He's oldschool Waterford, the swashbuckling carefree (pre Davy Fitz era), thats how they roll. Remember Eoin McGrath going for goal in the 2007 QF v Cork, when a point would have taken it to a replay.

He confirmed last night that he was retiring from inter county. What a career for a Waterford hurler - 4 Munster titles, 3 All Stars and a hurler of the year award. 21 Championship goals in total. Just missing that Celtic Cross obv

Used to play Full Forward when i was a kid u the age of around 15/16..won many finals etc. They used to call me the "goal machine" and basically played the exact same game as Dan the man. Then i went full back becuase our full back packed it in. Although i would regard myself a better full back than a full foward, nothing beats catching an near impossible ball and then being 1 on 1 with the keeper and burying it when it really matters. Only 21 and cant really pick up a stick again ugh FML.

I'll tell you one thing now Kev, for all the shite that Dublin fans get when they are on Hill 16 I've never experienced anything like the nastiness I saw there last weekend from a small minority of Waterford fans.

My gf is from Tipp and I was there with her and her 2 brothers and we had to move twice because of them. Every county has a small minority of really bothersome fans but I have to say, in all my travels with GAA I have never seen a worse bunch than the supposed fans from Waterford I met on Sunday.

That Waterford team deserved an All Ireland, but those fans didn't.

That's not a reflection on the majority of Waterford fans by the way who were good humoured and graceful in defeat. I just know you go to games a good bit and I wondered if this was a new phenomenon or has it always been thus?

There is always an element of scumbags that turn up at the big Waterford games (Munster finals a few years back, nowadays AI Semi Finals or AI Final). Its unfortunate, but its a minority. They often end up beating the shite out of each other!

I remember the 2002 SF against Clare, we were on the hill when this group of well known Waterford out and out dirtbags unfurled a huge banner.

Yeah that's more or less what I thought. It's just so weird to find that at GAA matches that I was surprised that none of the Waterford or Tipp fans seemed to think it was that unusual.

Probably more a case of ignoring it as not to draw attention themselves.

Thanks for the info guy's re: the redundancy thingy. It's a great help .

[Wombatman]

[Dice75]

Under normal circumstances the company pays the statutory and reclaims it from the Govt. I believe that in a liquidation circumstance you must claim the statutory from the social welfare yourself. The company need to fill out forms etc

Statutory is 2 weeks per year + 1 bonus week, capped at €600 per week. Any statutory payment is tax free.

She'd be entitled to 9 weeks overall, but as she was PT the last 2 and a half years it will worked at 9 weeks*her PT weekly rate.

Loads more info http://www.citizensinformation.ie/ca...dancy-payments

Be warned that it can sometimes take up to 6 months to recieve payment.

I actually think there is a section of the Tipp terrace that is more troublesome than most.


On a different note i have reached crisis with 3 and there service. They have cut off my service and i can only receive calls they are withholding my texts.

The reason you may ask ? Well i didnt pay my bill ! Why you may ask ?

The agent who sold me the package told me i have 100 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited free weekend calls for my €20.

I run into trouble when my units run out after 1 weekend it appears i dont have unlimited free weekend calls that i have to top up €20 to receive this.

Im now pretty much refusing to pay my bill which i feel i am correct about since i was mislead when signing up. The bill is only €25 but its the principle that is making me stubborn.

Any advice ?

[tipp86]

May aswell throw up a different post for this i have 2 phones for sale going to throw them up on adverts soon but if anyone has interest here it would be easier.

it goes on in the stands as well
i had the pleasure of being stuck between a waterford lad sitting at my 5 oclock and a tipp boyo sitting i seat to my right they were really giving it socks both of them were in their 50's and i thought it was going to come to blows at one stage but it was lol tbh.

all i can say is that in all my years going to matches i have never meet with any hostilities only ever a bit of friendly banter

[Solskjaer]

ugghh those Waterford fans Kayroo, it's just not right, makes me kind of angry but what can you do. -> Fecking Culchies in the HILL ?

Not pushed about selling it really going to throw it up at that price anyway and see its great when your selling something you dont really even want to sell. I gave the GF €240 for it so i prob got a good deal.

What do you think of the phone emmet ?

The worst ive encountered i think was a Tipp fool in his 30s who lobbed a bottle at a KK girl during last years all ireland. Gardai came up but he got away with it.

Ive seen him twice since on my only bus spin in years which proves my point of absolute lunatics been on buses thank god i dont have to use them and my second time was when i was in hospital i saw him there god only knows what he was doing there.

On the Gaa violence front i hear my club made the national papers yesterday on the Gaa matches been abandoned front what a claim to fame.

Question for the font of all knowledge that is the BBV, and especially Bubbleking if he is around. I'm doing a cycling/running race on Saturday, which will take me about six hours, so endurance is key. What kind of foods should I be eating on Thursday and Friday? Is pasta the way forward?

I presume you've been training for this so you should have been practising in terms of your nutrition aswell as the physical side of things. The only thing you can do now is carb load but even this should have started a few days ago but I suppose better late than never.

Anything high in carbs is your friend like pasta, wholemeal bread, etc., etc.

And I'm sure it goes without saying you shouldn't be doing anything too strenuous in the next couple of days even training. You've done all you can and now is the time to replenish your energy reserves

I can't imagine the odds on Joe surviving that. He is one guy that could never ever complain about a Bad Beat!! Fair play to him though for giving himself the chance to survive!!

As part of a weird prop bet thats emerged, what do you reckon the chances are of any small comedy open mic places allowing 6 people who aren't comedians and know each other perform on the same night...?

[sligoboi]

In relation to ^^, Bubbleking, thoughts on a low carb diet ?

TO butt in here..each to their own and all that but if you're doing any sort of physical activity carbs are ridiculously important. They are the body's preferred energy source.

If losing weight is an aim then a calorie controlled diet combined with lots of aerobic/cardiovascular training is the healthiest way.

Well I have been training, but it was far a much shorter race. This was kind of a last minute decision, and basically I'm treating it as practice for the real race in September. Training this week has obviously been much reduced, and I plan on a short cycle and swim tomorrow and a full day of rest on Friday.

I have been eating plenty of pasta this week (and drinking buckets of water) but it dawned me today that I've no idea it this is the right thing too - it's something I would have done for rugby matches etc, never considered if it followed on for longer periods of activity.

[Aya14]

Copa Libertadores final is on in a couple of hours.

Internacional of Brazil won the away leg 2-1 in Guadalajara.
Away goals don't count however so they wont be sitting back, resting on there laurels.
1.5 on betfair at the moment these boys have a very good passing game and Chivas can't come and sit back. I can see a few goals tonight. Javier Hernandez was a huge player for Chivas they are not the same side without him.

I'll have a small bet on over 2.5 @ 1.81 and the home side at 1.5.

Betfair are streaming the game live btw. Should be very entertaining.

Am pretty useless when it comes to new technology.
Still using one of these yokes I got for free from a poker site years ago.



Are vodafone network any use for using the iphone or are you better off with other networks? I'm on vodafone prepay for years, free txts and calls to vodafone which I like.
Would be nice though to be able to download/listen to a few podcasts, surf the interweb, play ww , watch a show.

Used to spending just 20e a month to maintain the free voda calls and txts.
