[The tradition of developing young players is still a big part of the club & wouldn't it be great if united repeated the Wembley success on May 28th]

Was great the Matt lived to see Uniteds win their first title for 26 years in 1993 & then on his birthday/50th anniversary of Munich united regained the European crown

Yeah it's so good to see many young Manchester lads breaking through to the Senior Ranks. . . Hernandez, Macheda, Fabio, Rafael, Nani, Bebe etc. . .

Are you taking the piss son??!!!

He is definately taking the piss.

For all those that think united's squad is weak/not good enough let's wait & see how the season pans out shall we?

& never said i knew! I'm a bit like Carrick.. good but not the great

Carrick is shite.........

Surely there's no way he can stay put after the last few days

You're taking the mickey, surely? This is a real, actual AFL player? I just went looking for a picture of a poncy looking bloke with a girly hairdo and shorty-short shorts to take a poke at the Aussie footballer image. I can't believe I hit the jackpot.

Is it not Pat Sharpe from Fun House 

From memory Lockhart looked after himself that day also.

Any good deals for flights to the USA to be had at the minute??

Anyone got any good holiday recommendations??

So another defeat for the Gooners today just noticed Wenger stormed off at the final whistle with no hand shakes for big Sam, if Fulham beat ye & spurs win there remaining games they finish 3rd right?

Do you already know the answer to this question?

Rooney got clipped slightly and went down rolling about like someone had snapped his ankle. Once he saw the yellow card come out he was up on his feet as if nothing had happened. It was an absolute disgrace!

Have to agree with you there.

Not long finished 'Marching Powder' by RustyYoung & Thomas McFadden.

Interesting read about the notorious prison San Pedro in Bolivia.

Tough reading at times but overall an interesting read.

Cheers WFR.

Glad to be back in the heartland of fine conversation and debate 

Hello again.

Not a newbie but havent posted for nearly 2 years!

Work is very quiet at the minute.

A lot more time on my hands.

Congratulations to the Screen.  Good result indeed.

[any neutrals out there, i would like to hear an unbiased opinion on the ref??i thought he was shocking. taking a hell of a lot of dublin frees forward and never once did he take a derry free forward despite the descent from dublin players. though whelan was extremely lucky yet again (apparently he's never allowed to be reprimanded by a ref) although in sayin that kevin mc guckin was also walking a tightrope and lucky to stay on. but in a 3 point game i thought he was worth at least 4-5 points to the dubs. he only really gave us any decisions when there was 6 points in it and he thought the game was over but once it was back to 3 points he dam sure wasnt gonna let it get any closer. also he blew devlin up for over carrying in the first half after one bounce, a ludicrous decisionunfortunately i am not a neutral. i thought the ref was dreadful in the 1st half. the dubs who surrounded me actually laughed at some of his decisions against doire. why cant things be done fair!? doire scored 13 of the best points ive seen in a while and 2 from free's. why was a kerry man reffing anyway. sour grapes!?- perhaps. but at the end of the day i paid good honest money to watch a good honest match which was certainly ruined by some reffing decisions]

Will Hunting...

Dublin fans view as to why they are likely to win is that while yes they have Brogan/Keaney they also have Brogan/Vaughan which boosts our scoring power and Vaughan especially is proving deadly with frees/45's etc which we have been missing for the last few years....we then have the likes of Quinn/Bonnar etc now on the bench rather than starting....so we have a far stronger attack than last year....
Defensively we also are a bit stronger than last year with McConnell starting to get used to full back....

That Derry defence still struggled when Laois could kick high ball into the forwards which Dublin will do more of...

The view would be that Dublin have more scoring options than Derry, are more mobile around the middle of the field and liable to win more kick-outs etc and also Derry will not be used to the crowd/atmosphere whereas Dublin are...

you seem to be totally blinkered.  Is there any good footballer's on the derry team? who from the derry team would make the dublin team for example!?
