This will be the biggest shock since Wexford got to a semi final about 7/8 years ago.
And whom did wexford run into in the semi final? only Tyrone who hammered them out the gate.

With regards to that Fearon imbecile, everyone should copy and post the crap he spouts in here onto his Twitter to see how much support he gets! After all he does say in his account to give him credit for his posts on Twitter.

Anybody who thinks the stallion (the gelding suits better) is a liverpool fan is deluded.

Changed times.Passed my driving test 40 years ago this month.Took my dad about three months to have the confidence to lend me the car to drive about a mile to the local park to watch summer league soccer.As a result I drove micro carefully so as not to lessen his confidence to let me drive his car.

I have never had an accident in 40 years.

You were just the result of accident

Ronan o neill and conor myeler could be out for a while after picking up injuries in the second half along with ronan mcnamee in the first half. O Neills especially looked bad. The pitch in navan was like a beach with the amount of sand and looked really hard.

Is Des Cahill the worst TV presenter ever? I think he makes it up as he goes along; or maybe there's someone in his ear telling him every word to repeat.

just bought some a few bottles in the vineyard on the ormeau road today. They have a real good deal on an Australian wine 'Heartland - Stickleback Shiraz 2013' @£8.99. Its a really good wine for that price. I also bought myself an earlier Christmas present with a £40 Shiraz (Amon-Ra 2010), also Australian.
For those who like Spanish wines they have a real nice Rioja Reserva called Senorio D Barriobero.

Does anyone know anywhere that you can get Tarmac tested to see if the correct mix was used. I know Queens can test concrete but can they test Tarmac
Mattest in Dunmurry are probably the best for testing for tar macadam. Ive used them quite a few times with the company i work for.

With regards to some of the statements on SMA given here, I've used and worked with it since it first came on the market and i have a few points to share,
1. SMA was never designed for driveways, it was designed for motorways and dual carriageways as it is quieter when trafficked, and most importantly it moves water of the surface very quickly preventing aquaplaning. It is a misnomer that it allows water through it when in actual fact the top surface is very open due to 14mm stone used in manufacturing it allowing rain water to sink into the surface and vehicles then to push it towards the verges.

2.SMA should only be machine laid due to the high bitumen content and difficulty in working it or elasticity. A lot of companies will hand lay it for you but and i stress this point, it takes a very good "raker" to get it right.

3.Regarding depths, the NIRAUC specifications state that 60mm/40mm (base/wearing course)split for category 4 roads which most back roads and side in ireland fall under but for SMA its generally 70/30. For driveways most contractors will quote for 100mm of type 1 sub base(Stone) and then a total of 70mm for bituminous products(40/30).

4. Finally why choose to SMA on a driveway when it is easily the most expensive, asphalt or Bitmac would suffice and look and perform just as well. Tarmac quarries tend to only do runs of SMA when the road service contractor are doing a large motorway resurfacing job as small batches don't pay so chances are that if the area isn't at all that big the SMA you received may have been laying in the hopper for awhile and starting to go off.
