screen game

Saw the video...

Plenty of commotion...bit mad...roaring match from a few...

Ref looked to take a dive in the middle of it all...couldn't see any strike....so not sure about assault but you'll have to view and assess for yourself...

Met a man in Moneymore Petrol station earlier today and he reckons the ref used to work for L.C.C previously and maybe his dad still did...maybe pure BS....

Plenty of bias in decisions apparently...

Calling the Screen team 'Draperstown' all the time which would stink if true....

Don't shot the messenger...only what a randomer said btw! (Probably a Draperstown man 😃)

EDIT...

Also...not sure if true...

But apparently the ref called the game as a draw....

When Screen actually won by a point...

Anyways the game then went to penalties  and Lissan then won the shoot out.....

I'm sure someone at the game will come along and explain things....

Who'd want to be a Ref 🤣...

Prosecution rests your honour

If you're representing your country by going against the majority of that country's people's views then is it really representing it.
Gutted by their decision, and one that won't be forgotten soon.

Shocked, but in the modern world the baddies don't lose, the system won't allow it. A glimmer of hope dashed

We should be sending the u-17s or a select 11 from the Irish 2nd division out to play the Israeli's for both fixtures and the indefinite future.

Typical of the lack of imagination at the FAI that they couldn't think of fudge to barely pacify UEFA whilst still making it clear that the Irish men's team refuse to play Israel whilst the commit genocide and ethnic displacement. Their comments this week about "oh we couldn't do without the money" were particularly disgusting. They're a stain on the Irish nation but that's nothing new.

So the same logic the GAA used about Allianz?

Worst case, and possible, is UEFA ban all Irish teams from international competition for 2 years. That is no Irish teams playing any games. That is LoI clubs out of Europe. Mass redundancies, the development of the game hugely hit. While principles cost, the FAI have a duty of care to the gane too.

But it could be a lot less than that. And with the way the last week or two has went UEFA would be very aware that there's the potential for even more boycotts. That the sentiment around this genocide is a lot stronger than people would have thought. UEFA don't want to be in a position of having to ban Spain cause they've previously banned Ireland.

Do you think the FAI would be going through this over a fine? Of course UEFA have clearly laid out the consequences and the FAI have made their call based on that.

Spain haven't stepped up. Nobody has. This notion that UEFA will frop it because a ban will be unpopular is very naive.

You have no idea what they will do. And I have very little faith in the FAI doing the right thing, so yes I believe they have no idea of what UEFA would do and just want to avoid any risk. They're just too scared or indifference to make the right call on it.

We know what they CAN do...

Are you seriously suggesting the FAI haven't spoken to UEFA?

Scared, definitely. Indifferent, get real.

Not prepared to take the risk then if your unhappy with indifferent. Or unprincipled. Take your pick. Making the wrong decision anyway. Alienating some of your support is never a smart move long term.

As opposed to potentially alienating them all by having to shutter LR for two years?

It's easy to hurl from the ditch, but the FAI have a duty of care to their game, first and foremost.

Nobody is happy with anything here, but it's easy for Gaels to want a rival sport to slit it's own throat

Last line says it all. You're just not happy a few "Gaels" are having a go at the FAI. It's possible to like both GAA and soccer. In fact I'd say the majority of gaa members would be at least passive soccer fans. It could just be a case that some people believe the FAI are totally in the wrong here.

Not quite my point.

Most people opining here that the FAI should man up and take the punishment won't be in any way impacted by the punishment. You don't care about the U15's having no competitive football and how that impacts on development. You aren't going to miss out on Pats in Europe as you won't watch it, let alone go.

A large chunk of it is popping at the FAI on muscle memory and ignoring that it is UEFA creating and exacerbating the issue.

Where are you getting this info from re UEFA sanctions?

" Between 2024 and May of this year, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia opted out of competitive fixtures when drawn against Belarus in qualifiers. Their punishments were 3-0 defeats and, in one case, a small fine of €5,000. That seems a small price to pay for taking a stand."

My feeling is the players will announce tomorrow that they won't be fulfilling the fixtures 🤞🏻
