Re: Offaly vs Tipperary SHC Qualifier Phase 3 17/07/2010

TT25 - give up the attempted sarcasm. You're very bad at it, and are serving to reinforce the image previously posted by others above. On second thoughts - keep it up. We're happiest when we dont like you lot. ---------------------------- Anyone get a clear view on the latest Umpiring Cockup? I thou...

Re: A hundred years ago . . .

Anyone know who wrote the rhyme below? I remember it from primary school. It seems neither town was held in very high regard. "Great bog of Allen, swallow down That odious heap call'd Philipstown, And if thy maw can swallow more Pray take - and welcome - Tullamore. According to the website of ...

Re: A hundred years ago . . .

Daingean was originally named Philipstown in 1556 when it was established as the county town in the land that was planted by Queen Mary Tudor in the newly-shired King’s County. The town and the county was so named after her husband, Philip II of Spain, King consort of Ireland. The town was once the...

Re: Offaly vs. Meath - Leinster MFC

Re: Offaly Vs Meath this sunday

I really do not want to be picking on individual player's performances or efforts at playing the game. I fully respect these guys are amateurs and anyone can have an off-day (I probably never had an ON-day when playing myself) . So Niall Darby's problems should have been relieved from his responsibi...

Re: Offaly Vs Meath this sunday

Like leinsterman, my young lads game ran late so I didn't make it down either. I considered a late dash to catch the second half. Glad I didn't as I would have missed the only good play we did. Random thoughts in no particular order: * I will do that Golf Course short cut again if it gives me a chan...

Jeez, the accuracy of that YouTube thingey is uncanny. How did it know my shotgun looked just like that.

Re: Offaly Vs Meath this sunday

Because my son's Hurling Team is playing a match at 12 noon on Sunday, and it's bound to run late, I know I'll be racing to get to this in Portlaoise on time, if at all. And I reckon most of the Royals will be coming down the Dublin Road from the same direction as myself. :? Soooooooo ....... Anyone...

Re: Public information message - Time to wash the jersies.

What's Sean Óg O'hAilpín doing with that test-tube? I thought he worked for a Bank. Trying on the jersey after almost a year is also a sobering reminder of just how much weight you've obviously put on in the meantime. But since the jersey still looks as good as new (having only worn it a few times i...

Re: Laochra Gael – Na Comhlintí, Déardaoin, 8ín ar TG4

I had forgotten how many goals Kerry "threw" into the net in 1980. Looking back on them now, those types of goals really were pathetic and were an indictment to whoever brought in that rule in the first place. It's good that Offaly relied on authentic genuine quality goals. :wink: Also int...

Phew! This had me worried for a minute

(Heads Up - this is not really of a Sporting Nature, but then we've broadened our horizons a few times before) There was me worried for a minute that our National Theatre had got so desperate for events that they were venturing almost into "Pure Mule" territory. But when I saw mention of ...
