is mullaslin not part of Carrickmore, or did I miss something?

If you're not participating in the live draft, one of 2 things happens
If you have pre-ranked the players then whoever is the highest on you list that is still available will be drafted for you, however, if you don't pre-rank, then you will be assigned whoever is the highest ranked player in yahoo's own rankings. The biggest advantage in being in on the live draft is making sure you have your bases covered (literally) Otherwise you can end up with 5 first basemen and no outfielders, that sort of thing.
If you haven't got encyclopaedic knowledge of baseball (i.e. all of us) then I recommend that you look at a few of the different fantasy rankings available. Most of the big ones only differ by  a couple of places for the top 200 odd players which is pretty much 20 teams. You can rank the players any time before the live draft and have it saved on yahoo.

we can now modify anybody's posts, I will confess to changing one of Tony's, sorry couldn't resist it...

anybody want to add to this- its a short list so far

that had all you would need from a game- good hard physical national league- no quarter asked or given. Fair play to Tyrone, the played to a game plan in the second half and it worked for them- Dublin looked as if they ran out of steam, an Gormley and Hughes made a massive difference, stifled a lot of the space that Dublin saw in the first half. McCullagh sparked a bit of life in the forward line, his movement off the ball was excellent- Mulligan played very well in the second half. Sticks in my throat but McMenamin was very impressive- stupid sending off though- thats at least 4 weeks for him and he'll be badly missed.
I enjoyed that, these night games could catch on, ten times the value of a premiership game
Great advert for the sport

reds were poor and looked like they lacked ideas. glad to see fowler on put would have taken off Bellamy and Crouch, and looked for balls to feet from a bit of width. Everton dealt very well with the high ball in and yet Liverpool had no other ideas. very disappointing day at the office for a lot of players, and to be fair for Benitez also

croke looks class under lights. Sitting with a cup of tea and ginger nuts watching the game live in New York at home- class.

Tyrone look like they haven't played together in a while, a couple of changes and I'd say they could put a good run together in the second half. How many are going to walk though. The game hasn't been dirty- Dublin are committing "smart" fouls, but McEnaney is penalising for them for it and rightly so, though its something you would often get away with. Tyrone don't look as comfortable on the ball as they usually do- nor as organised at thats something that you expect from Mickey Harte.

Looking forward to the second half
