QuoteIs this the same Vinny that had to run into someone as he came onto the field. Poor wee pet

Vinnie never ran into anybody - he just couldn't go round them!!!

And the cycle continues...

I CONDEMN WHOEVER SAID THAT PILLAR CONDONED A WOMAN BEING HIT ON THE HEAD BY A DUBLIN PLAYER!

Happy now hhhnb??

As for the anti dub feeling what everyone is saying is true. This crap about "All other teams do it too we're taking it to a new level". Give me a break! Tyrone are the only other team at it and it's only Ricey that does it on their team. DUblin have been involved in at least 2 games this year and I've heard many other stories of years gone by of Dub players rubbing it in tto opposing players when they have lost a match.

As for calling players scumbags and the like. To my mind Casey is the only sc**bag on the Dublin team, what makes it worse is the fact he's a very average footballer at best! I've played against him and heard numerous stories from reliable sources so I can back this up.

As said before, this siege mentality thing isn't endearing the Dubs to anyone. I don't agree with this "If Dublin had a better tactician they'd win" nonsense. It is widely known that Dublin are and average team playing to the best of their ability. Kerry weren't at their best yesterday while many claim Dublin were on top of their game, a true statement I think. Dublin need 3 top class defenders in order to win that elusive All Ireland... I can't see where they will get them from!

Yeah well I'm working in a mortgage brokers and the only contact we have is from our own customers... (haven't had a call all day). We can't talk to any of the lenders or our service providers so I'm passing the day with facebook poker. I'm going for the 4000 points barrier... yes I have no life!

Having read his books and seen numerous interviews I find it extremely hard to believe that he would take drugs... even more than that I would say that given todays climate of papparazzi and gutter journalism considering the amount of fame and celebrity Lance Armstrong enjoys I think the press would have been able to find and exploit even the tiniest indiscretion... had it existed!

Cynical crowd of hoors ye all are! Good to see the 'innocent until proven giulty' idea of a democracy is still in full flight here... sure maybe we should bring internment back to Northern Ireland... "sure all his neighbours are terrorists so he must be too!"... wise up!!!

Well done Gabriel... looks like it was a battle of a match (are Mike's Vincent's anything else?)! Were you playing yourself? Any chance of a report?

GAA Discussion / Re: Rule about handpassed point?
August 24, 2007, 10:31:00 AM
Quotei agree with the idea of the 3 consecutive handpasses. i do not like the basketball that goes on out field but i do believe the fisted point is a skill in itself.
the rule for the closed fist should just be got rid of anyway as no coach,player or ref adheres to it and its only time before one ref with an agenda decides to act on it and the whole issue of inconsistency will arise again

The most ignored rule in GAA the closed fist tackle... I remember an occasion in Toronto when I had the ballout for a solo and this big fat canadian hit the ball away and uppercutted me through my ribs rendering me breathless for 5 minutes. The ref asked the linesman... 'fair tackle?' and the linesman made a punching motion with a clenched fist saying 'yeah he got the ball'

I used to tackle with an open hand but it's very difficult to get any kind of force to knock the ball out of somebody's hands and you don't get pinged for a closed fist tackle if you get the ball so I reckoned if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

I am in disbelief that the Derry County Board don't realise that Derry have the genuine quality to mount a challenge for SAM...

I'm in disbelief that you're in disbelief!  :P

What are you on about? It is without question that Derry have genuine quality! Did you watch the Dublin match? How many outstanding performers were from the Dublin team? Yet they are being tipped as favourites for the AI and have been up there since the start of the year. A bit of experience and belief in our team and we won't be too far away next year!

As for Crozier. I'm still undecided if he is the man to lead us but I think the heroics of the latter part of our season mean he should be allowed to decide his own fate. As PH mentioned in yesterday's IN, we can't have another scenarion where our CB got rid of Coleman after an All Ireland win and when they got rid of Moran in '95 and 2004!

Yeah I see Business Studies up there too and as A level subjects go it's fairly easy compared to others but it attracts an extremely 'broad range' of students which probably contributes to its standing on the table.
