Camomile tea is as bad as UHT milk.

yer toot!

Re hippy teas, have grown very fond of the green tea

Talking of dogs piss,  what is the craic with Coors Light being so popular? Shopping trolleys at Christmas were packed with the stuff.....its a fairly crappy beer

Im thinking that the number of paid for managers is exaggerated by Joe Brolly to make a very valid point, but the exaggeration almost in itself attacks the argument

over the last few months I have spoken to a number of people involved in club management mainly in Armagh, Tyrone and Derry, and a couple in Antrim

Right now there are some clubs with serious aspirations on the look out for management - at least 4 in Tyrone Div 1 , 3-4 in Armagh Div 1 and 1 I know of in Derry....must be a similar picture across the province in Down, Antrim etc

There are over 2000 clubs in the country, but in the 32 senior championships, there are only ever going to be 3-4 teams who have a chance to win...so in Armagh it always looks like Crossmaglen, yet in Tyrone there are maybe 6 possibles...in Antrim it always looks like St galls and in Down there could be 3 or 4 etc....etc...

Dublin might be a different picture with the finance available to some clubs, but rural clubs right now are struggling to run their clubs in the black...

Payments to managers will never appear on a club accounts and never acknowledged by a treasurer, but it does happen - whether its in a brown envelope with a local business man or an "in-kind' arrangement which suits both parties....

Take into account the fact that only a few clubs will ever realistically EVER have a chance o winning anything....either through resource, standard of players etc...

Managers are GETTING PAID, there is no doubt about that, its just trying to get a handle on how many are, and how much....

...and then really getting an idea of what can seriously be done about it...

if certain junior clubs in Derry are paying outside managers (or have done so in the very recent past), then Brolly isnt exaggerating at all

Suarez replaced by Lambert and Balotelli and Gerrard to be replaced by Delph. That's some serious downgrading there - what is Rodgers thinking?

Some would say it's not Rodgers making these calls

Didn't think it would all disappear though after it was there this afternoon. 

I can see them ok. You could go into 'application manager' on your phone, into Showbox and chose 'clear data' (will clear any saved data like the contents of your library), but it seems to solve any problems

His distribution has definitely improved. Coutinho would certainly miss him

Looks like Lucas is off to Inter   

Surely not unless there is a holding midfielder already sorted as a replacement. Lucas has been playing well this season

Clarke @ #7? McGeeney did say he wants Clarke to appreciate what its like further out the field and experience how the ball gets played into him. Interesting

no harm to McGeeney but that is one the most ridiculous things / ideas I've heard a manager say / implement. Playing Clarke in a defensive / providing role, especially as he'll, 100% be playing as a forward come championship time is a waste of time. A halfback with the strength and skills to tackle and win turn over ball, as well as reading the situation as an attack starts  surely merits game time in this position in the lead up to the league. Its actually more mad than Harte playing Penrose as a defender for 5 (maybe more) odd years...the mind blows!

Maybe that's why your not a manager or coach?

no.....Armaghs 1 rolls royce forward being played in defence. Shouldnt be asking me about my managerial credentails, ask McGeeney

Skeog, Penrose blindly slapped at the ball using alternative hands as quick as he could ie couldnt tackle for sugar

Anyone using Shoebox on a Windows tablet?

Showbox even! When I download the Showbox apk app it just seems to disappear on my Windows tablet. Any help appreciated.

Are you using an android emulator?

Emulator??? Excuse my ignorance.

Showbox is based on the android platform not windows so you need to run an android emulator on your windows machine for it to work. Just google "install showbox on windows". I got it running on a windows7 laptop for a friend of mine using an emulator called Bluestack.

A word of warning though Bluestack annoyingly keeps asking for credit card details which it says it only needs to verify your location. I didn't take the chance... There are numerous other emulators though.

There may be a Windows download for Moviebox kicking around though similar to the iOS ones that are currently around?? Someone on here will know..

Just a wee word on emulators. I looked into them a wee while back. Bluestacks was the best I tried. The other 2 were far too processor hungry. In saying that bluestacks ended up bringing my ultrabook to a near enough standstill. It also only allows movies to play on their lowest definition and forces you to add a couple of dung apps pretty frequently or pay them some cash. Laptop also started blue screening!!! All in all i wouldn't have an emulator near my machine

 half a fecking million sterling a week. Surely not ?

The GPA are doing nought. ..a few self servers on an undisclosed wage  paying lip service to some of the countries elite players whilst jet setting around the world.  Those chancers don't  wanna rock the boat I'd imagine

The video shows one of the attackers walking up to the wounded cop, then the video is censored but you can hear the kill shot. It's gruesome.

to the core. :-(

We started a new phone / tech policy in the house last night. All phones, gadgets or whatever are left in a basket in the kitchen at 10pm until the morning. Its mostly for our eldest young teenager's benefit, who is spending way too much time on hers and is finding it hard to concentrate on studies etc. Good for me also as I was watching too many shows and not getting enough sleep

any of you do anything similar? Any tips re phone etiquette and children?

cheers

Season 4 Episode 12 'Long Time Coming' is definately on couch tuner..just checked there. Click Homeland from the menu on the right hand side. Will be the top episode listed on the left

Sorry to be a pain but I saw all that but when I click into it and then I have to click something else and then a pop up appears and then when I try to play it it asks me to sign up to something. I'm wary of signing up for things so just left it. Where am I going wrong.

Your help is much appreciated as I am desperate to see the final episode!

ah jeez. Usually fairly good that site. Showbox on your phone / tablet (thats where i watched it sir)  or maybe try 1channel.ch if its still on the go (stopped using due to the crazy mount of pop ups)
