more chance of Fermanagh winning Ulster or Wicklow winning Leinster, dream on

So should they give up? A very incisive comment sammy  - i can't understand the mentality of someone who reads this thread and thinks, i know what i'll write - and adds the comment you just made! Very interesting!

I love dreaming myself and I am used to it being from Fermanagh, but sometimes I get hit by the hard reality of life and today is one of those days

No one is suggesting that London can win Connacht, however with the line up of Roscommon and then Leitrim blocking their path to a Connacht Final, then they are entitled to dream. That's not being disrespectful to either of those counties, as it is far from a foregone conclusion that London could beat either of them, but given that in most years London would face either Galway or Mayo in either the first round or semi-final, then in 2010 at least, they are entitled to have a little dream / ambition - regardless of how improbable it may seem to most.

Fianna Fail's economic destruction of Ireland should be good for London football. Every cloud has a silver lining.

Word was James Reilly, all star nominee goalie from Cavan and Gerard Pierson also from Cavan were over in UK too. Are they not involved with London too?

I really wish you would stop using the term UK - its an explicit reminder to the 6 counties being part of the empire. Why not say Britain or preferably England. Sorry to pick on you Mtl but I see it far too often on this site & it is a term that does not sit well with many of us nationalists on here. Or am I the only one to think this?

When I see GAA men make reference to the UK in a GAA context it always reminds me of the
DUP sports minister's stance on the " international competition" aspect of the Sam Maguire!

I respect your point, but the word "Britain" doesn't sit easily with me and I'm not going to go down the road of saying "across the water". I won several titles while in London that are termed "All Britain" but I prefer to call them Provincials, which in theory at least, if not in value, they are. I guess we will all just have to read posts through squinted eyes and try and block out the offending words.

Just don't like it, that's all. It's an opinion, and as Clint Eastwood once said, "opinions are like a**eholes, everyone has one."

[Hardy]

Your business, of course, but it's a new one on me. What other words do you dislike?

I hate "sibling" and "overly".

Depends what London turn up on the day really, at this stage Ros would take them no bother alright, it's just a case of whether they can get their act together for the championship.

They've gone close against better teams before, they'll surely see the draw this year as an opportunity. But yes, they will definately have to improve further if they're to win.

London haven't a hope in hell of beating Roscommon. They haven't been able to get the best players over there to play for them. If they got them out they'd have a chance. But London is a nightmare for trying to get people together in the same spot for training because its so big.

London 610 sq. miles. and one tube.
Cork 2878 sq. miles. and full of tubes.

No wonder they always strike.
