FFS, there is some paranoid rubbish been written on this thread...

Firstly the facts....


Munster will play their home quarter-final if they get one in Musgrave, their is no need or requirement to move anywhere else. Likewise Leinster can play in Donnybrook if they so desire but will probably play in Ravenhill.

A home semi-final has to played in a stadium with a capacity of 20K or greater and as Lansdowne is ruled out and the IRFU own no other ground with a 20K or greater capacity both Munster and Leinster have provisionally looked abroad with stadiums in Cardiff, Edinburough, London, Reading, Leiscester and Toulouse having been sounded out.

The following is a quote from Philip Browne from last October

Quote"Almost certainly such a game would have to played away. Croke Park is only available for the two internationals against France and England, and this is something that the CEOs of Munster and Leinster are well aware of and have done a fair degree of work in coming up with contingency plans."

The IRFU are not stupid and am sure that their as upset with this Mickey Mouse Counciller as some of you are. The IRFU are probably not happy with some of the arrangements but that is business and they have accepted that, their PR machine has always been positive and supportive of the GAA's stance on opening grounds.

Now as an aside my club Round Towers Kildare will be shortly be laying a new pitch and will be hopefully training out in the local rugby where the current Kildare Senior Squad Train and where the rugby club have allowed them install a GAA pitch that runs side ways accross two floodlight pitches.

Some of you posters really need to open your other eye. Tabloid culture gone mad!!!

Harsh but fair O'Neill, he really annoys me and like the writer above I don't think Hoyte has a future at the club but at least he's an honest committed player

I don't think anyone is being Anti-Man U, the BBC, RTE and many armchair pundits believe Man U's position is false. I think they will lose this weekend against Arsenal but if they get something from that game well then maybe they just might be the real thing...

OdoSkimodo,

I tried on-line and failed but had a mate in Naas who went to the Top 20 music store and picked up 8, we had it co-ordinated in case I failed on-line but there were no queues or anything for him....

Last November I posted Liverpool had a average defence, an excellent midfield and a poor attack and that if Liverpool tried to play football against Arsenal, Arsenal would win comfortably. I was told in no certain terms I was talking bollix, in fairness I think Rafa is a good manager but some of his signings are questionable and if I was him I'd sell Gerrard. Gerrard is capable of scoring fantastic goals sush as last nights but he was there last night to lead, he didn't and was anonymous for most of the game. Liverpool always had a great team spirit and for this neutral looking at them that team spirit is lacking.

They have conceded 12 goals in 4 games against Arsena and I havel picked up the following stats from 365

Liverpool's record against Man Utd, Chelsea & Arsenal in the league since Benitez took over

P15 W2 D1 L12

In all competitions

P23 W4 D4 L15

QuoteOf course i would have loved more and really the two we lost Westmeath 04 Dublin 05 we should have won both

maybe but you won one in 2003 that you should have lost....

From a Kildare perspective I agree with Josey as he has pretty much nailed it on the head, Kildare at the moment are taking 2 steps back to go one step forward and if it wasn't for Micko I doubt if even that would be happening now.

Hurling Discussion / David Kennedy Tipp Hurler
January 08, 2007, 02:41:00 PM
is now a Kildare hurler, played against Carlow yesterday. David is a guard in Naas, nice chap he is too but he hasn't transfered to Naas GAA but instead is remaining with Loughmore-Castleiney. Can someone explain how this is allowed, personally i think to have an All-Ireland winner in your team helps raises standards but just curious as to the validity  ???

QuoteAnyway, its not as if this Arsenal team are a sure bet for any silverware either, so I wouldn't get too smug.

Clear off J70, this is our delusional thread, you have your own we don't need any realists spoiling our fun. If only the goons could play Liverpool every week   ;)
