Its too expensive, you could go on a weeks holiday for the amount of money oxegen costs, so for that reason im not going.

I was going home to Derry from Dublin up the M1 2 fridays ago, when i got to the tolls, i went to the coin machine to throw in my €1.90, the car infront was taking ages, she threw in some coin and it wouldn't let her through, i tried telling her the coin return is at the bottom, i then seen her get out a 5er on a very windy day, she tried throwing it into the coin machine, and it just blew down the motorway. She then got out of her car and asked me for €2, i thought ok, il just get her change from her first attempt, got up to the machine and seen she had threw in some foreign coin that looked like a €2.

Just thought i would share this story about how stupid some people are

I was at the game, it was a very intense match, there was some great tackling and big hits going in, most of the players were out on their feet in the last 5 minutes due to the level of effort they put in. This was of course overshadowed by about 8 or 9 off the ball incidents.

I am an Armagh man and have not been pleased with everything Armagh have done over the years before you say it. Yesterday's game was a disgrace for the GAA and the book should be thrown at both teams. As regards the Derry N. 6, McGoldrick....as the ball was being thrown in to start the game he reached round the Monaghan No. 11, Finlay and punched him hard in the face in an unprovoked attack. This looked to me as something that was preplanned and doesn't look well for Cassidy

Would you ever give it a rest about Barry McGoldrick, he is definitely not a dirty player and was far from the most offending player with regards to fouls on the pitch yesterday.

The one were he is in ireland is hilarious, he keeps refering to the wild terrain, miles from civilisation. Also pulls a dead sheep out of a bog, cuts the skin off it with head attached, turns it inside out and sleeps in it.

I found it quite an unfair process, i had an old fashioned professor as my supervisor who lectured back in the day when students actually enjoyed studying their subjects, he would make me do everything myself, as he should of. Other students would get their supervisors to do half of their project, it used to really piss me off!

As stressful as they can be, they have to be looked on as handy marks that you probably wouldnt score in an exam

Dont be coming back with swine flu if you visit Tijuana

Ive passed them all 

I wonder how i was ever a fan of moyles when i hear him now, have i just got older or has he got crap? I remember my mum used to give off in the morning when i was listening to him before school but i thought he was good. Now i think he is an absolute p***k.

So what did Stuart do??

He was an awful aul bollux to Penny one night then hugged her the next mroning but gave the wink to someone while he was hugging her. Fierce stuff anything. Davina went buck mad.

Christ I can't believe I'm so f**king sad that I remember that.

This was also the first thing i thought of when i seen this thread

I've a masters in maths 

If you haven't watched the inbetweeners yet i would advise you to start, think its hilarious, and im not easy pleased when it comes to comedies

[For me unless watching your county, watching the average NFL clash except the top teams can be equally boring]

Soccer IS boring.

I dont mind the latter stages of the champions league or maybe the knockout stages at the World Cup. But watching your average mid-table clash? Away te f**k. For me unless watching your county, watching the average NFL clash except the top teams can be equally boring

Most importantly, lacks the HONESTY (in every sense) of its lesser paid counterparts, GAA and rugby. GAA and Rugby has it primadonnas, in general you are not going to be a top level athlete unless you have the commitment and honesty to get to the top. Sure there is a bit of diving, but there is plenty of cheating in the GAA, why is a dive anymore of a cheat than a corner back pulling someones jersey, or the umpire at the local club match waving a tight call of a point wide when it is a score, or Aidan O'Mahony last year etc etc..

Lasts 90 MINUTES (or more!) and has LESS SCORES. This means a score means much more and gives a greater 'buzz'

There are THOUSANDS of games every season so games live short in the memory. Usually you would only be a fan of one team in a certain division so i dont see the problem of thousands of games, this just indicates the world wide popularity of the sport

The game is ridden with divers, cheats and mediocre players on OBSCENE money. Believe me there is no mediocre players in the premiership, its basic economics is the reason they are so high paid, Demand and supply, very few players can play at that level and everybody wants to see them, this equals big wages, same in any line of work. The best player in your local town probably wouldnt have a chance at getting near a premier league team the level is that high. We all think GAA players are extremely talented, if the whole world played gaa the last 120 years, the likely hood is sean cavanagh for example would be rated as highly as robbie keane in the world game, robbie keane prob wouldnt be in the best 100 players in the world

Conversely, the game is a RIP-OFF to supporters (tickets, shirts, etc). This is only true at the very highest level were everyone wants to see games, hence the high prices.

Many players have little LOYALTY to clubs, fans, managers, whatever part of the world they're in or each other. This is true, though plenty of players do have loyalty.

The owners of the clubs have no LOYALTY and being a soccer man is a low priority.Again only at the very highest level this could be true.

In no other sport are there so many OBNOXIOUS fans, i.e. the game is quite frankly ridden with SCUM I agree they could learn from the gaa here

In summary, the game has little RESPECT and as such is not deserving of RESPECT. In this day and age it functions primarily as a business anyway. Money > Entertainment > Loyalty. In my eyes the money just adds to the prestige of the game, the coverage and hype of say a champions league final or world cup final makes it an unbelieveable stage for a footballer, imagine a billion people watching you play.

A giant con of a sport.Agreed

Tripe.

If there was a soccer section, i am convinced it would get more views/replies than the hurling section.
