Drink it very sparingly myself. Generally only when I'm on a pretty big rip I would drink it in a pint glass with a vodka or two mixed in. Or a couple of big bottles of the stuff if I'm on a bis going somewhere for the night. I would never hold a solitary bottle of it in a nightclub and drink out of it though... I'm no batty boy!

Murray grossly outclassed by a stronger, fitter and technically superior player all round really.

He thought it was his strength that was holding him back yet the amount of unforced errors he hit was absolutely criminal! He has a long way to go to even come close to a Federer or a Nadal.

Poor Nadal after the match "Good win but what about Andy? Was he tired? Do you think he's good? What does he need to do do you think Rafa?" Why the fcuk should Nadal care about Murray and what Murray has to do... pure joke!

Jess that's class! How come I've never heard of that before. "Oh Joanne I can see you in a big white Derry jersey, only a Derry Jersey!!"

That's be sweet 

[Thre is no real condition called 'man flu' I just have normal flu]

1.    man flu
   
The condition shared by all males wherein a common illness (usually a mild cold) is presented by the patient as life-threatening.

This is also known as 'Fishing for Sympathy' or 'Chronic Exaggeration'.

When the patient is your boyfriend, he will exhibit the standard symptoms (such as an overwhelming desire for compassion) while simultaneously rejecting any and all efforts you make to placate him.
You: Awww, you poor fella.
Him: I'm DYING!
You: (Soothingly) Oh, you're not dying Cy.
Him: (Indignant) I AM! I have Man Flu!
You: Do you need some sympathy?
Him: Yes! But no one understands my pain...
You: I understa-
Him: NO YOU DO NOT!!!

Thre is no real condition called 'man flu' I just have normal flu. Can't eat, aches and pains, fever, hot and cold flushes, chesty cough, runny nose, sore head.

As for going to the match las night Max.. Ask not what your club can do for you!!!

No you don't, if you had the flu you wouldn't be out of bed for a week!  What you have is a heavy cold (or man flu)! It really riles me when someone says they have the flu when obviously they don't!

Oh that's good we have another Doctor in the Screen... I'm glad to see that I thought we were running out to be honest! Flu affects people in different ways. I've had it before when I couldn't move or eat anything for 4 days and while this is a milder case of that it's still a f**king nightmare and I get about 2 hours I can handle out of my bed in the evening before I have to dive back to it!

I have it today Does it take long to shake? I've an important meeting with a business client tomorrow that I can't afford to miss.

Got it on Sunday and I'm still off work today, symptoms as bad as ever... not good

Anybody care to confirm rumours of sacked managers??

O'Loane - Derrylaughan
Collins - Killyclogher
McNabb - Coalisland??

Paddy Bradley, Mattie Forde, Kieran Donaghy, Marc O'Sé, Martin McGrath, Alan Brogan, Gooch Cooper, Graham Canty would all be better than Clarke who has not consistently delivered on his promise of 2002.

Come back in September and we'll talk about it again!

Screenexile, there are EIGHT better players in Ireland than Ronan Clarke at the minute!! 
You were at it on the Armagh Down thread as well. Has he done something on you???
Anybody talking about him not regaining the form of 2002 must've slept through the championship in 2006 where he won an Ulster for Armagh on his own and kept us in the Kerry QF by swinging over some mighty points not to mention the assist for McDonnell's goal.
Admittedly he has had some poor years (e.g.2003 where he was plagued by injury), but a fully fit Clarke is further up the pecking order than EIGHTH!!

Have nothing against the fella at all he's a fine footballer but we're talking about the best in the country at the minute. Given league and championship form over say the past 2 years those 8 players I mentioned have been better than him. Simple as. He has played well this season no doubt but admittedly this was against 2 very poor teams (don't tell me DOwn are any use because they are not). As the season goes on I may well change my view and put him as the best but not on this season's showing in all competitions.

Me too - although more hayfever-like symptoms.

So you have hayfever then?! How dare you trivialise my illness!

Have a bad dose of the man flu at the minute. Had it about 3 days now it's a pure nightmare!

Anybody have any remedies or things which help them get over it a bit quicker? I can't stand another day in bed!

ButtMurray!

They have it in Rugby too when the Out Half goes into a similar 'pocket' so that he can have sufficient protection to shoot for a drop goal.

[Ronan Clarke was awesome and as somebody else said he is the best full forward in Ireland (and that includes Kieran Donaghy).]

Agree with a lot that has been said by the Armagh posters here, concerns over the midfield sector throughout the league resurfaced yesterday. Gordon always seemed to be in position for the catch before McGrane and therefore left McGrane jumping behind him. MOR getting sent off left us with our main breaking ball winner on the line and it could've cost us the match. I have sung his praises quite a bit on the board but yesterday he showed all his negative points. Like Goats I noticed that Brian Mallon was ready to come on presumably for MOR as it was obvious that the red mist had descended and it was only a matter of time before he was sent off. Benny O'Kane was constantly running over to him to try to settle him.
Thought that Aidan started off poorly but as the game went on he became very influential. Charlie Vernon started off like a house on fire but several big hits took it out of him and eventually he blew a gasket. Yes, he does make a few mistakes but Jaysus lads it was his second championship match, he's still settling in, give him time, bit like Stephen Kernan who's just now starting to show what a good player he is.
Ronan Clarke was awesome and as somebody else said he is the best full forward in Ireland (and that includes Kieran Donaghy).
Ciaran McKeever had a great game and showed that he can play as well as a defensive stopper as he can as an attacking wing back, he really has it all. See the Irish News and a few posters on here calling him cynical but him and Coulter were at it all the way through the match.
I am concerned about the Fermanagh match as they will run at us in the same way as Down did and we need to be more disciplined in our tackling, haven't got a chance to watch the rerun but it felt at the time that McQuillan gave a lot of soft frees. We may face the same scenario in the final.

Of course he is! I mean playing well against Cavan and Down is the same as being undoubtedly the best FF in 2 Championship seasons whilst winning the AI in both!

Any more nonsense spouted from the we bitter man yesterday. I heard him talkin crap about "Armagh need to push their forwards up the pitch" and then had to turn it over again. Does he not realise that is their tactic they have been using for the last 20 years that has brought them so much success? Yeah they should change the whole thing and lose a few matches, that'll definitely work!
