Kildress won by 5 and were well worth it, should probably have won by more. The rest of the teams left will obviously hope for the tones in the semi's but anything can happen in cship football! Didn't look like a championship game and very few at it, though don't understand why it was taken to loughmacrory. Very good pitch but no parking and the roads in and out of it are a joke.

Sure lets discard God from the Constitution, lets kick him out of the country altogether, give the Publicans free rein to increase their profits on Good Friday, abolish Christmas with its religious overtones, in fact lets turn our back completely on our heritage and history, for one thing is certain ,  we have shown ourselves to be unworthy of laying claim to any of these things.

I whole heartly back this post!!

So it's Catholic God-believers that you have a problem with? Should the Protestant God be removed from the Constitution as well or is that not him at all?

No I have a problem with them all, this was just an example of whats wrong with this country.

yeah that's right! It's the fact that god is included in the constitution that had led to state of the country presently!! Are you serious? Surely it has something to do with the banks, property developers or the clowns in the dail?! The catholic church may be rotten to the core in Ireland but I dint think god had any hand in it!

He has consistently spoke out on child abuse and had the courage to go on the Late Late Show when the rest of them hid out. Watever his failings, he did that and is to be applauded.

We need priests who will stand up and tell the truth of the past and cover NOTHING up, and are in the parishes to support their community through prayer, because to get out of this mess and to stop the church dying away we need to get rid of all priests or bishops who know or were involved in the abuse of children. The priests and the church in Ireland need to go back to the morals that they up held 40 years ago, but this time listen to the people of the community and not have priests put on a peti-stool whereby they can do no wrong. I'd advice anybody who cares about the church and who hasn't already done so to read the full letter from the pope. And anybody who says they won't go back to mass because of what went on, consider this.... The bishops and priests do not make up the church, it is us and it is up to us to continue to make the church stronger, by getting rid of the bad apples and continuing without them!

What have you got against Fr. Brian Darcy ?. Are you annoyed that he called for Cardinal Brady's resignation and that he had the moral courage to call it as he saw it unlike the rest ?.

No not at all, I do think that Cardinal Brady should resign, he can not lead the church in Ireland with this hanging over him, as I said anybody who had anything to do with the cover up must go. Though I do think that he is been made a bit of a scape goat. You have to remember that at that time everyone stayed hush about child abuse claims, priests, bishops, gardia and even the parishoners! That's why if the church is to reform in Ireland the parish priests must listen to the people in thier parishes and not dictate the decisions. Equally the priests need help at the minute, they are all been looked at as guilty by association. In regards to fr brian darcy I have no problems with him speeking out, but I just cannot accept a priest who writes for the Sunday world, the paper is based on lies!! The media has a serious problem with the catholic church, I know at the minute there are stories of child abuse and there right to report these, but think when's the last good news story printed or reported by the media on the church? I think Catholics in Ireland need to go back to their faith and understand the catholic teachings, at the same time embracing modern ways, but we don't need to take today's modern morals. (not taking the moral high ground, I include myself in this)

If you love the taste of Bud Light that much, you should try drinking water as an alternative. I've always found them pretty darn close.

Or Bud in general if you ask me

Any type of that American Budwiser is pure shite. Try the czech Budvar - lovely stuff altogether.

I drink beer because I like the taste of it, and it so happens I like the taste of bud light and unlike some of you other 'hard' men I don't look at a bottle of beer and go "ach weak shite, I'm not drinking that, that'll put no hairs on my ass"  anyway the moral of the story, I like bud light and because of British rule in the north (and trade agreements) I can't get it up here!
puckoon, were exactly is your local and what sort of deal is It?! I'm from Tyrone but wouldn't mind driving a bit, I be in the south a fair bit.

I know in the current trend i should be happy living in the north and getting my cheap miller, but does any of the southern lads on here no of anywhere (prefairably close to the border) I can get bud light for a decent price?!? See I normally go to America once a year and love the bud light over there and I can get it down south in bars but wanted to stock up on some over Christmas, any suggestions? Thanks

Green mile in the pertemps handicap hurdle (thursday)- wouldnt touch anything else on thursday but!!!

Thats the nicest jersey ive seen its a pity id get bottled up here for wearing it!!

Thats good i was under the impression yous mexicans didnt want us

I'm sure longshanks had very little to say on the partition of ireland saying he was 6 foot under at this stage!!! 

by the way Zulu i hope you weren't trying to make out that ulster starts north of cavan because in case you missed that day in geography then ill update you, ulster has 9 counties!! including cavan and since the GAA doesn't recognised ireland as divided then you need to let that whole north-south thing lie, were just one big happy GAA family divided into 4 provinces of course and then into 32 counties and then into clubs but were definitely all a happy family!!!!

I'm not getting excited about this AFS, just pointing out that at least 3 posters have already made NUIG favourites solely on the grounds that they beat UUJ, i.e. they don't know much about NUIG or the remaining teams in the Sigerson yet because NUIG beat UUJ they must now be the team to beat. That indicates both a lack of knowledge of football at this level and a presumption that the Ulster universities are clearly the best in the country, which they are not. It's a bit dismissive of the standard of football in other Universities is all and as someone who'd know a thing or two about it it's a bit annoying but I'm just pointing that out, you can take it or leave it.

Now it hardly shows a lack of knowledge of football since the poly were favourites to win the competition before today, and since NUIG beat the favourites then its a pretty good assumption that they should now be seen as the team to beat!! Also as either the poly or queens have been in the past 6 sigerson finals then i would go along with the idea that the Belfast university's (not ulster university's as the rest in ulster are tripe) are the best university's in the country in the past few years.
