when is the draw?

minus 8 temperatures (minus 15 with the wind chill)  - in the middle of the fecking day

Fighting is part of the game of ice hockey

1. You spend all winter on the beer speculating on who will be  brought in to manage the team next year.
2. The hardest tackle you will make all year is in an indoor soccer match in January.
3. When you break your brother-in-law's leg.
4. There are 35 at training under lights on a bitter February night (unfit but enthusiastic) - the average for August is 7 (the rest are either unfit, sick of training, repeating exams, in the US or  making silage)
5. When you go for a pick-up, you fumble the ball at least twice before you just kick it.
6. The full forward has his son and nephew in the corners.
7. The nephew is two years older.
8. For a 2.30 throw-in, you start packing your gearbag at 2.40 and still manage to be on the field before the referee even arrives.
9. You can get a match called off because your star player is playing for the County under-16's the following week.
10. Your tight marking corner back never gives an inch - except of course, when the ball gets inside his own 50 and he charges out after it with all the other backs, forgetting that the other team are even on the field.
11. Your goalie lets in a sitter every second game - this usually happens after you have scored 5 points from play to reel in a difficult half-time deficit.
12. Or in the first minute if it is a final.
13. Your full-forward can't score but "he's a good man to bust up the play".
14. Your centre-forward can't score either but "he'll stop a good man from playing".
15. Your championship is either a round robin that requires you to play six league games to eliminate one team, or a knockout starting in October.
16. Your no 8 cant catch the ball and is only there because he is the tallest lad in the parish.
17. Any members of your panel who claim to have back injuries are either lazy or completely daft. Unless you can see blood, bruises or bandages, they are making it up.
18. Before every match, the forwards are told to stay wide and not bunch - but this is not what happens. The only time any forward goes  wide is if they are looking for water.
19. Your backs play from behind punching with one hand while resting the other on the forward's back - this is why all your scores and all their scores come from frees.
20. A pint after mass is the usual warm up for a game.
21. You can't field a team during the June because of Leaving & Junior Cert. exams
22. Your left-corner-back plays at No.4 because he is one of only 2 people who can kick with their left foot.
23. Ditto No.7.
24. After every away match you cant wait till next year "to get them bastards down to our pitch and give them a kickin'"
25. Your star player always has one other brother "that was even better but he couldn't stay off the drink".

hope you've made your FF picks

Early start this week as it's Thanksgiving down south tomorrow - and as is tradition, there are games on

Yep. Notice that doesn't apply to kick-outs so the keeper could dribble the whole way up the field so long as he doesn't take it into his hands (I wouldn't fancy his chances of getting very far).

It doesn't just apply to the keeper - it also applies to a defender if he's kicking it out

4.22 To play the ball again after taking a free kick / penalty / sideline kick before another player has touched it, unless the ball rebounds off the goal-posts/crossbar.

PENALTY FOR THE ABOVE FOULS - (i) Cancel free kick or side-line kick. (ii) Throw in the ball where the foul occurred except as provided under Exception (v) of Rule 2.2.

I don't think it is a double bounce as he did not touch the ball with his hands after the second bounce.

The Idiot Squad and the Shamrocks both win again this week.

Looks like Turk got to see a good game - the Rangers won 4-1 and Jarmoir Jagr scored his 600th career goal in the game - only th 16th in history to do so

[The Fermanagh side have decided not to take the matter any further.]

Enniskillen Gaels' appeal relating to an Errigal Ciaran player who was booked twice but allowed to stay on was rejected on Saturday.
Damien McDermott was shown a yellow card on two occasions in last Sunday's Ulster club quarter-final but referee Gregory Walsh did not send him off.

The Fermanagh side have decided not to take the matter any further.

Errigal won the game by a single point and will now play Ballinderry on Sunday at Casement Park in Belfast.

Don't life bans get over-turned at the end of every decade?
