Could the same not more or less be said of GAA at any level?

Not in my experience really? I enjoy going to watch local championship games much more than watching UCD in Belfield.

Similarly, Id go watch Naas RFC before I'd go down to a Naas AFC match. I'd play soccer before any of the above though.

Suppose that says more about me than the sports themselves.

I'm not saying they aren't enjoyable, but you aren't exactly gonna see Ronaldinho playing GAA. It seems to suffer from the same things people bash LOI football for and seems to be alot of long ball physical percentage game stuff, I don't see much free flowing football or examples of any real technique, look at the almost exclusive emphasis placed on fitness as outlined earlier. There's excitement in other ways, people like the intense action and there's lots of scoring but I'd argue the 'standard' is if anything lower than LOI. I remember watching Dublin have 16 wides in a big game once and thinking if Jason Byrne had to just hit a ball over the bar like that I doubt he'd get 16 wides in a season.

In other words, as someone once said, if Europeans played GAA we'd be absolutely murdered every time. I get people love it and there's lots of reasons why with the scoring the way it is it's obviously exciting but is it not largely the same kind of thing as say LOI football? Hammering the ball long and telling the forwards to 'get on it'?

Gaelic Football does not equal GAA

Going for a run. Interesting topic. I'll prob catch you on msn later. Dont want to annoy the "lol chavball" brigade.

In short though, yeah I suppose it is, GAA doesnt pretend to be anything different though, its rough, its physical, its about fitness and intesity. Soccer pretends to be these things, and if I had to choose which game Id prefer to watch for the above attributes, GAA would win every time. It has more of them, in abundance, and they are, for the most part, accepted. Whereas looking for these things in a soccer game leads to (especially in this country) a fractured, jittery and whistle happy game.

Oops meh Kev.

[Emmet]

ugh, may have shot myself in the foot.

Recorded date of deadline to accept my masters as 26th May, logged in to accept it today, 26th April actual deadline, offer no longer has "accept" as an option.

Sent them an e-mail, and will call tomorrow. This could be an absolute disaster

[Lord Sir Banter]

No theyre all a bit mad. The last one i went to last month works from a shop in Artane who cant stop talking and is obviously charging extra vig for it at €13. He rants about the bad media coverage of Irish news and how he was dissapointed he didnt hear more about those children who were nearly drowned when they drifted out to sea in Bray a couple of years back. Instead he pointed up at the cnn news showing on the tv and said thats the type of news i like because they can get them cameras there straight away if anything happens and in the helicopters aswell. I said the reason i dont really like CNN is is because it seems to be on a loop and theres too much weather forecasts on it. He looked at me briefly like the crazy in 'something about mary' when stiller said "but what if somebody invented 4 minute abbs".

There was a note on the wall reading "Taxi rolls €5" so curiousity got the better of me and i asked "What are taxi rolls?". "Theyre for the taxi drivers reciepts you know. I said there must be a bit of a demand for it to make it worth your while selling it?, you must have a large taxi driver patronage in here as its an unusual thing to be selling in a barbers?. "Some of them just come in for the rolls ya know, they know its here ya know".

So that was it from then on it was value haircuts from now on. So last thursday i went into one on Talbot St and for €7 and it was cut by an Italian girl. I thought i was great walking out until i strode not 20yrd towards O'Connell St and noticed across the street a Polski barbers offering mens dry cut for €5. I thought of The Rigger instantly and knew what he would have done with the extra €2 savings, the euromillions of course.

That guy is making a killing.
You can get those taxi rolls for less than €2.50
Might be a business opportunity to undersell him right outside his shop.
Taxi Rolls - €4.95.

You should have used protection.

wife is not pleased with you atm

[whyno]

Yeah maybe I have a rose tinted glasses view of the debate on other sports

Does anyone here play for a GAA team?

I still play both hurling and football. My club is Carnew Emmets (shush now chd )
Our town is noted for its hurling exploits and also lots of altercations on and off the field
We're like the cousin you dont speak about when it comes to wicklow gaa heads (they are only jealous imo )

[Lord Sir Banter]

That's no excuse for not using protection tbf.

just out of the mini ecoop

slow played K high flush no good against a slow played A high flush held by a total spew with a VIP over 50

down to about 300 chips, get back to just over 1000 then:

all in pre with AJ no good against A10 off
J on turn gives him a flush draw...

there must be something else I could be wasting my time at

[ghostface]

Just put engine oil in the car and when started to head off driving there isa shitload of smoke coming out of the exhaust. Is this just excess oil burning off or something serious? No idea bout cars....

[vamos]

I would love to steal the client from stars or f/t lol.
I agree with everything you say hence the reason we looking at viable alternatives. What's amazing is no software company has come up the solution. Look at the 3rd and 4th largest rooms in terms of traffic on pokerscout and both clients are simply appalling. As soon as someone gets the right software everyone and i mean everyone will leave all the other networks and its a 3 horse race.
Went to the i-poker meeting of operators with Noel last week, can't reveal anything as its all confidential etc, only thing i can reveal is the first thing i did when i left was phone my boss and tell him we have to get off quick; whether we do or not is his call. On that any suggestions? All seem much of a muchness from what i can see, crap software, no enforceable policy on rake-back etc etc.

You should look at the merge network. Has seen good growth lately, some cake skins recently moved there.
Software is nowhere near stars/ftp but miles ahead of ipoker/ongame and better than cake/ipn/microgaming imo.
Standard 35% rb policy across all skins.

surely having a dogface should be enough.

did you spill oil down on the engine or the exhaust manifold this would cause smoke for a while until it burns off

Truth always hurts

Ah i take it back i know how bad that makes all ye feel up there

[Angry-Ball]

pull the dipstick and see if there is signs of water on it.

if you see water droplets on it its the head gasket

[ghostface]

no spillage of the oil. Dipped the oil and there was feck all in it so bought some on way home - 5 ltr bottle i think. Too much?

[Angry-Ball]

boom

helpfull ghostface

helpfull

[ghostface]

helpfull ghostface

helpfull

Helpful? i assumed max Power was making the head gasket reference/joke that is always made when people talk bout car trouble??? My bad if not.

Cheers for advice anywho, i think i put way too much oil in it

[max_power]

No i thought thats what was wrong.

[ComradeCollie]

no spillage of the oil. Dipped the oil and there was feck all in it so bought some on way home - 5 ltr bottle i think. Too much?

Woah. You put the whole 5l in?

[Angry-Ball]

no spillage of the oil. Dipped the oil and there was feck all in it so bought some on way home - 5 ltr bottle i think. Too much?

you have to leave the engine stopped for a few mins about 5
then dip it, depending on how low it is pour in some oil about 1ltr if the oil is at the low mark
give it a few more mins and dip again if its a small bit over the max mark this is ok
but if its under the low mark this is bad and you should add more
i deally 3/4 ways between the 2 marks is good

it might be head gasket allright

[whyno]

no spillage of the oil. Dipped the oil and there was feck all in it so bought some on way home - 5 ltr bottle i think. Too much?

Too much oil i'm afraid. A litre would more than suffice. You need to get it drained out because to much can clog up everything. Did the car cut out when you were driving or did you just create a huge fog

[ghostface]

balls....

did you check the dipstick for signs of water?

check your radiator top up bottle and see if thats low in water

I was having a rare ol laugh as the head gasket answer was probably correct. reason I said I'm not saying ir.

00 Golf GTI. I'll try figure it out, if not i may just have ause for my AA membership now

[max_power]

I was obviously giving it as the stock answer to any car problems; pretty funny that it may be correct.

[The Situation]

Remember when Dipstick used to be used a slang word back in the 80/90's. I put it in the same category as Sap, spa and doorknob.

you have AA, ahh fuck that give them a shout
get some value out of it

make sure you tell the guy that you want him to replace the giggiling pin and not to reuse the old. as this only leads to trouble down the road

[Angry-Ball]

I remember that. Doorknob is a new one on me though.

Carnew Emmets? Isn't that club with the infamous "referee in boot" story? Or was that Rathnew?

Nice bubble for the ticket for UkIP Killarney. Solid sleep tonight. TY Poker.

[Sledgejammer]

dipstick was a dellboy one makes no sense really . A culchie i know calls everyone a stocking

I've heard that, doorknob is also new to me. Lemon and spanner also deserve mentions imo. Spatchula is another one...
