Why the fuck does it matter how many from play?if you don’t have a decent free taker you will win nothing

[Faldo]

@Blake surly by now you know these northern lads are fucking clueless…

[Cicero_Dandi]

Because frees come from the work of others. His coversion rate for the trickier frees has dropped badly over the last two seasons.

[myboyblue]

Soft cunts the lot of them.

Hard luck against Waterford. You’d have gotten some laughs in Innovate Wexford Park at half time in the 1st round game if you tried to tell patrons of the current standing of both sides in this years Championship.

Cluxton brought straight to Mater yesterday and rumours he ruptured the L1 and L2 vertebrae on the lower spine. Typical recovery time is 3 months.

[count_of_monte_crist]

I am quite sure patrons would have been well versed in both sides standing as why the fuck would a neutral go to that dirge…

there was about 300 at it and that is being generous

@anon78624367

agree with you 100% on this. Goalies are a protected species. I nearly got murdered by one of the cunts coming out with his knees. Centre back got up before me and put his hands on my shoulders so I couldn’t get off the ground, the goalie came out for the same ball with the knee out and smashed me in the head. It was like a WWE tag team takedown.

the fucking goalie got a free out cos he went out over me and I nearly dead on the ground

cliché 101

Still no Good if the guy kicking them can’t put them over.if he was from Tyrone you’d be pulling your little mickie every night thinking about him.
I don’t like him but credit where it’s due

He would not. He’s asexual. But his hands would be shaking a lot more than usual doing the rosary.

[Cicero_Dandi]

I wouldn’t. He’s pretty ordinary.

I see Diarmuid Connolly is said to be heading stateside for the remainder of the summer.

Colm Parkinson (Woolberto)

[caoimhaoin]

20k to come over.

Carthy got 15, which is very surprising as nowhere near same level

[myboyblue]

Connolly was in a hurry to go

[caoimhaoin]

Why though?
Nothing came of the latest knobbery

[myboyblue]

That’s not the latest

[Cicero_Dandi]

My understanding is Tyrone and Monaghan cannot meet in Rd 3 should they progress.

It’s basically going to be about getting past Carlow and avoiding Mayo in the next round. Kildare would be another tough tie in Rd 3 but Mayo is the one neither side would want now. There’s a 28% chance Mayo will draw either Monaghan or Tyrone in Rd 3 should all teams progress as expected.

My predictions for the 8 teams who progress:

Cavan
Monaghan
Mayo
Tyrone
Armagh
Kildare
Louth
Clare

In that case Monaghan Tyrone is the only fixture that cannot happen,

Can someone post up the text of that Jim McGuinness Irish Times article please. I can’t get it behind the paywall.
