Its been a very quiet month so far. I think we were spoiled in August so September was always going to be a let down. Cannot actually think of a single thing any one person has done to merit a nomination or a vote yet. Puke as a defending champion has been very disappointing. I was hoping he would kick on and make the award his own but heās opened the door for anyone else to jump in and rip it away from him.
Lets hope it gets better from her. Not far off halfway through the month now so lets hope the second half brings a big improvement.
i have a feeling it could be mairegangaires award this month there seems to be a lot of hype about herā¦reckon appendage and bandage both deserve nominations for trying to argue that tom feeney was a better full back than brian lohanā¦
take off the saffron and blue specs there puke, Lohan was ever only a mullocker! If they get nominated for IOTM for saying thatā¦then I dont know what to make of thingsā¦
Itās early days but itās certainly a quiet month. Despite a quiet few days I think Puke would still be my favourite to retain the crown. His protests about the voting were idiotic in the extreme. Shan is keeping a very low profile but the Lancashire derby at the weekend might bring him out of his shell.
As I speculated on last monthās voting thread, people seem to have backed off and are afraid their posts will be āused against themā (copyright Captainshan). I donāt think thereās been a lack of posts on the board so far in September, itās more people havenāt been as idiotic with each other, thereās been less rows and people seem to see the title as a burden rather than the honour itās meant to be. For example, Shanās probably deleted more content than heās actually posted since losing the head in late July/early August. Pukeās always liable to react to something. Farmerās been pretty controlled so far. Iām generally in the hunt too. I sensed Mire getting annoyed yesterday on the āBlue Steelā thread - she usually comes out with the āmaybe if I used the word ācuntā a bit more then you lot could understand what Iām sayingā when sheās angry and she could yet explode later in the month. Rocko has to be favourite though.
Pukeās hysterics during the voting process is surely worthy of making him a serious contender this month, only difficulty was that it was so early in the month.
The about turn then when puke, realising that everyone was laughing at his hysterics, decides to āembraceā the award is surely another act of supreme idiocy.
And the constant banging on about Lohan, seemingly oblivous to the fact the we are entitled to have different opinions of the abilities of sportspeople.
gman i have no problem with anyone saying he was overrated but to say that a middling to fair intercounty hurler like feeney was a better fullback is idioticā¦
that would be like me trying to say that henning berg was a much better centre half than fabio cannavaroā¦
Just picked up a letter addressed to me which was delivered about a month ago but i only noticed it now to find that on the front of the envelope bandage has listed all the nominations for the August poll. The cunt wouldnāt even use the back.
Not much to respond to from that sentence from Bandage Iām afraid. Iām aware of his efforts to wriggle out of a difficult situation but heās yet to produce any evidence at all of his attendance at Croke Park and Iāve pictured him in Glasgow on that very day.

Add to that his hard man antics in Limerick bullying a child to try and impress a few young girls out celebrating their Junior cert results
If the voting patterns of recent months have shown us anything then itās sheer idiocy at the beginning of the month is often consigned to the dustbin and itās these last few days of the month when decisive displays of idiocy are rewarded. In that sense, The Puke seems to be on a ridiculous roll with some of the stuff heās coming out with in the last couple of days. I could be in the hunt again after being caught conspiring with Mrs Rock to show her husband for the liar that he is. But will I be punished, like Nelson Mandela, for seeking the truth? Rocko deserves to be in the hunt for his sly conniving in the background. I also think itās funny that Shanās too timid to post this month after his narrow escape in August, lest he say anything that would be construed as an IOTM contender. Flanoās new seat in work is keeping him off here and his chances are low this month. NCC seems to have ruffled a few feathers with his GGA posts but I canāt think of many other candidates. Weāll really need more people to step up to the plate as the week progresses - for example, I sense Farmerās ready to go off on one at the slightest provocation.
