Replying To farneygael3: "Certainly won't be Breffni. Cavan play Monaghan Saturday 3rd so it's not going to be a doubleheader. And given the time of year, you couldn't fix it for the Sunday for fear it's cut to pieces the day before. So it's not an option" Breffni Park is top and well draining surface nowadays so shouldn't cut up like some other surfaces. If Cavan GAA decide to protect it then Longford GAA will likely do the same as they are playing Westmeath in Pearse Park on the Saturday 3rd in O Byrne cup.
@Seanfan I'll be surprised if it's not set for Sunday and to clash with out FBD opener v Leitrim in Elphin.

Replying To Viking66: "How do you achieve no demand? A massive wealth re-distribution programme in Irish society might reduce demand for heroine, but would likely in turn lead to more demand for cocaine.
And drink likely causes way more deaths than cannabis, should we ban it too? What about cigarettes? Sweets and sugar? Chips and other fatty foods?
The problem is human nature, and more specifically greed. Most things arent too harmful in moderation, but unfortunately moderation isnt something the average human is any good at." There's lots of things that could potentially cause deaths but most of these things don't involve an illegal criminal element or people's houses getting attacked or the complete breakdown of society as we've been witnessing because of drugs.

Replying To zinny: "Vking I think what you are overlooking is the nature of the products involved. The problem with reducing demand is the narrative around drugs and that it has always been a working class problem . That has allowed the middle class to absolve themselves from the impact of the problem in society. Where are the government, media and other campaigns focusing on the moral decadence of their own class? the moral responsibility for the implications with the use of drugs needs to front and center in reducing demand." I agree. I wrote a similar post the other day but it didn't get through with particular reference to white collar professionals.
The older I get, the more authoritarian my views are becoming.

In what must be a first, TirChonaill is the only player who picked up points this week.
Most went for Kilcoo, a couple went for Scotstown in normal time.
That's us now until the semi-finals in the New Year.

Replying To Doylerwex: "I agree. I wrote a similar post the other day but it didn't get through with particular reference to white collar professionals.
The older I get, the more authoritarian my views are becoming." Drug use is perfectly acceptable in many places, high and low. Coke was detected in Leinster House toilets! I've seen lads snorting in bars before matches, lads who looked like they play themselves. The smell of weed is only a wisp of wind away.
I personally couldn't care less what someone else does if it doesn't interfere with me but if you buy drugs then you bear a personal responsibility for what those and other drug dealers do . There appears to be a disconnect on that level.
As for why people don't protest anymore, it is literally for the above reasons. They are someone close to them uses the product being sold. And it no longer has the in your face social impact that heroin trade did, other than when something dreadful like Edenderry of the young fella from Drogheda who apparently died under torture and mutilation.
I mean if Guinnesses were at that I wouldn't be giving them my custom!
