After watching An Lá a Rugadh Mé ar TG4 and Ciarán Kilkenny was born the year Alan McLoughlin scored THAT goal in Windsor. Holy fcuk...

Superb documentary from RTE. How many have you been in lads and any stories from them. From all those on show I'd say I have been in 8 of them.

A few yarns to follow.

EDIT.


Sorry lads...just checked....its not available in my region....ie Norn Iron. Let me know if you can watch it.

When it comes to buying stuff (especially food) there are certain brands that I have to buy and I wont compromise on...

Kerrygold Butter
Barry's Tea
Clonakilty Black Pudding
O'Neills Sports wear/polo shirts, etc.

I know other people swear by Toyota cars, Puma King Boots, etc.

Anything else lads?

The way the likes of Tommy Tiernan and Brendan O'Carroll can come on to the biggest talk show in the nation and say "f**k. piss, shite, etc" and nobody bats an eyelid. In England it would be a national scandal.

Anyone going? Looks like there'll be a dogfight for the chair!

Just thinking about Benny Coulter's retirement. Some concentration of talent in one small area in South Down. The bridge had Benny, Mickey Linden and Tom O'Hare. All within a mile of each other.  Obviously the Sés at Ard a'Bhothair will stand out above and beyond anyone else with the lads and their 24 All Irelands all within 50 yards of each other. Any others? I know I'm missing obvious ones but get them up lads

On a roll here lads..we have all sorts of threads about songs etc. what's your favourite music vidjoe.

I love this....https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iJidOOmAl8c

Talk about Messi, Ronaldo, etc. Superb players all. BUT there are others that didn't make the heights of those two but were every bit as skilful.

I give you...

Any others

..we have threads on the best cover versions, songs that you never get sick of listening to, etc, etc. But I think live music beats the shit out of studio stuff.

For example...this is superb

...and there's plenty more to come

...if there is such a thing. Simon Coveney comes across as a decent skin...duine ar bith eile?

Right lads. McCorry has made a call for clubs to nominate players for the county panel for 2015. Yiz are all very quick to pass judgement on Wee James, Seán óg and Séamus Walsh behind your keyboards...so be constructive and let us know who are the new kids on the block who should be drafted in.

Was at it for the first time ever yesterday. Two words "Holy Fcuk". 125,000 people at it. Last time I was in a crowd like that was when the Pope came to Drogheda. In the space of 15 minutes managed to see Michéal Martin, George Hook, Sharon Shannon, Pat Spillane and Mary Kennedy.....and Pat the Boll*x was the only one getting any attention

Unbelievable event.

Just watching the documentary about Clarke, McDowell and Rory. Three phenomenal golfers but having listened to them for the last 20 minutes they did seem like pricks at the start. Seeing what they have done for charity I take it all back. Fair play lads. Me bad. Don't judge a book ...etc. big mistake by me.

23'000 people per sq mile in NYC!

11 Government Departments in NI to govern a population the size of Leeds.

Any others?

Lads, looking for a good b&b in Castlebar or Westport for the Sunday night before the bank holiday next week. Fcukin hotels are mad prices.

Love starting a wee bit of debate...so imho these are the best ever from each of the 32...I picked them from own opinion, in some cases from general opinion e.g. Jack Brattan and Seán Purcell and others were just pure guesses from a vague knowledge of your county's football history ....if anyone wants to suggest a player from London and NY feel free..


So away ye go lads...let me have it.....give good arguments if you disagree...and tell me why I'm talking shite if that is the case..I have a thick skin.

Are none of youse Armagh boys in the slightest bit concerned that your Co Secretary has left the job because the Co Board can't afford to pay him...and then when he volunteered to do the job for nothing they said thanks but no thanks???


V v v odd.

...the jersies thread got me thinking.

Loads of people in Ireland have no difficulty in swearing blind loyalty to English soccer teams...indeed many on here do it...christ I did it myself when Eric Cantona was playing

However it seems to be taboo among us Gaels to express admiration or indeed support for another county team. As you may know I would have a certain grá for Kerry which stems from watching them in the Golden Years and the type of football they play and have played. But you dare not say it out loud that you are a Kerry "supporter" to certain other Gaels.....the same Gaels who profess undying love for foreigners living in England who are paid thousands of pounds a week.The same people who you will never ever get a chance to meet and have a pint with.... Unlike our own GAA heroes.


Discuss.

Used to have one of the lads doing a music and movie poll coming up to Chrimbo on here. I really miss that stuff. Sorry I can't remember who it was. Too busy talking about flags nowadays
