Small picked the ball clean off he ground in small square after he saved the ball on the line. Should have been penalty to Mayo.

Cafferty probably overcarried in run up to Dublins 2nd goal.

Kerry could have lost the game only for the scores they got at the end.

He gets paid for that.

I've been moaning all year since the U21 semi final about how we are a hated team and how so many "neutrals" don't want us to get back to winning ways or even close. I can understand this to a certain extent but now that we're in the AI semis I am shocked how many people who have come up to me and said
"Cheeze I hope ye go on to win it now, I'd rather ye than Kerry or Dublin"

No you are still hated.

Dubs next for Fermanagh.

Down never got the team that beat Kerry in 2010 QF on the field again.

Sometimes its hard to explain  why, given the same opportunities, some countries do worse than others

What did Greece do wrong that Portugal, Ireland didn't do wrong ?

The debts are very different. Irelands debt was all from property and construction so when the crash happened the construction boom halted and the debt didnt continue to grow and grow. Greek debt is nearly all from overpaying too many civil servants and paying pensions they cant afford. This debt without radical change just continues to mushroom.

That is not correct.

Ireland doesnt overpay civil servants and have a pensions time bomb ?

Every vested interest thinks someone else should pay.

Syriza have played a blinder in my view. Unlike the lickspittles that represent us.

Playing a blinder in leaving the country in chaos, with queues at bank machines, capital flight out of Greek banks and Greece being top story around the world for being a basket case.
And then they lie down, as they were always going to do.

I don't believe that's an accurate assessment.

I think they contributed to a run on the banks which created an additional hole of 10bn + and the resultant requirement to deposit assets in Luxembourg.

All sides are guilty. 

What do Pearse Doherty, Martina Anderson and the Irish loony left think of their hero now?
They were wetting themselves last Monday
Empty pockets can concentrate th'oul mind alright.

They're going to get a debt write down though

Something we didn't get

Greece is going to get a write down whether they stay in the Euro or not. Not because of politics but because they simply can't pay it all back.

The rest of us will pay for this write down.

The Greeks can't pay but Neither can pretty much everyone else including the US.

The stuff I have read indicates personal Greek debt will remain tied to the currency it was borrowed in ie the euro. This mean Greeks will be burdened with an increased debt burden relative  to their incomes in a depreciated currency. That won't work either.

I think you have something there. It seems like only Mayo is holding true to its cliché profile.

Perhaps but the Mayo ladies aren't great now either.

Havent read all 11 pages but I like it a lot.

Any merit in a limited play off for the teams ranked 13-20

13   Down (D2)   14 vs 20   Fermanagh (D3)   10.5
14   Clare (D4)   13 vs 19   Wexford (D3)   11
15   Tipperary (D4)   13 vs 18   Armagh (D2)   12
16   Kildare (D1)   12 vs  17   Laois (D2)   12

could potentially keep more teams interested in league for longer.
     

I presume this is buried somewhere in here

Seriously? Did he fall out a fecking window or something? Surely a fall off a treadmill wouldn't kill a 47 year old man?

Freak accident presumably.

Four seasons taken some flak for no supervision but have have denied it was on their property. 

Probably staying at  private villa this sort of thing.
