I heard Platini is notoriously pro Meath and has a huge anti Louth football agenda for no reason and based on no evidence. Can't believe he's escaping blame here.

Probably only escaping blame because of his recent heart atack.

Apparently Sepp suggested the use of goal line video technology

[BobSloane]

Not an expert on either team but surely i'm not the only one who thinks Meath will hockey Louth if there's a replay and the Louth team will be left wondering why they didn't settle for the cheated/heroic/moral high ground status that they briefly held.

If Meath offer a replay imo its because they're very confident they would win. Obv we'll never know but if Louth had won first title for >50 years the last day with a dodgy goal like Meath scored I feel certain a replay wouldn't even be discussed.

All imo - no offence intended to Meath or Louth folks

[Lord Sir Banter]

Obviously the only appropriate solution is for Louth to play Henry for a new special 5th spot in the semi-finals.

There is a small bug in that you can't just create a free iTunes account, it always asks for a credit card.

Workaround is to go to download a free app first from the store and then it will let you create a free account. Dunno why its like that.

This is the worst invention known to man. You cannot leave your phone lying round, if you have a girlfriend it's just a disaster.

Only thing to do is go breaking bad and get two mobiles.

typical
first hand dealt j7o in the sb i toy with the idea of playing it as there is only 2 limpers ahead of me but i fold it.
flop 7 10 7 and 2 of the guys get allin with 10 9 and 8 9

ipoker seem to have that kinda software that when you fold a hand the board deals you what would have been the nuts.
it just encourages bad play

Two stories on the cards and small pressies from holland!

Last time I was in Amsterdam, I got a mate of mine who lives there to post me home 'a card' after I left - I was a little bit paranoid about it as only a month earlier I had a load of t-shirts stopped by customs coming in from the US and they made me pay VAT & Duty on them so I told him to do the 'ole but my address on the envelope but use a different name, that way if it's stopped, I can deny all knowledge. My surname is Murphy, so imagine the shock I get a few days after getting home when I get a card addressed

BIG MAD MURPH (in large bold print)

along with a couple drawings of a certain plant on the outside of the envelope Can't believe it got through


On the bringing a present home lark, I was at a stag in Galway a few years back and had a good bit of weed left over, forgot about it and two weeks later I flew Dublin - Amstedam - Hamburg - Frankfurt - Dublin for a work trip using the same bag I had with me on the stag. My flight from Dublin is delayed and it look's like I'm going to miss my connecting flight to Hamburg so I am literally sprinting through the airport. Arrive at the security gate sweating and ask the security guard if there is any way I can skip/fast track through security in order to make the flight to which they saw no. I miss the flight eventually but it's only three days later when I arrive back home in Dublin that I realise that I had the weed in my bag all the time. I can only imagine how it would have looked had they found it on me going through security in Amsterdam

on the way out to play a match

game looks like it will be replayed - very big gesture if it goes ahead

As Sean Kellly pointed out on the radio this evening, the Ref admits in his report that he made a mistake in awarding the goal, that according to him opens up the way to have the GAA amend the score and award the game to Louth.

A 'Big Gesture' would be to admit that Louth won the game fair and square and ask them to change the score to the correct score, offering a replay is a weasly way of trying to hang on. IMO

[eagle eye]

Underbelly.

I really recommend this show to all, based on real happenings in the drug trade in Australia. The first season is about the period from the mid 90s to 2004, the second series is a prequel of sorts, it goes back to the late 70's and early 80's. Looking forward season 3 which is just coming to a close. I haven't started watching it yet.

Best one ever is in the Connacht Minor final many years ago. Roscommon got a penalty and the ref tells them its the last kick of the game, they were one point down. Captain is taking the penalty when suddenly Shane Curran runs up and burys it in the net. All hell breaks loose, ref gives Roscommon the win but it eventually was decided to have a replay.
Shane Curran you might maybe know as he was Roscommon senior goalkeeper for a couple of years. A ginger.

http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-football/championship-flashback-carlow-stars-lament-point-that-never-was-1734779.html

There were just 42 seconds left to play in normal time. The ball arrived in the hands of Laois substitute Mick Turley, who was close enough for a shot but was under pressure from Carlow defenders.

John Kearns, the Carlow goalkeeper that day, takes up the tale. "It was very near the end of the game, it was a very crowded goalmouth. Michael was on the stand side," he recalls.

Turley twisted and turned and opted for an overhead kick, virtually with his back to goal.

The former player, who went on to play Barton Shield and Senior Cup golf for Elm Park GC, now runs an auctioneering business in Dublin. He describes the action from his perspective. "I got the ball, and I was something between 14 and 20 yards out from goal. I turned away and kicked it with my right foot over my left shoulder. It was hit hard and it went over the umpire's head.

"Immediately I knew it was wide. In fact, on the video, you'll see I have my head in my hands because I'd missed," he says.

Goalie Kearns was ready to react if needed. "I could see it all the way, but there was no danger. The ball was going wide. I knew it was going wide, and if you see the video, I'm there with my arms stretched out signalling 'wide'.

"I said 'don't worry, it's going wide' as the ball was in the air. Next thing I knew the umpire was waving the white flag. I couldn't believe it. Everyone was roaring and shouting.

"I was bulling and losing the rag. I looked over at the linesman and he waved 'wide' but he didn't come in to say that to the referee, and the referee didn't go over to him.

"I was shouting at the ref saying it wasn't a point, and to go and ask the linesman, and he said to me 'if you don't get away from me I'll send you off'. I was raging, but I backed away from the ref. No point in being sent off.

"I went back into the goal and looked the umpire in the eye and said 'can you honestly say that ball was over the bar'?

"'I can,' he said. I gave him a right mouthful and it wasn't pretty language," says Kearns.

Carlow fans behind Kearns' goal were incensed. "I could hear some of them shouting 'burst him, burst him' but I was never going to get physical with the man, even though I knew he was wrong," he recalls.

Turley was approached by Garvan Ware, the Carlow midfielder

"He said to me 'for God's sake, Mick'! But I said 'what do you want me to do Garvan, tell the man he's wrong'?

"Garvan and I often have a laugh about it when we meet, but Carlow weren't laughing about it at the time," reflects Turley.

The drama wasn't over. Carlow went downfield and won a sideline ball in injury time. Ware fired it towards the Laois goal and there was a scramble for possession among players of both sides.

Referee Cooney blew for a pick-up by a Laois defender. Free kick, close to goal. Opportunity to save the day ... but almost simultaneously Carlow sub James Reid had the ball and was kicking it wide.

More controversy ensued. Reid said afterwards he hadn't heard the whistle and was continuing the play he thought was still active. Carlow players claimed the free should be re-taken off the ground, but ref Cooney decided Reid had deliberately taken the free from the hand.

The wide stood. The game was over. Laois 2-11, Carlow 1-13. Victory by a point for Laois.

(but laois gave them a replay and won again)

Am i missing something here? Sounds fine

[CHDad]

Am i missing something here? Sounds fine

I'm guessing the keeper was watching and expecting the captain to take the peno and the keeper runs up and smashes it. This isn't allowed, it's unfair on the keeper as he wouldn't be ready.

Am I right EE?

Meath should be kicked out for unsporting behaviour

Roscommon were 1 point down, they got a penalty and a goal was scored. That means Roscommon won by 2 points.

Mayo complained that it was unfair as the Captain was lined up to take the penalty. Curran was not the Captain but ran up and buried it.

[BobSloane]

From Roscommon GAA wiki !

In the 1989 Connacht minor final, Roscommon trailed by a point when they awarded a penalty which would be the last kick of the game. Instructions from the sideline were to take the point and level it, Peadar Glennon steadied up to take the kick. then Shane Curran ran in and blasted the ball into the net. Roscommon collected the cup, did a lap of honour, then learned that the goal had been disallowed because Glennon was in the area when the kick was taken. The match was replayed, and Roscommon won.

[TommyGunne]

Was going well until I got KK in vs TT on a 6 high flop, T on turn obv. Then got half my stack in on turn and half on river with 22 on a K7828 board vs 78 to busto in bout 100th.

Who do I ship to!?

Yeah thats right, the ref awarded the goal and blew the final whistle. Then he changed his mind after the game was over and Roscommon had been awarded the cup.

runs up and buries it
