"Aye buttery" is alive and well.Who cares how good they were, they were as good as they were allowed to be.

Get that chip off your shoulder Buswhacker, honestly it aint doing you any favours.

If I were to die tomorrow I'd have these regrets.

Not taking the chance of a job a few years back, offered to me on a plate and I thought I wasn't experienced enough at the time!!

Making the same mistake last week when a friend offered to triple my wages in 3 years WTF!! Sales job not my scene

Not picking myself for the All Ireland hurling final, and dealt with the shame of it after I stayed on for the whole match 

Agreeing with my mate in leaving off our star player in Senior hurling semi final against Loughgiel a few years ago, he came on after 20 minutes and nearly won the match FFS

Opting out of buying a house 21 years ago when I had chance, I'd have had it nearly paid off by now.

In general though I'm a happy man. Couple of things i would like to do yet and providing I don't croak it soon I should get the chance, I hope

Don't know if he is still around but heres a horse that may interest him today.

2.05 Fairyhouse No. 2 Budweiser

Seen that Boojangles but i just got a text about another horse in that race FFS, Case and Point, an each way one though so.......

Yis are hateful cnuts in Armagh!!

Two cracking games without your Cross lads FFS

Stop blaming referees FFS

Who said they were a great side? The point loughgiel posters were making was that they must have been a great team because they won Munster.

I've already highlighted that the Munster club championships have not produced a winner since 2004 and before that it was 96!!

Lets move on to the final. Offaly teams as Dunloy know fair pretty well at this stage!!   Coolderry will be a good team also, I make it an even game and down to who wins the breaks. Loughgiel won majority of the breaks on saturday (winning break ball is not entirely down to luck) and their confidence is up. As someone else has said don't let themselves get caught up in the moment.

And they may win a second!!

The bookies don't make LG  favourites. But then they were wrong last Saturday.

Bookies are looking at Antrim v Offaly. (and forgetting 1989). This is an experienced Loughgiel team against a raw enough Coolderry outfit, and a Loughgiel team that dismantled a fancied Na Piarsaigh side.

You're starting to sound like BC1!!!!

Yeah I had heard Frampton was going to be on that bill as well but now he's going to be part of the Kell Brook vs Matthew Hatton undercard on the same date. In Frampton's case I don't think that was a bad move as he's got a potential big fight at domestic level in Scott Quigg.

Yes and this fight will happen, will shape up to be a cracker. Quigg is no mug and I hope Carl will be well prepared (I'm sure he will)

Carl Framton was looking  on that bill. Not happening now.

It's blatantly clear that there are no shades of grey allowed, when it comes to giving opinions/perspectives on the teams/the game played at the weekend. Your either with us or agin us being the moto.

I actually think LG are in with a great chance of winning the AI club championship.
A) Because they put in a great team performance at the weekend and will give any team something to think about if they maintain that performance level.
B) Because they will not be facing a team like Birr, Athenry, Portumna in their prime who suffered SF defeats before becoming powerhouses at this level. Both teams are relative rookies.

No doubt those already "offended" will see this as a snipe rather than see comments like these as simple fact. I'm not quite sure why. Maybe they don't enjoy the praise from all quarters and prefer to take exception to anyone who would dare to suggest that NP weren't one of the best club teams to have came out of munster going on recent form.

AYE BUT if LG do win on the 17th, will NAG1 claim their All Ireland is a lesser one because they never played the likes of Portumna, Ballyhale or James Stephens?  All very good teams, but you can only beat who's put in front of you.

Their second All Ireland mind you!! I hope along with a begrudgingly Skull, Nag1 and maybe a few others that Loughgiel win the final, it may just put the other teams asses in gear and really push on.

I always said that Loughgiel had the team to win an All Ireland, I hope I'm right. Could i say the same thing if the Johnnies or Rossa were in the same position? I remember cheering Rossa on back in the day (Buffers) but my throat would find it difficult to cheer on the Johnnies lol.

Sure we are looking to hand back our football All Ireland medals cause it was a crap team we played in the final also!!! Oh and we never beat Cross so we aren't even All Ireland champions FFS.

Can we debate on whether a team is good based on a performance that was live on TV and for those who went down and watched it in Parnell? or will we keep going on that this team were the Munster champions and by virtue of that, they were leagues above the teams from Antrim!!! Putting ourselves down is something the southern media are very good at.

An oul boy (After the match) was going on about what da fcuk would ya's know about hurling up there!! No better reply was, keep that hurling going in Limerick, you'll get there in the end!!

1/3 for NP 5/2 loughgiel.

Similar odds again I think

You must not spend much time watching Cross play. I have been watching them for many a year and I can't remember a game where they played with a sweeper and I don't think that they will change for this game and rightly so.  They will go man to man and if the defenders are not fit to do the job they were giving they will be taking off and a new defender in. I agree that O'Leary is a potential match winner but if the Cross midfielders and half Forwards put the pressure on their player like they have done all during Ulster and Last year the ball going into them players will be poor.

At the other end do the Crokes have good enough defenders to look after Clarke and Mc Conville?

Hasn't been too many defenders that have managed Clarke. So picking up McConville who i think links up a lot of play is the main man to mark.

It's who has best prepared over the break that usually wins. Cross have been doing it right for so many years they will be properly prepared no matter what BC1 says here. If Crokes have prepared properly and geared their training around playing Cross and trying to work on their weakness (Ha Cross having weaknesses) then they might have a shot. If they are bullish to think 'we'll concentrate on our game' then they will get beat.

I did rightly over the weekend for a change. Won £127 on various gaa bets. Was doing teams to score over so many points or under in one case. Some good bets this weekend. Can Cross win and win by two or more?

I wouldn't stand for that bit of sniping myself minder

Ah bitta criac, at least he never came back with 'aye but' 

Wasn't at the meeting MR, but almost sure I remember hearing before that there may be a 5-year exclusion from entering once you win a particular Ulster Club Junior or Intermediate C'ship.

We last won it (or competed in it) in 2005, my last medal 

Your only medal, lol
