Is Jordan included for his ability to defend and also to get players sent off?

If everything is working fine it is safe enough.i don't understand how your vent goes out a hole in the wall,it should be piped over your tank.and it definitely should not be producing steam under any circumstances.as for the electrical side of things,haven't a clue.

Rihanna Hardey was the child's name.

Is that not only true if the safety devices are working(thermostat).if this fails could you not end up with a situation were the water is being constantly heated.the boiling water goes up the vent,into the tank,which then feeds the cylinder again.if this cycle continues for too long,and the cold water storage tank is plastic,you could end up with a larger amount of boiling hot water in a plastic tank that will eventually melt.
      I could be way wrong,but I have it in my head this happened in England or Wales,and a child got badly burnt when the tank burst.

You can't just leave the immersion heater on non stop,very dangerous.nothing to do with what it will cost.

Ballykinlar seem to be really struggling,you'd have to wonder how much longer they will hold out for unfortunately.thats not a bad showing from killyleagh either,Mitchell's would be one of the stronger teams in the division.I'd see themselves,ardglass and drumaness being favourites to go up.

Any results from division 3?i think so far Mitchell's beat killyleagh quite easily,ardglass got a good win over aughlisnafin and St. Paul's won a tight one against magheralin.any other games played so far?

Definitely up against it.i hope I'm wrong but with the pace and mobility of the Dublin forwards and midfield,along with the wide open spaces in croke park we could be in for a long night.would also be concerned about our forwards.the ones who have the pace required for this level lack the stature,while those who have the stature lack the pace.i don't mean to be so negative as we played really well against mayo and should have beaten cork,but I think this is a massive step up.

have just been reading about the situation in letterkenny where there is a dispute between the gaels and st eunans regarding boundaries.in a nutshell the gaels want their own catchment area,eunans dont.made me think of newry,a town of a similar size,probably a fair bit bigger.what is the situation regarding clubs picks of players?is it similar to west belfast,were you play for the club your father played for.is it linked to primary schools?or are there actual boundaries?

while not agreeing completely with the new proposals,the county board are right to try and shake up the basement division in down football.the only meaningful games for saul,drumaness and bredagh this year were amongst each other.the same will more than likely be the case next year with bredagh,mitchells and dundrum.looking at it from the point of view of these three clubs,it is disheartening to have to spend a year playing 80% of your matches against uncompetitive opposition.from the point of view of the other clubs it isnt much better as they dont realistically have a chance of promtion.its similar to the situation in the nhl div2,were each year you have two of the 'stronger' hurling counties fighting for one promotion place.its not an ideal situation.if the two divisions were mixed,would it possibly encourage the div4 teams to improve standards as they face stiffer opposition?

Couldn't really agree with that.Saul may be in the 4th division,but they do have quality players in King,Vint and Keenan.Kilclief would no doubt make up the majority of the team,but not 12 of the starting 15.Ardglass too have a number of quality men,as seen by their string of good results in the second half of last season,when they had a full compliment of players.
     If the cream of these three teams were brought together and trained properly for the next six to eight weeks I'm convinced they would give a good account of themselves.I also don't buy the argument that they won't be able to play together due to parish rivalries.a good manager will have this sorted within the first few weeks of training.
     Hope it works out for the lads selected as there are some great fellas on all three teams who have been toiling away for years and deserve such an opportunity.

As a general rule,never say anything on the board that you wouldn't say to a mans face.that's only fair.

McComiskey is a class act,but I've seen him well marked in games,whereas Harrison is lethal every time I've watched him.I'm refering to club football only.

My team would be

Armstrong
toner
deegans
costelloe
doran
kingo Saul
mcnulty
lynch
sheerin
mullan
slevin
Murray
magorrian
keenan
miskelly

the best player in the division,Harrison,unfortunately missed too many games to be considered.

It should be Saul against bosco next week,with bredagh playing bosco the following week.thought bredagh played the majority of the football and deserved the win.
