Seen this earlier and was wondering how does Jimmy Magee fall into this bracket

Agreed!  Jimmy would be the 'Legends'  thread.  Start up a Legends thread Seafoid 

[Why do the GPA go to NY raise money,]

What is the GAA?

A funding mechanism that exists to keep the GPA in the luxury to which it has become accustomed.

+1

i would not be inclined to agree with Colm o Rourke on everything, but feel his is on the correct side of this one.


Why do the GPA go to NY raise money, how much do they raise and how much go to actual player welfare, if there is such a thing.

Junket first and foremost. Anyone have a breakdown or can it be requested from the GAA of the GPA's finances? Total from HQ, amount raised by GPA, outgoings on player welfare (amounts and to who), salary outgoings, junket outgoings, suits for junkets outgoings, fuel cards etc...?

Won more than 1 All Ireland without the aid of the backdoor

At least there is one were Derry are on the same par, well done!

6 NFL titles to 2?

Won more than 1 All Ireland without the aid of the backdoor

[Thought creed was excellent]

Saw Creed, was better than I expected.

I have Creed, southpaw and Spectre all lined up to watch next

Thought creed was excellent and southpaw was a big dissapointment.

Spectre in my opinion never really got going, could have been great. It got alot of praise but to be honest I'm unsure why.

I enjoyed it, but Bellew?!

Fair play to Tyrone - 5 in a row, will never be equaled - amazing side, Dublin are crapping themselves.

We not too worried about the 5. More interested in our fourth (Sam that is)

ECHO ECho echo......

Solace - Anthony Hopkins. Average enough crime thriller 6.3/10

[I remain sceptical about Teresa's ex boyfriend and something about her brother doesn't sit well with me either. The phone calls being deleted and her phone being hacked troubles me.]

Whether Avery is innocent I cannot 100% say, but what I can is he nor Dassey (who I believe is 100% innocent) can be found guilty beyond reasonable doubt with the evidence given by the prosecution. It's a disgrace and I could literally write page after page of the reasons why ( which I'll likely do at some point lol )

Lenk, Colborn, Kratz, Fassbender, Kachinsky, O' Kelly  and the two cops who took Dasseys original statement are rotten to the core. Maybe they thought they had the right man and we're going to do anything possible to put him away but that's not justice and they know Dasseys life is collateral damage for getting Avery, there can be no moral argument for their actions when a child's life is taken from him. They took the law into their own hands and manipulated the evidence. I've no doubt of that.

I remain sceptical about Teresa's ex boyfriend and something about her brother doesn't sit well with me either. The phone calls being deleted and her phone being hacked troubles me. Bobby Dassey and his father didn't come out of it well either. But NOBODY else was looked at, that alone is extremely poor police work.

A harrowing and thought provoking documentary series, i hope justice prevails, but that is rather in hope than expectation.

superb and very intriguing documentary. The bit in bold, I was thinking the same. The brother seemed to overly court the media and limelight. Neither were investigated which is baffling.

Dexter  (the blood splatter show guy) used to spend hours setting up his kill room to avoid any blood, DNA etc from being found. Yet TH supposedly gets shot in the garage with a thousand and one implements lying about and the room is blood and DNA free...seriously? The bedroom blood and DNA free? Crazy stuff

Joe in fine form

"He fainted" 

Derry's new tactic seems to be diving for penalties to gain an advantage.  Do their forwards have Stevie G as a role model perhaps?

Inspirational stuff

How's the Dive for 5 Commemorative plate set coming along? I've a man looking a set.

Fixed that for you benny

No harm in getting Shane Long in now for a few months.  The heart sinks seeing Benteke entering the fray. 

Liverpool 4 -  1 Man U

[It is a source of incredulity that he cannot commit to his county for the entirety of the relatively few short years]

Rionach. I read your comments with interest.For the record I am not denying Jamie Clarke's right to do what he wants.It is a source of incredulity that he cannot commit to his county for the entirety of the relatively few short years he,and every other footballer,has.He surely can only be making the decision not to due to his perception that there is little prospect of success.What sort of message does that send out to the county's supporters,who in their droves,and more so than any other county in Ireland, stick with the team through thick and thin? I also contrast this lousy attitude with the extreme efforts made by the likes of Ronan Clarke, who in the face of extreme adversity,did all in his power to prolong his county career.

Jamie can of course do what he likes,but he can hardly expect kudos from any Armagh supporter for this decision.

Ah man.  You've a fierce want in you
