Replying To Seniorleague:  "Thought you were a fan of class,grace, and modesty?"
Would you be condoning the throwing of GPS's at players or what is it you're actually spluttering about?

I just thought your post was a wee bit snide considering you were advocating class grace and modesty just now.

Sorry for any hurt feelings.

Replying To Square_B:  "A Kilkenny man on a football thread, well isn't that ironic."
Kilkenny has 3 senior football provincial titles in a province of 12 counties.

Please remind us again how many Leitrim has in a province of 5.

The real irony is having a Leitrim man on a football thread.

Replying To DubSanIarthar:  "Delighted with how Dublin have upped their game in the last couple of matches. Better team beat the better squad on Sunday. Evident that a lot of work has gone into our kick out strategy in the past couple of weeks. Getting a couple of key players back has also been huge.
As a blow-in in the west, it's sad to see what poor management has cost probably the most talented squad in the country for at least 3 years of PJ's reign. They still probably had the best squad behind Kerry this year, but I'm not sure that will remain the case much longer. Incredible that he has never managed to solve the kick out issue that has been dogging them for years. The team occasionally breaks free of his shackles during matches and shows how good they could be with quick ball, but then they revert to the all the lateral stuff again. Sadly, talking to people down here, the rose tinted glasses being worn due to his great playing career seem likely to remain in place."
For sure Joyce was a really brilliant footballer and he has done well as a manager but maybe he has brought Galway as far as he can.

Replying To Pope_Benedict:  "Is it true that the free count in the Dublin Galway game favoured Dublin by 21 to 6?

If true, an astonishing statistic surely."
So what? That just means Galway fouled more than Dublin. The free count is irrelevant. .Do you think the ref should give an even amount of frees to both teams? Some teams foul more than others. Dublin were the better team. Move on.
