    are you serious ? LOL, i could go to something like but i dont think its des's cup of tea

    Is that nutcase Tank Abbott still in UFC???

    I might look into going to that. Most of the fights end up as a grappling match. I'd be more of a fan of a nice loose traveller bare knuckle fight.

    What was the name of that crazy Croatian guy from ufc or Pride? I remember seeing a few videos of him on youtube....INSANE!


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 21,254 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dub13


    I am not mad into that UFC lark but I will pass the word on as a few mates are mad into it.

    On a similar note I was at one of those white collar boxing nights a couple of weeks ago it was good crack.

    Fine and your good self..?

    Wow. Okay here goes:

    - Brock won his second fight against Heath herring via diominant decision. He's now getting a title shot against randy Couture in November.

    - poor show Des, watch men hurt each other, its very butch!!

    - Tank Abbott is long gone. the days of bar fighters succeeding in the sport are long gone. most guys now are elite level athletes who could do well in any combat art, i e theyre really well rounded.


    - Ibh you're likely to see more standup than grappling nowadays. i personally find grappling really interesting since Ive been doing it myself years. Ive been doing the striking arts now for 2 years and I know a bit more about it but a technical grappling match is amazing.

    - The Croatian guy in PRIDE is Mirko Crocop. In his prime an absolute phenomenon. Saw him fight in London, he looked washed up and he lost. He fought 2 weeks ago in japan to a no contest. he was gettin schooled but the other guy (Alaistar Overeem) kept kneein him in the balls (accidentally) so it was a no contest.

    - Its on jan 17th in the O2. No idea about tickets yet but I'll let ya's know. Thread in the SDMA forum, go there to keep up to date! :pac:

    Seventeen is God awful, the rest of the album isnt bad though.

    Man such a **** day out, cold, windy and wet, never a good combination!

    The lack of last poster name on the front page is a real pain, hope they bring that back.

    Came across this .gif on 365

    Made me chuckle. Very tempted to use it just once around here, but I fear the results could be ugly.

    ye today was horrible cycling...im as sick as a dog now. throat ****ing killing me.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Went to see "Taken" tonight.... was good fun in an all too convenient kind of way!


    Funny story though, was with my ex who ive been seein a bit again, and who's there when i get into the cinema only 3 of my mates out to see it. They incidentally werent aware I was seein her again! Then even weirder afteer the film it turns out Id parked right beside them n all. She defo thought I was playin a joke on her or somethin!

    Book my pitches for weekly 5 a side today too, cant wait. Will give reports on all the goals I scored on a weekly basis so i can be down with GY and Xavi! :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,909 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6

    But fortunate for the rest of us as we don't have to hear about them! :p

    Hmmm, I'm in 2 minds. When it first came out I thought it was extra awesome. Now I just think its good. The appeal wore off a little. "Be Somebody" is an awesome song though.

    Its not as good as Because of the Times though, that was epic win.


    Now the latest offerings from Slipknot and Metallica = EPIC win!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,909 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Hmmm Metallica and Slipknot are both hit and miss for me. The songs on the Metallica one are waaaaay too long ot hold my attention, while the Slipknot album just isn't as 'raw' as earlier offerings.

    Going to see Slipknot at the end of the month though so can't wait.

    To be fair, they're not needlessly long like St Anger (sh1ttest album ever made by a band who aren't normally sh1t IMO) and there's a lot of thought put into the structure of the songs. The riffs are just legend.


    I like the more mature Slipknot. Not every song on it is good Ill give you that but overall its a definite 4/5.

    Have you seen them before? If not, you;re in for a treat mate, they;re awesome! I hear they're touring with Machine Head? Who's the support out your way? If it's Machine Head then you my friend are in the epic win territory and I hate you cos they;re not comin here (all of the UK but no Ireland......JERKS!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,909 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Yep it's Machine Head. My cousin is absolutely mad into them so I said I'd go with him. More so looking forward to Slipknot


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    Have you checked out any of the Machine Head albums yet Xavi? Having seeing both of them live I can tell you you're in for some treat.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 18,115 ✭✭✭✭ShiverinEskimo


    I'm sickened. Been playing in our local astro-turf 'dome' type place every thursday since April and they 'accidentally' deleted our booking and now that the summer leagues and local GAA season is over everything is blocked booked for months.

    ****ing bastards.

    Normally - like most people I would d/l most of my music but I am a big Oasis fan so I would buy the album yes. Same would apply to Johnny Cash if he was still alive. When I like an artist or team in any sport, I support them.

    Yeah I got it last weekend. Starts off really well but fades badly towards the end imo
