I don't think anyone can have any major gripe with this statement of intent.  It always takes the Longfordman to sort things out.  :P

BTW, I was talking to an experienced planner yesterday and he reckons that ABP will grant permission with reduced capacity, and reduced stand-height.

QuotePlease stop with the abuse and questioning the motives of people who disagree with you.

Is 'abuse and questioning the motives of people who disagree with you' not obligatory on the board?  :P

That'll be a serious drain on resources alright Gerry.  :P

Englerland getting a good kicking at the wicket. 145/7 after 40.

South Africa cruising after an early loss. 61/1 after 12.

Engerland 134/6 after 36.0.  Not looking like they'll even make Ireland's 221 now.

BC (and BC junior), enjoy the day out with the langers.  I'll be thinking of ye on the long drive to Northwest Mayo.

QuoteAlso, any sport that's regulated by tea breaks

It could be the official sport of SIPTU.  :P

Longford have had more visits to Croker recently than Derry, Lynchbhoy - sure Derry only get to go to Ballymahon.

QuoteWith wee union-jacks for them 2 wave as well no doubt?

Won't they be saving the union jacks for the visit of the British folk, maybe for the Ulster Final?

QuoteThe seats are a mixture of blue and navy blue in honour of the Dubs.

What did the Dubs do to get that honour?

Yeah Indiana, the whole of Longford were responsible for his bad behaviour.  We're ashamed of ourselves.

Oh aye lads, we'd have won by that alright.  :P

Ouch!  Just how bad was his offence?

QuoteFFS, if you're fouled in the box you go down, I know it may be a bone of contention but that is how the way soccer is played by all teams.

If Ronaldo (and as AZ says, it's not just him) is in possession in the box and hasn't a clear shooting chance, he goes down nearly every time.  If I was his manager, I'd be suggesting he might look up for a team mate an odd time.  If you get a name for that sort of thing you'll get booked, and I think you'd deserve it.  The different FAs in the main soccer superpowers should be discouraging this actively through the referees bodies - if they don't there's a risk that the game will turn into a farce like the WWE (wrestling).
