I know its maybe insensitive but if it was the father, what made him think he was responsible to decide whether his 5 children should die? If he wanted to commit suicide he should have taken his own life. Perhaps he had some mental illness but in my eyes it is unforgiveable behaviour and nothing anyone says here will change my mind.

I don't think anyone will vote for Donal Og.

I wouldnt have voted for the ballacks even if he wasnt in the GPA.

He is the best IMO, but again, I wouldn't vote for him. Detest him

As a goalkeeper he went up in my estimations over the last year or so, but his whinging would get on your tits.

I still think I'd prefer Damian Fitzhenry behind me though.

How close would you like him Johnney?  :o

Yeah I thought that about James but I always thought he was a very steady man between the posts. Nothing dramatic etc but got the job done.

Maybe not gone for good ?

I think he didnt have much to do because the ball was always at the other end of the pitch !Rarely made any glaring errors though.

Not sure you can include Mc Garry when he is not playing for Kilkenny. I would actually put Fitzgerald at the top prior to his hissy fit with Considine. Cummins is renowned for the Hollywood saves but can be dodgy IMHO. I voted for Fitzhenry though.

Not really my point Balboa... is Stevie G now a mouth too?

On the "Sir" question... obviously I have a lot of respect for the man, but I think it's more to do with listening to commentators & pundits on Match Of The Day, that made me call him Sir Alex rather than me making a consious decision.

I think Gerrard has probably realised that the English national team is suffering due to the amount of foreigners,and it is also a clever ploy to deflect some of the criticism from the "Golden Generation", if it wasnt for those pesky foreigners we would have won another 2 World Cups by now. I also think there is a difference in an England player commenting on it & a foreign manager who has been protecting his and his clubs interests, ie signing best players irrespective of nationality for 20 years.I think whatever comes out of Gerrards mouth is heavily screened by his agent.

It's funny when Sir Alex made the comments about the limit on foreign nationals within permiership clubs, Balboa was straight in with the "Mouth" jabs.

Nothing has been said since Stevie Coppell, Paul Parker, or Stevie G has backed the proposals...  ::)

I am not sure about you but i dont need someone else to tell me how to form an opinion, so because "Stevie Me" thinks there should be a limit i should concur? I stand by everything i said previously, i have no interest in the wellbeing of the English national squad, and lets not kid ourselves, neither does Fergie. I want to see the best players playing for Liverpool and i dont give a flying fcuk what corner of the planet they have come from.With the money available to the top teams do you think the fans are going to be picketing outside Anfield/Old Trafford/Emirates/Stamford Bridge to ensure the board sign the best English player? Not likely, when a team has 325 million to spend they will be looking for the top available player on the planet. Rant over.

Do we have to go through the threads author to change the title to "Club Energise - Mc Gourty Thread" ?

Finished Friday Night Lights - although various people told me it was quality I found it somewhat disappointing

It was as much a social commentary on small town USA as a book about American Football, i enjoyed it though.

How come the rescue services have only recovered 5 bodies? It isnt the biggest of crime scenes, surely they should have found the other 2 by now?

I cant imagine there would be a lot to find, in any case we will leave it to the experts 5ive Times.

Shaws Road is a very good club player alright.

I started this topic, in jest, at the RIP craze that i have found to be prevalent on this board. I think when the alcoholic busker in Omagh died and had a thread devoted to him was the final straw.
