We know he's not interested,we don't know why he's not interested.


Because there is more to life than football, and he's taking advantage of the few years of his life he has the opportunity to travel and see the world, without gobshites like you (who haven't stepped foot on a football pitch for decades) criticising him for it.

Could you imagine the British army returning to South Armagh. Sitting ducks springs to mind.

A primary reason why border patrols won't be introduced in my opinion. It would be a pretty big boost for the dissidents too as everyone along the border steadily gets more and more wound up by being searched by British soldiers every time they want to cross the border.

England's results over the past few tournaments would justify that amusement and disbelief. Irish fans learnt their lessons after 2012 and know that getting out of the group is a good result. English fans haven't learnt from 2014, and 2012, and 2010... And so on.

I think you're spot on Seafoid, although the manager is important as well - but the right one (in terms of blooding new players and the style of play) will never be brought it unless it is the best financial option while the Glazers are still in control of the club.

Nice to see RTE News giving proper coverage to the GAA last night. Few shots from Tipp/Cork, one goal from the Tyrone/Derry match, and a pat on the back for anyone else playing that day in the All Ireland proper, never mind the likes of Christy Ring.

Do Nordies/Northerners go South to burgle? I don't think so.It is the audacity to come North to burgle that gets me,and not just coming into border areas,but as far up as Portadown and Lurgan.Surely it should not be beyond the Garda in conjunction with co operation of PSNI and modern technology to curb these activities? Then again if they can't stop a gangland war in inner City Dublin.

So it's grand to have the audacity to burgle houses as long as they're in your respective made up jurisdiction? And cop yourself on, there are northerners (or criminals based in the north) burgling homes in the 26 as well.

Again, that would likely be, ahem, a "certain aspirant ethnic group".


Where are Pavee Point when you need them?

Freestaters? Thought they were just 'Irish' as opposed to your so-called nationality of "Northern Irish".

Mourinho confirmed
Confirmed by who?
the twitterati. BBC journalists on Twitter reporting it's a done deal.

Top story on BBC website and Sky propagating it too. Unfortunate but hopefully Utd can make the most of it and win a couple of trophies.

Where'd you hear that?

It's been reported through a few news outlets that there's a good chance the pope is coming to Dublin in 2018 for the Families Conference and he might pop up to Armagh as well.

Your previous 8 posts have hardly been insightful
Taken wee digs looking other board members to commend you

I think it's clear we've found a WUM, no point arguing with him.

To win a game would be nice, first time since 2013 as well. To show some signs of building for the future, it might have been there in the last few league games or maybe it was just luck or coincidence.

For the championship in general, someone other than Dublin, and preferably someone completely new and outside of the usual five or six teams that are there or there abouts come AI semis.

Fair play ogra
I thought it was a valid point
Which in turn is  is your opinion.I couldn't really articulate my opinion without insulting him which I
don't want to do.

Smurfy puts forward an argument stating that Tyrone's various underage teams do not play with the same tactical style as their senior team. If you disagree with the point then you can put forward evidence or a theory which disproves this. If someone gets offended by that they have no place on an opinion forum. If you're unable to structure an argument without offending someone through personal digs/taunts/insults then likewise you would have no place on the board.

I mightn't comment much on this thread but I like to think that when I do it gives more of an insight into Down football then 'yawn zzz'. If you're not willing to write a decent response don't belittle people who do.
