    All votes in. Being counted now. McQuaid looks tense.

    Meanwhile, the Italians continue to cover the U 23 race, as if nothing is happening.
    Glad to see their priorities in the right place.

    :shock:

    It was thought it would be lots closer than that. I think that's a good sign.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Hurray for common sense - Cookson won; however is that the end of it ?
    Will there be a reconciliation or will it be the night of the long knives for McQuaid's cronies ?

    Cookson wins, do we now wait for another rabbit from McQuaid?

    I'd love to see McQuaid face, right now.

    apparently cookson had to get two thirds of the vote to overthrow macqaid so needed 28.

    Pat's ship just hit an iceberg and went down with all hand.

    I said some were confused over that earlier vote.

    All that stuff earlier around the constitutions really scuppered McQuaid. Cookson played it well.

    Now, about this 25K bribe..
