Open to correction here but iirc Derry C'ship semi final in 93 Tohill scored 11 pts when Swatragh beat Dungiven 12 - 11, He was some player in his pomp. Ironically tho i also thought the only player i ever saw get the better of him was Cormac McAnnalen. Although he was prob in the latter stages of his career then.

It was the quarter-final and he scored 0-11 out of 0-14 (Surs got 1-10); he played full-forward that day. We beat the Watties in the semi-final; he got 1-7 out of 1-11. He got 2-8 out of 2-9 against Bellaghy in the league the same year.

Who was the referee? David Coldrick?

In work this morning, it seems that the only ones not happy for Celtic are the Liverpool supporters. Everyone else (including 'the other side') are delighted for them.

"Celtic fans think they're the best in the world now"
"We'll see who goes further, Celtic or Barcelona"

What do Liverpool fans have against Celtic?

I am surprised at this. I thought there was a bond between the two sets of fans after Hillsborough.

When Liverpool and their fans were at their lowest ebb in the aftermath of Hillsborough they were shown a solidarity from rival clubs and fans which still resonates to this very day. Along with Everton, Celtic came to the fore and the relationship which was forged in those dark days was so powerful that it is still in place today.

[The IRA fought a war for over 30 years with popular support from within their community]

Nally Stand/Glens Abu - Do you see the dissidents as Republicans ?

Well for me I know plenty who desist from Sinn Feins Republicanism who I would call Republican as Sinn Fein don't have a monopoly on Republicanism.If your talking about the dissidents who bombed Omagh or shot Mr.Black I don't know them and they my well be Republican but what I do believe is that they are wrong in what they are doing.The IRA fought a war for over 30 years with popular support from within their community,with all the latest weaponry and very experienced operaters but still couldn't beat the Brits.They settled for the best deal they could get[GFA] and decided to continue the fight for Irish Unity by political means only.I therefore cannot see how the dissidents  killing people at Omagh,Masserene or anywhere else will get them anything more than the IRA got.I therefore believe that these people are just killing  for the sake of killing  so would find it very hard to describe them as Republican.

Did they though?

[He didn't pm and still hasn't]

You took the bet before checking the odds, ye eejit.

I get out every now and again, you?

He didn't pm and still hasn't. I get out plenty

I posted, but in truth I was always going to check and lay it off, thats what punters do.

And I won't be. Your behaviour on this thread has been odd. I didn't make any odds up. I quoted your post. In my opinion, you took a bet and now have no intention of honouring it. That's fine. Not worth getting heated up over. My account is with Paddy Power and they didn't have odds for Ulster. They don't even mention Sneil for All-Ireland. Ladbrokes didn't have odds either. Even at 25/1 Slaughtneil are over-priced, I still will put £20 on them, not with you though.

We were the same odds today to beat Portaferry as Slaughtneil are to beat Ballinderry. Bookies can be out on the odd occasion also.

It looks like Cross will take some stopping though.

They shouldn't be nearly six time the price of Ballinderry. St Gall's were a lot more than 6/4 when the competition started. William Hill is clearly reading this thread.

Would anyone be overly surprised to see Ballinderry win the Ulster title? Would anyone be surprised if Sneil beat Ballinderry? That's my logic. Were St Gall's not big odds when they won their Ulster against Bellaghy?

[Slaughtneil 40/1]

What players are Cross without? 4 gone to Australia , were they all regulars.. They are 1/2 to win Sunday

That's great odds for them.  They have "drifted" to that.

Evens for Ulster is the best bet.

The Derry final between Ballinderry and Slaughtneil will be very tight. I can't see how the two are priced so differently for Ulster. It took two matches for Cross to get the better of Slaughtneil the last time they played and even then it was only by a point. I tried to put a bet on Slaughtneil this evening, but neither PP nor Ladbrokes have any odds available that I can find. And Boylesports don't even mention Slaughtneil in their list of contenders. Are there any bookies on here prepared to take my £20 at 40/1 on Slaughtneil for Ulster?

I'll take it, is this now before the Derry final?

Good man MR2. It's before the Derry final yes. I'll PM you details.

Sheamy is she from Culnady or Upperlands?  I drove through the latter a couple of times last week and it is properly festooned in pomp and pleasantry as usual 

You could say both, Aerlik. Culnady (Cuil Cnadaidhe or "nook of the sluggard") is the townland whilst Upperlands (Upperlands or 'place of pomp and pleasantry') is the planted bawn town. She's from a couple of miles from the town I think.

Not quite right. Upperlands is in the townland of Ampertaine,  Áth an Phoirt Leathain, meaning "ford of the broad (river) bank". The Primary school in the village is called Ampertaine PS. Culnady is a separate village a few miles south west of Upperlands.

I didn't say Upperlands was in Culnady. I thought, or was led to believe, that WH was from the townland of Culnady, 2-3 miles from Upperlands (or Ampertaine or whatever people who couldn't pronounce Áth an Phoirt Leathain called it).

I misread your post, I thought that is what you were saying. I've never thought of Culnady as the townland and always associated the name with the village - a bit like Swatragh I suppose. WH's links seem to be more Cuil Cnadaidhe than  Áth an Phoirt Leathain.

If you come out of wee Pats and take a left down Shuck Street, when you get as far as the turn off for Carn View, McMaster's cattle lorry disappears from the front of the Hibernian hall.

Is this a street view issue or is it caused by what you've been drinking in wee Pats?

I think Lavey gave Ballinascreen an awful hiding in 1990. The day Paddy McGurk got booked twice.
