Final score,
Monaghan 2.15  Down 1.15

Monaghan meet Derry in the UC SF

 
Monaghan stretch lead to 4 points, going into extra time

from RTE

Monaghan got the result of the day in football by beating Down 2-15 to 1-15 at Páirc Esler in Newry.

The game was an ill-tempered affair and it took two goals from Castleblaney Faughs star Ciaran Hanratty and a barnstorming finish from Paul Finlay to see the Farney through.

It was the first time since 1988 that Monaghan recorded a Championship win over their Mourne neighbours.

Goal for Monaghan, 2 point lead, 5 mins left,

You don't half talk some shite. FIFA/UEFA will not allow two separate countries to form one team, not now not ever. It would be the end of international football as we know it. What possible justification would there be for asking them to change their rules, especially as neither the FAI or IFA want it, the fans of the two teams don't want it (with the exception of a few nutters, most of whom have never been to a match) and I'd doubt if the players would want it as it would reduce their chances of getting a game.

Sammy,  FIFA do not have any power. The football federation map in Europe has changed radically since the break up of the SU.
One exception to the fragmention was with 2 seperate countries, West and East Germany,
now one country, one football federation. Never say never, there is a context.
FIFA's role is to set the regulations and rubber stamp the claims of a federation for recognition.

NI doesn't quite cut the mustard to be called a country. It's maybee a bit more than an Isle of Man with a football federation.
I am quite happy with the Irish Constitution granting citizenship to all born on the Island and any young lad can declare for Ireland as many have done. The 2 federations can coexist and compete as in the Setanta.

Strangely enough with the Stormont Parliament dead as a dodo, the British walking backwards out of there, Shinners sharing power, are the loyalists any more fearful and paranoid now than during the 50 years of the Stormont Parliament ?

I doubt that Shane would be up to much these days.
Anybody know if Ron Kavana is doing any performances?

Should this thread be renamed to
iPod, iTunes & iSomnia help

Yes, it's on the breaking news about the TV coverage.

No-one helping me with my problem?

When you put new songs on Itunes you have to sync them with your Ipod,make sure on the options screen you have sync all music ticked maybe thats why that album isn't on your ipod it probably is on itunes but just not ticked to be synced to your ipod

You don't have to have your iPod synced in iTunes in order to put music on it.
I wouldn't want to complicate the instructions for Ziggy.
I find it easier to manage the content on the iPod if syncing is turned off and just transferring new stuff or desired stuff to the iPod manually in iTunes.
If Syncing is turned on, iTunes will automatically dump all the stuff from your library on it and update everytime you connect your iPod.
Ziggy, test to see if the same song on your iPod is skipping in iTunes as well as your iPod. That means play the song in iTunes without your iPod being connected to the computer.

One option is delete the skipping track from your iPod and transfer it again to iPod from iTunes after you have determined that the iTunes track is good.

I woudn't miss this game for anything.
Dublin Meath games should have form of an amnesty  just because a camera picks up a cowardly punch it should not mean a suspension.
In a game like that you need two refs.
In the end it was a draw and that was fair natural justice.  
The worst tackle that I saw on screen was the 2nd half 'tackle' on a Dub player in mid air while fielding the ball was clearly flung with force to the ground and got hurt. Nobody seemed to take a blind bit of notice even though everybody seemed to see it.
I'd grudgingly say Dublin played some great football while Meath out fought them. Dublin had the better discipline when I thought they should have been responding in kind to the Meath tactics.

Do the neutrals enjoy this spectacle more than the Meath and Dub fans?

Do you think he would have enough cop to record his marathon session with Dell support and then upload it to You Tube?

By the way, I have a hilarious mp3 about a guy who phones up DELL support because he cant switch his mums laptop off. If you want a copy then pm me your email address. Alternatively, if you can host it then pm me too.

This is it I think.

I wonder who put it up on You Tube? I doubt that it was the inbred with sh#t for brains calling support.

Like Donagh I hope it doesn't turn out to be some arty farty shite,  an esotheric tome on the decay of the body, isolation of the spirit and a soul in crisis.
I can't think of too many prison political dramas that were rock solid sincere as well as good drama.
There was a South African one, a made for TV  movie  which was excellent, a gripping minimalist affair with Louis Gosset jr and Eric Stoltz?
Louis was investigating the conduct of a top prison officer and his role in the death of a prisoner, Louis turns the tables and twist the methaphorical rope on the guard's neck tighter and tighter, can't remember the name. Made at least 10 years ago.

Who is writing the screeenplay? Where is Costa Gavras? he'd be made for the job.
   

Jose puts his own liberty on the line to allow his dog freedom.
This is England.
Jose gets knighted.

OK, thanks. So all those memorials, biographies, commemorations etc etc are wrong and Donagh's right. 

FWIW he was OC of all the prisoners in Long Kesh. AFAIA he was not OC of the Belfast Brigade.

I thought it was a wind up with the director being named Steve McQueen.
If it's the last 6 weeks of the hunger strike then it will start with the lead up to him being elected MP.
The world's most famous IRA man.  

His Holiness, it's no big secret what Sands was involved in.
He was an active member of the IRA.
Actual proof was a handgun found in a car with 5 occupants, 14 years sentence.
