Have actually had a wee fondness for him cause I've been following his senior refereeing career.

In fairness, I've seen worse.

Why does him looking like a primary school teacher offend you?

I'm with you Arthur, I've done a good few days working from home and you get 100% concentration there, rather than being interrupted by phones, people etc at work.  My work is trying to encourage people to do it where they can.

It's all about trusting people to get the work done - if there's no trust, then both will agree you're in the wrong job!

Yes exactly Tony, my post was more for Ziggy's benefit!

Box tickets are the last tickets I'd want for a Tyrone match.  Esp if you end up with a box full of non-Tyrone supporters, which may very well be the case in Bob Mullan's box!

Stick to the stands.

A group I'm involved with were considering Navan racecourse - there's a guy around Belfast (Sean Magee?) who organises such big events.  I can get you a number for him if you are really interested

Funny, I went and found my tin whistle and trad flute in my parents' roofspace the other weekend and brought them up to my own house.  
I remember getting the flute one Christmas and not being able to get a noise out of it, had to take it to an Orange Order "flautist" on Christmas night who proved to me that it worked.

I was proud to be in Croker yesterday, the sight of the hill was amazing and I almost wanted to join in with the "Come on you boys in blue" chants. 

Tyrone committed fully yesterday - they put in blocks all over the pitch, from forward to back lines.  Nothing went Dublin's way, the goal attempt that came off the crossbar exemplified this.

Enda McGinley remains my player of the championship so far - consistently amazing.

My work colleagues have told me after every match about how lucky we were this year - I now hope they can see that we, like Wexford, deserve to be there on merit.  Total faith, time for some of that, these lads will do whatever is possible to get us past Wexford.  And I'm looking forward to the tussle immensely!

Don't suppose there were three of you and they split the total (kinda) between you?

IIf they win in a tight encounter I'd imagine they'll be going off the field cheering into the tyrone players faces rather than congratulating each other and shaking hands like most other sporting counties!

Ah come on, if they win in a tight encounter, they're all sportsmen, and both teams will behave like it when the whistle's blown at the end of the game, no matter what happens during it.

A friend of mine's eyesight was so bad she wasn't suitable for laser surgery.  A couple of weeks ago she had an operating where they split her eyeball (nice, I know) and inserted a permanent lens into it.  It knocked her out for a week or so because it was under general anaesthetic, and she had to leave it a month before the other one.  She's going around now only wearing one contact, till she gets the other one done in another two weeks.

I know, I thought that. :)

Nah, picked them up from different places.  Still spent £50 on two tickets for Sat before I heard about them.
