This match means absolutely nothing!!!!!!!!!!


Look what happened last year:

Dublin hammered Wexford, then got hammered by Tyrone.

Wexford got hammered by Dublin-then almost beat Tyrone.

My dislike of Rossies stems from the 1989 Connaught Final Replay. One of their players (if you want to call him that) almost took Jimmy Browns head off with an elbow. Brown was knocked out cold and while he was getting treatment on the pitch (before being stretchered off) the Rossies all around us were shouting things such as "good enough for the cvnt" "you didn't hit the cvnt half hard enough". It wasn't just kids either-men, women and children were joining in.

Never before or since, have I watched a match surrounded by such Barbarians!

Dubs still on course, hype dead as a door nail, expectations ratcheted down-hmmmmm. Methinks Gilroy may be onto something. 

When Mayo "almost" won the AI in 1996, they were nearly beat by London in the first round!

What about Wilie Joe vs Cork-AI final 1989?

Does that mean ye'll be able to make change for the pool table............only kidding.


Well done. God be with the bad old days when Mayo arrived in the Hyde expectin a hammering from Earley, Mc Manus, Keegan and co.  A healthy dislike (and respect) of your enemies is what makes this game great.

You remember Nikki Taylor the supermodel....well I never met her, but I used to know her ex boyfriend......the fella who wrapped his car around a telepone pole in Atlanta and nearly killed her.

I also tailgated with Paulie Castellano at a Miami Dolphins game-son of assassinated Mob boss Paul Castellano

Michael Jacksons bodyguard sent me flying with a shoulder when I was a student in Munich back in the early 90's walking down the street minding my own business

Austrailian Prime minister at a function in Dublin Castle (I was working there at the time as a tour guide)

Brendan Grace-he used to drink in a pub in Palm Beach Gardens-sound man

Hey Slogonian....another famous Charlestown man once wrote a book-"No one shouted stop".


SSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

We wont make the same mistake again

When I lived out in Chicago I went to the St. Brendans dinner dance one year-$40 all you could drink.  I think they lost money on every attendee (and beer was only $2 a bottle back then).

The highest average IQ in that list (CT) is just about the general average. The Mississippi one would suggest a very large proportion of the population barely able to put one foot in front of another!

Then it must be right.

I lived in CT for 5 years.  In lower Fairfield Co you have all the Wall St. types living intheir $10 m mansions-who probably have very high iqs. thereby upping the average. The rest of the state is either complete white trash or black ghetto, whose IQ is probably well under 100. Half of the people in Boston cant spell their own name either for that matter

I thought you were talkin about when you used to "inherit" a pair of boots from your brother that were 2 sizes too big. "Wear 2 pairs of socks and a pair of insoles and theyll fit you grand". And they might even have been a pair of Blackthorn boots to boot!!!!!

[26th October]

The two Ros clubs are in action in the Connacht Club Semis on Sunday - Ballagh v their near enough neighbours Eastern Harps and Castlerea v Corofin in the Hyde. Kilbride play the Galway Champions in the Intermediate also in the Hyde.
RTE Aertel surpass themselves in disdain for Connacht and Ros once again - they show the fixture as " Castlerea or Padraig Pearses v Corofin" 
Surley the cnuts could have checked with the Ros Co Board(or even Brian Carty their GAA correspondent from Strokestown) who won the Ros final played on 26th October.
They wouldnt make such an ignorant mistake if it was en effin rugby game the Dublin 4 ar*eholes.

Jaysus would you ever off about Ballagh being in Ross. Next thing you'll be tryin to tell me that Ballina is bigger than Castlebar and that Ashford Castle is in Galway.

By the way I notice you never mention the fact that the best footballer ye ever had was a Mayoman born in Castlebar!!!!!!

Jaysus, I remember when Mayo got into the final in '89 a bunch of young fellas were going around lifting flags. There were people calling into Mid West radio giving out mad and The Connaught telegraph was full of letters people rarin up goodo.  Next time you put up a flag, you may want to follow the lead of the guy who kept having his McCain signs lifted down in NC.

Its not quite as effective as the guy out in Ohio who opened fire and shot one of the thieves

Looks like game over. Great campaign by McCain given the headwinds he faced with the economy, housing, stock market, Bush approval ratings in the 20 per cent range,  etc etc. I am surprised he got as many votes as he got

Congratulations to Obama-you waged an even better campaign, winning states Democrats havent won in decades. I didnt vote for you, so please prove me and all the republicans wrong.


5 min wait at the polls....I am in a blue state so my vote for president doesnt really count. I really voted for all the other issues on the ballot

Decriminilization of small amounts of marajuana-yes

Eliminate state income tax-yes

Ban greyhound racing-yes

Build new $4.5M fire station in town (for the 3 volunteer firefighters)-no

its been nice arguing with you all but I have to go to bed.

Bottom line is the country is ready for change. McCain is actually a pretty decent guy and nowhere near as bad as he's being painted. Obama is actually a pretty decent guy too-a little slick for my liking but he's one smart cookie and I think he will do a decent job as long as he doesnt raise my taxes. Long term senators like McCain rarely get elected because they've got a track record that you can hammer them with. Obama really has no legislative track record, so all you have to hammer him about is the people he hangs around with. No-one really knows what his positions are on a variety of topics.

Its my first general election as a US citizen so should be interesting. I voted in the mid term elections 2 years ago and was right in line behind a guy who's son was killed in Iraq-19 years old. Talk about democracy in action!

Good night

Did he accept a campaign donation - if someone donates online how is he to know that this person is an illegal immigrant? Just interested if you are asserting that a person approached Obama directly, with a fiver in their hand and told him he/she was an illegal immigrant?

You could do likewise from Fox Mr. Bolger

2 issues-(1) she's on welfare (2) she made a contribution to his campaign-both of which are illegal for an illegal to do. His campaign gave the money back. 

(By every account she's a lovely lady whos seen some really tough times and should be left alone BUT if a republican had similar skeletons in the closet I can only imagine the $hit storm that would have been on the front page of every paper in the country) McCains not getting a fair shake and thats whats pi$$ing me off.

McCain has Fox News and every talk radio host in the country shouting for him. Throw in popular conservative newspapers like the NY Post or the Washington Times as well. Then the negative ads, the robocalls, the emails, the literature inundating the country on Obama too. Are you sure you're just not pissed off that people aren't responding to them?

Per Wikipedia-so I cant vouch for its accuracy

During the 2008 United States presidential election, newspapers, magazines, and other publications made general election endorsements. As of November 3, 2008, Barack Obama had received close to three times as many publication endorsements as John McCain; in terms of circulation, the ratio was close to 4 to 1, according to the detailed tables below. In summary:

Summary of Endorsements (with circulation) as of November 1, 2008  
Obama   McCain
pubs. circ.   pubs. circ.
Daily Newspapers[1] 315 30,630,489   145 10,552,019
Magazines, weekly papers, and other publications 143 8,958,480   26 445,992
Total 458 39,588,969   171 10,998,011
Party Switches 62     9  

According to Editor & Publisher magazine, as of October 31, was 240 newspapers to 114. By comparison, the magazine reported that before election day in 2004, John Kerry received 213 endorsements compared to 205 for George W. Bush.[2]

The 'free" media (eg NPR) is overwhelmingly in favor of Obama-you have to pay to watch Fox. Fox only appeals to those who hold right wing views to begin with, and probably people who have access to many other sources of information. The "free" media is (imho) probably the main source of information for many low income voters and radion stations like NPR are heavily subsidized by taxpayer money.

There is 2 sides to every story....and the truth lies somewhere in the middle!!!!!
