There is nothing wrong with Rishi Sunakās plan to tighten up on genuine cases of those unable to work and liable to claim disability benefit.

The Tailteann Cup draw is more exciting than the Sam McGuire one

In both years of the Talia Shire Cup, the two favourites in the betting have contested the final.
One of last yearās semi-finals had a 22 point margin at the end.
Competishun.
Weāll get Nicholas Cage to present the cup so
Average margin of Sam Maguire Cup knockout games 2022/23 combined: 4.96 points
Average margin of Thandie Newton Cup knockout games 2022/23 combined: 6.22 points
The first season of lost is a master piece until the final 5 minutes or so
I think the Tailteann cup is a good ideaā¦ but I also think we need a 3rd tier competition.
The AI junior competition could have been utilized e.g. renaming it, playing final before an SM quarter/semi final rather than just giving it to overseas teams and Kilkenny.
Sure, we could organize promotion/relegation to and from it down the line but the smaller counties would be up in arms if they were told they were relegated to a junior competition. Ya canāt win, some teams will never be near the top tier and just cannot accept it and try improve their lot rather than blaming everyone else

Possibly, but its been hard enough sell this to the Counties, Iām not sure what Leitrim, Tipperary or Limerick would say if you told them they were going into Tier 3.
If it was based off league finish they could have no complaints.As a fella said to me once āif there was a Div 5 weād be in itā

There is a great relief in plummeting down the leagues and knowing you can go no further.
Then you play London in the Tailteann and need a last minute fisted point to draw it and you realise thereās always another depth to plummet.

There is nothing wrong with the handpass in hurling.

Similar to a lad at home, a soccer player with notions, he asked the manager why he was on the B team.
āBecause we donāt have a C teamā was the response.

They should just do away with it,itās a throw most of the time letās just call it that.Weāre constantly trying to get the young lads to do it right,but why should they when the adults donāt.
Correct. The handpass is fine. If we could only get lads to execute it properly now, weād be the finest.

Those two figures show the benefit of the new system clearly. There should actually be three tiers though.
