Is it a pre-requisite for the Kerry job that you must be a teacher?
O’Connor, Fitzgerald both teachers

Drill a hole and have a look or get some fella with a thermal camera
If it’s a new house it sounds dodgy
If it’s an older house then it will pay in the long run to get the cavities pump with beads etc
Some lads on here had a discussion about the better types a while ago
No point putting up with a cold house, life’s too short

2005 Div 2 league final v Meath without a doubt!

I think Down were playing that day as well, were they?
All I remember is some fella from Down, who'd had a few drinks, giving everyone dogs abuse before he was 'asked' to leave. 
Which was a pity, as I think he would have quite enjoyed the finale.
Maybe Down weren't actually playing and he just came along to remind Meath people that, 'The Mourne men were well able for youse fcukers!'

Down didn't play that day.  Armagh beat Wexford in the Division 1 final afterwards.

There was a game after ??

GAA Discussion / Re: Your county’s toughest defeat to stomach

« on: August 18, 2018, 01:50:39 AM »

Although Sunday last was a tough one to take as a Monaghan fan I still don't think it ranked with the feeling after the Kerry defeat in the 2007 QF when we had them on the ropes but failed to land the final blow.  Also denied a late free in that game as far as I recall and that may have resulted in Kerry breaking forward for Tomás to score the winner late on.

100%
The 2007 defeat was truly one we left behind
Not just a chance to beat Kerry in Championship football but if we had won that day I truly believe we had  the team to go that wee bit further that year
I left Croke Park that day really really down
Last Sunday , maybe because I’m in Sydney and watching it on GAAGO roaring at the TV on my own and as soon as it’s over I’m thinking “ f**k it’s 2:30am need to be up for work in the morning!” I moved on quite quickly and on Monday evening when I looked at the game again I could be a wee bit more clinical and analytical and say we just weren’t good enough early on
2007 we were there every step of the way, mentally immense, physically bullying Kerry and had some magnificent displays everywhere, Rory Woods RAN the show, we were on it that day , really really tuned in and firing and then just came up short.
Tough man, really really f**king hard to take.

Anyway Monaghan football is in a good place right now , maybe that and the distance I am away from the hype has meant I am able to see 2007 as a much more sickening blow than 2018

Trailer you muppets read what I said. I said it should be a black not that it was a black.

Clotheslining someone to stop a scoring chance is just as cynical as the things already in the list for a black, it can be more dangerous and as such should be added to the black card list.

Why can people not read what was said before making stupid posts arguing against what wasn't said??

You don’t really understand the way this place works do you

Thanks.

I don't think Monagahan can have much complaints on the ref. They got away with a few throw passes during the match. They lacked another forward to help McManus.

Tyrone were brilliant in midfield, even that lad number 20 that came on fielded a great ball towards the end.

Encyclopedic knowledge. Well done sur

Subs bench starting to look thin with Meyler and McCarron out and Rory Brennan having to start. Mc Nulty back in the 26 which will be a boost for him I suppose. Be shit to be in a county panel and not get to tog on match day.

Just listened to Wooly’s podcast there saying Myler would be picking up Karl O’Connell 
Read the board Wolly!
