So what is the actual story of northern cars using the M50.  Was down it yesterday and apparently have until 8pm tonight to pay my toll on eflow.ie



Here's an article from the gaurdian saying that you will be tracked down:

Went through it about a month back, didn't take any chances - though i went down on the friday, back on sunday and i only paid for both on the sunday night i.e my payment for going through on friday was late.

1. Guinness
2. Coors Light
3. Will try anything once & may even go through a phase for a month or two of drinking nothing but this choice but will always revert back to options 1 or 2

Heres's the rule:

2.2 After a foul, play is restarted by a free kick or
a throw-in where the foul(s) occurred.
EXCEPTIONS
(i) In the case of fouls by a defending player
within the rectangles, the following shall
apply;
A penalty kick shall be awarded for an
Aggressive Foul within the large rectangle
or any foul within the small rectangle. The
penalty kick shall be taken from the
ground at the centre point of the 13m line.
A free kick from the centre of the 13m line
shall be awarded for a Technical Foul by a
defending player within the large rectangle
but outside the small rectangle.

Last Sunday was the first time I actually thought a referee didn't give free on purpose so as to influence the outcome of a game. After the second last kick of a game a player from the team leading 09-08 dropped the ball and touched it on the ground in his panic to pick the ball up on his own goal line . 3 seconds later after same player played the last kick of the game the bould David Goldrick blew the final whistle. To have given the 14 yard free which he should have and assuming it was scored would have meant the entire Leinster club championship schedule being moved back. I just wonder?!?!?

Just goes to show, we're not all cut out to be refs, isn't that right NL?  ;)

Technically it should have been a penalty (assuming the player wasn't the goalkeeper - and then it that case it isn't a foul)

Used to upgrade my mobile at every opportunity... but recently i've just kept the same phone because it worked 100% and gave me no hassle no matter how much abuse i put it through.  It's a sony ericsson but its been that long that i'm not sure of the model - w800i i think.

I'll probably upgrade soon tho and i intended sticking with sony ericsson given how my current phone has lasted. i was thinking about the C905.  Now having 2nd thoughts due to the posts here...

I also have the nokia 6500 classic for work - which is a grand phone as well.  The N96 is getting good reviews so that might be the way to go

Was never fussed on going down the touchscreen route but they seem to be getting good reviews on here, so i could be persuaded.

Any advise would be welcome.

Sooner the better I say as O'Neills have had the monopoly for far too long!

O'Neills have had alot of competition in all fairness... I would however like to know the break-up of shirt revenue's back into the boards....




Qlso in relation to the three stripes in Ruling by the Irish Courts - Does it apply North of the Border... I am sure it would't  - so does any club in the north have three stripes

I know there was some issue this year with our club getting non-playing gear - AFAIK we weren't able to get o'neills gear with 3 stripes on it!

Have been looking at honeymoons as well,

Visited trailfinders and found them excellent, very informative and helpful.
At the minute we've 2 main option:

4 nites in Vegas, 2 nites in LA, 3 nites Santa Babara, 1 nite Monterey and finishing with 4 nites in san fran

OR

4 nites in Vegas, 2 in LA, 5 in Hawaii and 4 in san fran

Generally to go to Hawaii would push the cost up - is it worth it?



Be sure to do the helicopter tour of the grand canyon

We used this outfit and thought they were great.

Ball Park, cornerback, roughly how much are you talking?

Your probably looking at £3000 for flights (incl 2 internal) & hotels, then £1000+ for spending money

Must check tonight just to confirm that - don't think i'm too far away anyway.

Edit: there was a very favourable exchange rate at the time - slighty under 2 Dollars to the pound
