Quote from: gallsman on Today at 12:17:06 PMThe big deal is that he was wrong, and Burns corrected him. Emphatically.

Seems a few moany Tyronies are a bit touchy about Saint Sean being called out on his nonsense.

He was caught out spouting BS and has now doubled down on it.
Burns perfectly right to slap him down.

Really strange misstep for someone working in the financial industry.

He probably didn't expect to get pulled on it so quickly and publically by Burns who seems to be setting his stall out early doors in the press.

He gave William Crawley his fill of it on Radio Ulster Talkback a few weeks back as well.

Quote from: Tony Baloney on May 13, 2024, 11:23:16 PMJohn Fury really is an embarrassing clown. Wasn't throwing many heads at the big fellas.

Is that the big lad who bust his own head open head butting the wee lad who didn't flinch?

Wasn't sure what was going on there!

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on May 13, 2024, 10:41:24 PMWas listening to that game (while ironing  :o) finished with a about 6/7 minutes left and it was all Liverpool

It was but Villa were always creating chances, although I don't care what anyone says that last Villa goal was a fluke, there's no way he meant to "knee" the ball in from there!

It's strange that how the voting patterns in a singing contest is deemed supporting a genocide in Gaza.

Who knew!

Quote from: clarshack on Today at 11:33:43 AMWhat is the big deal about what Cavanagh has said anyway?. The GAA has cash in the bank and is asset rich therefore some people might think it is a wealthy organisation. Bit of an over reaction from Burns IMO.

Burns was bang on and put Cavanagh back in his wee box.

Having cash reserves is good management as you never know what your revenue streams will generate year on year, plus the GAA will be contributing to all those centres of excellence springing up in every county and investing in other areas too.
If the GAA were borrowing money year on year to stay afloat it would be deemed poor management and rightly so.

As for the brown envelopes comment, get involved in your own club and put an end to it from within and stop gurning about it, it's nothing to do with Burns or Croke Park.

Quote from: tiempo on May 13, 2024, 01:51:08 PMKath on reception is currently the 8th best receptionist in the league, by 6pm on Sunday she could be 6th best, its a fickle sport but I wish her well in her reception-based endeavors for the week ahead knowing that her contribution far outweighs anything Rashford has done this season

Kath has been working from home too much and taking the complete piss. Now Jim has her back in the office she should be back in the Top 4 next season.


Well certainly the first team will be inspired by Kath on reception and the performances will increase accordingly.

Quote from: didlyi on May 11, 2024, 10:37:55 AMI think Cork People have every right to be upset. They are the most populous hurling county and yet 3 of their munster hurling matches are behind a pay wall. Something stinks about that, the Gaa know that these 3 games alone will generate huge income. Do the Gaa or RTE produce viewing figures for Gaago?

And two of those games were in Cork itself....

Well they can all watch the Tipp game on the television this weekend.

Disgrace I tell you.

Quote from: tiempo on May 13, 2024, 10:40:26 AMAhhh the old ... not having top quality football people ... chestnut

One step removed from Neville's 'best in class' trope

So to address that they've acquired a 71yo billionaire minority shareholder supporter and Jason Wilcox

The football world is trembling at the prospect!

And if all else fails blame the Glazers, who to date have 5 PL titles and a European Cup under their tenure

Any current successful team that doesn't have top quality football people behind the scenes?  The 5 PL titles and a European Cup was won with Ferguson still there and the structure of the club and how it was ran went with his retirement. The true worth of the Glazers has been seen since.

The biggest compliment you can pay Ferguson is how on under god he won the last of those PL titles with that team.

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on May 13, 2024, 10:53:37 AMStopping the Limerick powerhorses through the tackle is bring results, reducing the throws handpasses have brought results too, thought Cork for most parts brought that to the game..

Easier said than done considering the size of these lads, and they have a fair bit of skill too.

Not sure if Aaron Gillane scored from play, and that is a huge ask also, so a few things went well for Cork on the day..

The only time though to beat Limerick is in Knockout

It is, but Cork had no choice as their own championship life depended on getting the win, they were full blooded in that regard, but the question is, were Limerick?

Even with this defeat they're still favourites for the Munster final with Waterford left in their sights in two weeks time.

Clare beat Waterford and there's the Munster final pairings sorted.

Tipp need to beat Cork or they're out also.

Both are on RTE so that'll please everyone including Donal Óg and any OAP's who've no internet up a mountain somewhere who'd never been able to see the game anyway before GAAGO.

I'll get me coat.

But it reeks of owners who've bled the club dry and not one bean of their money will ever be spent on Manchester United.

How can you say that, just the £2.1bn in player acquisitions since they bought the club

And not one bean of it from the Glazers.

That was all revenue generated by Man Utd PLC.

MR2, was coaching the U10's the other night and one of them just pulled the sliotar out of another's hand during the game at the end .  I called a free and the wee bollox questioned me, but now I'm not sure if I was right. 

Was he right?

Evidently that was only the Donegal backroom team on the pitch after the game  ...
No wonder the Donegal chairwoman was a bit shell shocked  ;D

Some game in the pairc last night..
Fair play to Cork, they went straight down the throat of the Limerick defence with long ball and broke it off for the runners coming in late from deep.  They created some great goals and left some behind them as well which you thought might cost them in the end.
The Limerick onslaught arrived at the start of the second half with Cork struggling to get scores and once Limerick took the lead the general feeling was that was Cork gone for the year,  but fair play to them, they showed a good bit of fight and were hanging on with a few scores of their own to keep it a one score game and got their reward with the penalty which you knew Horgan was going to finish off in style.

Limerick have let teams get leads on them once too often and got caught out  last night.
Their full back line now looks a bit light,  Lynch was very quiet throughout. Flanagan turned up as did Guillane, but some of the others didn't and that will be a concern for Kiely and Co.

A special mention to both referees in Carlow and Cork, they had the bottle to make the right decisions no matter what,  Stack was entirely right to award the penalty right at the death when Hayes rugby tackled the Cork lad bearing down on goal. In hindsight he'd have been better off letting him get his shot off under pressure and at an angle rather than the penalty.
He also took no shit from the Cork keeper and his bollocking about.
Credit where its due.

Even if Cork beat Tipp, they could still go out on head to head as both Clare and Waterford have beaten them.
Still a lot to be decided yet in both provinces.

Quote from: snoopdog on May 10, 2024, 02:25:28 PMCity wouldn't have the fanbase UTD have so could give as many tickets away as thry like. Season ticket holders should get 1st preference.
A story you don't see published is the United team paid for all the tickets for the ladies teams families to go to Wembley this Sunday, that is 30 tickets a player. Yes its a drop in thr ocean for multi millionairres but they didn't have to do it.



Yet...

Kids follow winning teams, Utd haven't won anything of consequence in almost a decade and City have been winning Premier leagues hand over fist recently not to mention a CL title.
