General discussion / Whats the KRACK with Krack Attack
November 02, 2017, 09:58:46 AM
Any IT men on here, does most business that use credit card machines need to disable their WiFi
Ubiquity say that their later models with 802.11AC are immune

Do we all need to change our routers or wait for upgrades

GAA Discussion / Gaelic Football on TV
July 16, 2017, 03:41:41 PM
Duz any of ye have any influence in getting this stuff off TV. I have heard of penance and suffering including watching paint dry and having pins stuck in your eyeballs, but as bad as it can be it is worse when Tyrone and Down are involved.  There are two commentators and you would think they were describing a state funeral. I saw a player getting a black card for touching off another player.  Finish with this rubbish and put on a good hurling game because this hour and a half of "Sport on RTE" has done more damage to the GAA than could ever be done by anyone.

Hurling Discussion / Sunday Independent Sport
April 16, 2017, 06:29:19 PM
The Sunday Independent today had 16 pages of "Sport".   A copy and paste of all the English soccer matches, a regurgitated article about Diarmuid Connolly and Lee Keegan and the rest was about Rugby.  There was not one inch given to the League Hurling Semi-Finals, not a mention and Iarnrod Eireann ran a train service that arrived in McDonagh Station at 4pm.  There were 20,000 at the game and probably 140,000 watching it on TV but these gob5hite5 dont want to know about our national sport on an Easter Sunday.

GAA Discussion / Buying GAA Medals
January 06, 2017, 01:10:02 PM
With the dominance of the Dubs in the football, and it likely to continue into the next fifteen years, I am asking anyone who has resorted to buying medals and who visits any of the sites like EBay, Adverts.ie, Amazon to keep an eye out for the following:   2016 All-Ireland Club Football Final medal, Leinster Club Football Final Medal and Dublin SF Championship Final Medal.  These were taken Christmas week.   (Unlikely to be in Laois, we don't need medals, only in it for the fun)
Thanks very much.

Maybe the Dub County Board or AIB will see this and go into Joe Duffy mode and replace them under the circumstances of which they were stolen.

GAA Discussion / Ticket Scam
September 13, 2014, 10:00:59 PM
Needless to say ye are all too cute to get caught with this:
http://www.globaltickets.ie/store/product.php?id=156

At least I can't imagine Kerry Mike paying €350 for a lower Davin Stand ticket for a  "hurling"All-Ireland on the 27th September.

In any case, if any of you have www.searchforless and have a look at the companies (Global Tickets Limited)  details you will see that they are due for strike of.  Question is, as always, where are the two roofers, Pat and Alan getting all the tickets?

Ok, so we are all passionate GAA followers or the same posters would not be hrre for a million years. A lot of us have moved around a bit since the board started and just like Gabriel Hurl, got married and started a new life in what we will call an away venue. But when does away become home?

Myself, came to Dublin in '68, a million years ago, married a Dub but to this day if Laois were playing Dublin in football I empty the lungs for the Laois cause. Hurling strangely enough I would be a "silent" Dubs supporter if they play Laois and full blown anyone else.

I play an odd game of golf with father and son who plays for Dubs and Saturday I asked the Dad who he was supporting when the son is playing Galway in the hurling, he being from Galway and his answer was "how far out are we from the pin"

So are there any of us who adapt our new abodes for our home counties?

General discussion / Red Tape and Form Filling.
December 06, 2012, 02:15:27 AM
Is it me or does anyone else think that certain policies by business and state bodies are a joke.
For example, I got a phone call this week about a small pension I receive.
Caller.   Hello, I am looking to speak with ....(me)
Me.   Yes, this is me, how can I help you?
Caller. I am calling to let you know that your pension will be stopped next week. You never sent back the form we sent you.
Me. What form?
Caller. We need you to send bsck the form that states you are alive.
Me. Well the last time I looked down at my shoes I was standing up in them and since you are talking to me will that not do.......... and on it went but the final straw was when I was told "even if you were standing in front of me I will not pay you without the form"

Yesterday. New keyboard for laptop required, eventually in a big industrial estate with half its doors closed I find the
place and I ask " I need a keyboard for a Toshiba Sattelite Pro L660, can you give me one"
Answer " Yes, no problem but you need to go back to your home or office and email me an official order"
I didnt ask what keyboard I should use to type the order.

GAA Discussion / Jimmy's Counting Catches
September 22, 2012, 12:53:10 PM
Just a little more than 24 hours before Jimmy will be standing on the line with his notebook counting how many handpasses it takes to get the handball from one end of the field to the other in a competition that has beeen turned into an abomination.  For the life of me I can't understand why anyone would spend the money they are spending on tickets on what will be an over-hyped game of pass-the -ball and forty meter sprint competition.

Yesterday I was talking to a fella who must have more time on his hands than brains in his head because he drove from Dublin to Castlebar to try and get tickets. FFS !!  When I asked him why neither of the blondes were playing this year he went mad altogether.  Then he tried to tell me that Mayo would be taking their points from far out !!  Far out, the only thing in the West of Ireland that can be far out is the Ming Flanagan because for the last 61 years it has been widely accepted that Mayo could not hit a cows arse with a banjo with or without the blonde bombshell.

Donegal ? There is a Cork link here somewhere but I can't put my finger on it, I mean where would you get a flaming row and protests with threats of strike action over where to hold the All-Ireland Final celebrations before one of the approximate three hundred and fifty handpasses takes place at all? Talk about cheek, nerve and audacity, although Cork still shade it on all three counts? The best craic of all is the ones advertising "Hurling tickets for Football tickets", I mean how mad is that, to give away tickets for the replay of the final of the greatest game in the world for a football ticket ?  And then we have the endless over hype from RTE  and TGMAYO and all the radio stations who are busy tracking down eighty year olds who played for their counties sixty years ago from every country in the world where they were scattered in the hard times.

And then we have Enda Kenny.....and I will stop there but if anyone knows where I can get a hurling ticket would they PM me.

General discussion / Michael D - Up Galway !

Have a listen to this, or at least the last sentence. He would certainly frighten a Cat.

The answer is that Tommy Walsh plays the game of hurling exactly as it should be played, if he didn't Cody wouldn't have him on the team. As Cody himself said when asked "Does Tommy Walsh play on the edge" his reply was, "if he didn't I'd be very worried"

So here in advance are some of the questions and comments likely to arise after the All Ireland Final.

1.  Walsh started it, he looked at Cyril Donnelan coming out of the tunnel.

2.  The disputed goal was definitely wide, Tommy had pulled the umpires cap down over his eyes as the ball was being struck by Henry. (By 8pm and the Sunday game, said cap becomes an umbrella) Probably hear "Yeah, despicable act by Walsh, sure the Galway team were all out of line and walking into walls during the parade before the game because he was sneaking up and interfeering with their helmets"

3.   Did you see when Walsh called for water, that was that Frytex Spray used for cooking that he sprayed on the handle of Cannings hurl, Canning couldn't get a grip for the rest of the game.

4.   It aint fair, the ref knows Tommy Walsh is being painted as the John Terry of Gaelic Games and everyone wants to see him getting sent off. During the game the ref will be accused of being blind. After it he will be , blind, a bollix, stupid, incapable and a disgrace among other things.

5.   Tommy Walsh changed his helmet from Red to a lighter shade of pale for the last twenty minutes so that he would not be noticed by the referee going around Croke Park swinging like a madman at anything that moved.

6.   The umpires, all of them, drink in the Spa Bar in Johnstown and they would not report any dirty play to the ref even if Tommy went in and drew across one of themselves.

7.    News from the sideline was that Cody got word to Tommy Walsh to say if he didn't crease Tannion, Canning and Conor Cooney within the last 5 minutes of the first half that he, Walsh, would be singing songs and telling jokes in Langtons before the game ended.


Feel free to add as you wish but for jaysus sake allow some credit to one of the best hurlers that I have ever seen in Croke Park in the last forty years.  Time to stop the witchhunt?

Hurling Discussion / Dublin v Kilkenny
June 18, 2012, 08:58:29 AM
I think the Dubs are up for this and after their challenge game against Cork they are rearing to go. This will be a huge game for Dubs and for some reason or other I think they could pull it off.

Hurling Discussion / Clare v Waterford
June 17, 2012, 11:31:40 PM
First prize goes to anyone who deciphered the close up of Davy Fitz today and can guess what he was saying when he was giving it a lash. Second goes to what the Waterford manager was saying to the substitute he was making when he had him by the neck shahing him before releasing him into battle. All thats good about GAA captured by a clever camera man in Semple Statium. Great second half and great finish.

Does anyone know anything about this company, boards.ie  (Number 319114)
I got banned for life for defending myself against a libelous statement.

The nuts and bolts of it were that I was a member of South County Golf club that went into liquidation but only after it had collected annual subscriptions from members such as gilly the goat here.

In my case I paid them 1799 up front and also paid for another member in January.

Seeing no immediate future at the closed clubhouse,  myself and at most,  one other member joined another Golf Club.
A poster on the (South County) thread on boards.ie then stated "those that have joined new clubs such as (our new club) had done so using the money they should have paid for their membership of South County and implied that if we had paid our fees when they were due the club would not be in liquidation. 

The mods of boards.ie banned me for questioning the assshole that made the libelous post and it remains on the board. In my case I paid up front for my membership and lost my investment. All I wanted to do was play a simple game of golf without the politics and was quite entitled to join another club.

Since I know who the poster is and I have downloaded the details of boards.ie from www.cro.ie does anyone think I could sue both parties.
