Fully agree with that point. City based myself. I see all the characters/undesirable etc. I think that’s why we are all so frustrated with the lack of policing etc, as it is as clear as day for anyone who’s in town frequently. One point I would make, since that foreign business lady was attacked...

Hurling consists of two red teams, 25 per squad, A and B practically. The white team is a mere development squad, with considerably less contact hours with players. As for football, regional based. North, West, Mid and a City/East combination, who are arguably the strongest (West or...

One of the reasons we can’t have guards on the beat is our courtrooms- it’s appalling that guards are in inside the district court for the day. Such a simple fix and would alleviate so much pressure. I see your point 100%, but the undesirables undoubtedly still float around, do they just stand...

2nd person I have heard say to have noted similar You are the third person I have heard similar from today. I spoke to one retail manager earlier who was up 120% on last year. They had actually anticipated a worse day on last year due to decent weather etc, and the usual commentary! Do you...

Yes, we’ve the same fella. Surprised he hasn’t been mentioned more on here. Seems harmless, seen him helping drunks a few times late at night. Didn’t know he was sleeping rough.

Does he resemble Mick Wallace? Often wears striped oversized shirts and working style boots?

Has he a shop in Mallow by any chance? Sounds like a barber I used to go to.

Alan O' Connell has had lingering hamstring injuries for over 6 months, at least. My understanding is that is why he is not involved. Great player. I questioned the Colm Gillespie situation here previously, very unusual. With the current player pathway, a starter at u17 is almost guaranteed to...

Paul Stewart (RIP). As harmless as they come. As you said, died during Covid years. Could be wrong, but in and around the time of his death, his bench in MQ was removed.

What became of Colm Gillespie (Aghabullogue)?

I know for a fact Noonan was watched and given chances. He even played a challenge for the minors against the 16s in February. Colin Ruby was also monitored.

I would be shocked if Harte deploys that way of thinking. Derry were cool as a breeze at full time, eyes on the upcoming championship.

Dublin undoubtedly went after today's game and wanted a performance/result. They won't be tested again until All Irelnad Series. They will learn from today without question, they showed good character to get back in to the game 3 times. But at the same time, had Derry been more clinical (goal...

I originally thought it was red, then on the second viewing I felt it was a yellow. I don't think BF went for his face. In the pub now, and strong debate that it was a black - third man tackle. Now I am leaning that way. Lane had a shocker today, and I most certainly am not his biggest fan...

Believe it or not, that is a different lady. Trolley/hurley lady has dark hair. Very sad both cases.

Just saw her up close for the first time today, she came in to Cork Coffee Roasters by Anglesea Street. I had seen her in the distance 2/3 times before, and felt bad for her. I never really got a proper look. I did today, and her appearance really doesn’t fit the bill, well maintained. What...

I wonder will pubs start to consider utilising student drink deals, but to the population as a large? Obviously it will cut into profits, but it potentially could help keep bums on seats, and help avoid drinkers opting for home/reducing intake. 3 for 12 on Fosters, 3 for 14 on Beamish, 3 for...

Speaking of uniforms, Buckleys on Shandon Street. That must be around with awhile, and served half of Cork at some stage.

Don’t forget about Brown Thomas, although now owned by a Thai group, still a strong Cork heritage from the Cash’s days. Cummins Sports deserves a mention too. How many stores do they boast throughout city and county?

I think we are all frustrated at the moment. Somebody said to me last Thursday did I know when the squad was being announced for the weekend. I said no, and had no interest. He looked at me puzzled as I attend as many games as I possibly can. I replied that there was no point in paying...
