Full score counting, proper competitive competition. Itās nice to see as it helps them understand that thereās winners and losers. Theyāve split it into an U9 shield and an U10 cup which is great so everyone is fairly equally matched. Kilmacud Crokes even travelled down for it with their 57 U10 teams
Youād feel for the other 40 who didnāt make the cut .

They felt that playing anything more than 57 a side would be taking the pissā¦

Sorry yeah the 64. The town was buzzing the day I was down there. Father used to work in the leather factory down there once upon a time. Long ago now so it was a sentiment trip back down there. We went to court town and Tara hill too and Saleen beech.

On a fine day thereās very few places thatāll beat the view up and down the coast from Tara Hill. The lack of fine days is the issue though
Afraid so

No itās just Iāve been working on the front line for 7 odd years and itād best me to tell a (native) Pakistani from an Indian or a Bangladeshi
I remember edwina currie talking about how she valued and respected her indian constituents, especially the Pakistani taxi driversā¦

The sister in law told me.
And she knows everything.
They worked in a few shops on the north side as if to get to know the trade and then the story was they took over there. Probably leased the building in fairness. Thatās why I asked.
If itās the same two still there, theyāre there morning noon and night.
Apologies mate, I wrongly assumed you were making a generalisation and I whole heartedly apologise

The lads on the tills may well be from Pakistan, tough enough gig over there Iād say,
The girls who operate the deli are local, I honestly donāt know how they manage to keep everything so good, most delis bang out dried up shit non stop
Yea, the deli staff are always local. I wonāt state the obvious reason for that.
These lads have their heads screwed on by all accounts.
Sheās a mine of information on delis that one.
I am not sure if this is popular or unpopular.
Roy Keane is an utterly hopeless football analyser whose sole contributions seem to be āthe importance of senior prosā and āgetting back as if your life depended on itā.

I think what made him interesting and stand out on UK punditry is that he didnt follow the usual line and generally couldnt hide his disdain for waffle. But thats definitely drifting away now and he seems to be becoming a caracitures of whatever he once was.
He stood and watched as Daniel Sturridge sang Usher yesterday and also is now launching away jerseys for united as well as dressing as a clown for SKY. And I believe he once dressed as a Leprechaun.
Where did it all go wrong Roy. Should never have left Forest.

I always knew he was a complete hypocrite - even the analyser gig was something he scoffed at for years.
But it then became about whether he was actually good at it when he decided to slum it and take it on.
And heās not. Just because you have a disdain for waffle doesnāt mean you automatically offer any real insights.
Bizarre yesterday that he was the only one not to ask Trent or Poch any questions when they appeared at the podium thing.

The man has to earn a living too. Iām sure Keane would like to be one of the top, top managers in world football, but it didnāt work out for him (as clearly heās not up for it). But heās found something that heās good at, and heās earning.
Wagons circling klaxon sounding etc.
