it was decided that it was too close to Greencastle so they canceled it

vick- don't believe the hype

Eli Manning- according to his father and his brother the best QB in the family.

Eli has more than twice as many 4th quarter comebacks as Eli in less than half the games. A lot of Giants fans may be yelling for a new QB, but the "experts" seem to think that he can do a good job (if he had some more WR) and just while they are at it, the Giants could do with finding some corner backs and a better offensive line...

i would be surprised if a QB goes #1 this draft. I think Quinn will be a better long term investment for a team, strong, works his ass off (benched more than any other back in the proday) He will be a solid reliable Pro. Russell on the other hand is a much more gifted athlete, the problem is his attitude, and that scares the bejaysus out of the drafting guys. Johnston may not go #1 either

Are you based in the US?

'fraid so

you could just change your proxy server???

you can just watch it here- much better bandwidth

hmmm american sports confession time. I actually played for the the craigavon cowboys in the early 90's. I got into it when a mate of mine got me a Notre Dame and a Bears top from the US, the coverage started on c4 the next year and the bears went a did a superbowl shuffle. I got into it in a big way to the extent I was listening to Notre Dame games on the US armed forces radio on long wave- not exactly crystal clear sound.

Living in New York now, I watch a lot of football, i would consider myself a Giants fan- but not to the extent that it bothers me when they lose (except to the Patriots) Was glad to see Colts winning, still follow Notre Dame pretty closely.

Strangely I played basketball a lot in School, and then again for Queens but I don't watch it or play it over here. There is too much basketball on the tv- it kind of numbs you. Its worth watching March madness, but the NBA isn't great anymore. Would keep an eye on a few teams Washington (I like arenas) and the nets even though I've gone to see far more knicks game (they suck)

I follow baseball closely- my wife has become a Yankees fanatic, but ice hockey holds absolutely no interest whatsoever. And just in case you were wondering about the other american sport- Lacross is not a real game.

Balls, wanted to get in first, but why don't the unionists do as they were told in 1921 by their king and prime minister and unite the country.
George V and Lloyd George, the voices of Irish nationalism
Or did they surrender too?

please dont disgrace yourself comparing that to 1250 republican votes, or more than 22 times the joke vote

Sinn Fein 180,573 I think you'll find that is 144 times the joke vote(RSF)- it is a bit of a disgrace all right

i was just watching the Galway league game there. Martin O Rourke gets some amount of ball but you wonder what he does with it? Diarmuid wasn't really in synch with the rest of the team. McGeeney was streets ahead of McKeever in CHB. McGrane covered serious ground, but is going to end up booked in every game- he walks a fine line sometimes. Andy Mallon excellent, Finnian Moriarty showed some good flashes and some poor ones. The shooting was brutal- Keenan must have kicked 7/8 wides in the second half. MOR wasn't able to hit a barn door. Kevin McGuckian did some job on Stevie...

1250 votes were for mc geough and mc manus in fermanagh and south tyrone and not across the six counties

Maybe- but don't you think its great that your boys are in the same ball park as a guys whose manifesto's main points are:

# New currency called the wonder

# Debts to become null and void

# Found music based REEL religion - under which everything is being filmed by cosmic agencies and when people go to 'rainbowland' they get a movie of their lives

# Invite bids from Hollywood to make a movie of how Belfast became a wonder city

1,250

just to put that in perspective rainbow george stood in only 4 constituencies and received 221votes (proportionally a higher vote)

oraisteach- watched the game in Fiona's on 1st and 86th- fair crowd watching the game

Not one for the purists! Enjoyed the last 20 minutes, cross could have stolen it with tony and oisin, however they played poorly. Oisin and donaldson did well I thought. Any update on coopers injury?

Maybe I'm missing something, but the idea of selling croke park appears to me as really really stupid. I don't get this whole somewhere for the kids to have a reasonable chance to play argument either. In the same way that it has always been the case, only the best players get to play football or hurling in Croke park, any young player should strive to make their county team and help that team succeed in order to play in Croke park, it is not just a right, you have to earn it.

It is an honour to play in headquarters- ask ziggy if the Greencastle lads will ever forget it- BCB I'm sure will agree that it is something special. Just because you make a final at some level you don't get to play in Croke- that's not how it works.

Selling Croke park and putting a new greenfield stadium what does that get you? A few hundred extra people a year get to play there and 40,000 pissed off fans that can't get to see the big games that they want to see 10 times a year.

when you have nothing intelligent to say, spout out an an abusive tirade of irrationallity and nonsense

if the Down ladies U16s reach an AI Final i believe they have earned their day in the sun at our National Stadium. The economics of Croker make that an impractical proposition. At the highest level of our games we can only fill it 3 or 4 times a year. In short it is not fit for purpose,and will forever be a White Elephant reliant on funds from outside sources to sustain it. Our money could be much better spent,and im sure most people reading this could think of many more beneficial projects

Do you count this as something intelligent to say? Not fit for purpose? Did I miss something or is the purpose of Croke park now to showcase the all Ireland Ladies U-16 final? There are about 10 grounds in each county that could accommodate that game. And just for the record Coke park is not our national stadium.
