Sammy the knight in shining armour out defending Emma.

Tyrone attacking and defending better. Roscommon look like the team with the 6 week lay off. That two pointer before the break could prove to be a big score. Half-time Roscommon 1-9 Tyrone 2-11.

Messy score to give away from comfortable possession,  has happened a few times.  Tyrone getting shots off with very little pressure, we need to find another couple of gears this half.

The Kodos and Kang election episode in The Simpsons goes a long way to explaining it doesn't matter who you vote for, the outcomes are decided anyway beyond politics. 

Living on scraps, be lucky not to let this get out of reach.

Just like heaven.

Close to you.
I wonder do they look at Friday I'm in love the same as REM think about Shiny happy people. 

Daire Cregg red card a bit of a balls.

Let's make lots of money.
It's not that I ever had that much faith in politics or anything,  and used to read political statements based on modal verbs and non-committment/ cop out words, but the new style of bombastic proclamations and crude insults as a protocol is just depressing- Matty Shanks being a devotee on this island.  I'd love to be back as innocent, gormless me.

Michael Lyster. RIP to a legend.

Ah, that's sad.  Always seemed such a genuinely sound, decent man.  RIP.

One of my favourite shows when growing up. Have been afraid to return to it as not sure how well it would have aged. But an absolute classic for me.

It was a gem alright, Rimmer probably my favourite comedy character.  I look at clips or episodes now and then on youtube.  In a sense you could say it hasn't aged well, but that's the beauty of shows like that- it's nice to step back to that time and mindset rather than try to carry it forward.  Now and then, I make up random Space Core Directives in class or conversations- very, very few ever get them, but I'm well past the confusion or the funny looks or the riiiights!!

Rob Grant, Red Dwarf co-creator.  RIP.

I'd love to see a stat about teams building 8 or 9 or 10 point leads, and getting reeled back in.  We could very easily have been turned over Sunday, and was thinking afterwards if we hadn't the wind in the first half, the game could have been so different.
The wind makes the game a bit like cricket, having to chase a target.  Saturday in Salthill could go either way, but the wind will be a huge factor. 

Think there were 25 or 26 seconds left when we got the last score.

28 by the clock in the ground which allows the keeper to not have to take the kick out before the hooter.

Daft rule!

One of many.  Like why is it a 20m free if you accidentally cause a 3 v 3 breach but a free on half way if you do it intending to get to win a ball?

On that point, if you haven't possession and you're 2/ 3 points up with under a minute to go, if your 3 up front charge back anyway,  couldn't you kill the game that way?

Could be a long 2nd half yet.  A blistering start, but breeze picking up.  Can't afford to give away goals, Armagh will get at least 5 two pointers.

He stays relevant not because many people read him because they find him interesting or illuminating,  or even entertaining,  but to wind themselves up and prove their point to themselves that he is a p***k.  Perversely, that keeps him relevant,  and when you apply that across the board in media, it ensures a depressingly high proportion of low standards.
