This thread has lost what little credibility it had.

Amazingly 2 people voted for Ciaran Whelan.  :o

If you're up there and you can hear me - please save me Superman.

Excellent. To save yourself work in future why not cut out everyone from O'Neill downwards (like they do in golf), as none of these have a prayer in terms of catching the leaders ;D

You really are a Penis.

Drinkers beware!

A percentage of money from each can sold goes to the GPA. It's in small print on the back of the can.

Sure all club energise products donate to the GPA.

So the dentist says I've only slightly damaged the nerve and feeling should return in a few weeks  :'(

he did recommend that I go to hospital though as I could well have fractured my cheek bone so I'm sitting here now waiting on x ray results...

doesnt appear to be  fracture either so looks like all fuss over nothing... (providing the numbness goes away)

Good news - Better to be safe than sorry all the same.

Full participation from all of society is important Men, Women, Children and people with disabilities. Puts the GAA in the 21st century.

Well said. \just to add / from all the different communities in  Ireland too.
Agreed.

Do you play Rois?

When I have time to make the training sessions, yes.

Well then you are probably more qualified to comment than anyone else. What's your take on the standard? Is enough work being done at grass roots to promote the Ladies game?

I think it is good that woman are active in the GAA. Some of the comments are from the dark ages and some are pure wind up material. Full participation from all of society is important Men, Women, Children and people with disabilities. Puts the GAA in the 21st century.

The direct pick up of the ground is a joke and should be dealt with as soon as. Can anyone tell me why this is allowed, surely a women can get her big toe under the ball just like us men do.

Seriously, is that one of your main arguments against ladies football??  I've seen people call on here for it to be taken out of the man's game!

I think I could have predicted who would have a negative opinion on this, and how intelligently those opinions would be articulated on here.

Do you play Rois?

Rather than start a new thread i thought i'd tag onto this one.

i was playing a foreign sport at the weekend and due to a clash of heads i got headbutted on my right cheek.  ever since that smack, my top row of front teeth have been numb.  i thought i would give it a few days to see if it went away but it hasnt yet.

has this ever happened to any of you?

Get yourself to a Dentist pretty sharp. I had a tooth went numb after a clash of heads and the dentist had to do some magic stuff to stop me from losing it.

so to the dentsits rather than that A&E?

Firstly a disclaimer.
I'm not a dentist and not too sure what is wrong with you, but I got a whack on the mouth and the tooth went numb so I went to the dentist.

If it's your tooth giving you bother I'd imagine it's his remit, cos he would look at gums and issues around the tooth knitting with bone.

If it is your cheek that's hurting perhaps an x-ray at A&E would be better.

I'd get it looked at sharpish cos you don't want to lose a tooth / teeth, as it can be expensive to fix.

If you have given it a few days and nothing has improved best to get it looked at. Hope it works out ok.

It's a pretty brutal standard - did you see the penalty the Dublin girl hit. I could have farted harder.

In fairness, All the best to them I say. They are an awkward looking being with an O'neills ball but they want to play then more power to them.

Are any of them pretty? Do we have any photos?

Man Utd's London feeder club is doing quite well. I'd say Sir Alex will be back for a bit of shopping in January.
