Sorry I mean was there ever an all ireland were a team that for example scored 1-5 beat a team that scored 0-9  because a goal at the time was worth five points.

Was there ever an All Ireland won with by a scoreline that by todays convention of three points for a goal would have been lost?

Michael Lyster did the Ulster All Stars Last year and I thought he was quite good although ive heard a few complain hes not value money but i don't know what he charges

I don't know much about Keady but are there two pitches in the town?  The one we played at on Sunday definitely couldn't hold the county final but I always thought there was one on through the ground.

I use it because I can configure it exactly as I like especially with xgl and I find there is a much wider range of products that I would like to use and best of all their free.  I on the other hand find Windows too restrictive and too prone to not doing what its supposed.

Yes a clonmore man doing umpire at a neighbours game hardly neutral, hes also the came cnut who got mckinney sent of a few years ago against Cruppen in the championship

top class asrehole!!!

Id need to check but Id be pretty sure hes an Annaghmore man.  From my many meetings with him during the years I can tell you thats hes an honest and unbiased an official as I have seen.  If he believes it to have been behind the line then I am willing to accept his word on the matter.  If for nothing else he had a better view than anyone else.

The goal was a bit of a joke, the gazette photographer had it on camera and showed that the ball was not across the line. it will be interesting if its in the paper this week.

Maghery were poor tonight, in saying that the ogs full back line had them well marshalled.

Problem with a still photograph is that it may not have a been at the exact second the umpire thought the ball was over the line.  Consequently the photo may have been just before or just after the ball did cross the line.  The umpire who gave it is our club ref so it will be interesting to see what he says about it.

If there's any1 at the match who thought that was a 'goal' apart from your club officiall (musta been getting a nice handshake for that decision) they'd need to go to their nearest specsavers and book an appointment asap!!!

Maghery were nothing special I thought and once again el cuervo proves his worth in the match prediciton. Same again for the final el cuervo??

When is the final down to be played?

From where I was it didnt look a goal but there was nobody with as good a view as the two umpires so Im giving him the benefit of the doubt

Ogs won by a point today.  Exciting enough game but poor on quality.  Hotly disputed goal kept Maghery in it.

Is this supposed to be based on players performance through the Ulster championship, the all ireland chanpionship (including ulster) or the whole year?  If its just ulster I wouldnt have Bradley near it, if its the full year id have a couple more Donegal lads in there

I missed the Dublin v Kerry game recently and found it very hard to get a torrent for the match.  Also had problems when in Texas.  I would advise you to be careful though as Setanta probably wouldnt take too kindly to you cutting into their revenue stream

the first question is what do you plan to do with the computer?

If its for personal use, and you're not planning on accessing some poorly run corporate network that cant deal with Linux then I'd recommend you pick some flavour of Linux.
Ubuntu is the first Linux version that passes the wife test.
My wife who has no IT background could install Ubuntu with just a cd , connect to a wireless connection, access the web, use all of the multimedia players and office tools with no assistance.
There are a couple of great little tools as well that really improve the user experience, one allows all the latest software to be automatically downloaded and installed in the background.
Unless you absolutely have to use windows I would try Ubuntu, even if you hate it, it wont cost you anything to try. Did I mention no virus problems?

The wireless card was one of only two things I had much problem when setting up ubuntu for the first time (back when pluto was still a planet), what card were you using and did it automatically accept pick it up or did you need ndiswrapper or the like? Also had a problem with getting xgl and compiz to work at the start but I have rectified that now.

As far as getting iTunes to work, you really dont need to there are a large number of alternatives ubuntuforums.org is very useful for this kind of thing.

I use ubuntu and love it but I would be fairly happy with my knowledge of Debian so I dont know if I am a good case reference.  I put Ubuntu on a friends laptop recently though and he would have had no prior knowledge of linux and he seems to not have any problems.

Also use Vista on my games PC so it really comes down to what you want to do.  The pc your talking about putting it on would struggle with Vista.

Installed ubuntu on my ps3 back in April time too though so that should show you how nerdy i am.  Have taken it of since as it had no practical use

Do you know what type of email account it is that you have?  If its an IMAP it will just be a matter of entering the new settings.  I have had some problems with customers with the method Donagh had linked to above.  Drop me a PM if you do too.

Managed to get four tickets yesterday morning without a single problem.  Ordered them online, I rarely have been unable to get tickets when I order online
