Kilbane is on the sauce to think that isn’t a handball.

Or maybe he knows the rules. If that was deliberate, teams should start blasting the ball against defenders arms when inside the box. Handy penalties

The ref gave a very similar one at the other end at the beginning of the half against Roma. Not a peep from Kilbane.

Kevin Kilbane and many others in the same role would do well to remember the job of the colour commentator isn’t to cheerlead for whatever British team is playing.

Did you have a wee look at the rules there before you lifted the shovel??  . Severely doubt the ref would have given it if the scoreline was a lot closer

..and yet he gave one at the other end with the score 2-0. He applied the rule exactly the same in both instances. Giving Milner a break because he was in the box would have been the cop out in this equation.

Trying to psychoanalyse a ref because he made a decision you didn’t like is a less than great hobby.

I know what else isn't a great hobby ye madman!

A real gear grinder. So that's both Sly Sports (who are dropping most of their exclusive qualifier games in pref of super and RTE going gung-ho with the Super 8 games. And it's only the start of things to come !

Some evenings entertainment. Superb 2nd half and 2nd half of extra time when the players showed serious bravery and heart. Good quick footpassing football with the ball sticking with the inside forwards. Young Kearney when introduced was excellent and he shipped some abuse. Downey is a rolls royce of a player. Did not see that result coming after the first half. A serious scalp
A fair few of those Monaghan lads over stepped the mark on numerous occasions.
Huge well done to the players and management team.

Get them all in a room and play the video. Whats the point in sending it to them? God knows 20/30 men will all draw different conclusions from watching the match back.

We used YouTube / unlisted and sent via WhatsApp the evening or day after the game. Allows men to watch and discuss with group, then watch as a group after the next training session when management could focus on certain aspects that need work etc. Great job but fairly time consuming at the same time

Towns that i have been in (or passed through) that I consider shitholes:
Portadown
Newry
Limavady
Coleraine
Newbuildings
Clough
Much of east Belfast
Newtownhamilton

Newry? WTF have you got against Newry?! Nice people, nice town centre, canal towpaths being done up...

Newry is one of these places where every road into and out of it is covered in litter. The canal is stinking! Banbridge is a nicer town.

+1 on limavady,was wondering how long it would take for a mention.

Limavady is an awful town, it’s more the sectarian element than anything else. f**kers have nothing better to do than paint roundabouts and put flags on anything that doesn’t move!

Have relatives down that direction. Have had many's a good night out in it, but i think the place has suffered badly in recent history with the council rehousing the dregs from the likes of Larne , Antrim etc (Id say a few schillings crossed a few palms ).
Serious pity about the roundabout on the way in from Derry, first impressions and all that. The same p***k (apparently lives a couple of hundred yards down the Magilligan Rd beside it) has painted it again, an awful sight and a pity for the decent folk in the town.

There must have been excitement aplenty today  in the Jim Mcguigan shield final ,Derry  and down went 27mins in the first half before the scoring got opened  (Down won after extra time )

Who is the Derry U17's  management team ?

Fabian Muldoon,Ronan Rocks,Jody Wilson and Aidy McLaughlin

Has a job as one of Chris Collins' puppets doing primary school coaching etc and is now somehow part of the u17 set up. Unreal

Whats 'unreal' about this?
Have a really tough task in their first game against what appears to be a really strong Monaghan team with Banty at the helm.
Is there a back door this year?

Going nowhere with men like that on board

 
I see absolutely no issue with Aidy being part of the u17 setup, a top man who's helped many's a club @ the drop of a hat. What are you doing Toby to help the cause?

Ok sorry, Aidy is the man for the job

that answer was hardly a surprise now

what;s that URL again? HAve you ever got NFL or MLB from them?

shootjerseys.cc
No but if they are as good quality as the soccer jerseys they will be fine.

I see on the website it says handwash only. Have you put them through machine wash? Do they survive OK?

Going to order the wee lad a strip. Great value.

says handwash only, though I accidentally put the boy's home strip through the wash (40 degree quick wash) by accident , no harm done

As you come in country from Ballycastle places like Mosside and Dervock would scare the f**k out ofnyiunif you didn’t know what was going on. Horrible places

What's so bad about them? Just curious, don't doubt they're dumps.

lets just say they wouldn't be very accommodating to people who like the Pope. There never has, nor never will be,  a GAA team in Dervock or Mosside

Big butcher's apron flying proud in the primary schools playground all year 'round

I heard that he had taken the homeless man in.  I was just interested to know how long it was going to be before he told everybody about it.  Same as the giving of the kidney.  People do that every day.  He wrote about it, did about fifteen newspaper and TV interviews about it, and three documentaries.  OK Joe - you have a charitable side.  We all know about it now.  Just leave us alone.

I find lines like this absolutely astounding, lives are being saved, and I'm sure the many people who have benefited (and their family and friends) from the campaigns and the promotion of the campaigns would disagree
