you're right, it just shows the mentality tho from my colleague in work from the other side. it's like the pro saying that the thugs were drink fuelled.

I'm hearing that the whole thing started when a coach from one of the dublin teams hung a tricolour out a window. Is this blinkers-on time, trying to explain it away rather than face it, or is it true?

down 5 up again, murtagh score, their first of the half. big dan sent off, is that the second time clancy has got a player sent off this year?

'Yes I would' - what do you mean about 'don't get me started about that kane fella on bbc'? Every week someone says that here but I never see it so I was wondering what yourse are on about! And yes, it was square ball, my immediate thought, as when Owens got the goal against Derry, but sure everyone wanted Fermanagh to beat us.

great drama in both but us in the Orchard will listen when the silver is dished out...

I agree the letters could do with responses. Last week they had a leading letter about the Down-tyrone game not being on tv and it wrongly slated RTE and said the bbc weren't allowed to cover the game. There was a headline as well about RTE. I'd be pretty miffed if I was them, but you would think the GL would have checked the facts or at least added a comment on this cos as the Sunday Tribune pointed out the bbc simply decided not to cover the game because they wouldn't pay for it. That's why we were taken back to the dark ages of communications by huddling round radios to listen to the game of the year from Newry. Having said all that, I really enjoy the GL. Joe on the back page is a must, the first thing to read, then a flick through to see what big Jarlath is saying, though it's usually tame stuff, McGrath and McGourty don't take long to read, for differing reasons, but there's a lot of work in the GL and good luck to them in distributing it and getting sales going.

I see radio ulster has put up the last half hour of their commentary from newry on saturday night...
