RE: GAA Thread

I don't think it'll be quite that easy, but, duly noted

RE: GAA Thread

Anyone want to predict the score for the final next week?

My local "Guess the Score" is currently at €659 (as of Thursday night) and I could really do with a share of that

I'll even buy you a drink if your score wins it for me

RE: Best 80's movie EVER!!

Oh, and just to keep it on track, I don't remember the name of the movie, but I always remember the line "Number 5's alive!!!!"

The decades seem to morph into one another.....was Broadcast News the 80's or 90's?

RE: Best 80's movie EVER!!

Hey you

I haven't watched the movie you speak of, but I have lived through the leg warmers.....funny hairstyles....

What's your experience with "Freeflix"? I could have done with your techy knowledge earlier tonight

RE: Is he / she interested or not?

I really don't think God has anything to do with the zing

RE: Is he / she interested or not?

I think you have described "zing" perfectly

An earlier post you made was good too, but I can't double quote (somebody taught me once, but I forget )

Just to add though, zing doesn't need permanency, or even regularity, it just "is"

RE: GAA Thread

Hey you

I've just been chatting to someone about this.....we didn't get the "classic" we were promised, we didn't get the "annihilation" some (Stan!!) predicted, we didn't (technically) get the Mayo victory that I predicted, but what we did get was a Mayo team that believed in themselves for the first time in a very, very long time.

They destroyed us in 2013, through sheer determination and revenge, but this is the first time I have ever seen them come back from certain defeat. The final 10 minutes were a pleasure to watch, compared the previous 60 minutes which caused me to grab 40 winks

I'm not anti Dublin, I'm not pro Mayo, I just crave a decent, competitive game of football. I don't know how the replay will shape up, I still believe Mayo will win, I just don't know in what fashion

GAA overload next weekend

RE: What's in your mind part 28

I'm slightly late in offering you encouragement, but I'll do it anyway

I always used to travel Ireland on my own, and met some amazing people that I still have as good friends many years later.
Then I started travelling abroad on my own, and again, I have met people that have become life long friends.

Travelling is all about perspective, or even frame of mind....if you head out thinking "I'm on my own", you will more than likely end up that way.
If you head out thinking "I'm going to meet new people", you will do exactly that.

Anyhoooooo.....have an absolute blast in Galway
I am so sorry that I am not there right now, I can even hear the music coming out from The Quays

RE: What's in your mind part 28

All quiet on the CS front

RE: GAA Thread

Hey lads

Just passing through, as usual, but would love your thoughts on the whole "toss of a coin" debacle in the camogie

The best quote I saw all day was "sure why not go all out and give it the best of 3 in Rock, Paper, Scissors?"

I'm speechless, but at the same time, could write for hours on this!!

I have seen multiple episodes of "degradation" towards female teams, but this beats them all.....

Thoughts please, and I promise to come back to discuss

RE: What's in your mind part 28

It's 1.30am
I have to be out of bed at 7.00am
But, do ya know what?........
It's a lalalalalalalong weekend

RE: GAA Thread

Stan, Moc, JT

Going back many's a year, my favourite was the 'auld fella dragging his heel across the turf and telling the "wee cub", cross that line and I'll break your legs!!! I fear for our game, I really do

Far be it for me to condone violence, but, it is a contact sport. Last Sunday, I was screaming at Donegal to "put him out". Where has the "fair shoulder" gone? It's now down to a scientific equation. Our game is losing it's passion. Yes, I know you will all come back at me quoting this game and that game, but those games are now the exception, not the rule.

I will leave you with this memory and you can take your own conclusions from it (and believe me, I could leave you with a lot more from my own county!!), Westmeath V Meath, second half.......

RE: " The Where are the Canadians Thread?"

My heart is in BC and my dog is in Alberta.....does that count?

RE: GAA Thread

I'm sorry Witty, but it just shows how bad Derry are when they couldn't even beat an atrocious Donegal yesterday

I'm delighted for Wexford, let's hope Westmeath and Kildare believe in themselves today and give us another couple of good games......I need something after yesterday!!

RE: All Welcome Song Thread!!

This is the last one, I promise!
I've always loved this song, it was once my party piece, but to hear these two singing it together is something special. I have a memory of a "surprise" appearance, where Joel was starting to sing the song and Elton John walked onstage? I've been searching for the video (that I see in my mind!) for over a year now, to no avail.....maybe it was all a dream

RE: All Welcome Song Thread!!

It's all in the finger click

RE: All Welcome Song Thread!!

The simple ones are often the best ones

RE: Stanley8m

I've just had a thought.....you're not a paleface, you're a lilywhite

I'm just going to throw some words out there, take what you will from it....

Argumentative, articulate, stubborn, loyal, passionate, determined, dedicated, stubborn (did I say that already?), elusive, patriotic.

That'll do for now

RE: All Welcome Song Thread!!

RE: GAA Thread

Hey buddy

I'm shocked and delighted about our result on Sunday. I cannot believe how bad Armagh were, they just didn't want to play. Who is 8 points down and decides to play the blanket defence??? Madness!

I thought our first half display was one of, if not, the best displays of football by any Donegal team. They were in total sync with each other, so fluid, total awareness of what was going on, who was where and what was going to happen next. Loved it

No shocks all weekend, and looking at the qualifier draw, there won't be any next weekend either

Now, if only Fermanagh would beat Monaghan for me

RE: More songs thread

I've heard this tune on the radio, but tonight was the first time I saw the video. I've watched it twice now....is it just me, or does anyone else find it "disturbing"?

RE: Post a snog thread #1 :P

I don't know Kelly (the mother) but I'm sure Sharon has told her

RE: Post a snog thread #1 :P

I'll get all the lubrication I need before the game tomorrow

Issues? LOL, you don't know how apt that description is, but it has nothing to do with the legacy behind her name

RE: Post a snog thread #1 :P

It's ok, his niece now has the same name as my dog

RE: Post a snog thread #1 :P

Each and every one of them......my boys

I even named my dog after one of them. Much to my embarrassment, both he and his mother, have been given this bit of information

RE: Post a snog thread #1 :P

I wouldn't dare to hijack a thread

....but, seeing as you suggested it, I'll post a snog for Karl Lacey, Frank McGlynn, Neil McGee and big Neil Gallagher

RE: Post a snog thread #1 :P

Does it have to be a snog? Can I post hugs instead?

One for each of my best buddies,

RE: GAA Thread

OK, can't argue with that

I can't remember who said it, but one of the Tyrone players said, and I'm paraphrasing here, "If Dublin had to go up to Ballybofey, like we did, they wouldn't have it so easy"

RE: GAA Thread

Hey Stan

I just logged on to say well done on the win tonight. All roads lead to Armagh tomorrow, not sure how I feel about that, we'll see in the morning.

I'm not going to get into your "anti Dub" campaign , but, the easiest way to open up the Leinster championship is to put the Dubs on the road.

RE: What's more important to you: pretty face or hot body

Kaybee!!!! Don't rush me, let me work my magic and then we (of course I have to be there) will appear in your midst
