Quote from: imtommygunn on November 04, 2024, 11:07:59 AMJames McCarthy. What a player.

Between him and Tomas ose for the best half backs I've seen in my time.
Philip Jordan for me with O'Se.

We can all have our favourite players and rose tinted glasses.

But as good a player as Philip Jordan was, the gap between Jordan and James McCarthy is roughly the same as that between Jordan and the average county standard wing back.


Don't agree with that at all, Jordan 03-09 was a phenomenal footballer, would be in the conversation
McCarthy better in my opinion but not by a big margin. Jordan definitely up there as one of the stand out half backs of the last 25 years.

as much as I am not a fan of his I would have to agree. Maybe a separate conversation though as I can think of a few who would be in the conversation

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on November 04, 2024, 10:07:22 PMWill you be touting on you're fellow Irishmen without the proper documentation?


I wouldn't tout on anyone but if Irish people of are breaking the law I would expect law enforcement to treat them no differently to other law breakers

Breaking the law like living in a country illegally?

So a group of Roma allegedly gang raped an Irish teenager in the West of Ireland and you're response is youre worried about what Irish illegals are doing 3,000 miles away in the United States

Makes perfect sense

It's a simple enough question, even for your tiny brain to answer.

You are the one with problems on immigration

If the Irish illegals in the US were on welfare and allegedly involved in the rape of a minor, yes....I would have a problem with that



and what if they werent on welfare? Youd be ok with that

Another excellent year out the field.
Morgan not a bad shout.

This may be odd from an Armagh man but I really like Morgan. Great keeper. I just don't think he was the best this year and combine that with Tyrone's poor year overall i don't think he should have got it over Hughes. The recent inter provincials could have played a part too.

Blaine and Aaron were robbed, the goalkeeper one especially is a farce.

Agreed

Should have been called off this morning and not 30 mins before throw in. Fixed for 6 next sat evening
PSNI made the call apparently, not Armagh GAA

Armagh could have been endangering public safety in the view of the PSNI, but they could have simply looked at the weather forecast and prevented things getting to that. 
Yeah i get you, just saying who actually made the call here

point is, they should have called it that morning. Armagh GAA that is

Quote from: AustinPowers on October 20, 2024, 06:28:50 PMAt least two  of you were paying attention . You passed my test  ;)

Must have been the  2017 semi then
:D  :D  Dublin beat Tyrone by about 12 points in 2017 semi-final with Harte playing Mark Bradley alone up front... that's hardly Jim Gavin stinking the place out. Go again..

Maybe he did  , but I  distinctly remember Dublin piggy-in-the-middle'd  Tyrone to death that day. It was clinical piggy in the middle tactics , but my God , it  bored the  arse off me
2-17 to 0-11.. I'd say Dubs were bored too. Ran rings round us

If I remember right that game was over after about 15 mins

Quote from: Rufus T Firefly on October 14, 2024, 10:23:13 AMThe footage doing the rounds on social media of people being burned alive in their tents, after the bombing of the hospital in Gaza yesterday, is truly horrifying. The fact that this is allowed to happen in the 21st century underlines the brutal reality - that in the West, these people's lives are considered to be of absolutely no value.

Utterly desperate. 

this absolutely broke me. Everytime you think things cant get worse you are proven wrong. I am hoping those videos are a turning point but I doubt it

Not a hope in hell. You see the likes of above, Sandy Hook and a 101 other devastating incidents, makes no odds to the sociopaths making billions, zero

youre probably right and it makes me dread what we will see next

Quote from: Aristo 60 on October 16, 2024, 12:16:59 PMI, 100%, don't believe in ghosts but as I've the time today to tell the story below, I will.

Around 12 years ago myself and my lady were staying in a well known Dublin hotel that I only learned after our stay has a history of ghost(s).

I was in bed (likely asleep) when a paralysing fear the like of which I had never experienced before or since came over me. Someone was in the room. Try as I might, my body would not move but seemingly I was at least semi conscious as I could feel my heart absolutely pounding with fear. The paralysis persisted for what seemed like an eternity. On reflection now I think I was probably dreaming or in some state of semi consciousness - but in my mind's eye I could clearly see a hooded / cloaked figure moving in the room - but particularly just inside the door of the room. I don't know whether I went back into a deep sleep at that point but the 'event' definitely ended for me and all was well. 

Until the following.

Later that same night the girlfriend, who would sometimes talk in her sleep, woke or at least partially woke me. She was in a full on state of panic (but as I know now also probably asleep) - claiming someone was in our room. This time I was more awake but again teetering on the edge of consciousness. Having had my own experience on the same night, my heart obviously immediately started doing somersaults - but instead of me reacting to her claim I softly scolded her back to sleep by telling her not to be silly. That was totally contrary to what I was feeling and for the second time I was completely paralysed with fear.

The second 'event' passed as well and all was fine.

When we woke the next morning our respective 'dreams' were all we could talk about. It was obvious that no-one had physically been in the room but both of us 'saw' the same cloaked / hooded figure loitering in the room and both visions were in dreams / semi consciousness. I could see now that my mind's eye view of the figure standing in the doorway couldn't have been the case as the door wasn't visible from the bed  - but both of us (we don't take drugs, little alcohol) were convinced that someone / something wearing a hooded cloak had been in the room.

The sense of fear that I experienced that night has never left me and I tried to explain it to several people until months later I was recounting the whole incident to an old aunt. Straight away she considered we'd be in the presence of a ghost.

That all said, I don't believe in ghosts - and neither should you. Laugh at me, ridicule me all you like but I wish that none of you experience the level of fear we did that night.







   





sounds like sleep paralysis where your mind is half awake but body fully asleep. Ive had it happen a couple of times and its terrifying. It happening to both of you on the same night is odd
