Had a game today and one of their players broke his leg. His own fault really, went in stupidly on our keeper and came off second best. Anyway, the game was held up for a good half hour while the ambulance came. He was eventually moved off the pitch and just as he was being put in the back.......the ref went over and booked him!!!! Unbelievable stuff. "I know you're in agony after just breaking your leg but here's a yellow card for your troubles." Couldn't believe it.

Refs can be plonkers alright. Remember that time one of them dropped their yellow card, and Gazza picked it up, and pretended to book the ref. Everyone LOL'd, but not the ref. He ended up booking Gazza for it the heartless fool.

Ohhh that happens here too. Once at a competitive match, a guy was hurt bad and they took him away with a fuull medical team, noone was even sure what was wrong and the stadium announcer played the mocking jingle for when someone is cautioned and the animation on the big screen. Was very inappropriate at the time.

if they injure themselves making a foul surely they deserve even more mocking? just goes to show they excessive force they went in with that on another day could easily injure the fouled player instead.

i've no sympathy in that situation.

To be fair, its very possible to injure yourself going in for a challenge without having excessive force. Sure how many players injure themselves just running with noone around them. Or someone who goes in with a bit of a late shoulder and twists their ankle badly or gets their boot caught and twists their knee, would be no serious force there, just misfortune almost coincidentally happening with a challenge. Each case needs to be looked at on its merits.

My brother did the above knee twisting thing and tore his ligaments. It was a fair challenge, but could just as easily have been late, end result would have been the same, him in hospital.

On another note, X-files sucks? Had hoped they might go back to the style of the good old one off weirdness episodes from the first few series.

I didn't see what happened exactly and the fouled player didn't think he was fouled, he thought it was just a clash. Either way, I think mocking someone who can't walk away from an incident is OTT.

i've done similar. more cartilage than ligaments, but still put an end to my fledgling football career.

the point I'm trying to make is that I've yet to see a tackle where a major injury has arisen without at least one of the players doing something careless/stupid/reckless/insane. regardless of intention, if you get injured making a challenge you shouldn't have made the challenge; the art of tackling is that friggin simple. a foul is a foul and should be discouraged either way. harsh but fair imo.

Des that was crap
Go home, practice and improve
Then try again.

ah just messing, wanted to respond in kind.
though i think strictly haiku's are supposed to reference a season.

The Dark Knight rules
Chills, as from a winter wind,
My spine tingled.

But yeah, the dark knight was savage! will definately be seeing it again before it leaves cinema. i watched it with 2 chicks which sucked for trying to have a conversation about it afterwards (disclaimer; im aware plenty of women are great for discussing movies, but these 2 weren't).

At my viewing though, the whole Heath Ledger dying thing made it a bit annoying at times, a large section of the crowd were almost Ooooing and Aahing everytime he was on screen no matter what he did. His performance deserved it but i just got the feeling a lot of the people were ready to do it anyway. For the movie itself, i dont think i have anything negative to say about it.

as brilliant as rum is i find they give the worst hangovers out of all drinks.

You know when you go to a party and you drink too much, dance, act like a dork but think you get away with it? Then 3 weeks later a new set of photos gets circulated and you realize that you were a bigger dork than you thought? That is where I am right now.

If i hear of a spate of murders in the US with only that party in common, i'll know who it is anyway!

How bad were they? Same kind of thing everyone does once in a while, or worse? I had the same experience from the day we won the league when I was in 2nd year in college, except it was a video camera. As embarrassing as it was the next day, we all got brought to play a friendly against DCU and to see an Ireland friendly a few weeks later, when it got brought out and repeated again ad infinitum. nightmare.

Pretty bad, I'm not quite sure what I was trying to achieve with some of my posing and when I drink I tend to pose.....ALOT!

I'm sure they'll appear on a social networking site before too long :pac:

I never get hangovers, I am one of those lucky fcukers. Anyway, I was at a 21st about a year or so ago,and they had an open bar at the house. I got there a little late, and all they had left was tons of wine and alco-pops.

Now I can't really stand either of them, so I decided to combine them as a few others seemed to be doing. For the rest ofthe night I was drinking pints of white wine and smirnoff Ice. The next day my head was in absolute tatters it is a lethal combo.

Syke

I didn't get hangovers til I turned 30, they're still not too bad now, but I notice them

Xavi6

Right lads apparently this is Ireland's cream of the crop -

So what do we think? I'm a big fan of Miss Dublin North. An ex of mine is in there too but I'm not saying which one it is!

Mr Magnolia

Miss Armagh for me thanks.

I find it hard to believe that is the best Ireland has to offer.

Some of those girls wouldn't turn any heads without their make up artists.

That said, the photography is shockingly bad for many of those photos, Miss Offaly looks like a startled deer!!!




(btw, any attempts to turn this thread into a photo shoot will be met with extreme contempt, Dub13 can hook you up with the slydice forum).
