Hey Cuzies , after the hammering we gave ye a couple weeks ago i took an interest in ye're match this weekend but the madness in ye're county is more craic altogether.

Rumour has it that Derry will have to tog out in an away strip tomorrow to avoid confusing all the loughgiel players ye are putting out or in fact ye are togging out in Loughgiel colours.

Ye're County secretaryFrancie Quinlan  appears to be going on a belated media war to try and save his backside. Its a bit tasteless as i heard he was too busy playing golf when ye're last manager  was under attack. Reading what i saw he knows nothing about loyalty it appears lads. Typical of most county secretaries only interested in looking after number one and not the bigger picture.

He seems very happy with Jim Nelsons performance though which should give ye great cause for optimism. Nelson seems to get a bit of fighting spirit going even if its only on the team bus between themselves  by all accounts.

I'd say ye will have some job trying to convince someone to take on the job with the in fighting and back stabbing. they call my city stab city but tis nothing compared to ye're back stabbing between supporters players and board. Sad lot/

Quinlan said ye are on the lookout for a team manager but id say ye need more of a childminder or something like that at this stage

keep the faith Cuzes and maybe the christy ring is a bit optimistic for ye at this stage. Let shamrocks eneter it instead maybe. cad a cheapan tu seomra/seomroga leithreas  as lathair

keep on hurling

SCOOTER  NUTTER

A few years ago I was driving along a main road when I saw something that made me go "What the f@@k" instantly.

There in the hard shoulder doing about 20mph was a guy on a yellow scooter. Whats strange about that say you all ? Nothing, except he had a knapsack on his back with a level, and a saw and few more tools in it. So what says you again. Well, add into that the fact that he had a wheelbarrow somehow strapped across his back also. Okay I thought maybe I am still asleep or something.

Amazing says you but hang on thats only the half of it. Somehow wedged between the wheelbarrow and his back was ........................ a f%%king ladder. The 8ft variety. Mother of god I thought to myself.

The worst thing of all was that it was the only time the f**king camera wasnt in the car.

It was the start of the downturn so I said christ the poor B£stard has had his 4X4 repossessed. Despite the complete lunacy of it all I had quite a bit of admiration for his desire to get to work. It was about 10.30 am so obviously the 4x4 was more suitable for many reasons.

Note sure if he's still alive. Saw him one more time after that but he's surely deceased by now.

Classic and not a word of a lie.

Welcome back the slice of ham

It was a sure  sign of the Celtic Tiger that on a trip home from Croker the guy in the back looked to stop and get a Panini . Before the boom no one knew of panini and most suspected he played midfield for Italy many moons ago. I'm sure he washed it down with a latte previously something you'd drive a nail through.

Gone are the damned panini and back is the ham sandwich with a flask of hot tea. There might be a squirt of mayo or a slice of cheese as a nod to our culinary advancements or maybe " Jamie Oliver cooks croker .........

The breakfast roll is a thing of the past also as is the yellow bib as rare now as a Sam Maguire medal in a\kilkenny sideboard 9thank god for some mercies).

The boots are now open after the match and the craic in ninety again.

Has anyone any more relics of the celtic tiger or staple GAA match diets ??

I bought a coriander plant two weeks ago and it died.

Hi. There are good counsellors etc.. but ye may be looking for wrong type of help or more importantly in the wrong place. Not all GP's are as helpful or as knowledgeable as they should be on areas like this. they dont see themselves as counsellors and may shy away from these problems. Some GP's on other had are excellent. Their main role is referral to correct specialists.  What i would recommend is a referral firstly to a psychologist and in particular one that specialises in areas of CBT. That is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Basically, that is learning to become aware of our conscious thoughts and how they impinge on our emotions. Basic counsellors may only be talk therapists. From what you say however I think the problem is very deep rooted and may need in patient care. If ye have private health insurance I would suggest a referral to St Patricks University Hospital in Dublin where there are fantastic courses designed for all sorts of anxieties, social phobias, depressions etc.. I would recommend that if its as deep seated as you say. It is a very relaxed and advanced setting. If i can be of\more help I can speak with you on my experiences. I am not a medic but someone who benefitted from this area.

Sorry cuz, not used to northern slang. What does wum mean ?

No one seems to disagree with my sentiments anyway lads  which is good.

It shows maybe ye are mature enough  to take criticism on the chin. I wasnt meaning to belittle ye but its no harm ye know yere limitations to be honest.

Anyway, we all love the game of hurling. I havent been able to play it since I fell off f&&&ing tractor three years ago now and lost a leg. I had to start from the bottom up and ye should do the same in the christy ring lads.

Best of luck in future endeavours.

Lar is a big streak of greyhound. Time to put an end to his ghosting runs.

I think limerick are in with a shout at last thank god

As a Limerick man I arrived at match saturday evening a few minutes late and the game was all but over at that stage. Some cretin had parked in a disabled spot and took me an age to get wheelchair out of car. As i said it was over when i got in.

In fairness lads the quality of ye're players isnt up to it and the lack of effort ?? What was the point of the manager introduciing new players to ye're panel and from his own club I understand too.

As the old saying goes you cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

Ye have to accept ye dont have the players or the commitment either. From reading the posts ye do be putting on here ye are impossible to please.  Jaysus Seomroga in Exille you'd want to chill out. Your like a man that thinks he knows it all with some inside track or whatever. Ye seem to be more interested in club matches which is fair enough.

Your man J Wallace  was down here in Limerick and all i can say from talking to the lads I know on the county scene is he really knows his stuff and is dedicated to the last. They'd have him back in the morning I have been told by several. . I think maybe he is a bit too professional for ye're set up just yet. If I was ye i wouldnt honestly question his input as i dont think he's a miracle worker. If ye're posts are anything to go by ye seem to do an amount of infighting like we used do for few years. Stop the bickering between ye're few senior clubs and work togetehr.

I know we havent won anything here in limerick since the league couple years ago so a bit like ye I probably shouldnt be throing stones either.

Just my thoughts and as someone said maybe the christy Ring is for ye !!!
