Hello, I'm Joel Taggart and I'm the football commentator for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Ulster. I get to see lots of matches, but I can't be everywhere. Hopefully you can keep me up to date here with all the big talking points from the games that I miss. You can also debate the big issues from the Irish League, the international team, and anything else that tickles your fancy.
