I always like going to the occupied territories
My wife is from the Continent. The first time we drove over the border she said "it really looks like Ireland"

Lol, just spat my coffee around the desk reading that. Very funny sir.

Went for Trump, just for the craic

Are you an uneducated white man?

Jesus lads, Americans voted for Regan, Nixon and both Bush's ffs!! Get a grip one more clampet won't make any difference to your life!!!

Agreee 100%

I have 2 tickets for the replay on Sat but have 2 boys aged 6 and 4. Would there be any chance that the youngest would be allowed to sit on my knee?

[Will it be the usual story with Tyrone - Kill other to win the county title having done so much slogging that they won't be fit for the Ulster Club?]

16/10/2016
Monaghan (Scotstown/Clontibret) v Down (Kilcoo)

30/10/2016
Tyrone (Killyclogher/Coalisland/Clonoe) v Antrim (St Galls/Cargin/St. John's/Lamh Dherg)

Derry (Slaughtneil/Loup) v Fermanagh (Derrygonnelly or Erne Gaels)

Armagh (Maghery/Crossmaglen/St Pats/Clann Eireann) v Cavan (Castlerahan/Ramor)

Monaghan/Down (Scotstown/Clontibret/Kilcoo) v Donegal (Glenties/Kilcar/Malin/Glenswilly)

Apologies to the Antrim lads - Wasn't intentional thought I read somewhere that St Galls had already won it!

Yeah that's the reason why Tyrone teams don't perform in Ulster.

All the other Club Championships go easy on each other so that the winners have a better chance of winning Ulster.

Was Tyrone no 10 shot there?

No doubt, Tyrone players don't need 2 opportunities to go down but Mayo are complaining about every decision.

Mayo are doing some crying.

[Clubs are being crippled with Cruciates/Hip surgeries/Shoulder surgeries and the GAA scheme doesn't come near to covering costs when all is said and done and that's before you look at loss of earnings for some lads! The GAA should be setting aside an extra €6.2 million for Club injury bills rather than servicing the County Player who currently gets well enough looked after anyway!!!]

I personally think the €200k for surgical intervention is a bit of a kick in the teeth to clubs!!

Couldn't agree more Screenexile.

The GAA really need to look at themselves.

The GPA are parasite that have zero interest in the good of the game or of the 99% of people who play it.
I have been involved in football for as long as i can remember, have played, managed and coached at all ages and can honestly say the way the organisation is going makes me sick.

There is never a week goes by that people from clubs all over Ulster are not knocking my door trying to sell tickets to keep their clubs going and fair play to them. My own club are constantly trying to raise money to keep things ticking over and thank God the people in our area are very generous and always support us but its getting harder and harder every year.

My children all play GAA and I love the game but Croke Park and the GPA are loosing the people who make it so great.

The next time i hear some suit from Croke Park or the Derry County Board saying our clubs are the life blood of the game i am going to hit him a kick in the stones. Our f**king Senior Club Championship was played off like an U12 Blitz last year.

Charging Tony Blair & George W. with war crimes for their illegal war would be as good a place as any to start with in sorting this mess out.

We are the best fans ever, sickens my shite. F**k away off, pile a wankers videoing themselves been w**ks. Gobshites

Anyone ever been to Hong Kong? Thinking of going for 3-4 nights after a week or so in Thailand.

Is it crazy expensive or on a par with London/New York?

Hong Kong is a good spot, well worth a visit but do your drinking in Thailand. The pubs/bars are serious expensive. Everything else is much the same as here price wise. If you do go make sure you go to the Racing at The Happy Valley Race Course, its on 1 night every week, can't remember which night though. Great night craic and reasonably cheap beer.

I'll tell you what I thought more of Hughes...but to rip a man down by the hair is a seriously cowardly act

What an ass clown.

Theres very little difference in players then and now, and how manly they are etc. The difference is in the game. Back then you could bury someone and as long as it wasn't a straight punch to the jaw right in front of the ref, you weren't going to get sent off. Now you'd be sent off, banned etc for much smaller indiscretions. So other ways to intimidate/put off the game have come into play - its an unfortunate natural evolution.

Also, I can understand the 'its all just words' attitude, and I would have been largely of that opinion myself, (I've certainly never really got why anyone gets upset at 'i rid your ma' jokes'), but it seems I've been a bit too innocent in terms of some of the vitriol - if anyone said to me anything about my mothers death in an accident, my brothers suicide, or my sisters murder (that's the three separate worst incidents I've seen mentioned by the way, I'm not the unluckiest man in Ireland), I would honestly do all I could to batter them, and I can't imagine I'd be able to wait until the final whistle to do so.

Couldn't agree more.

Anyone who says things like that to someone on a football pitch or anywhere else for that matter is a complete sc**bag.

All teams have lads who walk a fine line with there behaviour. My own included, but i can honestly say if i had  heard a team mate coming out with the type of poison quoted above I think i would have hit him myself.

P.S - A man telling you he rid your girlfriend/wife/sister/ma should only piss you off if its true.

If its true he shouldn't be saying it.

Sorry for derailing the thread in the last post, it's a bit tedious when every thread becomes the same old discussion about religion.

I agree with a lot of the sentiments on this thread about how Irish tends to be abused in the north. Sinn Fein seem to be hell bent on weaponizing the language, which does it a disservice and ultimately alienates the unionists even more, which is the opposite of what we should be doing if we want to bring them under the umbrella of a united Ireland.

Spot on.

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere else, seen it in the paper that the new Mid Ulster super council is going to have their signage in Irish then English below. Funny how things turn full circle. Unionists tramped the nationalist people into the ground for years and now we have the majority we are going to do the same to them. Classy stuff. 

It's like Bloody Sunday all over again, only in reverse!

It's not.
