What's sort of money did Ings go for? Could be a good signing for Liverpool at the right price.

Freebie. Was out of contract.

Will be decided by a tribunal, likely to be in the £6 - £10m range. Not bad going imo, they'll get that back for him if the spell is unsuccessful but he has a lot of potential.

If you buy the pi you can buy a sd card with kodi already installed. You'll have to download a few addons and stick them on a USB and install them. And you'll have to follow and idiot proof tutorial to set up the remote.

Bit of effort but as I said once it's done you're good to go

Was listening to Matt Cooper on Fri, they were doing their round up of stories from the regions wit a panel.one of the stories was about a supermarket having to be shut down after 2 groups of travellers started flinging bottles at each other in the drinks aisle,apparently it was just the women 1st, things got heated, both groups called in the menfolk for back up and it kicked off.
Female journalist ( Angela flannery I think)on the panel got very sniffy " I'm annoyethis story was selected at all,it's only because it's travellers,wouldn't be in the news if it wasn't travellers " etc. It was embarrassing

[Keane]

Hard to judge Kildare fans for banter , they are normally all in Eddie rockets , City west by the time final whistle is blown.��

Considering it was a final and the manner in which they lost , The way Kerry fans behaved after the 2011 final make them an easy choice for best GAA fans in the country . Then when you have won as many as them I suppose it's easier to take the odd loss.

It's not!

Not that one. Still sick over it Went on the beer with a few dubs for the week though, helped ease the pain.

Heard a great line from a taxi driver last year before the All Ireland. "Isn't it great that Mayo aren't in it. At least that way we don't know who is going to win"

Had the gawks after that one alright. The loss to Armagh was septic as well, how did we lose?

Tyrone in 05 was easy to take because they were class, losing the one in '08 was terrible - last minute decision to bring Reidy back into the full back line and developing a tactical approach which involved avoiding getting Gooch on the ball at all costs *sigh*.

Last year's win was the best by a mile for me, most of the other victories were after bad finals or soft runs - beating Donegal in a nail-biter after sickening Mayo was ridiculously sweet.

[Keane]

A wee bit of edge and niggle between fans is good, sounds as if the Ulster lads have it sussed.
Not looking for mindless violence or anything, but also can't be having the 'sure it was a great occasion better luck next year great bunch of lads altogether' stuff either.

They didn't like it up 'em when we stuffed them in Killarney a few years ago in a qualifier.

Only time I've ever been at a game when Kerry fans were frothing at the mouth properly, it was interesting.

Careca and Keane both epitomised this for me.

Although actually the reason why I have so much respect and love for Kerry fans is that they were exactly as friendly and warm and modest when they fucking thumped us in 2009 as they were when we won in 2011 and when we played out that class in 2013. For me it's how consistently good they are. I was delighted for them winning last year in part because of that and in part because I think Eamonn Fitzmaurice is the best coach in GAA right now.

I was bitter and twisted about losing that match to the point that I couldn't watch the final back until Xmas, and then when I did I spent about 15 minutes trying to count exactly how many steps Kev Mc took before the goal, but I think I suppressed it fairly well on the day itself and pretended to be magnanimous.

In retrospect we should definitely have won but probably didn't deserve to if you know what I mean. Dublin sportsed better on the day.

I wouldn't like to speak for a big group of fans but for myself at least I like to think I'm fairly measured after a match, i.e. if we had a grievance I'd admit it but after matches like '12 QF & '13 SF you can take a lot of pleasure in just being beaten by a better team.

[Kayroo]

Yeah the 2011 match we had no right to win. We should have been further ahead at half time and when ye went 4 points up that should have been it but we got a soft goal and once that went in you got the sense that Kerry couldn't go back up to top gear quick enough.

Being beaten by Tyrone in 08 or yourselves in 09 was really a shoulder shrug loss. Beaten by a much better team both times. In 2011 we got lucky to a certain extent and in 2013 I don't think you were beaten by a better team. I think the whole thing came down to one lucky bounce of a ball. I honestly think there isn't a point between Dublin and Kerry right now. If they played 100 times they could easily win 50 each.

I know what you mean about pretending to be magnanimous but that's all you can ever be really. I still get angry thinking about Ray Cosgrove hitting the post in 2002 and how we should have fucking beaten Armagh that day.

[Keane]

That reminds me actually, I was out one night in Sam's bar and the Dublin footballers were inside there, I happened to bump into Kev Mc, grabbed him by the shoulder and roared into his ear "Will you stop scoring goals against Kerry you fuckin' bollocks!"

He looked shocked for a couple of seconds, then we both lol'd - good egg IMO

Yeah Cosgrave probably cost us the All Ireland that year

Beaten by a far better team in '13 IMO even though it was a game we could have won. If those two played a hundred times Dublin would have won a good few more than 50 I reckon.

We've improved a lot now though and Dublin are gone back a bit so I reckon it's very close alright provided JOD and Gooch are fit.

Regardless I could just sit and watch those two teams play football all day. That 2013 game is the best live sporting event I have ever attended.

I was watching the racing from the Curragh yesterday and I was struck by the way Weld's winner Postulation eased past Parish Hall and, to my mind was almost showing off by not really going on but staying in front a comfortable neck.

Why is Parish Hall still racing in middling contests at 6? Dewhurst winner back in the day, surely there must have been a chance of a stud spot somewhere down the line. 'Temperamental biter whilst being beaten in listed race' isn't going to help his cause.

Good question, I don't know the answer. He missed his 3yo season which is when most of them lay out their stall for a stud career. He's still entire so if the fertility is ok I'd say he will get a chance to sow a few oats.

IMO being a temperamental biter is a top three desirable trait in a stallion... You are looking for genes are saying 'I'm the boss hoss in this herd'

[hotspur]

Do you have a good understanding of your dietary problems now and what you can/can't absorb or things your body doesn't get on well with?
This will be a good start to seeing if anything needs to be done. In general I recommend anybody on any diet supplements D3 if there was one thing I know people are lacking.

Nope. Have figured out that the soya based stuff like tofu and the soya mince isn't going to be for me. That's kind of it atm. Body seems okay with three bean salad and chickpea salad. Quinoa seemed grand.

This will be a good process for me as to be honest my body doesn't seem to like very much that a human being can eat. Maybe I'm a cat. That would explain a lot actually. Are vitamin D supplements good for cats?

She hasn't bitten anything at a racecourse yet but she's pure savage.
She is out in a field now with a couple of her siblings. I was watching them a few weeks ago before she came back in and they were full of the joys of spring. She arrives and just a few days later they are cowering in the only doing whatever she gives them permission to do. If they get out of line she will ate them.

I'm off on my travels again next week so won't have much chance to follow Ascot but I might sign up and try and prove once again that pin sticking works as well as science.

Afraid they would be overrun by Water Protesters

[Strewelpeter]

Speaking of being overrun, every year for a half a day the dregs of humanity in the form of semi retired IRA murderers infest the area around Sallins in remembrance of Wolfe Tone who you can hear spinning in his grave as they glorify sectarian murder and ethnic cleansing in his name.

I see that this year they are with the 'Support of Kildare County Council' turning it into a weekend event so this year thanks to funding from my property tax you can have your annual sanitisation of mass murder with Bouncy Castles and the scum stay in town for the whole weekend.
