Why cant stevie wonder see his friends?    Because hes married.

Tom waits in dublin, soul asylum <pre runaway train days> in london, joe pernice in dublin and soundgarden in manchester. No particular order 

Kildare def hardest draw but at the end of the day this is the sort of game we need if we aspire to progress further. geezer will have them well up for it. Son must start, he is very much a confidence player and could run riot if he gets an early score or 2 to settle him down.

The McCanns and indeed an O'Neill will cripple Tyrone on Sunday.

Thought we'd left all those days behind us...........................

their midfield is immensely better than Tyrone's,

and how do you work that one out??

Why is Daisy McDermott playing for EC IIIs??

Good result for Kildare, Geezer seems to have built a team very much in his own image and would love to see them have a crack at the  Dubs.

Just a small point though (and a pet hate of mine) - could Doyle not have kept his mouth shut during the minutes silence..it's only 60 seconds after all??

With the debate over the advantage rule on sunday, thought a section on rules might be useful. Starter for 10 - when does a club suspension carry over into county matches?

winning the peno

He 'won' the penalty alright.  .................although the aimless cross-field ball that gifted posession to Armagh  for the goal was the killer.

Although  Armagh went on to grind out the win a draw would have been fair result.

The next week will be chock full of rumours no doubt however:

In 2005 SF I thought Joey did extremely well on Clarke and could see him nominally named at CB to pick him up. Justin may well pick up McDonnell and let Block get on with his own game.

SON at 100% is a no brainer, McC in ahead of Penfold, although could he and Brian play together effectively? Both prob look for the same spaces / runs to give and recieve the ball.

Whoever McKeever marks will have a tough time of it - would be interesting to see him on Sean, although if SON AND Sean were on - who does he pick up?

Does Armagh have anyone to mark a 100% fit Dooher, or even an 80% fit Dooher?

'We say to Rangers well done. We say well done to Walter, the coaching staff and their players.

'We know how difficult it is. You may think it's easy, a doddle, but it's not easy to win championships. We congratulate them.

'I'm sure we'll give them a run for their money next year. We think we can win with dignity and we can lose with dignity, so that is it done.

If this is genuinely what Strachan said it beggars belief.

A few thoiughts:

9 Games against Hearts and Dundee Utd - we fail to win in 7
If the SPL started in January - we would have finished 4th
Strachan got to the knockout CL games with the same points total as O'Neill who missed out through bad luck.

The only thing that saved Strachan was the winning of league titles. No matter how poor we were on the pitch this was forgiven by the masses as another SPL was annexed

the board will roll over for him at will since he reduced the wages bill.

One can only hope he has the decency to go...now.

At least Geordie Messiah Shearer got relegated today.

Good enough for this odious stain of a man.

This Celtic team has been a joke all season.

The signs were there last year - all those last minute goals, far from being the sign of a great team, were simply the sign of a lucky team. A team where luck ran out this year. Because we won the league no one questioned WHY we needed 91st minute goals to see off poor, poor SPL teams.

Strachan has implemented no discernable style of football, makes erratic team selections each week and proceeds to patronise each and every fan with the bilge he spews forth in interviews.

Willo Flood - why pay that money to sit him on the bench?

JvOH /Samaras and Skippy - a strike force no-one fears (lets not forget Samaras was only 2 or so behind skippy in the scoring charts this year - says it all about our 'main' striker)

Scott Brown - if someone offered 8 mill we should bite thier hand off.

Naka - when Scottish football can accomodate a special teams player for home games only - then there wil be a place for this waste of space.

Naylor - a clown.

Maloney - should NEVER have been bought back. A stick to beat McGeady with. Lets not forget his last monuite 'herocis' in Seville either - that's the mark of the man.

Not one player in that team would have made O'Neills side, bar Artur.

Crosas (the only bright spark all season) should get the f*ck out of dodge if the wee ginger b*llix stays given his treatment so far.

Massive, massive overhaul required.

League lost against the worst Rangers team in 30 odd years.

Last seasons POY dropped to bench in favour of Maloney who has just returned from injury and in no way match fit. Who makes the f**k up that gives them the goal..............yup

10min to go, need a goal.....and Lee Nayor is sent on

Nakamura 100% anonymous again time after time can't even cross the ball past the first man

Celtic only themselves to blame...rank rotten all year long

the only silver lining is that the Ginger B*llb*g may now depart.
