i worked in the pub industry for a while, and the pub i was working in(in the north) was buying kegs at 130euro, splits(mixers)35p, the vodka was 15 pound stg a litre and a half bottle.

a pint was 3.10X90=279 euro 149prof
a vodka was 2.20x30 in a1ltr bottle 66stg 51pd prof
a split was 1.10stg  3 times the price.
and as for shots and the like they were savage profit.

U2 are brillant, bono is a tool, is it true he burned the tri-colour in germany years ago.

the pitch is in riverdale in the bronx close enough to woodlawn, were all the irish in the bronx live, hotels r mostly in the city thats where all your shopping and night life is, there are a few pubs that do guest house services on woodlawn also.

from what i know of p mc donnell he's a defensive minded manager, unless he shakes that off after last years shambles, but i can see him goin with at least one midfielder who is defensive minded, and if he could somehow turn p mc grane into this kind of player we could be on a winner round midfield, let one of the youger fellas do the attacking play like charlie,mckenna,lavery etc(dont think this role would suit toner) and this would leave mc grane to do his fielding and have a presence in and around the engine room for the younger fellas, and after a bit of thinking i think we need a CHF that could shield our midfield for kick outs like j mc entee used to, i think mc grane misses john for this job and also that john used to take the odd vital catch and relieve pressure from mc grane and co, another aspect of the game we need to look at is, the goalkeeper needs to start looking for the odd short kick if its on, hearty i know drives the ball 80 yards down the field but he can do the short game no problem,2003 being an example and he used to do it with cross wit stephen clarke alot,this pulls some traffic out of midfield.

well lads new to all this craic but find the last few pages of debate interesting, if i could add my pennies worth to the debate, i agree about the step up from club to county is bigger than most think, as an example Stephen o neill is this years all ireland, he was posting big scores all summer with his club and although he was ok in the all ireland he wasnt the stephen o neill we would have seen if he had been with the county all year. The cross players although they are playing at a high level during the all ireland club i think for the younger fellas looking to break into the team,their success with cross curtails there chance to impress mc donell and co. on the subject of peader toal, with the proper coaching and application this fella is a super footballer, a bit of a loose cannon yes but thats part and parcel of the man, if he got his head right and few games under his belt he could be one link in the chain of gettin the half forward line back to its primary job. he might not have the commitment of john mc entee of some of his other attribtes but his left foot (i think) is just as sweet and he can kick long distance scores which we need to get back. i'll have a stab at the team for the tyrone game.

Surely this team has to include K Toner & definitely Vernon. Otherwise a sound looking team,

and where do these fellas slot in, im thinkin we need a tall rangey midfielder again, ie john toal=02 philip loughran=03, perhaps the league will answer this question, joe feeney is an interesting dimension to a full forward line but whoever plays here is gonna be playing out round the half forward line, k o rourke could also be an addition although height isnt on his side and he's light, eamon maguire,mark little etc dont fair out to badly and we need a live wire like that.
