What happened the Ricey thread?

Mockba where's your crayons?

Naturally the colder the Guinness then the more it dulls the taste. Which is why extra cold is popular among people who may not otherwise be a huge fan of the Guinness taste (including me).

Ok, glad we clarified that.

[UUJ are now attracting most of the top gaelic footballers in Ulster because of the sports, physiotherapy, engineering, accounting,business and marketing courses]

Lads a Sigerson winning team just doesn't happen in one year.  It's normally made up of players in their final year of study with fair number of post grads. This gives the team an edge physically.  It also means that the team has been playing as a unit for a  number of years. You also have to look at the previous year's performance and the number of players that have graduated.  Queens only beat NUIG last year by a point ,So NUIG  always had a good team and they have added a few players even from GMIT. UUJ have lost Mark Lynch,Peter Donnelly, Karl Lacey, Paddy Cunningham, Brendan Mc Kenna, Paul Mc Guigan, Andy Moran, Michael Mc Alister, Karl Lacy, and Charlie Harrison. Nearly thier entire team. With Damian Mc Caul and Colm Murney injured, the Crossmaglen lads missing and Niall Mc Keever suspended they were never going to win this year's Sigerson.  Anyone watching Sigerson carefully,would never have installed them as favourites and when Queens where  well beaten by DCU in the Ryan Cup the writing was on the wall never mind the Mc Kenna Cup. They and thier management had themselves talked in  agood team.  UUJ are a very young side and do not lose many players and will probably be a force to contend with next year. UUJ are now attracting most of the top gaelic footballers in Ulster because of the sports, physiotherapy, engineering, accounting,business and marketing courses, world class  facilities and a 1st class management and administration system in place especially with Adrian Mc Guckin and Barney Mc Aleenan.  Queens are losing most of their team and will be at the rebuilding stage.  Anyone of the four remaining teams are capable of winning it this year.

Don't forget colouring in!

A grown man swearing aggressively at children, for who he has a duty of care towards, is child abuse and you think theres nothing wrong with it.

[didnt see much wrong with it really myself]

If that was his da - and i think he was coaching him at the time - then its not hard to se why there'd be a bit lacking

His da wasn't coaching him at the time, fergal reel (if memory serves) was coaching him in the minors at the time, they went to the final and Ciaran missed it due to his injury.  Fergal Reel is the same man he wouldnt play for for the last two years. 

Ciaran's da, Pat, was coaching the under 16s during the documentary and became famous for all the cursing, roaring and shouting.  (didnt see much wrong with it really myself but there was talk about it at the time - from outside the club)

Pints condones child abuse...

Walk in the park lads and helping the goal difference as well (not that it will matter) Can anyone beat this winning machine?

Defintately not! I think my bet is as safe as house as well.

[Clean sheet my hole]

Clean sheet my hole - they'll concede 10 more.

I'll do nothing of the sort!

I just got my local bookie to give me 250-1 on it! Threw £20 on.

Will come in handy for the summer!

Did he come back? When?

Evens...



I think I'll take my 100-1 with Paddypower thank-you very much.

Exaclty, its a done deal!

What odds are giving me on your £100?

Just a fella in work told me, I think it is a bit underpriced but bets like that usually are I suppose. But it looks almost as good as done.

Edit: Paddypower he thinks.

I think hating Utd must be what its like to support a really shit team.

Every game brings new hope and anticipation. You get through the first half having put up a great fight and its 0-0. You begin to start thinking, if only we can hold on you never know.

Then slowly but surely theres an air of inevitability about the whole thing, you go 1-0 down and you search frantically for someone or something to blame for the goal, if only the keeper had have claimed it or the defender cleared it or the referee shouldn't have given that earlier free up the field.

After which you don't allow yourself to even dream of an equaliser, you accept defeat and probably don't even watch the last 15-20 minutes.

All of which makes for a depressing evenings viewing.
