Does anyone know the definitive on red cards from your last championship game? Was it a straight red or 2 yellows?

Paudie Hughes is one of the best we have IMO
Good knowledge of the game & at least you can ask him about certain decisions, but as dont care syas if you mouth at him he wont stand for it at all - guess he will be busy Sat night

well thats great news on yon thug casey. i'll be looking forward to sarsfields being reinstated in the championship. its interesting the response it got and it's probably a reflection on the response it'll get in the county. one of the worse rows in a match in armagh and only one person banned who now doesn't serve his ban but lets go into the 4th day of complaining about a poor refereeing display. who said a few pages back about there being double standards in the county? dead right!  another kick in the teeti for the bridge.

Nobody on this site would disagree with you Pints, the Bridge got the shity end of the stick alright and maybe St Pats will get what they deserve

Lads what club is Paudie Hughes from? Is he the young referee with the sandy coloured hair? and what experience's have yous had with him recently

Tir Na og an you explain where the 7 minutes of injury time came from?

I don't know where he got 7 minutes of injury time from but I guess he wanted to correct his earlier mistake of not giving a hop ball which lead to clans goal.

At least your honest, i see one of your players has landed himself in a spot of bother with the law. I'll not name names or his crimes but i got a shock when i heard what he had or supposed to have done. "Holy Fcuk"

will yous stop the yapping. theres hardly a decent ref in armagh and no one complains about them more than me but we're going into the third day now.

Pints your just sticking up for your clubman "Mr Quigley", he had a black eye and swollen face on sat night and i asked him "what happened you"? He said i had an argument with a 500kg Golden Charlie Fcuk me even the cattle don't like him (he prob beats them with a 2" pipe)

Anyway Pint you are prob right, it's time to move on to this weeks games. I see the Bridge have picked up again from their championship defeat with a couple of league wins, It looks like the second division is gonna be between Killeavey, Cullyhanna and Silverbridge!!!

No, this Mr Mc Cooe is a prominent membe and former Tir Na Nog player

WE ALL HAVE OUR PROBLEMS

YOU CAN TAKE THE MAN OUT OF PORTY BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE THE PORTY OUT OF THE MAN

I'll give you my wife and i don't even want the tickets

I'll take her but only if she's kinky

I can confirm she is.

WHYTHE FECK DO YA THINK I'M GIVING HER AWAY, SHE'S ABOUT AS KINKY AS A NUN 

Then the clans got a sideline ball and the corner forward was man handled before the ball was kicked in front of his very eyes. His verdict he gave both players a black card and told the corner forward "not to run before the ball was kicked"

Hard to see how the clans corner forward was man handled considering the tir na nÓg corner back had both hands in the air and had his back to the forward. The ref was a disgrace the whole way through the match and should have gave a hop ball before clan na gaels goal. Clans really underestimated Tir na nÓg and it almost cost them!!

WELL WE BOTH AGREE THE REF WAS AND STILL IS A TWAT. WE DID UNDERESTIMATE PORTY A LITTLE BIT BUT THE RAINY NIGHT AND CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL IS A GOOD LEVELER AND FAIR PLAY TO YOU'S FOR KEEPING AT IT. SEE YOU'S ON SAT EVENING AGAIN

Where do we start with Ronan Quigley, has to be the worst offical i have ever seen. He gave the Clanns a goal that should have been a hop ball he played 7 minutes injury time to give portydown an equaliser (and prob deserved equaliser) just making up for his previous mistakes. He sent 3 men off and booked about 12 ruined the game completley, bring back big Sam McClatchy all is forgiven.

Was up at the Cross v Harps last night, Harps def had chances but didn't take them. They kicked loads of wides in the first half that were very scoreable. Tony mac got 2 yellows but should have been a straight red, any other player from any team other than Cross would have got 6 months in Magherberry for that elbow

dunno if its sense,would you stay to play for the clans if a professional sports team came calling offering you an attractive weekly wage etc? would it not be true to say some of the fellas "just there to make up numbers" would have started last year?

Well one maybe, but he knew he wasn't gonna get his place this year so that was that. As for the money craic "i already get paid to play" it mighten be a whole lot but it pays most of the mortgage

I'll give you my wife and i don't even want the tickets

Lads, seriously ask yourselves. You's ** Edited Mod 3** prob do not have kids of your own or you wouldn't be coming out with that shit
Them parents would do and try anything to get that we angel back. And what are you slabbering about why did we open the thread? "we certainly wern't expecting this topic, i love a good joke and a bit of fun like the rest of ya. but thats just not funny "its sick"

Lads i hear you all talking about this guy mc Allister, bottom line is that he is soccer orientated and when the mullah(£) calls he couldn't give a fiddlers fook about stupid sport. Now the lad has talent but i would rather see an ordinary 5 8th player playing on saturday night because this guys will give his all for his club and be at every training session that is scheduled. The game will be a close encounter and i wouldn't base anything on league form. Cross will beat the harps comfortably i am sure of that. The harps have a lot of ability but just can't produce it on the big stage. Like last year when they frooze against a mediocre Dromintee team at Cruppen.

Fair play to ya Winsamsoon, you don't post that often but when you do it's at least a bit of sense.

Trust me there were no fallouts in the Clans, we got rid of a few who where there just to make the numbers up in training. 40 of a panel was just to many so we told a few lads to step into the B's

Me "Colm McKink" , I'm Bump :Dy

Dont worry just theorectical, not a real job just a project.

Just looking for advice, Im trying to specify welds for a stainless steel structure. I am using 300mm Stainless steel tubes to hold up a glass wall. There will be a glazing bars at 1m holding the glass in place.

What type of welds should be used to connect the stainless steel together. if you need any more info just let me know. Yes i am aware how huge the tubes are. At the moment Im looking at using Flux Cored Arc Welds, Anyone have any info on standards of welds for such a structure

Explain this to that guy in Tarra Stainless he will know and if not a big glazing company can give you the info, glass is light (roughly 0.6kn per m) and if you take wind loading for the structure as well (another 1.5kn) it will not take much to keep her up.
