97p on the Armagh to Portadown road, been under a quid there for about 5 weeks.

The Aussies are at it. Essendon FC: 34 Australian rules players banned for doping.

If you have a sprained ankle or a cracked rib or temporary projectile vomiting but you don't have a disabled badge, are you justified in using one of these spaces?

The description as disabled spaces isnt entirely correct either. The spaces are generally allocated as part of the Blue Badge Scheme and primarily for people with severe walking impairments. They are not for pregnant women, people with heavy shopping or multiple children. None of these are a genuine disability. It is a criminal offence to use the blue badge illegally but not to park in their spaces without the badge as far as I know. I don't think anyone would take exception to someone parking in these spaces with has a temporary disability like a broken leg etc.

The main issue in NI is that half the place are claiming DLA (I would suspect a huge percentage are swinging the lead) so they will all think they have an entitlement to these spaces.

I found it noticeable that the Sainsbury's in the Kennedy Centre in West Belfast has a huge number of disabled and mother and baby spaces.

The new newry swimming pool has seriously over edged the number of disabled spaces, there must be 30 or more.

Feck this has taken a bizarre twist.
Surely Jamie himself proves the point that Cross wouldn't match up to county level since he is a genuis at club level but then cant cut it at inter-county, Mossey Quinn the case in point for Vincents

Cross play football, Armagh defend even when behind.

Taking a bit of a hammering from the online trolls some complete attention seeking arseholes out there.

I assume a long and detailed explanation on why he retired will be published over the coming days to satisfy the T Fearon and other "fans".

[Of them all he was my no 1]

I knew he had been ill but I didn't realise he was so bad. Of them all he was my no 1. Hunky Dory is played all the time on my iPod. A little bit of magic has left the world.

+1 Legend.

Do you find him funny?  I would say some do some don't, bit of a pointless thread.

Nobody has to do anything technically.But it is a breach of trust,morally

Raping children is a breach of trust, morally, Tony

Not wanting to play with the county is not. Get a grip, FFS.

Defending the rape and blaming the children is far worse than not wanting to play an amateur sport.

And it is an amateur sport so if an individual doesn't want to partake what business is it of anyone's but theirs.

[well then, Jamie is exclusively involved with club, which should meet your req]

In terms of burn out,in my opinion it's long past time that Gaelic Sport was categorised into separate County and Club entities,with players involved exclusively at one level but not both.

well then, Jamie is exclusively involved with club, which should meet your requirements.

Thread closed, debate over.   

[What I would say though is club will (and should) always come first.]

I suspect BC's view is shared in Crossmaglen and this is the real reason.No hope for success for the County so why bother.

It's my opinion, I'm sure it's other people's opinions. I don't know if it's Jamie's opinion. The one thing I will say is that over the history of Armagh GAA Cross have provided to the county in terms of players etc more than most clubs so there has never been an issue in that respect. What I would say though is club will (and should) always come first.

In terms of Jamie I just want to reiterate something. He has missed more championship matches for Cross in the last few years than he has Armagh games so make of that what you will.

Nail on head, without club there would be no county.

[There are a lot of guys trying their utmost to move the county forward]

Why is he prioritising club football over elite level county football?

Elite county football?  You're some laugh. Elite club football prioritised over half baked county set up more like it!!!

A lot of guys hammering the county set up here
There are a lot of guys trying their utmost to move the county forward
It costs s heck of a lot of money to get the structures in place
Perhaps a fair few of you instead of hammering the county will assist and maybe get some sponsorship in
We are light years financially behind Tyrone and Donegal in Ulster .
My view on Jamie is fair play to him
He is an amateur and life is short so enjoy it to the full

A lot of guys getting a fair few pound from it too.

Airplane - it just never gets old.

Watched it the other week, not only has it got old, I now wonder did I ever laugh at it.
