If all the RCs joined the COI then we'd be free. It might feck up Drumcree sunday though.

Bit of a non story. 90% of people with 5 miles of this station are in the North.

Why does Oisin's Aramgh jersey seem to have a label on it, does he not own one?

A remarkable column from Tierney, the headmaster.

Ah now, you couldn't always be pointing out nonsense posted by teachers or you'd never get anything done.

On another note i had to lower the volume down on the TV because the high pitched screaming coming from the crowd is upsetting my dog. Rant over.

Why do you call your dog Rant Over, would plain Rover not be easier?

It was stated on the afternoon RTE sports programme that Armagh man Justin McNulty has been given this job!

Precient comments from McKenna in 2008:

"The Hogan Stand side comes up for renewal in 2010

In fairness the whole economic landscape of the country changed profoundly between 2008 and 2010, demand for many products and services has dropped greatly.

This is a non thread. If you take a job in British television, or French or German or wherever then you use "we" to refer to the place where you are. Paddy O'Rourke refers to us winning a game although he doesn't even live in Armagh, Micko is not a Wicklow person but no doubt has used we to refer to Wicklow in the recent past.

Cant be bothered going through 13 pages of thread.
....
What is the general gripe on?

So you want someone who has read the thread to tell you to save you the trouble.

The BBC do provide quite a bit of specific GAA coverage. However their general news coverage often gives the impression that the GAA is not of interest to the general population and their coverage of general GAA outside the 6 counties is extremely uneven, e.g. they might fail to mention a compromise Rules game while always mentioning a hockey international or the like.

I think Down will win this. Kerry are very shaky when they meet teams they are unfamiliar with.

More a case of Kerry being very shaky when they meet teams they don't rate. Down having something over Kerry raises them as a target.

Sligo just about beat Galway, so it is hard to justify them being 10 places ahead of Galway or Wexford.

We'll see at the weekend what teams are close to Cork, Tyrone and Kerry. Apart from those three there isn't a pile of difference between the rest of the Div 1 and Div 2 teams, just different motivation on the day.

He organised a campaign against his employers from his work computer ffs. How thick is that?

About the same as a soccer fan purporting to be a GAA supporter.

What would a spin from Carrickmacross to Portlaoise be? 3 hours? 

Not every that, 2:15 or so.

Re the Ulster final, people travelling home from a GAA match on the '11th night' isn't advisable. It would have to be 2 weeks earlier.

The Orange order should not have a say in the scheduling of GAA fixtures. Games continued all through the troubles and the 11th night is a meaningless concept in most of Ulster.
