Where is Evil Genius?

A few pages ago he clearly said what he thought of these protesters and it was along the same lines as everyone else so why is everyone looking for him to come on again and say the same.

I think a legend too.

You've got to make the most of what you've got and he sure did. Not the greatest ability wise by any stretch of the imagination but for sheer effort you could barely match him. Did left back and left midfield in 2002 as Ian Harte was useless.

One of the worst footballers ever to pull on a republic shirt, zero pace limited ability amazing how he got so many caps.

What sort of a nasty little man are you. No pace, he had lots of pace in his prime. Gave huge commitment and always left everything on the pitch. To give so much and have arm chair experts like you belittle his achievements is just nasty.

Cavan beat Louth 2-14 to 0-12 in the Fitzsimmons cup Shield today. No other details at the moment.

Cavan were actually the First county in Ireland to have a 3G pitch, but its hardly a Centre of Excellence when most Counties have 4/5 training pitches.

Cavans 3g pitch is no different than what's in ballyhaunis. Its just a pitch and plenty of games have been on the 3g in breffni so its not just a training pitch.

Was down in ballyhaunis at a match few week ago, its a fantastic pitch and its huge however no one there could figure out who was really going to get the use out of it.

Abebooks.com is the place to go with international and home sellers. Getting them on time for Christmas might be your biggest problem.

I see they are trying to burn the Tricolour, lets see how that plays out when viewed in the US and UK proper where such sights are generally viewed as the preserve of wacko Al Qaeda types.

This rabble are showing the true face of Unionism. They sulked over Home Rule, they sulked over civil rights, and now they sulk over a piece of cloth, democracy is not in their DNA.

I've often wondered where do loyalists get tricolours to burn and those boyos in Egypt and Iran, where to they get the US flag to burn. It almost implies someone on their "side" is actually making flags to burn them.  In any case Mayo, they be burning tricolours regularly in the 6, its a hobby some of the loyalists have like you might collect stamps.

Doubt if the likes of Forster, Wanyama, Forrest and Hooper will be at Celtic Park next season.When the big money comes sniffing Celtic can't resist (Lennon practically flew Mc Geady himself to Moscow when £10m was put on the table).

Also Lennon must be coming under the radar of English clubs and perhaps even a few European ones now as well

I don't watch Celtic or Scottish football as much as I used to but I've watched all their champions league games. I think Forster is better than 95% of keepers in the Premier League and he will almost certainly get a move to a big English club. Wanyama is a raw talent and has huge potential and is almost certainly on the radar of some bigger european clubs. Those two will certainly get offers and its hard to see how Celtic can convince them to stay. Hooper and Forrest don't think anyone bigger than Celtic will come looking. In fact I think the other players that are standing out in the champions league are Samaras and Ambrose and they may also get offers for bigger money. A lot depends on whether Celtic can cash in on this advancement and increase the terms they are willing to offer their players.

Class, even the kids I teach (wee Protestants) laughed their heads off when I put it on the overhead projector in class!! Brilliant

Some 38,000 viewings so far.
But I've watched it about 100 times myself.

This whole mess was worth it just for that video!

Can someone tell me are the amalgamations going ahead for the senior championship next year or have things been changed?

A stonewall penalty, needlessly conceded. But thank you very much all the same.
Ridiculous. Wouldn't be a foul in basketball but we'll take it!
