One moment he looks like the complete professional next minute he comes across a bit silly. I mean why is he playing football a couple of weeks before a major what next off skiing the day before the masters. Was anyone surprised that he completely collapsed at the Irish open seeing as he was running around the whole week like a headless chicken doing a million one different things other than focussing on his golf

The man loves his football and Man United in particular, he is entitled to play football whenever he wants because he has a life outside of golf, people that are ripping on him for this need to get some perspective! He has all the money he needs and he could have done this tripping off a curb or falling down the stairs, these lads crave normalcy sometimes and I hope he plays in the British Open and wins the thing!

It was an accident,  it happens. Should soccer players not train in case they get injured?

[paid for flights etc..]

I have of a lot respect for the Rossies on here but I got to say, to say we are poor mouthing on the 6 days turnaround is horseshit, as is the any justification of the fixture because of Ros seniors, why didn't they bring the game today forward to yday to suit Leitrim fans, why didn't they do it in the past, why now to suit the Rossies? The game should be on Saturday that's if every team in Connacht was treated the same. Doesnt really matter that the decision was made 3/4 days ago.

So the CC should continue to make bad decisions that make die-hard supporters choose between their seniors and minors? More likely they've got the message from previous f**k-ups than Roscommon getting any special treatment.

Friday evening is going to put out alot of people that work out of joint, and my point is they didn't accommodate leitrim fans today but there just starting to accommodate fans starting from next week lol, good to know, there is an argument to made on behalf of the sligo team aswell and 6 day turnaround but on the back of a win shouldn't be too much of advantage to ros. Obviously I'm extremely angry I'm going to miss it having paid for flights etc..

You had flights booked specifically for the minor game?

[Why then would you believe the news more than your own experienceAlso huge number?]

Why then would you believe the news more than your own experience

Also huge number? Hardly and we should be talking about percentages. There's a billion and half of them. Even if there was a million (which there is no where near BTW) that wouldn't even be .1%. Not even sure you could call it a minority

I believe what I saw today on the news. Don t you?

I said a considerable number. I didn t mention the word huge. I dunno how many we are talking about but even thousands of fanatics can wreak havoc. Even .010% would be a big number and I would suspect a bigger % than that are radicalised. I also suspect that 'strong' governments in countries like Saudi Arabia and Morocco e.g., is keeping the lid on an even bigger crisis.

I was talking more about the general drumbeat that Islamic extremism is taking over the Muslim world.

Well if there are more then 1.5 million+ radicalised (what does that even mean?) Muslims in the world we really are in trouble.

You can quote things from the Koran or whatever but the fact is those things were written in different times and the cast majority of Muslims recognise them as belonging to that time and place as they have done for many centuries. Displayed no better than the Islamic civilisations the religion spawned, where tolerance, forgiveness and inclusiveness were very much to the fore. In fact their attitude and values probably helped coerce the Christian world into adopting these values.

These people are nutters I dont deny, how to stop I dunno, but one way to drive more people into their ranks is by tarring all Muslims with the same brush, But I guess that is partly their aim.

Where did you get that idea from?

Anybody else make the trip over?

Mulvey has done very well for them alright. He seems to have reinvented himself over there. Having said that, if he moved home tomorrow he wouldn't make the Cavan team I dont think.   I presume Rory will have the job of marking him

Probably the most annoying thread title ever. Other than that, nothing to see here.

Who should we be hoping to get in the qualifiers?

I was crying out for McEnroe to be taken off because it looked a cert that he wouldn't last the whole game without another card. It probably doesn't show up as much on TV as you say. I was hoping for McKeever to come on instead of him, we needed that extra bit of experience

Question: Why didn't the GAA have a double header last weekend with both Limerick and Clare meeting each other in Football and Hurling?

Question: Why are the GAA having a double header this weekend for the Dublin football and Hurling teams?

Question: If you were from Limerick or Clare why would you want to travel to Croke Park for a Munster  Championship game?

Who were the idiots behind the goals? Must've got lost on the way to Old Trafford or somewhere. I was embarrassed for the normal Monaghan fans. When did it become ok to chant swear words at a GAA match? Tools 

I see the Church out scaremongering again this morning (What the Church scaremongering? That's never happened before).

Obviously the Yes vote means that Accord have had their funding cut... If we're going to deal in facts let's not talk about the fact they cost €200 per couple and are a pile of absolute shite then!!

No money better spent than listening to a celibate tell me how communication and compromise will be the two most important things in my relationship... aye big lad I can read books too and I'm actually in a proper relationship unlike yourself!!!

have this shite to do myself in a couple of months but ours is 120 euro. Between that and registering out intent to marry we are out 320 quid for no good reason. And thats before we even borrow the church for an hour. Another 350 quid!!

Dont get married in the church then if you dont want to pay ffs. I got married in the church because the wife wanted to, we didnt have to pay but if we did I wouldnt have complained. Id say you are paying a lot more to the hotel for the reception! 
As for the pre-marital course, I haven't heard of one being run by a priest in years. Either way,  if you want to get  arried in the church you have to do it. If you dont want to, you can get married somewhere else, simple.

Is a real balls that it can't be watched on Sky Go app aswel

[great land]

I would agree with Seanie, it would be a sad day if Croke Park's name was changed from commercial reasons.

Waterford   -   The rack
Clare   -   occasional pied a terre
Limerick   -   Neverland

Dublin   -  The Homebase Stadium
Louth   -  Shaftesbury Square
Meath   -   Aviva 2
Westmeath   - a la recherche du temps perdu park
Offaly   -   The we are fully funded until the middle of next year Park.
Laois   -   Fantasy Island
Carlow   - bad land
Wicklow   - Northside Sports Centre
Wexford   -   My heart is living in the 50s still
Kilkenny   -   Silvermines Stadium
Longford   -  Too busy fattening cattle to be interested
