Replying To Fionn: "I think 3 is too many tbh.
Na Fianna did it years ago with the Armagh lads and Dublin players from other clubs.
So if you were to limit it to one from outside Dublin and one club transfer within Dublin.
Perhaps that could work.
One thing is for sure though, the DCB need to address it." I dont think any player should be allowed play with a club unless they working or living in close proximity.There does nt seem to be a parish rule in Dublin and players able to choose the club they wish to play for.Na Fianna and Parnells took it to the limits.

Replying To Fionn: "In fairness, having to commute to another club in Dublin does Not defeat the purpose of travelling back to Galway, for example.
There are plenty of clubs in Dublin who could take them, even if it is not a high profile or Senior club.
Putting a limit on It is the only way to do it imo.
The likes of Crokes, as massive as they are, being allowed to play an import of the quality of Shane Walsh, does not sit well with me at all, or with a lot of people. And that is no slight on Shane at all btw.
And this is not just about non-Dublin players - Dublin players transferring to another Dublin club with a chance of silverware should not be allowed. Na Fianna being one example. Plunketts previously, another.
It can get right out of hand if it is not addressed by DCB.
Super clubs will prevail and the other Dublin clubs left aside with no hope of success." Well said Fionn. I have no allegience to any Dublin club but I have great admiration for Ballymun Kickhams as they never looked to poach players and its nice to see clubs like that get success.

Replying To TheFlaker: "That's a really bizarre way of looking at things. Only having a pop at posters who highlight all the mad stuff." No if someone says something I agree with ie David Clifford is best footballer in Ireland I will give it a thumbs up.
A debate involves two opposing views.
I am in fact balanced I call out both sides ie I'll call out Barney for nonsense and you and freethinker on other side
Like see how you cannot give him an iota of credit.
I can criticise and give credit where due

Replying To Freethinker: "There you go again calling people who disagree with Mr T Deranged. That's straight out of his lexicon. I happen to think that Mr T is the worst thing that ever happened to America, Europe and the rest of the world Hardly enough to put me in the deranged category - but if it makes you feel better, so be it." What is your logic for thinking he's the worse thing to happen the world.
I think his bark is worse than his bite. After all his hoopla his first term was unremarkable until he lost election and he helped fan flames of capitol riots
I'd be more concerned what will come from Vance or newsoom next

Read again I did not call anyone deranged for disagreeing with him.
People who cannot give him credit for anything I put in that bracket
It's deranged if you can't acknowledge he has improved things in Gaza compared to situation under Biden watch.
Feel free to call out his failings of which there are many
He could turn water into wine and you'd complain it's not beer.
Your opinion is just that.
Don't think he's up to much either and he's a nasty person I'd put him slightly ahead of Biden as president.
From shows I've watched recently I'd put time mcveigh and Koresh below him in terms of Americans worse then him

Replying To TheFlaker: "So if 90 per cent of his presidency is nuts you will only post about the positive 10 per cent. And accuse posters of having tds who highlight all the mad stuff. You are honestly making no sense.
By the way I already said he was right to try and clamp down on the border. More than once. You say you know nothing of the Venezuela situation yet you highlight the India/ Pakistan ceasefire? Are you trying to tell me you knew there was a problem between India and Pakistan? Really?" lol again at your usual tactic of talking down to someone
Questioning the knowledge of someone on an anonymous forum? Really odd behaviour
Who doesn't know that India and Pakistan been at loggerheads for a long time

People should be more worried with issues in this country rather than the Trump smokescreen constantly being shoved down our throats by the Irish Media

Replying To GreenandRed: "Candidates who ran for election knew the deadline to their candicacy declared as did those who dudn't get the quota of backers. Government parties had weak enough candidates so they weren't gonna make it easy for any potential independent candidates to make them look even worse. Regardless, had independents declared their intent a few weaks earlier then, arguably, their name would have been on the ballot paper." Bullet dodged with the lad Sheridan going by company he kept at weekend

Based on league will never happen. Any clubs with players involved with county would be at a disadvantage waiting on their players to come back in. Even if the games were played on weekends outside of county and all players 'released', some players will have knocks and might not play or be allowed play by the county team even if they only had a niggle.
The current system based off championship the previous year is why there is such a buzz around championship. If a team won intermediate this year on an outside chance and had a poor league next year, they would remain in intermediate.. No Way, they have earned their Senior Status for a a year by winning the Intermediate Championship the year before.

Yes I'm a big cricket fan getting up early watching ashes this weather was actually gonna bring it up here on this forum.
currently listening to ed Joyce interview with Joe Molloy funny enough so well aware of issues between India and Pakistan through cricket
Heck the Indian and Pakistan PL were suspended this year due to conflict so even a passing sports fan prob heard about it.
Imran Khan Pakistan captain at 92 World Cup currently in jail is an interesting story
Both are far more renowned countries then Venezuela isn't India the largest population now
Does that satisfy I know of conflict
Ive not read anything on goings on in Venezuela I thought they had a crackpot leader who trump would get on with like balsanaro

Tailteann Cup: Right To Scrap Group Stage? - 1 Like(s)
Replying To alalalalalum: "More than that, it is a demeaning trophy. You aren't good enough to be in All Ireland knockouts so here is a meaningless cup for you to play in." Door isn't closed on any county, if you happen to be a div 3,4 team you can compete in the Sam Maguire cup by reaching your provincial final and you can also get to compete in it by winning the "demaning Trophy" so hardly meaningless more super.

India and Pakistan agreed to ceasefire
The info is out there if you think freely and not have trump derangement syndrome
As I've said dont like him but just criticising his bad and not calling out things he has done well is not very balanced" There you go again calling people who disagree with Mr T Deranged. That's straight out of his lexicon. I happen to think that Mr T is the worst thing that ever happened to America, Europe and the rest of the world Hardly enough to put me in the deranged category - but if it makes you feel better, so be it.

Replying To Gaa_lover: "Yes that's the plan and some are losing the run of themselves with anger with that slight change. You do wonder how things was managed at all when the Senior All-Ireland final was played on the 3rd Sunday in September for many decades" There were way less county championship games before the September finals, so plenty of time for club championships during the summer. Many AI winners in hurling and Football for over a hundred years only had to play between 4 and 6 games.

I literally have posted a list of his mad stuff I think he does wrong and have constantly it's there in my last post.
One more time he's soft on Isreal and Russia
I don't like how he speaks to reporters Particular women and some of his appointments are a bit mad.
Now can you not acknowledge an India Pakistan ceasefire is good and he has improved situation in Gaza?
What may happen I future I can't predict

Replying To FullOfPorter: "Sorry but your markers for healthy democracy are not relevant. Democracy is a lot more than how many people are on the ballot paper. I don't know what relevance your media references are about either. The point was that even RTE, which has a perception of being on side with the government of the day, is still able to robustly interview government reps, unfortunately not consistently enough, and hold them to account. Altering interviews and whatever partisan angles demonstrates an inept media. In America Trump will only answer questions he's comfortable with and throws personal insults at journalists who ask legitmate uncomfortable questions. So one pillar of democracy, the ability of the media to hold government to account, is not working in America.
On elections, sure there is only ever 2 candidates for the US presidential election! A person who has way more power than our ceremonial president. The Irish one normally has more candiadtes just not this time. For Dail and council elections we have a PRSTV system which is one of the most democratically inclusive voting systems you can have. That has allowed for a wide range of parties, independents and people of varying views. You have two parties in America in a first past the post system. Its an horrendous system which encourages least worst option voting and some districts will never vote a different party. Your point that there was 25 Reps and 24 dems is pointless, sure it's still the same two parties. Add to that constant gerrymandering of voting boundaries. It's like the bloody north under unionist rule.
You also have the office of President which has way too much executive power. No one person in Ireland could hold that much power. Not to mention the ridiculous college vote which stems from the 1700s and allowing states with high rates of slavery to have disproportionate power relative to their white population. You can't run either for Pres in the USA unless you are bankrolled to the gills. The entire American system is antiquated and stuck in the 1700s. They might as well still be going around in breeches and knee high white socks." I have seen TDs in recent months refuse to answer questions from a journalist and was in fact called out by r rest of press crew
