i thought giggsy was some what fortunate to be nominated for player of the year,i would definitly have had vidic before him aswel as essien. i also would have thought that berbatov should have been nominated as hes been exceptional for spurs all season. i dont knopw how stevie g got nominated as hes been pretty poor by his standards throughout the season in the premiership.

gerrard certainly hasnt got me any dream team points anyway!

where was the game played?

Crossmaglen v Clan na Gael           clans. we had a good win in cross last year in the league down there. a repeat?

Culloville v Whitecross                  culloville

Harps v Mullaghbawn                   tough match. i expect the harps to win by a couple.

Pearse Og v Maghery                  Ogs to make a strong return to Division 1 and win by 5 or 6

Tir na nÓg v Dromintee               Dromintee to travel to the north and bring back all the points.

Crokes fury as McEntee plays on despite two yellows
Monday April 2nd 2007

REFEREE Eugene Murtagh is at the centre of a major controversy after failing to send off a player despite showing him two yellow cards in yesterday's All-Ireland Club Senior Football Championship final replay in Portlaoise.

Having already been shown the yellow card after 11 minutes, Crossmaglen Rangers centre-forward John McEntee saw yellow again on 54 minutes but was allowed to stay on the pitch to help the Ulster kingpins beat Kerry's Dr Crokes 0-13 to 1-5.

At the time of McEntee's second yellow, the teams were deadlocked - Crossmaglen 0-8, Dr Crokes 1-5.

Dr Crokes chairman Patrick O'Sullivan told the fourth official and a linesman about Murtagh's error, but neither relayed the information to the referee.

Intriguingly, McEntee, whose twin brother Tony also lined out for the Armagh champions, was withdrawn by Crossmaglen five minutes after his second booking and replaced by Stephen Clarke.

After the match, O'Sullivan said that he was very disappointed by the reactions of both the fourth official and the linesman to his representation about the referee's major error.

"The fourth official effectively said nothing and then I went to the linesman. He told me to go away and said I didn't know what I was talking about," claimed the Dr Crokes chairman.

"I stressed to the linesman that John McEntee was booked twice, but he argued it wasn't the case."

Dr Crokes manager Pat O'Shea, who is also in charge of the Kerry team, said: "I didn't realise that John McEntee was booked twice until I was told. Matches can turn on marginal decisions like this."

Despite the fact that Murtagh's error might well have cost Dr Crokes the match, the Killarney club won't be taking the issue any further.

"We had our chances out there on the pitch and we believe that it's out there that you should win your matches," stressed O'Sullivan.

And O'Shea remarked: "I certainly wouldn't be in favour of bringing this (the referee's error) up after the match is over.

"I've just been to the Crossmaglen dressing room and I complemented them on their victory."

After the match, reporters waited outside the referee's dressing room but, when Murtagh finally emerged, he walked away without uttering a word when asked if he had anything to say on the McEntee issue.

"Referees make mistakes in matches, but if we were to replay all of those type of matches we'd never get them finished," said Crossmaglen manager Donal Murtagh.

"I'm sure Crokes will admit we were the better team on the day and I don't think they'll be too sour about the fact that John (McEntee) wasn't sent off."

Quite worrying in that from outside the county perspective that our club is due to play them in a challenge pretty soon.
are they just complete dirt bags with one of the most cynical and cowardly thugs playin for them and the county or is it just me.
Mackin and Mc Keever were never even Cullyhanna's best players, i was made to believe that the O Hare boys were the real deal in that club only the eldast i think left them because of their antics, that right?

I haven't played against Cullyhanna in a few years, but the last time i did the O'Hare lads were def some of their better players. Has M Mackin got older brothers who play or played for them as well?
What pissed me off playing there was the car horns dooting every time they scored (which i have to say was usually less scores than ours )

the car horns are a f**king ballix. people drive their cars up onto the bank then wind the window down and get out. then when the opportunity arrives they lean into the car to doot the car horn! i dont understand it myself tbh

the O'Hare's were always the best players i saw playing for cullyhanna. Liam used to be a nightmare for defences on his day...

so whats the plan- is everybody doing a wait and see in the first few weeks of the season- no trades yet? Should we use that trading block tool on the yahoo site?

i'm happy with my lot at the minute. i'd like to see how they perform before i consider trades. i could do with a better outfield though i think

are you doing reports an all like the NFL AZ?

when does the league start then?

what's the difference in the two?

Johnnie Onion Rings
Skips Prawn Cocktail
Tudour Pickeld Onion
Minnies
Salt & Viniger big bag outta Lidel are hard to whack .

I've had this debate before, are there any other kind of Skips?

i think it was or is possible to buy a multipack of skips containing different flavoured packs. i'm open to correction though

how long does this draft think last for?

i cants kive off work all day....

or maybe i can!! 

i'd rather he didn't do that in all fairness - what happens if that team gets a lot of good players?

yeah i couldnt handle losing to an unmanaged team aswell

looking forward to watching this game tonight although i support neither team. i have a feeling that barca might just nick it with the return of Eto'o...

what do ya's think liverpools tactics will be? will crouch start up front as more of a target man to relieve pressure and hold it up as liverpool sit back? or will they push on from the start for another goal?
