Happy Christmas to all and here's to a good 2010!!!

A Christmas Message From Mr. Pain

At this time of year Mr. Pain's Paininis are snuggling up to a warm fire, drinking wine and eating turkey. Gifts are exchanged and kids make a hell of a lot of noise after Santy has arrived. A cold air sweeps outside and this year a white landscape blesses the day. It is a wonderful time of year for most but not for all.

Mr. Pain asks you to spare a thought for Mr. Pain himself. Today began like every other Christmas Day. Mrs. Pain got up early to sort out the turkey. The Paininis got their usual colouring book that came free with a magazine, or Santy if you wish. Great you would think. However, the Pain Dog hates Christmas. When you live in a council estate it is not very pleasant at Christmas. Mr. Pain is constantly bombarded with snowballs, usually with a stone hidden inside. One kid even threw a yellow snow ball which landed in Mr. Pain's mouth. The little trees outside the Pain residence were taken Christmas Eve and presumably placed in the homes of the unruly. Mrs. Pain burned the turkey as usual. That woman must have taken cookery classes from a bum and has the tenderness of Hollow Man. Dessert consisted of a small tub of Muller Rice or a Tangle Twister. Now, as the irked Pain-master-general sits in the cold his only respite is that Christmas is almost over.

So, Mr. Pain hopes that you all choke on your turkey sandwiches, especially Ballyhaise Man.

Christmas Rant Over!

A pinch of salt is definitely required for all stories and rumours heard around this part of the year...

Celt_Man · December 27, 2009, 03:24:27 PM

Anyone else hear that the leagues are meant to be starting on the same date as this year?? End of February or so.... (Again see above post)

Dougal · December 27, 2009, 04:45:27 PM

lyng is a dead cert,i know the lad who signed his transfer papers well,and donohue wasnt invovled with belturbet this year and might be looking to play football again.il find out later on if the fixtures list has been sent out to the clubs

jonb_cúl · December 29, 2009, 01:43:49 AM

lyng leaving crosserlough, you sure?

that's a big loss for them, thats a few players they have lost now. some interesting appointments already, i know very little about any of the new faces but alot coming in from other counties, killygary going for 2 monaghan men, mullahorn gone for the fermanagh option.
any truth that pat holmes is heading to the gaels?

tierworker blue · December 29, 2009, 05:10:34 PM

Hope ye all had a good Christmas folks...Happy New Year and all that jazz! Hopefully we'll see some improvements in 2010!

BallyhaiseMan · December 29, 2009, 08:39:58 PM

There must be serious problems in the Crosserlough club,
You had their best midfielder Declan Gaffney not playing for alot of the year in 2009,
Now John Lyng,a very good club footballer is leaving?

Add in their struggles this year,and questions must surely be asked.
Their is alot of talent in that club.

boojangles · December 29, 2009, 09:29:15 PM

I don't think John Lyng is going to Killygarry unless something has changed. Maybe a Dublin club though.

boojangles · December 29, 2009, 10:27:56 PM

Another tragedy for the Killinkere club with the news of the death of Tommy Clarke,brother of James. Not too sure about the cause of death but my condolonsces go out to all his family and friends. A very decent,honest and unassuming lad who represented Cavan at Minor level in 2002 and 2003.
May he rest in peace.
