[I know that GAA heads are fond of generalization]

I know that GAA heads are fond of generalization, but any suggestion that this kind of behavior is typical of Rovers fans is absolutely ludicrous. Genuine Rovers fans abhor such carry-on and condemn it unreservedly. There are many Rovers members, volunteers and genuine fans (I'm all three) and after all the time, effort and money put in, it is nauseating to see such lowlife turn up at Rovers matches, intent on aping there lowlife counterparts across the water. Their is absolutely NO excuse for the infantile chants heard last night. The Rovers board has issued an apology on www.shamrockrovers.ie - and if the perpetrators can be identified, they will be barred from future games.

It isn't an appropriate time in the thread to attempt to split my side with laughter with starting your post like that.
Any idea why the sick abuse was not reported to the stewards or were there any reports of other fans trying to stop them?

I caught a small bit on the radio this morning. It appears one of the Drogheda players (Webb?) recently lost his wife and is just back playing after her death. Some of the Rovers fans were giving him some verbals over it.

Would you expect more?

"Some verbals" doesn't quite explain it.
There are different versions flying around. Most are agreed on something very like "isn't cancer a bitch" was shouted at Simon Webb whenever he was playing close to the more noxious of the Rovers supporters. Webb's wife I think died from cancer. That's why Doolin was livid and Webb was reported to be shattered.

It is fitting that this powerful drama is being revived at this time, to counteract the deluded propaganda that sectarianism has been eradicated from Windsor Park

A play set in time 14 years ago does not counteract anything about WP today. What timepiece do you have?
   
I haven't seen the play. I thought it was about one man's reaction to the Windsor Pk "experience", leading him to examine and deal with his own prejudices.

Can anyone give me directions from Castleblaney to Latton?

What's the news on Lennon, how long is he out for?

Finlay picked up 2 yellow cards in two league games and had to sit out last Sundas thrill a minute in St Tiernachs park

Is there a change in the rules? I thought that 2 yellow cards in the one game leads to a sending off, punishment completed. But 2  dismissals in two games from 2 yellow card offences leads to a couple of weeks suspension.

Most of them couldn't be bothered to support the national team such is their hatred of all things FAI, John Delaney. Their radar of loyalty does not extend further than their club.

I thought I read in the scanty match report in the Indo that Finlay scored the winner, then in the report posted here
"substitute Paul Finlay splitting the posts to put Monaghan into the semi final"
Just one of those mix ups.

A point by substitute Paul Meegan

Is that a misprint? surely it should read sharpshooter Paul Finlay instead.
Thanks for posting the article anyway.

What does that mean? Not being rude, just I've no idea what a cricket score is.

West Indies 190 for 2 in 38.1 overs

West Indies were batting, they reached the winning number of runs 190, only loosing two batsmen.
They did that in 38.1 overs @ 6 balls /over
They reached the target that ireland set with 10 overs to spare.
That means they could have kept on batting another 60 balls if they needed to.
They just stop batting as soon as they better what Ireland scored 189

It means that it was a very comortable victory. Means if they manage to win another game it will be another huge shock
and the bodies will be piling up agatha christie style.

thanks main st. think i got sold a right dummy tho, not even sure if ita a real ipod at this stag, the interface looks different. says it on the box tho

If iTunes recognises it, then its an ipod. That's the equivalent recognition of a mother to a new born child.

If you are sending it back then okay do it. 
Its not the most sensible item to buy if its a second hand model, battery and hard drive have a varying limited lifespan and instant failure with a hard enough knock.
If you are keeping it then do the simple things first. Treat it as you would a hard disk and reformat the drive by
restoring and updating it in iTunes.

Just bought a new laptop.When i downloaded itunes and connected my iPod it tells me my iPod is already synced with another iTunes libary and that if i want to sync it to this new laptop i can only transfer and i will have to erase everything else.Is there a way i can get all my music from old pc to new laptop through the ipod

The ipod and pc is a kind of fundamentalist christian islamic marrraige.
Have you found out yet how to do it? Or did you wipe everything out, taking no prisoners?

just bought an ipod on ebay, one problem the language is in chinese. i can change it to english but every time its powered off it revirts to chinese.... anyone know if it can be permanently changed? thx

Never had to do it but if I had to I would follow these instructions first.

If you accidentally set iPod to use a language you don't understand
You can reset the language.
1 Press and hold Menu until the main menu appears.
2 Choose the fifth menu item (Settings).
3 Choose the last menu item (Reset All Settings).
4 Choose the second menu item (Reset) and select a language.
Other iPod settings, such as song repeat, are also reset.

Thanks for the info so far on Monaghan's trailblazing.
What's the reward for finishing first or second in the division?
Is there yet another new format to the league next year?
