Quote from: Maroon Manc on April 22, 2024, 10:45:37 AMForest a joke, don't think any of those decisions are nailed on pens. Not having either of the first 2, probably need to see the 3rd again.

The whinging after the Liverpool was a farce and thats from a United fan.

Yeah but we have to look back and see who started this current trend of releasing these types of statements. It was they who opened this particular can of worms and now act holier than thou typically.

Clare's level dropped slightly but not by much and Limerick powered through that quarter. Clare did have a couple of bad wides in this period which might just have kept them in the game.

Keeper has been an issue for them for a few years now, but he is obviously the best they have. Great game and the only major problem for those outside of Limerick is that this will bring them on again. Ominous for the others.

Quote from: north_antrim_hound on April 22, 2024, 11:24:01 AMI was down yesterday, what a one sided miss match. Biggest disappointment was the work etihic as some players just didn't seem interest. Paddy Burke and Eoin Campbell were the only two even close to the standard. Some good players looked beat before we started.

Gleeson said as much, the players gave up very early on. By all accounts this is Gleesons last year and it seems to be fizzling out

This is what happens with these outside appointments inevitably.

Time to get our own house in order and go with a local and change the approach.

Quote from: JonnyD_ on April 22, 2024, 10:09:09 AMI can't remember a beating as bad as that in a long time. conceding 5-30! only scoring 0-13!! We've great talent in the county - this isn't on the players in my opinion.

team selection is very questionable in that lads who hadn't been involved in any of the S&C from pre-Christmas, hadn't played a part in the league campaign and weren't about the set up until a week or three ago were automatic starters and boys just back from injury were straight in. Smacked of desperation on the management's part.

I really can't see any other Div 1, Leinster C'ship team doing this! its possibly our biggest low in county hurling in the last 6/7 years!

Not hard to spot the agenda here  ::)

This result been on the cards all year and probably won't be the last before the season is done.

Quote from: imtommygunn on April 19, 2024, 03:04:10 PMI had a pretty positive experience the other day when our wee boy had an incident but in general NHS isn't in good shape. I think if it's a kid you're much better place but the more you read about it the more concerning it really is.

Basically they are running it into the ground to force people to go private. More and more people I know are already going down this route for anything.

Say it quietly around the Reds on here, but if Klopp goes this season without winning the title will his tenure be deemed as an underachievement?

After all they have been the best team in the world since he took over  ;)

Granted they ran into a City team in their prime, but one Covid EPL title seems to be underwhelming.

Unpopular opinion I'm guessing.

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on April 19, 2024, 09:55:37 AMIt was the pump that heats the water that's fecked!

So at the the boiler there are two pumps one for the rads and the other for heating the water.

If the spindle isn't spinning then the motor isn't working and that was the case, I said can ya fix it? nope, its a throw away world, ya need a new one

The plumber said that the water should still warm up though, it isn't, anyways I've been doing the Wim Hof experience for the last 3 days!

Pretty sure the pump doesn't heat the water  ;)
From my limited plumbing experience.

Quote from: theskull1 on April 16, 2024, 01:36:03 PMRory (as a player) and Tiger (as a non player) meant to be getting ownership of their own LIV team is what I heard.
And going the other way, the top performing LIV players will be allowed to play in some of the PGA signature events.

The PGA players who stayed loyal got royally shafted, any merger or compensation deal will have to involve big money going to these players.

Quote from: NAG1 on April 16, 2024, 11:58:01 AMSpeaking of Dele Ali, has there ever been a worse guest on Monday Night Football on Sky, Carragher trying his upmost to involve him asking him questions and setting him up with lines but still couldn't get anything out of him.

Personal highlight was when he was doing the analysis of the Arsenal game and he kept having to ask the score in the game  ;D

I would be hoping he wasn't relying on a media career.



I'd say its grand having a chat with your mates about football, completely different when there's a mic shoved in your face and knowing there would be millions watching lol!

In fairness I think for him he hasn't actually done any research on anything lol.. He'd no idea about certain games and seems as if he doesn't watch that many either.

Jamie is completely clued in and a veteran of doing this, the professionals make it look easy

I'd expect as bare minimum to know the score in the game  ;D

Quote from: screenexile on April 12, 2024, 11:38:07 AMScheffler was so impressive last night. He's so steady and very rarely makes a wrong decision it's hard to see him making too many mistakes.

Bryson was brilliant too apparently he has newly engineered clubs more forgiving for his game that only got approved at the start of the week. They seem to be working.

McIlroy will need a 5/6 under to get into contention and possibly need Scottie to have a mare on the greens!

One mistake on Augusta can lead to a big number and a big swing. He doesn't need to shoot the lights out today, just keep in touch as plenty up players up there.

Scheffler got the best out that round last night and despite Scheffler's form for 2 years, he's only picked up one major. I wouldn't be giving it to him just yet.

Scheffler be hard to beat with his levels of consistency, but if McIlroy can hang in he is more likely to have epic round, if he can remain close enough. Last few he has made a charge on the Sunday but has been too far back.

Shane going to need to pick something up in his second round.

Quote from: johnnycool on April 10, 2024, 10:11:43 AMOnly got round to watching the game yesterday.

Clare were much the better team over the 70 minutes especially the period after half time when they went 7 points up and looked to be well in control, but Kilkenny kept in the battle, some softish frees helped but also they're just never beat right till the end and TBH apart from the non penalty miss they'd a few chances for goals that were spurned.

Mossy Keoghan one on one with Rory Hayes in injury time, Hayes marshalled him well but I'd have expected a bit more vigor from Keoghan and he simply just tapped it over the bar.
No way Eddie Brennan or most of the KK forwards from that era would have done that with the game still to be won.

Clare looked good, but their dominance needs to be reflected on the scoreboard and they failed to keep the effort up over the whole second half, that is a potential worry for them.

Much being made of young Adam Hogan "buying" frees on social media, from what I see he does duck down in the tackle, but the bottom line is that there's nowhere in the rule book saying you can throw your spare arm out and around a player who's trying to get passed you.





Don't know why he is being singled out, every single player is at the same malarky. It is actually getting hard to watch, players running into a tackle and throwing the arms up to try and buy a free.

I guess there has to be more discipline by the tackler not to leave a loose arm in, but the refs need to start copping on to it as well.

Quote from: From the Bunker on April 09, 2024, 09:33:34 PMThe Double Treble is on and nobody in the media wants to mention it.
Media don't expect Liverpool to let the Premier league title to slip through their fingers hence why it hasn't been mentioned.

The Media know City are stink with Financial Doping. They don't sell advertising, Papers, etc. And there is not an ounce of romance in the achievements of the team.

I agree soulless club and no side left in the Champions league or FA Cup good enough to beat them. Both Liverpool and Arsenal are currently ahead of them in the Premier league so it's opportunity knocks.

The irony is that pre state involvement, they had plenty of soul, certainly a good part of their fanbase and the crowds that followed them in the 3rd tier 25 odd years ago

I think that is why opposition fans don't really care if or when they win things. They are plastic and their achievements will always be reflected as such. Total contrast to where and who they were before the investment.

Quote from: lurganblue on April 09, 2024, 02:27:48 PMMcIlroy just always seems to have 1 horrible round in him at this course over 4 days. 

He needs to ensure that horrible round doesn't kill his weekend, he is usually excellent on the Sunday but firing from too far back. Limit the damage on the bad round and put himself in contention and he is as dangerous a competitor as there is in in the field.
