Tommy can be hilarious just in conversation, but his stand up is hit and miss.

That unplanned tour he did was absolutely brutal.

Is it not just a case of an unfortunate accident?  ;D



Did Dougal do another funeral?

We weren't in the North.Ordinary people did not suffer austerity measures on anywhere like the scale as down South.Banks were encouraged to lend and not properly regulated by Governments.

People suffer austerity everyday, North and South. Cuts, benefit reform, water charges, bedroom tax, household tax, zero hour contracts, makey-up taxes. The list goes on.

It is not under British rule. Ergo 'free'.

The 26 is not a country, but part of a country. It is however a state.


Put the two of them together and you get Free State. I didn't think it was that difficult to work out.

It's under EU rule though. That's just as bad, if not worse.

Really? I don't remember us Northerners having to be bailed out,or swallow extreme austerity measures

We were all f**ked by the banks and governments, and will continue to be.

Connolly rarely even stands out on the Dublin team. Players like Kilkenny, Fenton, MacAuley, McManamon, Flynn, Rock and even Brogan stand out and are more inspirational figures on the field than Connolly is. In most games he is anonymous, except when he's up to his dirty tricks.

Bernard Brogan? Really? Run this poll in 10 years and Brogan wouldn't even be mentioned, never mind make the top 25. Connolly either.

Are you serious? They'll both be in the top 10 for definite, Connolly should be in the top 5 now and in 10 years. Both are genuine great forwards playing in an era when it is much more difficult to be a forward, particularly an inside one.

Deadly serious.

Brogan is decent but should be nowhere near the top 25. He's only there because it's easier for people to remember last weeks players than those of 30 years ago.

As for Connolly, he's probably the most over-rated player in the last decade.

Anyway, Owen B is running this poll again in 2027, so we'll see then how great these two were regarded.

Canaan was a better player when Tyrone were shite. When Harte took over, he and his teammates resorted to anything that got them over the line, so his game and skills were watered down after 2002. Still a very talented player though and deservedly in the top 25.

Are there any transgender players within the GAA? Do the GAA rules address gender fluidity at all?

I know there have been several high profile cases in other sports which caused controversy.

I wonder then, if Northern counties will have to have a percentage of their starting 15 made up of such players, to fall in line with Fair Employment/Equality legislation?

I thought Zlatan would leave in summer. Now he's out for months, maybe he will sign (if offered) just to guarantee himself a wage, and a few weeks playing at the end of next season (a Champions Leagur medal too).

Can you lift a team mate up to catch the ball, like in a line-out in rugby? Be deadly for the smallish Tyrone lads trying to get a mark.

There's no rule against it. So if you did it and the ref blew it, it'd be interesting to hear his reason and what rule he was invoking.

If that's the case, could a player be lifted up to sit/stand on the crossbar to prevent a winning point?
