Had this question in a quiz a few months back. Was the only person out of 30 odd people to answer correctly.

Some got the name, others got one year, others got the two years. Nobody, other than my fine self, got all of it.

Do go on.....

It still baffles me how we lost that All Ireland.

78 still baffles me...shit happens, move on

[Mackeroo]

Meath top of the league, get in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *




*Division 2 obviously.

[Billy The Kid]

78 still baffles me...shit happens, move on

You lost that one because they beat you by almost 20 points. i.e Kerry were clearly a better side than Dublin

They still are a better side than Dublin. I know you'll probably be blowing a gasket reading that, but they actually are

Pat O' Neill in '76 and '77.

do you remember the game?  I was at it, Kerry couldint get the ball off us for 25 minutes...we were sublime....All Ireland champions for the previous 2 years and where cruising...then shit happened

You're off your head. Kerry were tiping the ball around and were in cruise control, 4 points up with 8 minutes to go. Iv hardly ever seen us lose a game like that never mind an All Ireland final. Fair play to Dublin for winning it, but to say your memory of the the game is slightly skewed would be an understatement of mammoth proportions

78 still baffles me...shit happens, move on

It shouldn't, that was the greatest team of all time

i was talking bout 78 ye mad thing not last September..

I don't think Kilkenny have ever undeservedly won an All Ireland.

Lost a few undeservedly alright.

Boll fucking ox

You didn't deserve it in 2009. You got awarded a penalty with 5 minutes to go which should have been a free out

You can thank the referee for your 4 in a row

Not sure, Tipp got a few generous free earlier in that game.

What about Eddie Brennan grabbing the face guard of his opponents helmet and dragging him to the ground?

Or Tommy Walsh blatantly chopping down on Lar Corbetts forearm?

Both of which under the letter of the law merit straight red cards? Or have you conveniently decided to forget those two incidents?

Neither as bad as that stroke on Tommy Walsh. Worthy of a red card that.

[Billy The Kid]

I like how you also conveniently ignore the fact that Tommy Walsh was pushing the back of Tommy Dunne's helmet up with the butt end of his hurley shortly before the incident occurred. But we wont talk about that or the other litany of cuntish things that he does because little Tommy is a very very good hurler isn't he? Tommy Dunne should have been burned at the steak for what he did to lil Tommy

He's wasn't the first, and won't be the last, to be frustrated by Tommy Walsh's excellence.

[Billy The Kid]

I don't think it was Tommy's excellence that caused him to crack. I mean, Dunne had only just come on as a sub if I recall. I think it might have just been Tommy acting the c*nt, as per usual. Anyways, as I said, he's a very very good hurler so we wont go there

That would be undeserved, right?

 

[Anywhichwayicant]

Speaking of Tipp, Lar has retired.

Bit surprised by that.

[KERRYKOP]

Whats the betting we haven't seen the last of Lar. Surprising. 

Because of work commitments. He owns a bar doesn't he? Guaranteed he'll be back by September.

[PanchDeBurca]

Yep bad news for Tipp if he doesn't come back.  Hopefully he will make a return before the championship kicks off.

[Mackeroo]

Rumour has it he's off to Australia.

Big loss for Tipp, he's a class act.

[Spirit_of_Istanbul]

Mullane gone now too.. You can never be sure when these lads say they are retiring though.. chances are they'll both be back in the summer.

Football
Munster - Kerry
Leinster - Kildare
Connacht - Mayo
Ulster - Armagh

Armagh, sadly, have no more chance of making it to the end of september than big Ian. The golden years are well and truly over.

[KERRYKOP]

Armagh, sadly, have no more chance of making it to the end of september than big Ian. The golden years are well and truly over.

There's a severe lack in quality in Ulster at the moment so I could have picked any of 4 our 5 teams. Went for Armagh because they're prone to winning Ulster titles.

[Daniel Cabbaggio]

All Ireland champs 2012 on the tenth anniversary of 02. Nailed on.

All Hope aside, didnt fair too badly on sunday with loada debutants, where cork at full strength cos we were far from it

[Lawnmowerman]

Reading in the mirror this morning. Seamus Coleman tweeted his team of premier league footballers to win the All Ireland.

                           Given

Joey Barton      Phl Jagielka      Leighton Baines

Kyle Walker   Seamus Coleman    Scott Parker

            Jack Rodwell     Phil Jones

Shane Long     Wayne Rooney     Damien Duff

Gareth Bale       Kevin Doyle       Theo Walcott


Hes having fun with the twitterati about it

Crouch at full forward for me. The big greek at full back taking a Francie Bellew position.

Until Cork had a player sent off Armagh were being hammered and still nearly blew it. As much as it pains me to say it Armagh have no quality apart from maybe 3 players. Think of the players who have gone and the players now intheir place. Honestly can you say they are even in the same league let alone "as good as"?

Down in Ulster for me. Couldn't give a monkeys about the other provinces. They are all muck savages.

great idea

Id stick Shane long at corner forward, he played there for Tipp also Hunt would do damage in the mixer at number 10, Skrtel at full back, throwing shnaky digs and pinching the fuck out of full forwards, Lucas at center back, he'd clean up a mountain of ball.

[Anywhichwayicant]

I'd have Bellamy in Left Corner Forward.

[KERRYKOP]

Ashley Cole corner back, Id say he'd be sticky as fuck, and prone to the odd surging run up the field and fisted point. He's not in the PL, but Philipp Lahm in the under corner, he looks and plays like a long lost O'Se brother

[Daniel Cabbaggio]

Don't think the manager helps us TBF, surprised he survived in the summer.

The Non diving versions of Gerrard and drogba would be fantastic in the Orange and white

[Sinead7]

Any Tyronies on here? Uncommon for them not to be floating around somewhere, like dog shite they are...fucking everywhere!!

[KERRYKOP]

No I don't think so, Iv never come across anyone from there on here, its is surprising it being quite a big county.

[Lawnmowerman]

So.....following Colemans lead   

                      Reina

Shawcross     Kompany        Baines

Richards         Skrtel           Enrique

         Yaya Toure     Agger   

Sessegnon      Gerrard         Bale

Suarez            Yakubu          Dempsey

[Anywhichwayicant]

Similar to Lawnmowerman's.


                       Reina


Rafael          Kompany          Baines


Richards          Skrtel            Enrique


               Yaya           Agger


Silva             Gerrard           Bale


Suarez            RVP              Bellamy



     

[Lawnmowerman]

Dont think Silva could take the heat. That Rafael would be a right little c*nt though

[Anywhichwayicant]

Aye, Rafael would be a right little irritant.

[KERRYKOP]

Sean Kavanagh always reminded me of Stevie I could definitely see him in that role, easily interchangeable at midfield, half forward and full forward. Although his legs mightn't be able for it at this stage. Tim Cahill would be a great Paul Galvin type. Aggressive enough to win ball, but also could possess a little bit of magic to change a game. Zamora at 14 is a great shout by Coleman it must be said, finally he'll get something for lamping the ball over the bar.
