Is it telling you and the other chap won't address the current news and revert to either digging up something that happened a few years previous? or just throwing shade on trump.

I just provide balance like I've been saying trump is wrong on lots like not releasing files or talking nonsense at NFL game Sunday evening trying to get Washington team stadium in his name

You can't address anything in where he's been wronged

The BBC caught deliberately interfering and attempting to influence the Presidential election in America,
this is the BBC we are all supposed to trust to give us impartial news? I hope Trump sues them into bankruptcy.
Trump was spot on about the fake news after all.

Replying To McGuirk1985@:  "How did the cavan representatives get on?"
Cavan are victims of having a competitive championship. Teams rarely get a run of titles that allow them to navigate through Ulster. As the Mknaghan championship is so uncompetitive, county Scotstown are getting better at winning a few games. An active transfer market assists them even further.

Replying To John Doe:  "If there's no relegation from Premier Junior what happens the Junior A winners next year ?"
Junior A to F is for second, third teams etc. It's a reserve team championship. The only exception I think is Tuam Hurling, but they wouldn't be strong enough yet to enter the Premier Junior. If they work their way up, I'm sure it would be looked at.

Do ye think? I'm no fan of BBC nor RTÉ but I have to say BBC Ulster have shown more coverage of all things Donegal than RTÉ. I'd also give them credit for the GAA coverage in Ulster.

I still find it unbelievable that people think there is a god overseeing all that happens in the world. If there is then he is some craic.

Replying To TheFlaker:  "You can say it's good for people of faith to have beliefs in time of trouble. Also I would worry about a certain amount of the population finding out they can do whatever they want because there is no punishment. I get that. But it's such a handy excuse for religious people to say God has given us free will and isn't interested in showing himself or sending a warning. God is willing to watch from above while children starve, die from disease or even be abused even by members of the clergy? Some god. But we are also led to believe that God and Mary have appeared to people but not in recent history, also very convenient. God is testing us apparently. Some craic."
You're now focusing on specific religions and their various tenets. That has nothing to do with my answer.
Your original point was that you find it unbelievable that people can have belief in a higher power. I was stating why it shouldn't be hard to believe at all, why people would have such faith and the fact that it's actually beneficial to have it in dealing with life's challenges.
My argument isn't about whether there is or there isn't a higher power, but why there's nothing remotely surprising about why people would believe in it. It can be a huge help for people in trying to deal with life's issues. The belief in a greater power and an afterlife are core parts of all of these belief systems.
The fact that such beliefs originated long before organised religion, in every corner of the earth among very different cultures indicates that it's an innate part of human thinking.

Give me a couple of days and I'll do a review of all the tapes to get specific times, games and dates and players who solicited frees. If that is important to you.

I don't believe I was on forum at time from checking fox were fined in 2023 I drift in an out over years.

If I was I would say it was wrong and they were rightfully fined and not deflect to something that happened previously

Replying To Viking66:  "2018 they lost by 6 to a good Coolderry team.
2019 St Mullins beat Cuala from Dublin and Rathdowney from Laois.
2021 MLR lost by 6 to Ballyhale, who narrowly lost the AI final.
2022 St Mullins beat our county champions
2023 MLR lost to OLG, who lost the AI final by just 1 point.
2024 St Mullins lost to KK from Offaly.

That's all pretty good when you consider the long lay off your county champions have.

Since Hanrahans won their last title in 2000 you have reached twice as many Hurling Leinster finals as Football ones."
Viking, sadly there are some people in Carlow who seem to loathe hurling. It's impossible to understand the logic. But it's always been like this.

Those of us from the south of the county have long been fully aware of it.

Replying To FearCeatharlach:  "Both lost first round. Point proven"
I honestly can't believe you could post that. The last couple of weeks have been nothing short of embarrassing for Carlow football.

The senior champions were never in the game against a Portarlington side missing half their best players. The intermediate winners went out and got beaten by twenty-nine points. That's not bad luck.

Meanwhile, the hurling teams are punching miles above that level. The IHC winners beat a good Westmeath outfit and only went down to a very strong Commercials side and all after not playing a competitive game since August. And in senior, Mount Leinster went toe-to-toe with a Naas team who could win Leinster outright, and probably would have beaten them if Chris Nolan hadn't been sent off. Again: no matches since August.

Carlow hurling is clearly operating at a far higher level than Carlow football. Anyone pretending otherwise is deluding themselves.
