been a member since 2006, haven't posted nor been reading in a while, for some reason I decided to pop in today and found this....RIP 5 Sams

Long long time since I have posted, but after reading that this morning about Slaughtneil I felt obliged to post. There are players playing who live in other catchment clubs, I don't mind being corrected, the most of them Glen, or maybe more accurately Maghera. But as Billy pointed out all of them have fathers, grandfathers, mothers, aunts, uncles etc who were s'neil members all their lives, so they took their children back to the club. Planning issues restricted new builds going up in S'neil for years, the fathers and mothers had no choice but to purchase their homes somewhere else close to their community, we had the same problem in our club until property prices started to rise and the local land owners greed ensured they sold before the thing went bust. Those players have got all their coaching and playing through underage to senior at Slaughneil. And as I said we are talking about 3/4 mile. In my view that is what club loyalty is all about, club and family first, what the Gaa is about. Never could understand a player who was committed to a club for the first 30 years of their lives and who then for whatever reason ends up living a handful of miles away not taking their children to the club the father/mother came from, however I will respect their choice to do it unequivocally, but I won't stand back and watch others criticise people who did what I would do, can't understand how anyone could not see this a bedrock of Gaa culture.

I haven't posted on the board in the past 18 months, occasionally read it, but not that much truth be told, and I stumbled on this thread by accident. Was shocked to read it, and find that on old poster who contributed so much to the board over the years had passed away. Really sad news. Great idea Orangeman and Ziggy, its a pity I wa unable to make a contribution, but glad to read the family really appreciated the book of tributes. Ardmhachaabu RIP

get that 'poor mans Michael Jackson' on that list

Rafa I'm serious, I wasn't trying to make a joke...youse are crap.

He should be transferred to the 'pool'...its about his standard

[all in the wars ?]

did evil gaafan say that he wore a poppy in support of a fiend of his that died in the 'great war' ?

oter than this I am reading from these posts that the poppy day thingy (which was a lesser known or celebrated event than say cancer society daffodil day is now - some 15 years ago )
is to 'celebrate' the deaths of all in the wars ?

if thats so then yes the udr are also 'celebrated' but by the same token I am correct in thinking that as it is 'ALL deaths' then we are also 'celebrating' the German dead, the Italian Dead, the Russian Dead, The Irish dead, the IRA Dead, the INLA dead etc etc...

I'm looking forwrad to this rely from EG

EG gotta hand to you, that was some post you made a few pages back....this is one of the few threads that I am enjoying on the board the past while.

was talking to a life long Liverpool supporter ( at least 25 yers he has been supoorting them) on Monday and he was ripping that they won, he was certain if they lost they would get rid of their manager.....I pissed myself laughing at him...a supporter

That was a cracking game yesterday....the ref certainly helped the game....thought he was super overall. A correct call for the penalty by my reading....and one real bad way to loose a game. It reminded me of the Offaly v Kerry game when Darby hit the net with seconds left. Gut renching stuff for Arboe.
