What is a 'do' ?

What do you do at one of these do's?

How do such uncultured and primitive phrases enter everyday language.

Why does someone from Tyrone have to be the loudest person in the vicinity.


neanderthals

With a Jacket and a pompous fake accent like that, they are West Brits.

Some posters in this thread have a textbook case of Small Town Syndrome.

Aside from the logistics of how it would be administered, do you think that players should be paid?

I would estimate that inter county athletes  sacrifice at least 20 hours per week for their sport. This time is taken up by matches, trainings, gym sessions, physio appointments, travelling, rehabilitation, sourcing and preparing the right food & supplements, preparing equipment, mentally preparing.

Such a large amount of used time impacts other factors in their lives -

less time with their partners & children,
disruption with their jobs from having to work through lunch & leave early, being tired from a heavy session the day before & lack of concentration all of which leads to slower career progession
disjointed study time for students
mental stress from not performing well
criticism from less informed and ignorant supporters
falling out of most other social circles (this is important because players can be cast aside when their career is over)
difficulty maintaining friendships with non-gaa friends
no time to enjoy other things - music, relaxing, travel, weekends, nights out, nights in, quality food & drink,
managers instilling a tunnel-vision which leads to under-developed social skills

There is no doubt that being an inter county player carries a lot of benefits and perks. Some guys would say that they had the best times and experienced the most euphoric feelings of their lives playing gaa. However when their career is over it can be hard to recreate these highs.

I feel that the amount of sacrifices they make greatly outweighs the benefits receive.

Surely this is worth some form of retainer, no matter how small?

Unemployment in the North is 6.5%.

6-7 people out of every 100 is very low IMO

Compared to the late 70's/early 80's when employment was as high as 17-18%, then things are actually quite good, although pay may not be as high as we would like.

Where's this American football connection coming from?

It was on the radio that he was taking up a role in construction, no mention of NFL in the article.

Facepalm

Does it need a wifi signal or will the normal phone signal do fine?

Totally free?

Anyone use the Viper app yet?

Excellent footballers. Beautiful landscape. Some lovely looking women....until they speak.

A lot of people from Tyrone I have met had the manners of an degenerative animal and an accent that can only be described as vile.

Being in the presence of a person from Tyrone is an unpleasant experience.

Pettiness is pathetic.

For fk sake wise up

I could reply to your idiotic sly digs but I couldn't be bothered because I honestly don't care. 

Insightful contribution there AhJaysusRef
