QuoteCouldn't understand how he got off after barging into Morrison the way he did.

He didn't 'get off'. He was suspended as a result.

Ignorance must be bliss.

Never heard a word of it.  Mind you it probably was buried somewhere in the death notices of the Evening Herald if reported on at all.

Thanks for that, StGalls, cos I never heard a word of it either. Maybe Heffo could furnish us with the details.!!

I'll get onto the sub-editors of all the broadsheets and get them to include you both in their text headline circulation list.

He was suspended for the first round championship game in 2007 v Meath as a result.

You were caught spoofing Gaffer, now would be a good time to stop digging

Caffrey wasn't my cup of tea, I reckon he was extremely flawed as a manager but no need for personal insults of the man. Says more about the poster than Caffrey really
Mayo for Sam! Just don't ask me for a year

His name is Paul Caffrey and he referred to himself as Paul. Mystery solved. Jesus some of you guys must have brought up watching videos of the 70's Dublin knocking the shite out of your county team when you were bold at school. Dublin on the brain isn't the word for it.
With respect, Indiana, he did not!
He referred to himself as Paul Caffrey and did so three times in the space of four sentences. IMO, that has to be a case of going OTT in any language.
Well, at least he didn't resort to using the royal "we!"
People who do this, I'm told are lacking in self-confidence or feel a bit put down. Anyone can do it , usually just a case of being facetious, but three times in four sentences indicates that Pillar was feeling outa sorts.
I'm not being critical from a football point of view; I guess he did his best both as a player and as a manager but this affected way of expresssing oneself does bug me.
It's nearly as annoying as a columnist who refers to himself as "the present writer" or someone who goes "bye, bye, bye" when hanging up the phone as if you're been done a favour by getting a few seconds of their precious time..

Spot on Lar. Why could he not have referred to himself as ' I' as people usually do.?  Anyway Moysider has more important things to be doing right now than this. I just got a text from a friend and Moysider's presence is urgently required in a pinting capacity. Moysider is looking forward to a few fast ones.
