But is this case not just to see if they can take it back to court again. So would be another wait then while that happened. I think given the ridiculous decision by the PC/ PSNI it was always going to fall at the SoS's feet to deal with.

Our work phone has the option of pausing work apps. T'is a blessing for when your off.

Some of the grants can start at 8K.

You think two grand per player will improve the quality of Gaelic games?

Potentially. Same as any other grant to a sports person.

And Olympic hopeful being able to take 2 years off work to train full time is not the same as paying for a weekend break for a hurler.

You think an Olympic could take 2 years off on 8k?

Is it any different from the international carding scheme? That provides grants to international athletes to help with the athletes living allowance. There's no requirement for the athlete to be professional/ full time. It's a performance based grant.

There is no ban on them taking money though. Athletics isn't amateur.

But funding Olympic athletes is to have a stronger olympic teams. We win more medals now. Giving the Sligo hurling sub keeper €2k won't improve hurling. And the GAA money is from that fund.

You've strayed into your opinion there. Which you're entitled to hold. I don't believe the athletes grant makes them professional. But it might aid their lifestyle to maintain their competitiveness. Same with GAA players.

They're perfect example of wrong method, right result. I find the groups and people hard to take and would question their motivation. But if they're producing the results and helps at least one extra child stay safe, then it's worth it.

The OO's problem with that is that it would take violence to get down the Garvaghy Road. It didn't take violence to stop the parade. Once the PSNI weren't going to force the Fenians off the road, the GRRG knew they could just sit it out and that the status quo was in their favour, as in, without PSNI interference they were getting their way.
If the OO do what the GRRG have done, I.e. peaceful protests. Then they're just back to where they were a few months ago. Walking down to be turned away by the police on a weekly basis. They can keep doing it for another 28 years. Wasting time, money and effort. As before, the rest of the world will move on and forget about their protest while they waste every Sunday morning for the foreseeable.

Yeah coming here taking our castles. Local people can't get a castle anymore. It's a disgrace.

Was beside close to the Errigal Ultras. Chants of fat bastard to the Lough keeper and w**ker to McElholm.  Flares let off also.  County Board need to come down strong on the flares

What can be done though? Can hardly start banning young supporters from games or searching everyone that comes in

An education piece done by the clubs. With a view that the club is punished with a fine if breached. That will motivate the club to try and educate the youth, that it's not cool, funny or edgy to be at that sh!te. I've noticed it happening in more and more games this year. Chatting multiple neutral fans who commented on how not family friendly the games were. I think it's something that needs addressed.

Who the f**k has diesel to waste these days.

I think there was a direct pathway of Longrunsthefox, iceman, Sureyouwill, lost track after that.

Tyrone SFC Outright odds @ PP

ERRIGAL 2/1
DMORE 5/2
LOUGH 11/4
EDORK 5/1

Would definitely back Lough in the final if they came up against Donaghmore. Don't know how last years champions are 3rd favourites.

Donaghmore class team but can't base everything of 1 great game with brutal conditions

I'd say it's just the fact that they have EC in semi. D'more big favourites to get to final. So on that basis prob nudged them ahead.

Surely there has to be some legal issue with the OO. Can they not start to go after the root of the problem. Is there not some legal challenge regarding hate speech etc that could be used. The PSNI are keen to uphold the law about the protest, so surely there is something that could be brought to court about the organisation itself. I would never have been in favour of that sort of thing previously, but now. Time to throw baby out with the bathwater and go at them properly.
