I have a lot of respect for Pete McGrath, but last night he (because they lost the game) cancelled the minor's meal after the game.
What point was he trying to prove by doing this ridiculous action? Shocking way to treat young fellas who were undoubtably hurting after the defeat.

he thought this was the only course of action he could take after hearing someone in the crowd commenting that the minor team wern't hungry enough.

start collecting the supervalu tokens, with a full card of tokens you can then avail of reduced rates on loads of hotel breaks right across Ireland & the UK, the weekend rate is €150 for 2 nights B&B for 2 adults with kids staying free (breakfast charge of €5 per day per child), you really can't beat it for value.

Sounds like you have whats called a syphonic toilet which is a fairly old flushing process & unless you replace the syphon with a proper syphonic type syphon to suit you toilet it won't flush properly, if you have the old syphon try & find a brand name on it, fitting an ordinary syphon to a syphonic toilet is a waste of time.

Time to resurrect this thread, Boat back in the water on Monday past, hope to land the first catch of the year this weekend, it's been a long winter so here's hoping it's a better year than 2010 regarding sea fishing, won't be long until the mackerel are coming inshore, keep the posts coming.

St Colmans did not play to their full potential today. And to be fair they didn't really hit top gear throughout their whole year. They were up aginst a better team but they were the more experienced team and took their scores when they were against the odds, two hogans in a row is a very good achivement for any team. St Colmans are the kings of Ulster again.

eh- i think that should be rephrased to read 'kings of Ireland again', that was an All Irelaand competition in case you wern't aware of it ;)

I made a similar comment to Mrs Rambler yesterday (minus the soccer) but for some reason she didn't reciprocate my enthusiasm for a weekend of wall to wall sport, women!  ::)

Very happy with the win.

Inexperienced Dublin team playing against nearly Downs full whack so to get three points while expermenting with new tactics & shape was excellent.Most Down posters seem to be giving out about the ref, but I thought you got some very handy frees, particularly in the second half.

Down shouldn't have taken their foot off the pedal trying to wind down the clock before Dublin got their equaliser.

Looking forward to Easter Sunday now.

2 points for a league win in GAA Heffo  ;)

Collected my club tickets for Saturday - worst corner of Croke Park they could put me. Then I checked Ticketmaster to find that much better seats are available in Lower Hogan. Glad of any seat to see this match but still think this is totally wrong, it's not like it'll be a full house .

Great result last night after the disappointment of last weekend, we could have & should have been further ahead at half-time though, still nice to be able to go to Dublin & Kerry with Division 1 status for 2012 already secured.Now we can go there hoping for a league final place which was unthinkable 2 years ago, on a side note, I thought  the half-time entertainment was cringe, thought I was at a soccer match in Celtic Park with the songs that were being played over the PA & no on field games or entertainment of any sort for the supporters to enjoy.
A League final place is out of their hands, as beating both Dublin and Kerry would still leave them in 3rd place if Dublin beat Galway and Cork beat both Mayo and Armagh.

I said 'hoping' for a league final place if you had taken the time to read it properly, i'm well aware of the other teams' current league positions & possible final league positions, but thanks for sharing your mathematical skills with us.
