Not just tiredness, having your car heater at 27C rather than 21C reduces your reaction time by 50%.
2 screaming wains fighting in the back would not do your concentration much good either. There is more things than a couple of pints could contribute to an accident.

Having said that the French limit is 50mg. However 50mg is not a ban. It is a fine. A sliding scale of penalties based on your level is the way to go. Not sure what the alcohol levels equates to but something like:
1 pint = OK
1-2 pints £50 fine and 3 points
2-4 pints £500 and a year disqualification
4-5 pints a 5 year ban
>5 pints a bit of jail time and a lifetime ban.


Couldnt have it like that, me and you could drink 3 pints each and have completely different readings.

That is why I pleaded ignorance and said I did not know what the equivalent readings would be. It would be based on  blood alcohol levels not how many. I used those as an approximation.

Also remember him playing a ulster final against Monaghan 2007 and had a great match, he came of the bench against Mayo the same year and played well. 

His best position imo is half back and this is the main problem because seemly no matter how bad Philly or Davey play they will not be dropped
More a less what your saying is that micky only picks a team on loyalty if dermy was in better form in training he`d be picked  ahead of either two if their form was poor,the reason dermy looks good is because is on the attack  so much, i`d doubt his defensive capabilities.Imo sean oneill would be streets ahead of him,i`ve noticed since th cork game davey and philly have come in for severe criticism within tyrone u`d nearly think their was nobody else from tyrone playing that day.Maybe in the case of Philly he was playing with an injury that was that severe it could keep him out of action for 6mths.

Yet Joradan was still played!!!
The same faith wasn't shown to Sean Cavanagh.

Shiels was taken in the semi-final by Stephen O'Neill and in the quarter-final by Michael Murphy, as well as the final. A very lucky boyo to get one. I think it was an effort to mark Cork's good year up to the final, rather than Shiels own performance. I think most people would have had 13 of that team with Murphy and Griffin in for Goulding and Shiels.


Thought Shileds was extremely lucky indeed after being cleaned out in both those games.

Thought Murphy should have got one. But there you go.

+1 though with Murphy in for O'Neill and Gerard O'Neill in for Shields (now that positions mean nothing)

I half expected them to throw Dara O Se an all-star.

Glad to see Scanlon get it ahead of him, though Hughes should not have been far away.

Well deserved though his biggest rivals were in his own defense, Mike McCarthy and Tom O'Sullivan also immense.
I think the contrast from last years panto villain to this years Mr Consistent stood to him.

Prelimin:  cavan gaels V St Galls in Breffni (18 oct) V Armagh winners in QF in armagh


Quarter Final - 1/11/09

1 armagh winners v cavan gaels/st galls in armagh
2 Clontibret V Dromore/Ardboe  in Clones
3 Loup v Derrygonnelly in celtic park
4kilcoo V st eunans in Newry

semis

1 v 2
3 v 4

Despite a lot of the big guns going out the Tyrone champions will still have it all to do. 2 weeks to get ready for Clontibret who have had a couple of weeks to celebrate and recover and then probably St Gall's in the Semi if they don't slip up to Cavan Gaels. I am discounting the Armagh champions  :P as there will be a lot of celebrating in the City after such a wait.
The other Semi should be Loup v St Eunan's.

Dromore v St Gall's!!! Thaat woul be some game*. How many headers would that be on the field at one time? ::) ;D

Did anyone notice poor ricey getting a bit of a going over by plunket mc callen after snowy scored his 1st goal? I think it's at the end of the first video on jerome quinns website.
yeah, noticed that at the time too, and he got booked for it! :D
think his reputation got him in bother there!
Looking at the video it appears that Ricey followed in on top of Oz to give a few verbals after the goal and got all he deserved.

3 Narrow Wins For Ardboe

3 Games to Reach the Final (All Conveniently Played in Pomeroy)

3 Kind Referees

Someone in the powers that be really wants the Loughshore Side to win a Championship.

Now in terms of conspiracy theories that is a stretch.

3 Narrow Wins For Ardboe & 3 Kind Referees?
Ardboes last 2 scores against Killyclogher came from Killyclogher errors rather than a kind referee handing it to them.
Omaghs biggest downfall was the decision to try to run the ball through Ardboe. Ardboe took advantage of a poor referee but when Omagh stopped playing direct ball into their full forward line they lost all cutting edge.

3 Games to Reach the Final (All Conveniently Played in Pomeroy)?
All teams play 3 games to reach the final (barring draws). Pomeroy is a half way point for Omagh & Killyclogher. Carrickmore much closer to Omagh than the Loughshore. Moy game could have been played in Dungannon but that would be even closer to the Loughshore. Now if the final was fixed for Pomeroy ;)

There was never going to be an agreed candidate after the PG affair. Maybe the County board had the foresight to realise there was only one way to unite the County!

I cannot wait.
First game could be fairly high scoring. Killyclogher racked up a big score against Galbally but conceded a lot to a much less potent line than  Ardboe can boast.
The second game will be much lower scoring. It will be interesting to see who picks up McCullagh and where Gormley plays. McCullagh was  heavily involved in both goals against Errigal and that was ultimately the difference between the teams.
Gormley could push forward more to give a bit of support to a fairly lightweight Carmen attack.

Hughes in Dungannon have it the otherway with Carrickmore 4/6 and Dromore 6/4. I nterestingly if you put Money on Dromore to reach the final outright with Hughes and Carmen to reach the final outright with Paddypower, you cant lose! Someone has got it wrong somewhere.

Barring a draw it is a gauranteed 25% return on your investment. Ker-ching. :o
