Gavin Mc Parland will be a huge loss to us (Ballymacnab), he hit 1-7 last night against carrickcruppen. But he is young and an opportunity has came up so good luck to him

The more I hear and see about this guy (PG) the more I like him. Respect his way of playing football and they would have won on Sunday if they had better footballers.
Imo he will leave  the Armagh players better off than when he got them when he finishes up.

We have plenty of whingers here and on the media (especially) giving out about bland press conferences and after match interviews ................. yet PG and his team will take the flak for their openness. You cannot win sometimes.

Both he and Jim Gavin are ploughing a lone furrow and hope both (obviously in one instance) do very well this year.

which one?

Not sure how reliable my source is but I have heard that Jamie is heading to New York now to play with Leitrim, the figure $10k was mentioned

Don't want to comment on yesterday's match, still so disappointed

The gaastore.com will get you sorted

[7, 5, 4 and I have twin babies at 10 months.]

I feel your pain...my kids are 7, 5, 4 and I have twin babies at 10 months.
We had a Renault Espace before the twins (the worst car ever made without a doubt) which has plenty of space but the seats are cumbersome and its very sore on diesel. About 25mpg.
The engine packed in twice so I recently bit the bullet.

I used to have a Volvo XC90 which might suit your needs, 7 seats with the boot seats folding into the floor. The middle seat in the back row has a built in booster. It is a little narrower than a full size seat but the built in booster gets you away with it. Great driving car, very safe and the diesel will get you mid 30's on the diesel. But, if you need all 7 seats, it gets a bit tight for space.

My cousin has one of the older shape VW Sharans, which has 2 build in boosters, and the 7 seats are all full size. 40ish on the diesel and a good driving yoke. You could probably get an '07, '08 for in around £9K - £10. But they drive forever with them being a VW.
I looked at the new VW Sharan and Alhambra (basically the same car) but way too pricey for me. Though the sliding doors are great. Good space in them though.
Boot isnt huge with all the seats in though. However, you'll find this with any 7 seater. If you need all the seats there's not much of a boot.

We opted for an '08 Ford Galaxy, 2 litre diesel. It drives like a car and we get high 30's on fuel. Comfortable to sit in and access to the boot seats is good. Boot is probably a little bigger than other 7 seaters and the boot seats fold down too so it can be flexible. Out of all the cars I looked at it seems to be the most practical with all 7 seats up.

There were a few others I looked at, the Ssangyong Rodius...loads of space. 2 seats in middle row with space between them to get into the boot seats. Large boot too. Mercedes engine and chassis, but apparantly this means parts are expensive. The cars are cheap to buy, but they look like shite. Practical though, no doubt.
I also looked at the Chryssler Grand Voyager - not the new model as it's supposed to be a poor car. Plenty of space too, I just had doubts over buying a car I knew nothing about and know no-one who has one.

If you only need the 3 boot back seats I'd have look at the Volvo XC90. For me, if it was big enough it's what I'd have now.
If that's too small for you, I think you're looking at a people carrier or some of the larger jeeps like the Audi Q7 or Landcruise Colorado. Very pricey to buy and run those though.
But I have to say, I'm happy with the Ford Galaxy so far.

Its a TV or a new hobby you need TB, leave the wife alone

Armagh are playing in the preliminary round of ulster 19th may, and all county players are available. for their clubs. Paul grimley has let them play away stating that compettitve football will keep them fresh, with regards to injuries he said that it is no different to playing for your club or an in house training game you can get a knock or injury in either, and he is 100% right

Sorry for hijacking the thread lads, can anyone tell me the full management team for Antrim senior hurlers? Cheers
Oh and sorry where they are from?

Nobody knows then?

Louth 4-14
Armagh 4-13
