Ruining the once socialist British Labour Party.
Was that the party that lost four elections in a row ?

Effectively the English League is our top soccer league. Just about every good Irish player in my memory has spent some or all of their career in England and an All time Irish soccer team would probably have 11 players who spent most of their career in England.

If you like soccer and want to follow the best Irish players then English teams are your only option.

Most consistent team over the last 30 years, how on Earth did he come to that conclusion?

He didn't say "Most consistent team" he said "they are probably, over the last 30 years, one of the most consistent teams".
"Probably" and "one of" is fairly vague and meaningless.

The Yankees have pushed the panic button big-time.

Bringing Clemens back again for half a season at $28 million. Its a joke

Can't blame them with the amount of injuries their pitchers have had.

Finally some good luck for my pitchers. I gambled picking Clemens, not knowing if he would pitch at all this season. I picked up Phil Hughes on waivers and he got injured 2/3 of the way through a no hitter.

You have 3 lights down stairs and 3 switches up stairs how do you know which switch is for which light with only going downstairs once to check?
And no you can't see the lights from upstairs

Turn on switch 1
Wait a few minutes
Turn off switch 1, turn on switch 2
Go downstairs
The light that is on is attached to switch 2
The light that is off and warm is attached to switch 1
The light that is off and cold is attached to switch 3

Between them Liverpool and Milan have 11 European Cup/Champions League wins, the biggest ever combined total for a pair of finalists.

If the meeting in the billiard-room of Miss Hayes's Commercial Hotel in Thurles hadn't taken place then none of these other events that you are complaining about would have happened :)

That hammering puts Ireland at the bottom of the table on net run rate. If the West Indies hammer Bangladesh tomorrow that might drop Bangladesh to the bottom again.

lads its simple as, should we be fair to the players who train all year and give the a fair crack of the whip

Yes we should and a neutral venue achieves that.

the capacity at MacCumhaill Park is around 18,500.

The attendance at Clones would have been much higher than this. Thousands of people will be denied the opportunity to watch a Championship game in person.

ALL IRELAND SENIOR AND MINOR FOOTBALL FINALS

So does this mean we are back to the traditional third Sunday in September for the football final? I thought that 2006 was a one off for the Ryder Cup.
