Saw a Bin man in Warrenpoint walk past an upended wheelie bin on his lifting route, which struck me as extremely petty and wasteful, as a phonecall of complaint from the owner will get it lifted that same afternoon anyway

Toal was one of those players that you(me anyway) never appreciated when he was slogging his guts out,his loss has been sorely felt since his injury, Loughran is a big Ginny.  We still need a MF, Nippy is still too light, is Lavery from Maghery departed? he has always looked good IMO.

good idea.

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.
