For me, it was when Ireland beat England in the 6 Nations in 2004. I was in a traditional England pub, in Brentwood, Essex. Surrounded by the English taunting about the Fortress Twickenham. I just waited, for a knew my moment would come.... and it did.

For some bloody reason I can't get into that site, can anyone post it up here, please

Cork secretary Frank Murphy has revealed that the GAA is considering a radical change of format for the All-Ireland football championship that would give provincial champions a second bite at the cherry.

Under the proposed format, the four provincial winners would play off for two All-Ireland semi-final places, while the losing two would play off with the two All-Ireland qualifiers for the remaining two semi-final berths.

Under the present format, the four provincial champions qualify for the All-Ireland quarter-finals where they are joined by four teams from the qualifier series. But if the proposed format is accepted, it would see the number of teams coming through from the qualifiers reduced to two, while the losing provincial champions would be given a second chance.

Murphy told the Cork county convention over the weekend that the thinking behind it was that the current system "is weighed in favour" of the qualifier series.

"It would mean that the provincial winners would meet stiffer opposition than heretofore. But it's felt that they should be given the extra opportunity of getting to the semi-final by beating one of the qualifier teams.

Murphy also told delegates that there was a growing consensus in favour of a trimmed down All-Ireland hurling championship which would limit certain teams to only one second chance.

Looks about right.
And yes Tyrone fans, we know you had an injury plagued year!!!

Personally, I think we're a little high on that list. Top 5 maybe.

Jaysus its a close run thing, I think we have too much time on our hands Ziggy!

I was still at it over the weekend, where rightly you took a break. What's that say about me?

Hi Ziggy. Why is the keeper wearing a jersey with a different sponsor at the presentation?

Sorry, didn't spot that question before.

That's the Reserve's kit. I think Noamh Brid and Greencastle's keeper kits were too similar.

As for last night, she stood me up!

I'm going out on a date now, so no time to over take Dubnut. However, that is my mission tomorrow. I shall rule this board!

(mind you they're not bad at cricket either)

That's the things about the Aussies, they are good at all sports!! Well maybe not soccer, although they were unfairly defeated in the World Cup this year.

At least we got some breathing space before 2008. Prehaps then, we would have a proper set of rules set in place then, so we won't have a repeat performance of 2005 and 2006.

One can only hope.

As for the Undergame Games, as good as it is for the young 'uns, I feel it should be scrapped altogether.
