Last post by Milltown Row2 - Today at 10:48:45 AMQuote from: Shamrock Shore on Today at 10:39:21 AM40 years ago I didn't know Live Aid was on.
True.
I was Inter-Railing and totally forgot about it as I was a week into my travels.
Only when we pulled into a hostel in Heidelberg later than evening did I see it on the telly in the corner.
Nobody was watching.
That was the town close to us when I stayed in Germany with Eurochildren back in the day!
Live aid was a serious event in our house, would love to know where are the old videos we had used that day, I was 13! but remember more or less the whole day and the craic going on with ones dancing around the house

Derry / Re: Derry Club Football & Hurl...
Last post by Topmarks - Today at 10:19:43 AMQuote from: bannside on Today at 12:17:48 AMPaddy Tally has to be up there with some of the best in the business. Take Mc Kindless and those others out of the equation and any manager would have struggled. There's no doubt Derry pulled out a few superb championship performances despite not quite making it across the winning line, more than enough to suggest he was getting to grips with things.
Something not quite adding up!
I think it's time Bannside packed his bags and took himself back to the Antrim board with some of the dross you're coming out with. No interest in Derry football from reading your posts other than talking pure dung. Paddy Tally might be the next saviour of Antrim football if you're lucky.

Tyrone / Re: Tyrone Club Football and H...
Last post by Tyronebadger - Today at 08:47:58 AMSpeaking of Glenelly, last night Daire McCarroll of Eskra (senior keeper for the last 15 years) played his first EVER game outfield, lining out at corner forward... Banged in 4 goals, the plum men didn't know what hit them.

GAA Discussion / Re: Tyrone v Kerry Semifinal 2...
Last post by Lamh Dhearg Alba - Today at 08:35:12 AMI see Spillane is now sorry for talking down Tyrone in the noughties. He was hurt by 2003 he says and as such spoke as a Kerryman rather than an analyst. That was obvious at the time. Set the tone for too many Kerry people regarding Tyrone though. Tomas O'Se and his crass Covid joke in 2023 and all the post minor final moaners about the ref were only carrying on the tradition. A disappointment when you grew up with reverence for Kerry football. Ger O'Keefe stands out for me for speaking with class and dignity in defeat in 2005. Kerry could do with more like him.
Unfortunately I do think Kerry will have too much for Tyrone today. There are questions still about all four of the semi finalists and as such hard to be sure what's ahead but from a Tyrone point of view the team still hasn't quite clicked. That's understandable given it was a rudderless ship for three years - the new management was always going to need team to put order to it while also introducing new players (and amid unique times with new rules). There have been plenty of signs that Tyrone are making progress, but also a very poor performance against Mayo and a very mixed showing against the Dubs even in victory. The Armagh game was also up and down so we're really putting a lot on winning in Donegal, which was excellent (and manner of it in particular) but makes for a rather thin body of evidence.
Kerry have also been mixed and their body of evidence really comes from the Armagh game - but it was a powerful piece of evidence. Hard not to feel they are a bit further down the line as a team than Tyrone right now and I do believe they will win.
But we live in hope. Safe travels to all.

Last post by DaleCooper - Today at 02:23:50 AMMike Breen in for Tom O Sullivan. Breen had a brutal hamstring injury in '22 and it was playing up this year so don't be shocked if he hobbles off.
Tomas Kennedy may start I hear as well
