Confirmed tonight according to RTE news.

And the injury stricken Arsenal continue with Marty Feldman injuring his knee on international duty. It will take several months for the new fitness coach to start effecting the players, but thats an awful start to the clubs year on injury front.

Cesc is going to tear a few new ones isn't he?

Ach, tis written in the stars. He'll score a goal, but not celebrate. A great result for Arsenal would be a draw, but have a feeling the pensioners will win by 2 or 3 clear goals.

Arsenal have changed medical teams and S&C teams yet still are getting injuries.

I have read about this German guy that Wenger brought in, as I have a keen interest in S+C etc. He is one of the most highly sought after, and to be fair to him, S+C programmes, and injury prevention measures don't just happen overnight. It takes several weeks and possibly months to see the improvements.

Was lucky to witness that goal. Some neck on the lad to even try it! Great skills.

Whitehall were well beaten by Jdes last night too, my kids were devo (or so they said!)

Tony Puliz gone from crystal palace, good news for you lads and the 1st game!

Any chance Donal Og could get his point across a bit quicker ?

He's from Cork. No

Get a room you 2.

2 obnoxious fools

It's hard to make out but is he fish-hooking him? Again, this is just a snapshot in time nd doesnt prove anything, Sunday game will be interesting.

Heard from a Dub today that Cluxton is not lining out for the seniors because of the mercenarys being brought in.
If they did win the championship, where is the glory in it?

Ive seen them play. Its not going to be an issue, trust me.

number 17 for the new'un. Supposed to be a great player.

My weeun is a gunner, and he says the deal for 2 players will be launched tomorrow with a new jersey deal. He knows his stuff, this wee lad

Back to the game and thread title. When the final whistle blew here I noticed a bit of mutisl respect among the players and along with the handshakes there were a few chats going on around the field.. That's what Laois need to earn more of and the only way they will do it is by putting in performances like Ross Munnelly and not by complaining. There was no calls to split Dublin into two teams for their hurlers a few years ago nor did Daly ask foe Kilkenny and Cork to be split, he embraced what they were doing and did it better - because the mutual respect his team have now earned allows him to engage with other counties where valuable challenge games are part of his plan.

HThe dedication and time that is put in by the Dublin hurlers is hard to comprehend and it has nothing to do with the size of the county or money, neither of which ever put a ball in ghe back of the net. Unless we want to go back to the days of playing in peaked caps we should be trying to copy the Dubs. Population didn't bother Uruguay who are as small as Ireland when they won the World Cup among many other achievements in the same competition but we have our hymn sheet up on its stand ready to sing "we are too small as a nation" as soon as a ball hits the net. Nobody is too small on this planet, weak from lack of motivation maybe but never too small.

That's a terrific post.

Dick threw a piece of cheese at Cavanagh. Sean turned around and shouted, "That's not very mature!"
