Contrary to what some of the grumpy, self entitled pricks on the board would have you think, there aren't tens of thousands of cyclists on the roads every day.  Watch out for the hundreds of joggers who push people in front of cars.  It happens all the time.

Really?

Some tickets cancelled apparently. Only possible when the barcodes are available though

Ticketmaster should be cut out completely, gouging f*ckers

I didnt realise how attached Ticketmaster and Seatwave were. Its shockingly poor form from them. And their seats are usually the worst in the ground too.

Coldrick is the referee...

Will help the spectacle anyway as he won't be blowing every time there is minimal contact.

Am I right in saying he tends to be one who lets it flow? No blowing up for half fouls?

Your man in charge of that Hill 16 army page seems to think he's the official voice of Dublin fans. Then when he relays false ticket information to 50k followers without waiting on official word and everyone laps it up it's the GAAs fault all of a sudden when it's not true.

exactly, he jumped the gun and tried to blame the GAA and other parties. That's not good.

In a desperate desperate bid to appear cool he has shot himself in the foot and is trying to shift the blame to an easy target, the faceless GAA.

Did Tiernan play in the Sigerson Cup final or was that his brother?
Brother, he's a pharmacist

Works in Dublin too. God love him for the next few weeks...

I like the mark. Didnt think it would work at first but it has certainly speeded up the game from long kickouts. Within a few seconds you can move the ball from goalkeeper to forward line.

How did the boycott of the concession stands go?

Hopefully the dubs followed through and made a statement for the bureaucrats

The queue was bad enough in lower cusack. I saw plenty of Dubs on the pints.

Tyrone / Re: Tyrone County Football and Hurling

Mickey Harte is the reason.

Agreed. Also Peter Donnelly is an excellent coach by all reports. And look at fhe fundraising initiatives like club tyrone, a few thousand tyrone gaels in it give £500 a year to help develop Garvaghey.
Summer camps for children are another big thing. All summer every club pitch in the county is full of children learning how to play the game. That coupled with visits from tyrone players generates the interest that lasts a lifetime.

Agree on cyclists. Always remember, they are better than us pollution spewing car drivers and you should ALWAYS give them right of way regardless of situation. A cyclist scrapes your car whilst overtaking you in traffic? Smile and wave!  ;D
Are 4 of them riding abreast on a busy road? Well sir, just you stay back and toodle along behind them at 10mph round blind corners, to hell with cars coming behind you!
With regards other cars beeping at you, honestly the best response is to beep back, laugh and wave at them. Its the thing that will annoy them most. People behave in cars in a way they would never behave in public.

Thr quote doesn't make sense considering tyrone have went long for the most part this year.

Tyrone / Re: Tyrone County Football and Hurling

The excuses coming from other counties are laughable. Sick of hearing the population argument. Take Antrim, even if only 1/3 of Antrim is nationalist they would still have far far more than the pool Tyrone have to pull from. County Derry has 80k more people than Tyrone and a massive gaelic culture and club scene. Why cant these counties compete with Tyrone?

It would improve the forum if the mods could delete this nonsense thread.

Or if rational Gaels just ignored ?

There is no rationality in this drivel.

I think one could argue that bad refereeing got them to two in a row
