Indeed I will Archi. A quality band

You know that FHM section, "From the Mouths of Babes"?

Well. And Xavi, you'll like this one.

There I was in my gf's house on Saturday, doing a spot of painting, had the football on, on Today FM.

She wasn't listening, she was too busy commenting on my painting :rolleyes:

So, last night, she says to me, "When you had the football on on Saturday, was there some player called Carlton Cold" (This is an Aussie beer). I started laughing, of course. She further went on to say "I thought that the player was sponsored by the beer company, and they were saying that instead of his name"

:D

Xavi6

ROFL brilliant Des. I hope there was some appropriate face palming from you!

When my missus comes to watch me play football she never ever knows which way my team is shooting. Half the time she thinks we're attacking our own goal. It's feckin hilarious!

Women's magazines are more interesting in that they don't have the space to dedicate to stories about guys mistaking the names of Sex in The City characters. Unfortunately they need all the space for the guys mistook the location of.... stories.

I don't know what Kinder Surprise are, I still think you all sound the same (although I can tell your voice now).

I learned that 6th uses profanity every second word.

Uncivilised thuggery.

Xavi6

Indeed. Shocking all round. Played ball at school/club level with both the Dublin lads that were sent. I had a little laugh when I read it.

Sherifu

That'll help Paul Caffrey's argument that Dublin aren't a dirty team. He must be delighted :pac:

From the Mouths of Babes, love these quotes.

A friend of mine was telling me what the missus said to him the other week:

Him talking to me: I was still in bed and I heard her go out the door to work. Ten seconds later the front door opens again and she shouts up the stairs: "David, why is my car up on blocks?!?"

lol. My ex has a very limited knowledge of footie, and we were watching a Fulham match once and David Healy scored. She asked me when did he transfer from Northern Ireland.

Nice way of putting it I suppose.

My burd knows fúck all. :D (er....about football )

She allegedly has the offside rule memorised by heart, but I got the ketchup, mustard and vinegar bottles out one night, and she declined the chance to demonstrate, so I don't know.

Sherifu

It's not so bad now she has access, she can defend herself. I don't feel bad for her.

Feel bad for her.

Her car was outside a garage, and was just nicked, and driven into a wall.

The wall of Tolka bleedin' park, of all places.

Sherifu

Ouch. Really sorry to hear that. Is the wall ok?

I had to laugh at some of the muckers on the radio talking about this, basically claiming that mass brawls like this are a part of the game, and that if fellas don't get involved they are then ripe for the picking later in the game. One man even said that the only one of the 30 players who didn't get involved on Sunday, Stephen Cluxton, would probably be ridiculed around Dublin for being weak.

If this is the type of mentality that goes around in these savages heads, then the game has a long way to go to drag it out of the dark ages.

Talk of implementing the "Third Man In" rule that they have in Aussie Rules.

Xavi6

Well I saw the Sunday Game analysis the other day on youtube and according to Comman Goggins the 'Third Man In' rule is already there.

The whole incident was an absolute joke. You don't see it in any other sport really. Take for example Ice Hockey. Some of the hardest bastards around play that sport but they know that when a fight breaks out it's left to the two boys involved, no one else. That's the way it should be.

I think that's some old school bull or else blindly trying to defend the game. I'd be surprised if they weren't in the small minority. Any average fan doesn't want to see that kind of crap. The odd scuffle or handbags is one thing but when it takes away from the game it pisses me off.

Mr Alan

Lets see if xavi like these when he gets into work! i'll find one he likes sooner or later!

Hmmmm well it's better than that U2 b0llox you posted I suppose

Mr Alan

That U2 bollox i posted was ****ing brilliant!

Xavi6

I simply cannot agree

GuanYin

I don't understand why people like U2.

They were good way back, but they got preachy and bland.

In other news, started back at tennis. Yay. I have realised that its much like aerobics though. Between that and wii boxing I can stop going to the gym

Homer - "What are you two doing?"
Bart/Lisa - "We're practicing tennis?"
Homer - "That's tennis?!? What's the one where women in bikinis fight each other?"
Bart - "Foxy Boxing?"
Homer - "Yes, that's what I wanted!"

I played beach volleyball last week

It may sound nice, but girls fighting is never sexy. Its usually more vicious than guys.

Its hard to play if you don't know the rules.

Mr Alan

i could be wrong, but i believe he is refering to the famous, "pics or it didnt happen" rule?

As for U2, Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby are simply masterpieces, since then, the albums have been somewhat patchy, but each album is redeemed by at least one or two GREAT songs. Now, i dont mean good songs, i mean songs that only maybe 1 or 2 bands in the world are capable of writing. and a U2 gig, well, they're just magic.

out of curiousity xavi, did ya watch the U2 vid i posted or just flick it off soon as you seen who it was?

U2 are awesome. Plus Larry wants to join my band.

Today has been a bloody nightmare in work. Well nothing to do with work itself, more so my massive tiredness. Got up at 2.30am to watch the game. Finished around 4.30am, stayed posting here for an hour then realised if I went back to bed I'd only get an hour before work and that'd only make me feel worse so I made tea and stayed up.

Now it's coming up to 2.30pm which means I've been up for 12 hours with another 2 in work to go plus whatever else later on. Absolutely shattered, and I'm doing it all over again tonight

Dont be at yourself

I feel the pain. The game was on at 3.45 local time over here, so I grabbed a bit of sleep before the game, but that was it. Absolutely nothing to do in work today, so the day is dragging... nerves already playing up for tonight!

Sherifu

I thought I had it bad with the game starting at 9:45 pm.

*Hugs time-zone*

Keep the faith chaps. Tally-ho, etc.

I used to have that problem in Sydney all the time. Get up at ungodly hour during daylight savings to watch the footie then have to haul ass into work and drink coffee all day. I did actually fall asleep on the desk one day after watching 3 WC2006 games the previous day / night.. My solution to the Champions league problem was to go into work straight after the game finished, go to the lunch room and catch a quick nap before breakfast.

My biggest obstacle now to watching matches is the making of excuses for missing Gah games / training...

monkey9

Why don't you's all come back to Ireland!! Sure, the weather is sh!te, scumbags breed like junkie rabbits, traffic is as bad as ever, prices are sky high etc........but God damn it, at least you get to see the games at a reasonable hour!

Xavi6

Can't wait for my full night's sleep tonight!
