Never seen as many 1 sided games this year!! what so different in division 1 this year from last yr that all the top tier teams are hammering the life out of everybody?

Just done a copy and paste job of what happened from yahoo.

"These increasingly drunken darts tournaments are an accident waiting to happen. They have been for some time.
The most depressing aspect of a "fan" spitting on the ongoing world champion Phil Taylor before he played in the Premier League in Glasgow on Thursday night was the unsavoury episode.

Spitting on somebody is perhaps the ultimate insult, a disgusting act that no human being should need to stomach. The coward who opened his filthy gob to launch one at Taylor should be banged up for a week to think about his actions. Taylor appeared in shock as the camera quickly cut away from him to focus on what looked like a cross between a football crowd, a lynch mob and some sort of Billy Graham gathering. Darts players waltz on stage like boxers ahead of these matches as Sky have tried to dramatise and popularise the sport. It has worked to great effect in increasing prize money and player profiles, but what they cannot control is the amount of alcohol being consumed on the night. Any semblance of sobriety is also tossed out of the window leaving men like Taylor open to the elements at such primitive events. And open to all sorts of abuse as they make their way onto the stage like prize fighters. It would be interesting to know how many boxers are spat on when they make their way to the ring. Rather than revel in the marvellous skill of these tungsten titans, it would not be ridiculous to suggest the treatment of Taylor and his fellow world champion Adrian Lewis, who is also from Stoke, was probably an anti-English sentiment fuelled by booze in Scotland's largest city, a throwback to the old Scotland-England football rivalry that has faded with the demise of the fixture. Lewis said that he was worried about his safety during a match with Andy Hamilton. "I was shaking. Not because of playing Andy. I just didn't feel safe. Every time you come to Glasgow, it is going to be tough because the crowd don't like me. When they are swearing at you and booing, it's hard."

Its a damn classic and its only a friendly

Cork forward Colm O'Neill is unlikely to play football again in 2013 after it was confirmed that he suffered damage to his cruciate ligament during Saturday night's victory over Donegal. The news is a huge blow to O'Neill - it is the third cruciate injury he has suffered. He first injured his knee while playing for for his club Ballyclough in 2008 and again in 2011 while playing for Cork  against Galway.
Last season he won his first All-Star after a superb season in which he made a full recovery from the injury suffered the previous year. An excellent finish from Cork on Saturday night saw them overcome Donegal on a 0-12 to 0-10 scoreline at Páirc Uí Rinn. O'Neill had scored two of his side's four points when he was stretchered off early on in the game. In a statement, the Cork County Board said: "The news of this third cruciate injury comes as a huge disappointment to Colm himself, to the Cork team and management and to his club.

An Irish property developer who alleged he was kidnapped and held captive for eight months made up the extraordinary story, it has been claimed.

Kevin McGeever reportedly came clean after being arrested on suspicion of wasting gardai time on Thursday.

The former tycoon from Mayo - who was emaciated and disorientated when found wandering a roadside barefoot - said he made up the elaborate tale to escape financial pressure.

Garda sources said the 68-year-old caved under questioning, according to the Sunday Independent. The newspaper reported that the cash-strapped McGeever admitted to staging his kidnapping and subsequent release to keep investors off his back.

His plan went awry when the couple who found him wandering the Cavan-Leitrim border on January 29 insisted on bringing him to a garda station, which led to a full-scale investigation.

McGeever, who had lost about five stone, claimed he had been abducted at gunpoint from his gated mansion in May last year.

The businessman had the word "thief" inked on his forehead when he was found. His beard had grown out and his finger nails had not been cut for months.

He has since admitted that the eight-month ruse was an attempt to get breathing space from people hounding him for cash. He also hoped they would leave him alone following his emergence from the alleged captivity for fear they might become suspects in the "abduction".

According to the Sunday Independent, McGeever said he lived in self-imposed exile in a remote part of the west of Ireland.

He was quizzed for 24 hours at Gort garda station but was released without charge on Friday night. A garda spokesman said a file was now being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.

There may be a programme thread on here but dont see it off hand, anyway after getting good programmes at Galway and Derry home game against Laois, the programmes handed out yesterday at the Wexford games was a disgrace. 2 euro for 4 pages? awful what is the wexford gaa thinking? Wexford are nice people and their grounds are 1st rate but to even ask 2euro for this was terrible, they should have handed it out for free. In all my years attending league games this was the worst programme i have seen. Hope they up their efforts for their next visitors.

Foo fighters on bbc 3 now, for all you watching in Belfast please turn down your TV, dont want the neighbours complaining about noise twice in 7 days lol

After reading to much crap on replies to letters / psoting on the belfast tele website when is too much enough, On here there is a standard set of rules about what can be said, warnings etc, ability to remove postings, and outright banning of posters causing trouble, but there seems to be no rules on what you can post on their forum, people posting untrue statements, bigots seem to come to the fore on it big time, and it basically seems to be a free run for anybody, does the tele have no body who checks content before its posted online?? it seems to me they promote conflict to up the anti on it, very rarely have  i read any nice postings on it in relation to the gaa with a them against us theme a constant on it. hell there nothing worst that getting abuse for all things gaa when the people posting this crap seem to know nothing about it, they obviously never seen a game, know little of GAA values etc, but like mr frazier people they days can say what they want and get a fools pardon for it, about time the Belfast telegraph take some responsibilty for what posted on there website.
