This guy is still playing in England
Plays for liverpool aurelio!
good call, that wasnt the one from the other day, but a great shot. It must be playing outside the Premiership so I messed up a bit, the one i knew is Joe O'Cearuill who is out on loan from The Arse
I was just about to say Facetious Aurelio :-[
Ok here's one

"Tug of war, tug o' war, or tug war, also known as rope pulling, is a sport.."Taken from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tug-of-war it is indeed, and it was once part of the Olympic games, so yes I am definitely calling it a sport and you are correct.

If i was heading from Lucan which way would i go? where is it near
either in the N4 as far as the river and take a right across the river and over the southside heading towards christchruch and then a right off clanbrasseil st onto cork st (prob easier with back roads here if u know the area at all)
Otherwise the N7, downt he longmile road, past crumlin's children's hospital and that leads onto cork st
I'd say the best way is to come in Lucan road and on to Chapelizod bypass take a right onto Suir Road follow it onto Dolphin Road and then take a left on to Cork street Meath street is somewhere on your left. Its not far from St James Hospital
grand lads thanks

Think Paddy Christie was the captain in 05, injured in '06 but may have accepted the cup, not sure why he was so happy. Engaged the first time, and birth the second time maybe?
Don't think anyone gonna get it,didn't phrase it too well either
The answer is Tomas Quinn reason? The name of the Leinster Cup is the Delaney Cup named after Bill Delaney who was a famous Laois Footballer fron Stradbally...Quinns mother is a Delaney fron Stradbally.....ye getting it now?
Bill Delaney the same man who The Leinster Cup is named after is Tomas Quinns grandfather/Grand Uncle(not sure which)
Here's a tricky one. Eleven players who've scored for 5 different premiership clubs?
Sheringham's bound to be one. What about Les Ferdinand?

Heskey or Dublin?
Wes Brown has knocked in a few own goals.
Which goalkeeper has conceded the most goals in the history of the Premiership?
david james?
Les Ferdinand, Andy Cole, Stan Collymore, Benito Carbone, Ashley Ward and Mark Hughes.

4 Benito Carbone
5 Ashley Ward

Quote from: Captain Scarlet on January 19, 2007, 04:57:23 PM

In 1952 All Ireland the Maguire Brothers, Des & Liam played with Cavan and Brendan played with Meath.The Cavan bros mainly played in the back line Des at Corner aand Liam at Centre while Brendan played in centre field.As the 52 final went to a replay they may may have marked each at some stage during the two games.
The brothers who marked each other were John Tavey, who was playing Full-Forward for Monaghan, and Paddy Tavey was playing full back for Cavan. They were from Donaghmoyne in Monaghan
cheers BF i heard about them, used to play soccer with the son.
they have the richmond pub there on church st.
i was told by a few other lads who are prone to shite the story, cheers for the confirmation.
Yeah, John owned the Richmond alright, his son owns it now - he moved to Monaghan a few years ago and drives up every day.
BTW John got sent off for hitting Paddy a box :D
Two quick questions actually
1 - Whats the name of the pavarotti song that was used for Italia '90
2 - Does anyone know of a website where i can get soundbytes off like for instance famous commentrys of sporting events like say when Geroge Hamilton says ' the nation holds it breath' as David O'Leary steps up to take the penalty against Romania or when Andy Gray from Sky Sports says 'youuuuuuuuuuuuu beauty' in realtion to a wonder strike form Stevie Gerrard
1. Nessum Dorma
2. Eh.....dangerhere.com
Cheers thanks for that,That Pavarotti one has been wreaking my head....Don't ask!
Actually LaoisLad Nessum Dorma means' No one sleeps'. Just in case you are stopped by the Gardai.
I watched Ireland v Italy in Italia Novante in Kielys in Donnybrook. I swear to this day it was the worst 2 hours of my life.
It got to a stage where wimmin, feckin wimmin, were using the gents to wee in.
I remember having a blazing row with some young D4 sort (now prob perma-tanna, bikini-waxed, mother of 3 and an SUV droiver) who decided to barge into the cubicle and me raging for a NO2
No - never again. Soccer/wimmin/pubs dont mix.
If ye want more rants on Irish soccer/Wimmin/Italia Novante/Euro 88 please don't hesitate.
Q.20: Who are the only team to win the European cup with 11 home grown players plus home grown subs, in fact they all lived within 12 miles of this clubs home ground?
Q.21: Who is the only man to have won a World Cup Winners medal (soccer) and to have played in an All-Ireland final in Croke park??
Just a guess on Q20 as it's early and im tired! LIVERPOOL?
Q21
Socrates?
celtic
Correct on both counts.
Did he really play for UCD?
Play 4 who? I dont understand u square ball
Socrates
What does E=MC2 mean?
In physics, E = mc2 is the equation that expresses an equivalence between energy (E) and mass (m), in direct proportion to the square of the speed of light in a vacuum (c2). Several definitions of mass in special relativity may be validly used with this equation.
and we all know this one :-\
that one about socrates, i heard that one before, but someone then told me he never played gaelic at all when over here.
When did Socrates win a World Cup medal let alone play GAA?
Oops
so he diddnt win a GGA medal or a world cup medal, the end of another long running question
alonso is the liverpool player.
i know he played for a team in meath when over on an exchange trip-he stayed on a while cause he liked it there- whether or not they won a championship. i could be wrong though
Has anyone any other information on this Alonso question? what team did he play for what year, and other evidence?
