^{Yeah Being a Toffee fan I will be in the pub from 12.30pm}


There's no accounting for taste i suppose!!  

Dunno how I feel about this one. It's a loan deal so the risk is pretty low!!
Not sure how well he will fit into the liverpool set-up!! With Sissoko back ready in the next week or so is there much of a need for him? I don't doubt that he's a decent signing but i would hate to think that his coming could signal Alonso leaving!!

^{Is that the last of the tripe that houllier bought?}

Is Cisse not still on the books at Liverpool?

It's good to see the slagging and banter starting up in earnest again!!    A sure sign that the season is ready to kick of again!!

There's a great picture of Declan Lally and Brogan sipping Cocktails pool side in Dubai, in the IN today. Issues with the choice of sunglasses tho!!

Don't think there is much point talking about what happened last year. When it came to September both teams were busy watching the final from the stands!!
Hopefully this time with a better atmosphere in Croke Park than what there was in Omagh last year, helped by a large number of neutrals, it will be a better game of football. And with the bigger pitch it should allow a more open game. Cant wait as i'd say both managers will try and play a lot of the older heads to ensure a bit more composure on the ball. Neither manager will want to throw a novice into this game as it's been built up so much.

i'd assume that smartarse this thread is in referemce to you calling the Tyrone players "Pr1cks"

Hard to hide that Armagh Bias isn't it!!

^{Blah Blah Blah - What we hear when yet a other tyrone fan comes to tells how great they are}

Gnevin, i think you'll find this was in response to a Dublin poster earlier, so dont be getting all sanctimonious on us there!!

Billy one line and then another!! Would ya never get bored of the fishing?

At least try and make them a bit more orginal William

Ziggy, if Mulligan's fit he'll be in the starting team. He offer's a hugh ability that none of the new comers have proved they are capable of yet. Even if you look at 2005 when Mulligan was way short of form, Mickey stuck with him and he came good. I think alot of people underestimate how good Mulligan could be if he get's his head right. Ability wise he is up with the best of them. And i believe he could be a real star this year!!

Well said over the bar!!
Should be interesting game. Dublin will def be well up for it to show they are real contenders this year. And Tyrone will be keen to try and put all events of 2006 behind them!!
Will enjoy seeing a few of the younger ones getting a chance as a few of the older heads like Dooher, O Neill and McGuigan will be missing. That was the problem last year we didn't have any surprises on the bench that we could bring on in a tight spot.
Not too sure about Rouse playing at full forward. Tyrone's game plan was playing the running ball and giving the ball into the spaces for players to run into. I'm not sure if the gameplan will adapt enough to have a big target man as i would be kinda worried about how quick Rouse would be in the space of Croke Park!! But it would be great if it did succeed. ( Course we'd have to listen to then cute Kerry wans telling us we're just copying them!!) It would give us another option to our game plan.

Cant wait should be good!!

It is a beautiful city. Some of the views are spectular. But watch it will be sub zero at this time of the year so dress up warm!! I'd say make sure and try some of the old restaurants in Old town as they are far nicer and cheaper than near Wenceslaus square. Also check out the Bridge, Just cant remember the name of it at the minute!!
AS some one mentioned earlier use the Trams, they great for getting to see a wider area and very cheap. You'll have a ball it's a lovely city!!!

<sup>Liverpool are on the verge of agreeing a £156m takeover by the investment arm of Dubai's government.

The club's board of directors will discuss the final proposals by the Dubai International Capital Group at a meeting on Tuesday.

The deal, which will net chairman David Moores more than £75m, is close to bring completed, but is not expected to be finalised until next week.

Moores, who owns 51.6% of shares, made an initial investment of around £10m.


Interview: Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry

DIC has almost completed its due diligence, but Liverpool are keen to get the deal done in time to allow them to bring in some new players before the closure of the transfer window on 31 January.

It is unclear what level of investment in players will be made available to manager Rafael Benitez should the deal go through.

On Sunday, Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry said the deal was "not a quick fix, a rich man's play-thing. It's a long-term model for success, based around the new stadium".

"This will take us to the next level," he added.

So it might be done in time to get a couple of new players? Any ideas who might be drafted in?</sup>

We had our Club dinner dance on Saturday nite and was greeted to Gaelic Life pens and mini calanders on the tables. So they seem to be making a good effort on promoting it anyway!!
Fingers crossed it'll last. Now wouldn't be busiest time of the year in the GAA calander so it'll be interesting to see how it goes when the League starts up.

Seamus Woods confirmed as manager for Drumragh for 2007.

<sub>in our club they're known as the Reverses, because . . . . well... they never seem to be progressing much anyway


Edit: i say "they" but really its "We"</sub>

I though it was the Wackfucks?
