when did this guy get a call up?

new season of Banshee has started well

Very heavy Fog in Armagh atm

But we'll still be able to smell the Tyrone fans 

Down wind with this sort of thing!

could fog and Lynx Africa combust?

Any sectarian language needs a huge ban. No matter what was said.

Correct, It says on the bbc website that the Ulster Council are issuing a statement today.

Ulster Council: Sorry folks, we wimped out laying down yet another marker. The aggressor will be free to play the majority of the league and all championship matches. As you were.....

[A dive isn't hurting anybody]

I see Harte unsurprisingly has fielded Donnelly and O'Neill in his starting line up even though they have already played for UUJ in the competition, a ridiculous situation and shows how determined he is to get the 4 in a row. What other sport or competition would allow such a situatin occur?

I hope its a good fair and physical (probably get jumped on for using that word) contest and if there are a few minor dust ups then so be it, there will be no crying here. Just hope that the game isn't settled by any controversial free kick incidents involving players doing impersonations of dying swans.

So what is worse - an elbow to the head or putting a player in a headlock or somebody going down easy?

Who mentioned elbows to the head or headlocks and why compare them to theatrical dives which probably occur on average 2 or 3 times per match? I presume you are digging about McKeever headlocking a boy against Cavan last year which was hardly the worst crime in the world given the situation (didn't even warrant a booking). As for the elbows to the head I don't even know what you are talking about here. However one thing for sure, they aren't incidents that crop up a couple of times every match unlike the aforementioned diving.

Between Findon and McKeever there is at least one incident per game.  A dive isn't hurting anybody but a headlock or forearm/elbow smash to the face is.

just the game. 

[Markovic put in a good shift as well]

Probably Liverpools best performance of the season againsta very strong Chelsea side, dissapointing not to get the win it deserved. Chelsea are very hard to break down when they play like that and it took that moment of magic from Sterling to make the breakthrough.
Some excellent performances from Skertl & Can (penalty aside) at the back, Lucas through the middle and Gerrard, coutinho and sterling all looked a threat at times. Markovic put in a good shift as well.

defended tirelessly against the most potent attack in the league. Lucas was superb.

08:34: Ban for sectarian language: BBC Sport NI Cavan midfielder Gearoid McKiernan has been banned for two games after a referee's report said his red card against Monaghan last Sunday was for using "comments of a sectarian nature".

Just right too.

I take it that was directed to one of the Wylie brothers?  They get wile abuse in some games.

what is it with grown men standing mouthing personal abuse into a mans ear during a match? I would have given McKiernan a minimum 10 game ban, send out a decent message rather than the usual watery bans handed out

Used to get it all the time about me ma and me sis etc etc.  I often found a sharp elbow to the snout stopped it!

I hear you BC1, but its more often than not the person who finally retaliates to this muck gets carded, and not the instigator

Enjoyable match. Back 3 solid. Cahill will be glad to see the back of Sterling

Toothless up front
A pile of possession and a load of huffing and puffing. Zero end product

It's hard to break down a Mourinho team. And frighteningly quick on the counter

[Mignolet – Emre Can, Škrtel, Sakho – Marković, Henderson, Lucas, Moreno – Gerrard, Coutinho – Sterling.]

Is no one concerned, or I am surprised it hasn't been made a thing of, that Liverpool's team is being constantly leaked.

For tonight it's meant to be;
Mignolet – Emre Can, Škrtel, Sakho – Marković, Henderson, Lucas, Moreno – Gerrard, Coutinho – Sterling.

The guy that tweets this has been right every game since early December from what I can remember.

WINNING!

[The Equalizer]

The Equalizer and Walk Among The Tombstones were great.

class show.

[When did you become entitled to see everything free of charge without getting off the couch?]

GAA people outside of Ireland (we're still Gaels) have been paying to watch the game for years, and in North America we're still doing so. What's so special about GAA fans in Ireland that they have to be given priority over those outside the country?

In any case you had to pay to watch the product for years by going to the match because only about six games a year were on TV. When did you become entitled to see everything free of charge without getting off the couch? Are you one of these people who climbed over the wall to avoid paying at the turnstile?

ah ha, the default assumption! If we're making assumptions, I'd be fairly confident that most on this GAA forum board are fairly involved in club and county.

You think that the GAA family in Ireland (who 100% produce the games you want to watch )should not have all televised games free to air, I think we should.  What difference does it make if only 2/3/4/5/6 championship matches were shown for years, people wanted more, and low and behold they got more.  I'll leave it at that, this is a well worn road at this stage, and well, in your mind, you're right and those with a differing opinion are 'spectacularly wrong'.

PS: For some context, I'm all for the promotion of our games, I lived abroad for many years, played, trained, coached and sold tickets blah blah blah  for several teams in different countries, formed a uni team and paid to watch countless matches on TV in pubs and clubs. Sell the TV rights to whoever, promote the games as far and wide as possible,  but leave the matches free to air in the country of production

Lads looking for a new show to watch after I've finished Game of Thrones.

i've watched Homeland, Suits, White Collar, Dexter, True Blood, Breaking Bad

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

Deadwood. ...Incredible show. A man's show though more than a couples show

The dive from that Donegal doctor there is priceless...he could be a premiership player

the best bit about the Donegal doctor pic was the fact that he was wearing his sunday mass shoes with the tracksuit bottoms

Re the great Armagh physicality debate. Id much rather see a team being physical than throwing themselves to the ground to win a free at every given opportunity
