Conor O’Driscoll was a lovely minor a few years back, one of our best forwards. Can’t believe Honohan got ahead of him.

Derry match on tomorrow night, highlights of Laois Cork after it.[/quote]

Cheers. Suprised to see a BSG fan here.

How so? Tis a great show, obviously the reimagining that is.

Conor O’ Driscoll is playing.

I feel sorry for Honohan, he is already going to be labeled as a daddys pick and only 18, although he is not supposed to be like the other sons, who are all sound. Fine player in fairness, but certainly not better than Barry O’ driscoll.
He by right should be over playing for Liverpool anyway.

AS THE excitement mounts ahead of Shamrock Rovers’ first game in the new Tallaght Stadium tomorrow night, manager Michael O’Neill has dismissed suggestions that his side need to produce a performance worthy of the occasion in front of the sell-out crowd.

Rovers announced that they have had to temporarily put a stop to the sale of season tickets – 2,000 of which have already been sold – after the opening home game against Sligo Rovers sold out yesterday.

With demand still high for the Hoops’ historic ‘first home game’ since moving out of Glenmalure Park 22 years ago, the club released a statement to announce that all 3,500 tickets have been sold and the sale of season tickets will resume next Wednesday.

O’Neill, however, played down the pressure on his side and insisted that getting the three points under any circumstances will be the priority, rather than a display of total football in front of the bulging crowds and television cameras.

“Everyone wants to go out and play fantastic football for 90 minutes, but football doesn’t work like that and we’ll have to do all of the horrible parts of the game to get a result,” he said. "I think we have the right characters and the right players in our dressing room to go and get a result on Friday night and that’s our main focus.

“For the players, I’m sure they’ll enjoy playing in front of a full house. Obviously we’re building a new team here with seven new players and it’s a chance for those players to get the supporters on their side early.”

Meant the nemo lad Barry.

What kind of a name is ‘Nemo’ for a club anyway? What made them call it that?

From pukepedia-

The story of Nemo Rangers Hurling & Football Club can be traced to before the start of the last century when in 1893 Rangers took part in the juvenile football championship. The origins of the Nemo side of the club has a unique story and begins around 1910 when the name Nemo meaning nobodies was given to a group of North Monastery pupils who wished to play our national games and were outlawed by their rugby playing fellow students. Pupils from the Turners Cross - South Parish area adopted the name and formed the Nemo club in 1915.

RTE and Mac agree with me - Laois are simply the superior footballing team. By 5 at least.

Your taking the word of RTE and a Wexford man on a football match? Jesus Turenne, have you been drinking alot recently?

huh?is that an attempt at a wisecrack?:cool:

Wouldn’t you be better off taking your daughter to the park or something.
Thought you were going smoking dope for the weekend anyway.

No thanks, i have other ways of opening my mind and chilling out.:cool:

Cork hammering the shit out of Kerry in the Under-21 football. 11 points ahead, nearly over.

Why are Kerry so shit at u-21? We even beat them a few years ago.

Don’t know, just listening to the radio sounds like they didn’t give a shit, poor level of skills as well. Its a young Cork side against a very experienced Kerry one, there should have been only one victor.

Anyway, 1 - 17 Cork 0 - 9 Kerry. Apparently Ciaran Sheehan had a great game.

Dublin have been utterly shambolic in the second half here.

I bet there’s a heap of cheltenham money on the cunts as well. How could you back Dublin? What pleasure could you take in it? They just do not have it.

In stark contrast to Derry, there is no method in the way Dublin play football. I mean, what the fuck is their gameplan? They look clueless, and are as overrated as the Galway hurlers.
