I don't see anything stating that the person has to be still alive, therefore I think there is only one who fits the bill for me & that's the legendary Dave Allen.

[Eddie King]

Eddie King who played for Kilclief and Bryansford at club level was one of the best full backs in the county before injury cut his career at both club and county short

He was one dirty b@llix on the field, his sons havn't reached the dizzy heights of their father on the Gaelic pitch from what i can gather

Watch the pennies & the pounds will look after themselves.

[If only our senior management hadnt had messed up we could have been going for back to back senior titles as well.]

Well done to our brilliant minor team on tonights county championship success, two in a row and should have been 3 if not for an awful refereeing robbery in 2008.
Rostrevor battled bravely in the second half after we led by ten at the interval, kicking 8 wides in the process. Caolan Mooney gave a display of pure brilliance. The lad is as good as ive seen at underage level in Down, the best since Benny Coulter and Mickey Walsh for the Bridge in their juvenile days. He is going to be some loss to Down football. At the presentation afterwards people where more interested in commending this amazing player rather that talk about the Kilcoo success.
Nial Kane, Aaron Morgan, JJ McLaughlin, Martin Devlin and Cillian Laverty played staring roles while Ryan Johnston gave a great performance, our best player on the night scoring 0-5. Jerome Johnston and Darragh OHanlon where not as good as usual but stil provided great leadership and provided the crowd with some great moments.
Congratulations to Barney McEvoy, Terry OHanlon, Sean Gribben and Jimmy Doherty in leading the lads to back to back championships, a very positive management team. If only our senior management hadnt had messed up we could have been going for back to back senior titles as well.

If the Titanic hadn't have hit an Iceberg she'd still be the best cruiseliner in the world, get over it.

[1. Currently there is no changing rooms at Pairc Esler2. Asking Carryduff to travel to Newry to play an Intermediate Semi Final is a joke why not play it in Castlewellan.3. Kilcoo and Bryansford will all be going the one way into Newry when Castlewellan is bewteen the 2 of them.]

They mean the County Pitch and not the back pitch in newry.

Also i think it is a disgrace that the Intermediate semi final between Annaclone and Carryduff and the Senior semi final between Kilcoo and Bryansford are being played in Pairc Esler for 2 reasons.

ahem, think that might be 3 reasons then razor 

Have to say I didn't hear the booing from where I was but I did have the displeasure of hearing first hand the worst bit of abuse I have ever heard in a GAA ground.
I was sitting in row UU of the lower Cusack & there were signs asking patrons not to stand up due to wheelchair viewers behind us, fair enough I thought.
I was horrified to hear a County Down sc**bag (only word for him) tell a wheelchair user who had asked him to sit down, "fook you & fook your wheelchair".
I confronted the dirty rotten b@astard & told him to catch a grip of himself, he then went into hibernation mode & hardly spoke for a good half hour after this, it was all I could do to stop the lad beside me from ripping the head of this tosser.
The p***k in question was, at a guess in his 60's & dressed in a suit, if a teenager had said this he would have been slapped by someone i'd say.
Highly embarrasing for this clown to be associated with Down GAA.

You only have to listen to the UUP leadership candidate Tom Elliott's answers to Down's quest for Sam on todays TalkBack program & that will enlighten you to the bitterness that would appear to be bread into these scummy b@stards.

["The Car in Front is a Toyota"]

It was a young Harrison from Glasdrumman.  Later become known as the Glasdrumman Indian Brave (because of his long hair and headband).  He remians a local legend.
He began with a pitifully small flag, and despite the attentions of a guard, was passed up several larger flags until, by the end he had a massive Down flag and Tricolour.

Down supporters are reknown for this type of flamboyant behaviour. 
In the 94 final for instance, some wags positioned themselves close to the big permanent Toyota advert sign at the canal end (the Dubs having secured the Hill) that read "The Car in Front is a Toyota".  The wags produced a massive banner, obsuring the Toyota advert with the words "The Man in Front Is Micky Linden".
In 1961, before the game had begun, a Down fan scaled a goalpost at the Canal end and attached a Down flag.  God knows what they might get up to on the 19th.
     

This I believe was a lad called Hugh McKay brother of the Down goalkeeper that day Eddie McKay.

I'm not going to get into the 'should he shouldn't he have started' arguement but I do wonder, why on earth with such an injury hanging over him was he not wearing a heavy knee support?

Does anyone else think that this commentator is a proper pain in the arse & tends to use the same phrases over & over again, I would love to know how many times during the 1st half today has he described a player using the following 'he's having a great season'.
The 30 players on the field today are all having a great season Ger or they wouldn't be playing in Croke Park today.

[genuine fans]

I don't care what you say- raising an extra £145,000 out of the pockets of genuine fans who have followed the team through thick and thin is a slap in the face. It wasn't needed in 91 or 94- I'm pretty sure the great Kerry team of the past decade didn't ask if of their supporters but our board only see the £ signs. Many genuine supporters are struggling for work never mind the fortunes they have already spent kitting out their kids in strips and getting them flags etc.

If your a genuine fan, as you claim to be LB then you will not begrudge a small contribution towards ensuring this group of players get the best of everything to help them in their quest for an All Ireland Senior title, these lads deserve the best & the money has to be got from somewhere, you should maybe go & get your ticket from outside the County if it causes you so much pain to pay the £12 extra.

The planners in the Greater Belfast area have excelled themselves once more.

Shocked to hear of the tragic news about the lad from Warrenpoint, my thoughts go out to his family & friends at this terrible time, as well as his team mates & anyone unfortunate enough to have witnessed the tragic event this evening, RIP.
