I don't blame you, I'd be sniggering too if I was a Cross man.

must be the way we are phrasing these debates corn because some folk are taking the complete wrong meaning out of it.

I have to say that I really enjoy the discussions that centre round the relative merits of the various clubs in the County. Rangers are of course ahead of the rest but I am at a loss to understand why people diss what are after all only harmless discussions. Yes, we may be in effect discussing who is second, third, fourth best, but is there not a bit of craic in that?

As for those that say the arguments are pointless, can I ask what exactly then is the point of posting anything on this forum?

Let's lighten up lads - if it's not your thing, then bow out - eh?

I just dont understand the mentality to argue that you're second best, who cares? The best, that's what matters.
The only reason anyone argues their club is second best is because, in my eyes, they've settled for being second best.

Of course it's only a pointless bit of fun but I just dont understand it.

I'll let you have the final word on this pints - I know this could go on ad infinitum.

I regularly partake in these discussions and I have never argued that Harps are second. The reality is though that Harps are somewhere in the order of merit, and arguing / debating where that is - amongst the rest - is a bit of craic - something I enjoy and is the reason why I'm here to be honest!

I am not involved any longer with our Senior team - committee only, although I am a supporter, attend regularly, and get to watch most of the other leading teams in the County. My opinions therefore in no way can be said to reflect a mindset from within our Senior squad that says Harps have settled for not being the best. These are my opinions only.

Finally though I would ask that those - including yourself pints - who point out the futility of these arguments, not see the irony in highlighting that, given that the same charge could be laid against every single post on this website?

As usual Pints has basically just thrown a comment in to stir up a bit of an argument for no other reason than to just be annoying.

My take on the whole discussion was that it was basically about naming which teams could mount any sort of a challenge to the current Ulster Champions and All Ireland Final Runners Up.

I don't see what is wrong in debating the attributes of these teams, do we really have to always talk about Cross? Maybe you're just bored pints because you're not arguing about 'The Bridge' in an endless spite against St. Pat's people.

Well that's fine if you see it like that, I'm just saying the way I see it.

As for the rest of your post, well...it would be an insult to orchardcounty to say it belonged over there

But I'll look forward to you having a similar dig at your club mate, who agrees with me.

Havent time to answer now rufus, I'll come back to it.

f**k you really are a twit pints! A discussion board and were not allowed to discuss anything! What about those teams in the second division are they not allowed to discuss the merits of their team just because they arent as good as cross! Catch a grip man!

Correct saan...but if we don't hear from you again soon we'll know the mods banned you...thats name calling can get you a suspension (if the right man reports ya...lol)

Thats true Pints if you don't like the discussion don't join in, go away to the greasy fry thread or the moaning thread and try your luck there...

At the end of the day pints who really cares what you think? or anyone else who agrees with you. If i wish to have a debate on who is second best or who is best then i will debate whatever i want. I don't ever remember having to ask permission to anyone when i am posting on a thread. This debate started when we were discussing the top teams in our county. Have an opinion on this issue or don't that is your decision but please quit trying to distract from the issue by taking cheap digs.
