It was made official last week but Brian Flanagan is in with Kildare for another year alongside Davy Burke.
They are changing up the S&C team - honestly am seeing club teams with better fitness than them.

We need to get promoted and stabilise in Div 2 and get back into Sam from next year.

On the subject of Kildare I see an interesting article re. Newbridge capacity
St. Conleth's Park capacity

Molten metal

Explosions

No planes

Other buildings demolished on purpose

Cuts in defence spending

The Jews

The Arabs

CIA

So let's get this straight - you trust America and it's chosen people buddies?

I don't trust conspiracy loonies

So with that in mind, give me your break down on who took out the towers

Please back it up with actual facts though

All the farmers not out protesting Trump, like earlier in the year, say he put diesel up 50p a litre and heating oil up to £1 a litre. Nah didnt think so.

Has to be the most ridiculous post of the year.

?? Trump is directly responsible for the oil prices going mad with his bombing of Iran.

Congressman Ted Lieu had the appropriate response:

If Democrats win control of Congress, Americans will get a $10,000 dividend, a pony, and free ice cream for life (with a choice of free yogurt for life instead, because we're Democrats after all).

The appropriate response to the proposal. It's a clever if crude political trick by Trump to antagonise the Democrats into climbing onto their moral high horse, a position from which they've lost most of their last elections. It's not like "vote for me and you'll be richer" is anything new in politics. It's existed since the Romans senators subsidised the price of grain 2000 years ago. There's no real difference between this announcement and any other politician proposing a 5% tax cut, as always Trump, has just stripped away the altruistic facade and presented policy in its true cynical, gaudy form.

The Republicans expect to lose the house so this is a promise they'll never have to think of again after November. It's a deliberately provocative statement to occupy the headlines and divide voters into their culture war factions, shoring up the Trump base. Where the Dems win this election is by focusing on the war Trump is losing with Iran. Even Republicans will abandon the guy who is forced to champion spending billions of dollars prolonging a stalemate in some far flung country they don't give a shit about.

Don't take the bait Democrats. Focus on Iran and the cost of oil.

The same could be said about Dunloy every year. I think the football is hitting them. That said I think they probably will win it... cushendall kind of in transition and looks like paddy Burke out which is a massive loss and loughgiel seem a level below now. Don't think the johnnies would beat Dunloy if they met.

Not many posters on this subject.
Obviously not much real interest in a reunited Ireland.

Donald wants it. Done deal now.

Playing lads under wrong names in this day and age is a disgrace by a club.

Would that not be easy to prove if there must be photos from the matches esp the final. Can the co board invstigate or do a club have to object i wonder?

Happily gave free use of the club facilities and pitch to the CA for a final one weekend, set up and all for them, before the final they enquired about a dozen times that the grass was going to be the regulation 19-35mm, then they landed down and one of the reps took a can of spray paint and drew a technical area on the slideline for each teams management, freehand, was like spaghetti, no permission sought just pure entitled as fvck ... it was a learning experience thats for sure
