I take the odd look, but it wouldn't hold my attention very long.

Jom Shafted maughan(and Mayo) before Moran got the job it was queit clear from his media pronouncements that he was willing and and able to take the job if maughan was booted out only then to go all shy.
This is his year to put up or shut up.

Rubbish.  How can O'Mahony be adjudged to have shafted Maughan and the county?

'Put up or shut up' what's that about? 

And has Maughan nothing else to be doing that writing ill-informed tittle-tattle about the Mayo team in some rag?

Isn't he suppose to be managing a team elsewhere...a team which hasn't won a competitive game of football for 10 months!

Johnno could quote Cowen to JM:

'I will not be taking advice from any quarter which has been rejected by the electorate.'

I think JM took Johnno's stuff a bit too seriously at the time and it has led on from there.  Would really like Ros in the Connacht final next year, twould be a spicey build-up!

and your point is....
face it, wenger is a sour, ungracious man, he cant take a beating at all and is patently dishonest
im not questioning his abilities as a manager or the football his team play.
both are outstanding
but he can be an awful asshole
most rational arsenal fans agree

Off to London on Saturday and touched for 2 tickets for the Arsenal Newcastle game ... arm and a leg by the way..

1. Anyone suggest a good place for a pint b4hand..

2. Is it a silly idea to try and get a tube just after the game? or how should I try and get back to the centre of London...

Much obliged

last time i was theryre was at highbury.

the woodbine is a nice pub and a tube back into town shouldnt be too much bother

I wouldn't normally comment on an arsenal thread, but I have to say the attitude of the team, manager and supporters (the ones I have listened to today, anyway) is a complete and utter disgrace.

Arsenal finished with about nine 1st choice players on the pitch, but all we've heard about is their 'youth team' or their 'under-16s.'

Arsenal were well beaten and took to fighting amongst themselves.

The Arsenal end of the ground was empty long before the end of the match and the manager's post match comments reflected very poorly on him. Ferguson, bad and all as he is, would not have done it.

Shame on arsenal.

No chuckie is not back with knockmore
Word on mayo is that himself, macdanger & db will all be back towards the end of the league but nallen wont

Can't see Mc D playing according to John Maughan in last weeks Advertiser neither Mc D or Jimmy have been in contact with O' Mahony

Sounds like Maughan is happy to stir a bit of shit in his freesheet column

A elderly man goes into a bar and orders four pints and four whiskey chasers
The barman puts the drinks in front of him and he sinks them, one after another, in seconds.
The barman says: 'Crikey! I have never seen someone drink so fast before.'
Elderly man says: 'You'd drink fast too, if you had what I have.'
'What have you got?' says the barman.
'A tenner' says the elderly man.

My wife is divorcing men on the grounds of casual appearance.
I haven't been home for five years.

Pietas,

That is indeed a strange one. I thought there was already a Mayo supports in Dublin club.
I think that another one was going to be set up a while back and it caused some trouble.
You might find references to it in the "old" gaa board. As a matter of interest did the email say how much membership was?

I remember that moves were made to bring Mayo fans together through this board and a meeting was held in the Burlington (RIP) attended by John Maughan and Kevin McStay, but nothing seemed to happen after that. It would appear that the county board are now in cahoots with some of the people who organised that event (I'm presuming that's how come I've be emailed).  There was no reference in the email as to how much membership will cost.

Lads,

I received the email below this morning.  Unsolicited, and I don't recognise the sender. I have left their name and email address off the version below.  Did anyone else get a mail like this aimed at extracting a few pound from the Mayos in Dublin with the promise of a membership card, fleece)how apt! and free entry to ticket draws for which you subsequently have to pay for...bloody cheek)...

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Folks,
Just a mail that may be of interest to you.."Mayo GAA Dublin" (Noel Howley/Mary King etc) are setting up an official Mayo GAA Supporters Club called "Club Mayo - Dublin". I have been involved in the initial meetings around setting it up and we are having the official launch night on Tuesday 5th February (Venue: The Garda Club, Harrington Street, Dublin 8). John O'Mahony, James Waldron (county board chairman) as well as others will attend on the night.
Membership of the club will be granted on the night. On the night of the launch, there will be a presentation given as to where all money raised will be used...The money being raised is to help defray the costs during the year associated with the County Senior/U-21/Minor football teams...(Things like travel expenses for players, accomodation for the team the night before away matches, lunches for the team on the days of matches etc)
Membership will give you
"Club Mayo-Dublin" Fleece
"Club Mayo-Dublin" ID Card
Entry into a quarterly draw for 4 prizes: 1st - €1,000, 2nd - €500, 3rd - €250, 4th, - €250
Presentation of Club Mayo ID card at Mayo's home league matches will ensure free entry to the ground
Presentation of Club Mayo ID card at Senior Club championship matches in Mayo will ensure free entry to the ground
If Mayo reach an All-Ireland Football final, you will be entered into a draw to win All-Ireland Tickets. If you win you will be required to pay for the tickets at face value 
If Mayo reach a match in Croke Park, you will also be entered into a draw to win Tickets. Again, if you win you will be required to pay for the tickets at face value.
Let me know what you think! If you want to become a member/come along on the night, let me know your address and I will get an invite posted out to you.

Kind regards,

I have an account with Permanent TSB which I rarely use as it's just a holding account.

Anyway, last week I had to purchase a draft with funds from this account and presented myself in the bank with just my ATM card.

I wasn't asked for a pin number, in fact, I wasn't asked any security question at all. I didn't know the account number, and the bank clerk gave it to me, as well as the sort code.

I was presented with a draft for €10,000 and all I did was sign the docket!

Couldn't believe it!
