Replying To KingdomBoy1: "I see the mods are still a barrel of laughs on here, God forbid ye might lighten up and let a few fun posts through." Mods, can we put some more social distancing between us Dubs and Kingdomboy? Give him his own thread or something and he might self isolate there. :). No offence pal.

Replying To KillingFields: "Yeah what a childish response. It's one of the only forums I know of that pre moderates posts to this extent as well as used to have an actual closing time every day. You can moderate using far better methods than here while also using better software to host the web forum." I'm not taking the ps when I ask Wo uld you not get yourself a good book or maybe two or three good books ? Hilary Mantel's latest book The Mirror and The Light has just been published . It's the concluding book in a trilogy that started with Wolf Hall and continued with Bring up The Bodies . I'd recommend them highly . Books can take you away to other places and distance you for a while from reality . They're a far better distraction than Internet forums .

None taken jock, ah sure I haven't given any ye dubs a hard time in ages. This year will probably be the easiest the mods will have had it on here in a long time.

In not trying to be rude but get over yourself greengrass I dont see what's wrong with asking for the forum being far better than it Is right now. As right now its extremely limited and outdated. The interface is poor. It's so slow and doesnt encourage decent debate which is the point of rule discussion forum I've read bring up the bodies already. It was alright but wouldnt read others. Didnt think that much of it tbh. KillingFields (Limerick)** - Posts: 3496 - 19/03/2020 09:24:16 2274076 Link

In the general scheme of things Internet forums should come way down people's lists of priorities . Greengrass (Louth) - Posts: 6031 - 19/03/2020 11:54:40 2274083 Link

Got them through artist friends of mine but still not best of books IMO Think any forum of any kind in this time with the issues can be a release from the pressures and shouldnt be discouraged KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3496 - 19/03/2020 13:34:26 2274090 Link
Replying To Joxer: "Mods, can we put some more social distancing between us Dubs and Kingdomboy? Give him his own thread or something and he might self isolate there. :). No offence pal." Funny. I think I have a solution. If there is no All-Ireland this year may be Kerry could be awarded an honorary one. I'm worried of a melt down if they don't get one soon. Just poking you Kerry lads.

Not entirely sure what they thought closing the forum would achieve but I'm glad it's reopened. CavanAgain (Cavan) - Posts: 186 - 19/03/2020 14:37:12 2274094 Link
"Forum reopened due to demand" and then this becomes the most commented on thread with no new threads at all and hardly any comments on other threads. It would make you wonder where the demand was after all! PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 1902 - 19/03/2020 14:54:22 2274096 Link
Replying To PoolSturgeon: ""Forum reopened due to demand" and then this becomes the most commented on thread with no new threads at all and hardly any comments on other threads.

Can't believe they shut down the GAA the year that Joycey was going to bring Sam home. Dublin conspiracy obviously. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 19/03/2020 16:13:50 2274101 Link

Probably read it and emailed the author with his criticism and suggested possible improvements Breffni40 (Cavan) - Posts: 12116 - 19/03/2020 16:55:33 2274105 Link

Replying To Breffni39: "Probably read it and emailed the author with his criticism and suggested possible improvements" I'm smiling at your post Breffni. He had to think again before he remembered that he had read the first book in the trilogy after telling me had read the second one .

I heard it was the Dublin footballers with all their money got the forum shut down Breezy (Limerick) - Posts: 1236 - 19/03/2020 20:54:15 2274116 Link
Replying To festinog: "Can't believe they shut down the GAA the year that Joycey was going to bring Sam home. Dublin conspiracy obviously." As I said to Trump 'twas a double conspiracy against Western teams, who win a fair amount but are not ''big ones'- ourselves in hurling and ye Tribesmen in football..

Hopefully we'll all come out the other side of this one bud and then the gloves will really be off as the Jacks dive into the mix for six.

Just poking you Kerry lads." In fairness it would be worth more than some of the Sams they won in the past. :-) Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 19/03/2020 21:23:53 2274122 Link
Replying To Joxer: "Hopefully we'll all come out the other side of this one bud and then the gloves will really be off as the Jacks dive into the mix for six." I'm already planning my next attack dude :-) I just read Sean Kelly's article where he reckons 32 counties all in and an open draw first team drawn out gets home advantage with the first 16 defeated teams into the new tier 2 competition could you imagine Kerry v dublin in the first round in killarney, now that would be something to look forward to, dublin in tier 2 that is :-0 KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 19/03/2020 21:30:21 2274124 Link
