I got dragged down a road by some scumbags in a car. Apparently I had done something to upset them, though I have no idea why but one of them grabbed my arm  from the back seat and the driver took of down the road dragging me for about 30 metres along the ground. Gives me a shudder every time I think about it.

if all else fails theres a shop near me that sells all the old consoles in cheap packages, might be able to pick up a spare cable there.

It remains to be seen how our forwards are recovering. Hopefully we'll have Farrell, Bray and Sheridan back and also Cian Ward can continue to slot the frees over. Mark Ward had a good game at midfield last time out I hear. Perhaps Monaghan will try run through midfield rather than kicking into it.

Hope TG4 show this game online.

Monaghan will pose tough questions

SUNDAY`SNFL Div 2 clash with Monaghan at Clones is another one of those vital games where nothing short of victory will suffice if Meath are to harbour any ambitions of promotion.
Relegation now looks unlikely following victory over Cavan two weeks ago, but Meath coach Colm Coyle holds higher aspirations than avoiding a relegation dogfight.
If Meath are to continue the good work that started by winning Div 2 last year then they need to secure promotion, but that will not be easy as the loss to Westmeath has dented hopes, especially with Monaghan and Dublin being the dominant forces in the division.

Both counties are unbeaten this term following a draw at Parnell Park on Sunday afternoon, so if Meath are to secure promotion they will need to win their remaining three games.
The Farney men are riding the crest of a wave. Following their heroics when they should have beaten Kerry in last year`s All-Ireland SFC quarter-final they have taken another step forward by recording league successes over Roscommon, Cavan and Armagh.

That good form continued last Sunday against Dublin and for the first time in a long time Monaghan will wear the favourites tag when they take on a Meath side that has struggled in their three games to date. The Meath players have come in for a lot of criticism following inept displays, particularly against Roscommon and Westmeath, but Monaghan should will still adopt a cautious approach.

Meath had very few attacking options against Westmeath and showed with the return of Cian Ward against Cavan that they are capable of tagging on scores. Ward has been outstanding in the couple of games he has featured in and he will be the key again on Sunday, but he will need greater assistance from those around him.

Stephen Bray showed glimpses of his best against Cavan, but needs to be more of a scoring threat and with Brian Farrell likely to figure at some stage Coyle will be delighted to welcome back last year`s league top scorer. If Meath can utilise their full attacking power of Ward, Farrell, Graham Geraghty, Joe Sheridan, Bray, Peadar Byrne and Alan Nestor then they should have very few worries in that department. Shane O`Rourke is likely to be still absent, but the injuries are clearing up.

It is at the back where Meath need to tighten up. Darren Fay has been exposed on a couple of occasions - Johnny Dunning from Roscommon, Cavan`s Seanie Johnson and Westmeath`s Denis Glennon - he will need to be at his best against Vincent Corey, Tommy Freeman, Ronan Ronaghan or Paul Finlay. Meath will need to be disciplined against the lively Monaghan attack. If they give away too many frees they will be punished by Finlay and Freeman as 12 of Monaghan`s 13 scores against Dublin came from placed balls. Meath always tend to raise their game against better opposition and Monaghan will provide a tough test, but one that Coyle and his charges are capable of passing.

I remember when I was a kid, if my brother supported one team I'd support their rivals or just anyone else. So He supported Liverpool, I decided to support Villa. In Scotland he supported Celtic, so I decided to support Rangers. Was blissfully unaware of all the bullshit associated with the Glasgow teams. I remember some older fella (maybe about 15-16 me being about 6-7 at the time), asking me about it, if I was a protestant, I think my response was "whats a protestant?"

heres another question, if you knew of someone in your locality or elsewhere who was dealing drugs would you report them to the authorities? Baring in mind the possiblility that if you were found out to have informed the Gardai you could be in danger.

I wish Meath had a stronger hurling team, but I still follow the lads in the Christy Ring. I would be delighted if we won that title and while some purists may mock it as being inferior, but f**k them, I think its great that we have a competition that we can compete in.

Anyway I still like the separate hurling section.

was the assailant wearing a bib? what colour?

[whats your point]

you could say the same about JFK  MLK george best or 99% of dead celebs so whats your point

taking drugs is stupid and dangerous!

thought they were called the Dirty Dozen, well thats what me Dad a Galway calls them

yes,

If she was over-weight and unattractive would anyone outside her family and friends give a f**k, I never heard of her till she died and I dont see the fuss being made other than to serve as a warning to others that taking drugs is stupid and dangerous!

thanks puck,

thats a good team, canning is a massive boost, anticipating this year more than others. By the way I follow Galway in the Liam McCarthy, me Dad being from Kiltormer.

[a profoundly partitionist organisation,]

All the same I think that RTE is a strange sponsor. I also think that Vodafone, a profoundly partitionist organisation, make a funny bedfellow for the GAA. Every time a 6 county team play in Croke Pk, Vodafone make vast inflated profits from price gouging of GAA supporters. 

really, in what way?
