If there are any underfloor heating gurus out there help would be greatly appreciated.
Have underfloor heating in the house some of which is tiled over.Now there are suggestions that the tiles are no longer that nice!!!! The choices are lifting and and re-tiling....quite arduous or just tiling over the existing tiles. Question is would this have much of an impact on the underfloor heatings ability to heat the rooms. I know only adding a few mm but not sure the new tiles would be any nicer if the room was freezing???

Hope there's not a thread on this already.
Wondering does anybody know the pitch dimensions for these games. Couldn't see it on the crokes website last night.

A very long way from being an expert on this so some help would be great.
Have wireless broadband in the house supplied by last mile and it works a treat.
Issue i my wife can only access her work email from her own laptop which is not connected to the broadband.
Her laptop is wireless enabled and the guy who installed the broadband reckoned all I would need to do was get a unit in Argos, plug it into the broadband unit connected to my computer and Bob would be my uncle!
Anyone with a bit morre specifics would be great particularly what this unit is specifically called?
Cheers

Anyone know a good site for this.
Particualrly want to get a breakdown of the number of clubs per county and per province

Downloaded a couple of movies in this format recently but don't know how to get them onto a DVD to play on a bog standard DVD player.
Any know how to do this?

Anyone see the first episode of this on Sunday. Really enjoyed it. Had loads to do but couldn't leave the bloody thing.
One question in particular. Was the head FBI guy...the black guy, the same fella that appeared a few times in Lost? I knows its from the makers of lost and they even use some of the same music but wasn't sure if it was the same gent.

Anyone have any miracle cures for removing these?

We were the opposition in this final (beaten by a point again) and we weren't even sure why he got off.
Apparently he was suspended for, at the end of a game offering a handshake to the ref and then pulling his hand away and saying he wouldn't shake hands with a f$^king Pr$%k like that.
Funny thing was the ref for the final was the same chap the incident occurred with and in fairness to him he showed far more restraint then we had hoped for!
But in all seriousness it is getting to the stage where it is going to be impossible to suspend anyone. Do refs now have to write there reports in Irish...that should challenge a few of them!!




'Gaeilge' loophole exposes rules crisis


By Cliona Foley
Thursday November 08 2007


A leading GAA official admitted last night that the association has a "rules crisis" after a controversial decision by the Disputes' Resolution Authority (DRA) made a mockery of the association's recent efforts to re-write its rulebook and get rid of the loopholes that have for so long made its disciplinary system a laughing stock.


Leinster chairman Liam O'Neill (above) was reacting to how a Longford club player (John O'Dowd of Clonguish) had an eight-week suspension lifted by the DRA last Saturday by arguing that a referee (inter-county official Eugene Murtagh), who reported him for verbal abuse, should have written his (O'Dowd's) name in Irish.

Official team lists must be written 'as gaeilge' but referees have habitually written their match reports in English without any previous repercussions and this judgement has not only infuriated officials but left the GAA's top brass worried about its further ramifications.

"There are so many anomalies and loopholes and indeed contradictions in our current rules that any player can avoid punishment if he is willing to go far enough," O'Neill told the Leinster Council last night, calling for a thorough overhaul of the rules to be launched in a year's time.

The DRA, the independent body which the GAA set up as final arbitrator to avoid cases going to the High Court, base their judgements strictly on 'legal argument' and found for the player on this single issue, freeing him to play in Sunday's county league final.

Seems like a bit of effort must be going to be put into this this year.
Glad to see it.

Inter-provincials return to Croke Park
11 April 2007


Croke Park will host the Inter-provincial hurling and football finals for the first time since 1991 later this year.

A double-header of finals will take place under lights on Saturday, October 20, with the semi-finals being held the previous weekend at provincial venues. It will only be the fourth occasion since 1980 that Croke Park has hosted the football final, while the hurling decider hasn't been played there since 1995.

In recent years, the football and hurling finals were played alternately on foreign shores (Rome, Paris and Boston), and both the GAA and competition sponsor M Donnelly will be hopeful of a strong turn-out this autumn, especially as there is no International Rules series taking place.

At the height of their popularity, the Railway Cup finals attracted attendances in excess of 60,000 every St. Patrick's Day.

The All-Ireland Colleges finals will also be played at GAA headquarters this year for the first time since 2001. A double-header will take place on Sunday, April 22 with Waterford's De La Salle taking on Kilkenny CBS in the hurling final and Omagh CBS and Tralee CBS going head-to-head in the football decider.

Just thought we might as well get one started.
Anyone see the panel for the county trial game on Saturday.
a few interesting names.........P Davis, D. Hanniffy & N. Sheridan to name but a few.
Overall not sure if there is a whole lot to add to what we had last year. A lot of the bench in at this too.
Maybe Sean McCormack an add something. If Hanniffy gives the commitment it could be good.
We have a coupl eof new faces in and as previously discussed the old 2 Declan Reilly's conundrum has come a step closer.
Co. board seem to have gotten obver this by using (not cornadrung) as part of the new Declan's title!!
