Can we all agree on the definition

In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion,[3] often for their own amusement.

I would have to say that a good percentage of posters must fit that definition when it comes to slagging Tyrone but otherwise are completely sensible. Is this award for subject specific trolling or all round trolling?

It is easy to wind up Tyrone people. I think they live for the drama. And saying the rosary together as a county brings them together in a way Meath can only imagine . It's driven by emotion and a mixture of neediness and arrogance.

Saying something like "Sean Cavanagh is a disgrace" will get the ball rolling. And keyboards never refused letters. One of the annual rituals of the board is the silence that starts the Monday after Tyrone depart from the championship.

I think certain posters hide behind the idea of being a troll when in actual fact they have a pathological need to comment on every thread regardless of their knowledge or understanding of the topic at hand.  Most likely a lack of attention at home/real life  or possibly mummy or daddy issues.

On the button.  This forum is fairly polluted these days,  Derry forum,  Liverpool,  Celtic,  any and all political /religious threads. And not a man is fooled with the debate/opinion poop they peddle... attention is the goal,  the only goal

Castleknock beat St Judes in other semi final tonight. 0-11 to 1-4. Poor game with both sides playing blanket defences. No coincidence that the county players all looked shattered playing over ast few nights. 10 months on the go now. Final is sat week

Hardly surprising they're bucked,  they've had to cook their own meals these last few weeks!

Anyone want to supply me a copy of said PDF? I don't think I'd buy the book but I'd certainly give it a wee skim through

I'll take a copy too if it's not too much bother

Are you 2 boys Sun readers by any chance? I'm expecting this sordid tale to be picked up and serialised by the sun or one of those rubbish papers very soon.

My Da was looking to read it now. I'll wait until I pick it out of my christmas stocking, read extracts between courses up at the mother in law's

IF the Ulster Final is moved to Casement down the line,  would it not mean the GAA being hit with a fair old tax bill from gate receipts?

In the words of Stallion, Liverpool need to learn to close out a game.

Do you mean they need to learn to hammer teams week in week out? At 2-1 with 10 left,  Liverpool introduced a defensive midfielder and closed out the game securing 3 points.  But for a couple of pieces of brilliantly brave defending it would have been 4-1 (the 1 being a bit of a fluke)

People can put what they want on my old jeep. It's a mess anyway.
I don't get this, but then again I'm not a car person. I'd be more excited about getting a new camera than a new car. Never owned a brand new car. Could never afford one but even if I could I wouldn't.

What if someone lifted your new camera and had a fiddle with the buttons without your permission? Fwiw,  the woman in question is a chancer,  no more no less.  Most women are fairly crazed when out shopping.  I know my wife comes home from Sainsburys with some head on her at times.

Liverpool are a great team to watch under Klopp.  Energy levels and movement unreal at times.  He's a breath of fresh air to listen to when interviewed.

GAA Discussion / Re: 2016 Season. How did you see it?
October 19, 2016, 02:03:38 PM
I viewed the 2016 as I've viewed the last few seasons footballing wise. Some good matches and a lot of very defensive matches that were not so easy on the eye and the odd surprise result. Having viewed the final and replay, and the incredible fitness levels required, and more importantly, the money and lifestyle needed to get to these levels, I can't see much changing in the near future. We've had a clatter of men depart the Derry panel, and sadly, I can see this happening all over the country to all but a few counties.  On one hand you've the huge honour of representing your county, on the other you're putting your life and hold and committing everything you have to get to the required levels.

So for me 2016 = unparalleled fitness levels which will unfortunately lead to increased levels of men stepping away leaving teams fielding the most committed as opposed to the best. I realise this isn't new to 2016, but the season just past really drove it home imo

Roll on the The O'Fiaich Cup !

I was at a conference years ago and Rubin Carter....the Hurricane....was the motivational speaker.

One of the lads I worked with was from New Jersey and his wife's Uncle has worked on the case

He claimed that they had all types of evidence that never made it to trial and that the Hurricane was actually as guilty as sin and possibly even implicated in other murders-lol

I heard the opposite, though didn't lol
