Have to laugh at the comments that the ref helped Dublin
3 big calls - the penalty, the boot in the keepers mush and the free at the end. All went Kerry's way. All incorrect.

Catch yourself on will ye

I can't believe Derry just rolled over during HT and agreed that the score be allowed.
Gallagher could well have argued that the time it took to check Hawkeye denied Derry the chance for a quick kick out. Galway won the subsequent kick out and Comer scored.
Also, the Glass effort was never shown again after being given wide, despite looking like a point to most people. If the game had been closer at the end the GAA would be in an awkward spot.

Maybe It wasn't "rolling over".

Maybe it was a case of looking at a replay and agreeing, "yep that's a point, any blind **** can see that, and for it not to stand would be completely wrong".

Integrity is NEVER a bad trait Ranch.

I disagree, it shouldn't have been reversed, there shouldn't have been an ability for it to be reversed by anyone. The referee's decision is final and all that.
It was particularly obvious in the incident yesterday, but it's the same in any game. What happens after a decision is reflective of what's gone before. There's the mental impact, Galway had just seen a good score denied, that gives them an injustice to avenge, the referee was also flummoxed, he played extra extra time which gave Galway the time to work a score. Also, the delay meant Derry had fewer kick out options.
So it's not about integrity on this one, it's about how this option cannot be available in field sports
And say what you will, it was an incredible momentum swing in the stadium.

the referee's decision was a point and that was reversed

Rogers left there to be roasted . My favourite player by far still

A great player

Point given

Hawk eye is broke

Crap game

He did as far as I know

I'd like to be able to just turn my feelings off but I am not built that way

I've never done relationship advice but I need a 5 min break from report writing...so without wanting to pry can you tell us much else about the relationship that would help us figure out your next steps? 

For instance was there much of an age difference, was she fond of the finer things in life? Did you share common interests? Had she any old flames that might have only sparked up again once you were seen out and about together? Was travel an issue? Where are you both on the scale of attractiveness out of ten etc?

For a 3 month old relationship my guess is you might want to reflect on your interactions 3 weeks before the split as it probably took her a fortnight to decide to make the break.

Anything at all to put flesh on the bones of this and then we all might have a clear opinion. Working out in your head why it happened will be your first step on the road to recovery imo.

Ao, she said there was nobody else so I dont think that was a thing. She said she fancied me a lot and I fancied ehr. She thought I was a great person, easy to get on with and funny and I thought the same of her. She said we fell into comfort far too quick and dint do much other than sit in and watch tele. She is right on that one. She lives in the same town as me but is from the other side. Religion didnt matter though. Her ex was catholic and so are her 3 kids. That was another thing, she said she was selfosh, with ehr kids and job she just wanted time to her

In my own experience I'd say not to dwell on the reasons why she broke it off as you'll tie yourself up in knots. You weren't the right person for her (which in turn means she wasn't the one for you either) and sometimes it's as simple as that and it helps if you view it that way.

Easier said than done I know but the sooner you realise that these things can end for a multitude of reasons and there's nothing wrong with you, the easier it should be to get over it.

Had a similar situation myself years back and went into a bad place for a good period of months wondering what the hell was wrong with me, but I look back on it now and wish I'd known the above. I met my future wife a while after and wouldn't change it for the world.

Get back on the horse and hopefully the right one will be around the corner!!

Thats where I am at at the moment, feeling like there is something wrong with me, like I am just not meant to be loved. Deep down I now itll pass with time it is just hurting a lot now. And I miss her

This is a perfect time to throw yourself into a new activity. How's your health and fitness? Are there any new goals you could set on that front? Dig the garden, make things, physical hardship is great for the head. Are you involved with any coaching? Juvenile teams are always looking extra help. You might bring a completely new perspective and sharing that can be hugely rewarding. Your self esteem has taken a hammering but you are your own man and the power is within you to push over this hump on to new horizons. I'd stop going to to your regular haunts to save tripping over each other and raking up the past. The future is where it's at!

Health and fitness is grand. I go to crossfit maybe 5 times a week. Ive a garden that needs work but that has never interested me other than cutting the grass

I will be 42 next month. I just feel like Im on the scrap heap already

Cheers for the responses guys, and the DMs Rudi, they are much appreciated.

Or rather end of relationship advice.
Mine ended a month ago. It was a short enough relationship but we spent a lot of time together in the 3 months. I was ok until the last few days when it all seems to have hit me and I just feel absolute crap now. Time of year isnt fantastic either to be honest; it was my dad's anniversary yesterday. I dont know how to get over this guys and it's eating me up inside, and I feel in a fairly dark place right now. I feel like I need to message her but I done that a couple of week ago and got nothing in return and all that waits for me if I do that is more hurt. I cant drown my sorrows as I have been sober 7 years and I know that isnt the answer. Any advice would be much appreciated

Diesel is killing me. Price of groceries creeping up too.

Diesel is shocking. Can hardly see the needle moving when you put £50 in. Madness.

How do people do it if they're doing big miles every week?

Doing 500 mile a week myself for work. Don't chat.

I feel your pain RH88. Currently doing about 450miles a week for work, then add in the extra miles in the evening & weekends. It's costing a fortune.

Big time. I'm a bit behind you boys depending on my schedule. I'm in the next 6 days in a row. 70 mile round trip. That's before any of the other driving that needs doing. My diesel bill has sky rocketed
