surely we can get something more offensive to get PC about after all down syndrome  is just word play using the full term for the condition not an insulting version of it and doesn't actually insult any body.
but calling  sligo 'Sligo schizo's' refering to the last 2 connaught finals  now that woud be offesive.

very disapponited to see Gardiner dropped . hes as good or better defender than cunniffe and has ahell of a lot more going forward and im very worried about Boyle he showed nothing in any game ibe seen him play so far that he is worthy of a county jersey . he must be one hell of  a trainer.
Great to see dillon back but he  half forward line looks a bit imbalanced Harte will play whever he want as a natural midfielder Trevor will spend as much time near the may as galway goal so will dillion on his own be enough to hold the like. think we need campbell or kilcoyne in there?.

Well done for spotting the big issue here

Rule Number 1 iin  Domino's never ever pay full price . there is alway some kind of a deal or voucher  to be had and they have  the most restictive offers ever and the thickest staff , as in if you dont want a ''FREE'' mineral your not getting the special so they'll try and charge you full  indiviual price .
they drive me nuts , got fed up of their Pizzas too

Padraig Joyce of galway

Lads listening to them comentators on RTE you would think Kerry could do no wrong. f**king jumping to their defense at every opportunity

that one of the perks of being champions . anyone who criticizes them are only whinging

I sat up untill 2.30am this morning watching 'The Deer Hunter'. What a shit movie

you cant say that to a generation who   fell asleep and nearly missed ALI V Spink (open to correction long time ago ) because of it, fond memories

i dont think its effective as the games seem to be going about 50/50 and maybe now the boxer is gone galway will try to play a bit of football sunday.  though i have my doubts.

Are you any relation to or are you that Ball-Boy character on hoganstand.com?

err no but im just doubting why change what they think is effective. well know from the line out what way it'll pan out.

well done barney , you can keep your OVA's EVA's and OVICH's always liked the czech/swiss miss

well it looks like there is no appetite for reconcilliation  on this board.
I really fear these unresolved issues will come back to bite again. esp with the tone ofn many of the posters tone. all it takes is a spark.

I don't think that there's not an appetite for reconcilliation on this board or further afield. There's just a serious mistrust.

Look at 1995. The residents let the Orangemen march down the Garvaghy Road. The only preconditions were:

1) It wasn't a victory for either side and
2) Dialogue between the Portadown Orange Order and Garvaghy Road Residents to sort out an arrangement for 1996.

What happened?

The Orange Order didn't want to meet and denied a compromise took place.

And............ well who could forget this



So ros, don't dare say there isn't an appetite. They've been burnt once and don't want it to happen again.

My mam still spits chips about that.   A quiet, unassuming woman but show her that and she goes livid.  I suppose having an uncle die in the Tan war doesn't help.

but time moves on both those guys are now history . as a southerner i have no idea of what it was like at that stage but do you want the threat of this hanging over ye forever?

wibbly wobbly wonders

all very well deel but did you ever have a bottle of fanta in annie munnelly's and have to wait there to finish it. i think it was so she could get the tuppence back on the bottle herself.
any one remember soft drink like red or orange in little pyramid shaped cartons . milk came in them too at one stage

we know at this stage galway think the way to beat mayo is to beat them up . they are not a dirty team and dont try it on other team.

i know quting yourself is the ultimate in vanity but you only read the 1st bit . I agree Galway dont try the rough house stuff on other teams event leitrim. but ther seems to be a definite impression in galway that mayo are all about bleached hair and white boots. i dont think its effective as the games seem to be going about 50/50 and maybe now the boxer is gone galway will try to play a bit of football sunday.  though i have my doubts.

we know at this stage galway think the way to beat mayo is to beat them up . they are not a dirty team and dont try it on other team. mayo may have a soft edge  . but that no excuse for chaging our mainly successful way of playing and type of player.
how you can dismiss gardiner as a half back when he has played 90% of his games there is strange. my view on austin are as constant as the nothern star . he is not an intercounty player. and as accomodations are made for him the whole team game suffers. if he had a bit more speed and awareness he would be a great player and worth building the team around but without it he is a distraction.

How do you leave MacGarrity out of the team?
Serious lack of defending defenders in Gardiner, BJP and K Higgins of a half back line,
And a serious lack of pace in the full back line.

Ronan MacGarrity is Mayo's most important player! Impossible to leave him out!

Picking them on form Harte and parsons were far better than Mcgarrity against sligo , also if galway go at mayo and throw the rule book out the window as they have been doing recently i think parsons and harte would cope better. and as with harte it should be midfield or nowhere for him. not having a CHF could easily had done for mayo .
the half back line is an attacking one because that how mayo should play the game and is there strongest asset and where sucess will come from if it is to come.
your full back line is a myth . try running alonsg side nallen or heaney and then tell me they are slow and they are real  top class footballers and we dont have many of those since Mac and Brady left, Dillion probably being the only other at the minute

remember the draculas about 30 years ago though!! there was another one ath that stage tuffy tops? with brown icecream and toffee choc topping.
Lemon sheretss from the Jar My No 1 ,
Scots clan are still out there oatfields make em but they have stopped making choclate bob bons, any one for a campaign ?

rosnarun, what preconditions would you put on the march?
What happens the following year, or the one after?

The best thing is to progress from where we are, not go back into it - that could surely be the spark.

preconditions would be tottally against the spirit of what im on about. untill there is a 'Normallization' of relationships between the communities there is always leeway to slide back into the trouble. we still hear stories about GAA fans being stoned whilst going through unionist areas on the way back from dublin . they probably consider the horn blowing and flagwaving (often tricolours for some reason) as provocation. though of course this becoming less of a problem.

my basic point is to say now that we have establised the principal that if you feck around, your march will be stopped, now  march away down to your church
