And SF appear to be returning to their fíorghael roots. How that will play out with the 'woke' wing of their supporters could be interesting. No doubt party members will stick to a party line, but keeping the coalition of supporters together is about to become extremely difficult. Especially if the ...

Cramp afaik, probably not helped by the knee to the small of the back he got a few minutes before.

The dodgy clearout I referred to this morning. Whatever about Raynal, surely the TMO should have intervened ?

Great.

It doesn't change how the Unionist establishment treated Magennis.

And that was, allegedly, because he was rather fond of shooting German/Italian soldiers who'd surrendered. Not going to comment on his morals, as war is hell, but it was enough to make the War Office very sniffy about him.

What on earth are you basing this on? :lol: The 36th Ulster division where the only regiment of the British army to fulfill their obligation at the battle of the Somme.

I haven't looked at a recording of the match yet, but there was one Northampton ruck clearout in the first half that looked very near a shoulder to head and prompted a bit of booing at the stadium. The ref ignored it. Was it as bad as it looked ?

We were up high in the Hill, so could see everything, but very far most of the time. Watching Ross try to run after his intercept was hilarious. The important thing is that he had the rugby nous to make the intercept. That turned Northampton attacking ball into Leinster attacking ball. Personally I...

I don't think a lack of effort is an issue for many players at all. As it stands Ulster only have 2 contracted THs for next season (one of whom is regularly in international squads so unavailable and the other is on a development deal) and 2 LHs (one of whom has only about 10 games across the last ...

"We believe it's great because of our wildly hopeful assumptions on national debt and ignoring that 27% of employees in NI are in the public sector and a further 18% are reliant on services to the public sector" This has shades of the SNP independence white paper about it. i.e. completely unrealist...

We have a deal. It predates the EU (and the EEC), is not dependent on the EU, and indeed has nothing to do with the EU. It is called the Common Travel Area. Which means an open border then. Good luck. Also what has the Common Travel Area got to do with Asylum Seeker returns, also it looks like the ...

Quite the tasty little mic drop from Chris Heaton-Harris MP, at a press conference with Irish Tánaiste Micheál Martin.

The reason we're getting a surge of migrants from the UK is down to our own wonderful judiciary. By saying UK is not a safe country, the migrants have started coming here knowing we can't send them back there. There will be legislation very soon to deal with that so we can't have judges making stuf...

It seems that many of those travelling through NI to claim International Protection in Ireland have already claimed such status in the UK. The Irish government is now going to change our laws to allow us to simply ship any such people back to Blighty. https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/housing-plan...

But none of the good ones are from Leinster. That's Munster's, Ulster's and Connacht's problem, not either Leinster's nor the players involved.

I was wondering how often it occurs, of a weekend, that Leinster lose and the other three provinces win. Especially after a week of media whinging how it's not fair that Leinster are so much better than Ulster and Munster because of all the money they have. You'd nearly think it was deliberate........
