Will you be showing the 'All in the Game' programme about the Road Bowls again? I watched it and taped it for one of the people on the show, another fella who was on it missed it and I would like to tape it again for him.

It is very enjoyable.  Paying a few quid for decent prizes would be an idea. 

Still waiting on my prize from Pride.ie from my 2005 champo victory (or was it 2004 )

Good win for the Ogs yesterday against a strong and spirited St Johns side who failed to make the most of the wind in the second half mainly due to some excellent defending from the Ogs. I heard the draw for the semis has already been made with the Ogs Vs Dromintee and the Harps Vs Cross does anyone know if this is true?

Cross still have to play Silverbridge in the quarter, dont know if semi pairings have been made.

Harps had a good win over a talented yet dirty as f**k whitecross, Vernon and Swift were obviously targeted from the get-go and both received some heavy-handed treatment and little or no protection from the ref.  The game itself wasn't bad considering the woeful conditions, Whitecross played with the wind in the first half and took a few good scores yet they needed a fortuitous goal to go in level at 1-3 to 0-6 at the half. Harps looked a far classier side in the second half with the wind behind them they took some good scores from Chink Ward, Nippy, Kevin Kelly, Joe Quigley(inc a penalty) and Deckie Coulter. Good performance from the Harps and they kept their discipline well. Whitecross had good performers in their MF, CHB and CHF.

I'd take Clones anyday over Casement and Croke Park(for UF), the roads are a nightmare at times but to be honest I tend to miss most of it by staying for a few after the game or by haring it down to the motor straight after the game.

The Maze may offer a spanking new stadium but it will be a sterile environment in the middle of an area not overly fond of the GAA 

It's nice to see the GAA's efforts to reach out across the cultural divide beginning to  bear fruit, as evidenced by the growing use of Ulster Scots on this site.

More like abstract Haiku

He's still the best Journo at the Irish News by a long shot and one of my overall favourite GAA commentators.

Not often i would take a county board's side over a manager's, but Crozier made a dick of himself this year.

The BBC reporting of the Hanratty incident was beyond a joke, f**king disgraceful, if it was a newspaper that carried the story in such a vindictive way I'd never buy it again.

Benny - who are the 4 guys in Oz who would have been eligible?

Will Coulter be an U-21 footballer this year, or will the hurling be his first priority?

Bambi jr, Kyle McGuigan, Johhny Killen and Sean Morrison.  Coulter played CHF yesterday, good game as well, don't know if he's in the reckoning for County U21 football.

Congrats to Cross, must admit I didn't fancy them at all.   Does that put Cross top of the Ulster Roll of Honour?  Does anyone have a link or could maybe post the Roll.

Rufus dont know how you can mention who played well and leave out Vernon MOTM by a longshot, some other fine performances, young McCoy looks a great prospect.

It's a pity we've lost 4 lads to Oz and Peadar not playing is going to make it very hard to retain our title.

Having been at our AGM last week, I can safely say the County Board dont give a flying one about Club football, it's the BIg Joe show and it will be the ruination of the club game in armagh, some might think it's worth it for county success, I don't.

Please note that the Under 21 Championship match against Ballymacnab, this week-end, has been put back to this Sunday morning, 3rd December. The match has an 11.30am throw in at Abbey Park. Please pass the word on.

The Northern Ireland Office (NIO) will be relieved to learn that while the GAA is committed to as comprehensive as possible an analysis of grassroots opinion, it will not allow those views to ultimately jeopardise the scheme.

Bit rich coming from the NIO who have shown their contempt for public opinion in NI with issues like the Water bills and the new Rates.

The question of water bills comes from an EU directive, its not (directly) the fault of the NIO.

Not what I was getting at; the NIO were recently hauled through the courts because they didn't consult the public correctly regarding Water, they had to consult the public for 13 weeks, but they arbitrarily reduced the consultation period to 10 weeks to avoid more shit from the public.
