sam, how did you get on in munich?

don't think so EC, they lost at the semi final stage so would go into round 2!

Old Irish Folk Pub, The Shamrock, possibly Killiams as well. pm me if you want directions etc Sam!

Happy Birthday Ziggy, i am in the same boat as Lar, this is the first time i have been on this week so only seeing this thread now!!!
Hope the hangover today is not too bad!!

cheers lads, finally got Seán home this evening, so the fun really starts now, though it is great to have him in his own home to get him settled!!

if any of you can recall the Irish names thread I posted on about a month ago, we called him Seán Mícéal, after his 2 grandfathers!

Control, alt and the letter St Pauls.

Congratulations and enjoy

awesome, worked a treat SB, thanks for that!! 

Holy crap, after what has happened to me last week, this has brought me back to Earth with a bump!
my thoughts and prayers are with his family as this sad time!
RIP

i figure rather than starting a new thread i would resurrect this one, and let you all know i am going to be a dad for the first time in November!! it can't come quick enough!!

well, the big day arrived eventually!! my son was born on Thursday night at 10.53pm at 8lbs 8oz!!! to say i am over the moon would be an understatement!! hopefully get him home later on today!!! 

there used to be a competition where the winners of each worldwide region would come to Ireland and play a competition to see who wins.
I know one year the San Fran GAA were North american boards representatives, NY would have sent another, UK , australia and I think Europe would all have sent sides.
Think there may have been a ladies competition also.
Last I heard of this was in the late 90's - prob died a death when all the Irish came home to work and the teams abroad were struggling to put out sides.

it was still going in 2002 as i was on the European team that year, but due to money and distance between teams on the Continent, it became unfeasible to sustain!

who say Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh has the right spelling for it

aye, but he was christened Michael Moriarty, so that doesn't mean anything. i was asking if this was the only spelling, or did people use the other 2 names as well.

I hope some one can answer this question for me, but what is the correct spelling of Michael in Irish?
I have heard of a number of different ones, Micheal (fada over the A), Miceal (with a fada over the I and A, or just the A) and Michil (with a fada over the first I).
Can you tell me which is the correct one, if any or all of them are right, or is is just personal preference?

Bright will be the last team into the Semis after beating us 1-15 to 0-07. it was all square at 0-06 a piece at half time but we just didn't come out in the second half and Bright just ran away with it!! Gutted!

Any word on club championship? Obviously postponed until after the 19th I'd presume! Also are there fixtures for this weekend?

We were told last night that there will be no matches (league or championship) until after the final. Basically a compromise as most of the teams with county players have went through the whole year without them, so at least they will have them for the last 3 or 4 matches.

Only re arranged games can be played inbetween times, ie games that should have been played by now but were postponed for one reason or another.

i assume it is all Senior Championship games are not being played until after the final as we have been told our JFC 1/4 Final is taking this Sunday against Bright?

I am 10 weeks away from becoming a father for the first time, and for some reason a lot of things recently have made me emotional but that story was the straw that broke the camels back. the tears are streaming down my face at the minute. what wonderful news that is, i can only hope that junior comes without any complications like that and is a strong and healthy baby!!
