I was giving the BIL a hand last night and he asked me if I'd heard about a neighbours pick-up being stolen. I'd heard nothing about it but the guy in question is a good friend of the oul boy and they go for a few quiet ones on a Sunday night so I knew he'd get the story from the source. Turns out the pick-up had been stolen and used in a staged accident around 20 miles away. 4 in the car that was hit and the driver of the pick-up apparently legged it away across a ploughed field without touching the ground (no footprints). The guards are investigating it'll be interesting to see how it pans out.

I'd say it's a line of investigation they've overlooked. Unusual really considering the oul boy and his mates have their own version of Syl, Paeter and Ned going on when the pints are flowing on a Sunday night. The rows can be epic but no argument is exempt from "reductio ad absurbum" when they get going. Your flip flops could come up yet.

I have two real good mates I drink with once a month and we fall out every time we meet but all is always forgotten. If we are getting on the bar man will start it off and walk away. Their wives and Mrs D cannot understand it, yet they're the first you'd call if in real bother!!!!!

The boys never fall out you'd start worrying if they went too long without an argument.

They could have worse than Donal at the helm, the man knows his stuff and I wouldnt be his biggest fan by any means. Id love to see him take over Galway to see he could straighten them out, they are trying to kill each other in club games up there and expected to play as a team for the county then

Well I've got myself a sexy new hard hat and overalls:D

Didn't expect to be on the killing floor though, poor cows. And then one went for me when I was closeing the gate to the chute. Didn't feel so sorry for them after that!

Also didn't expect to hear a big "WELL JAYUS WOULD YA LOOK AT WHAT THE CAT DRAGGED IN, HOWAYA KOVU" being roared at me from a lorry!:pac:

Good stuff kovu

I have tried on a hairnet.
A hardback hat.
A coat over overalls.

Seriously, size L given to me as that was the fastest they could find.

I couldn't see my feckin wrists, never mind the sheep spray!!!!!!

And no-one......no-one looks good in a hairnet.

I dunno TBH. I'm a bit suspicious of the motives of fellas offering their services from outside the county. It's another thing if they are responding to approaches.

I dunno why anyone would want it after what they did to Michael Ryan. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians down there IMO.

All joking aside, Galway need to bring in someone that can take control of the dressing room. It's going to kick off again now with portumna and Thomas's meeting in the county semi final!!!

Tis a joke alright, the Thomas and portumna lads were meant to have a bust up at the Galway races earlier in the year. I seen they got drawn against each other alright. Where and when is that game on do ya know? I'd nearly go for a look.

We tried that with Loughnane, didn't work. It's a myth about the talent in Galway. Most of the county players these days are very average. No technical skills, can't catch a ball in the air, rise a ball or score a point from play.

I hate to say it but I agree. But still it would be interesting to see what someone like jbm could do with them.

It goes wrong when they get the minor jersey. Then, for some reason they pop the collar up and head into Halo and expect the world to pay homage. Little gods they are. When a lad like Ger then roars at them to put their hand up through a forest of hurls, they think he's a c#nt.

It's all about attitude, and most of those lads have a bad one.

I see. My neighbours in Laois used to tell me the same about their minors.
I dunno what the answer is. I see what your saying, infact I see it I'm my own county, it seems a fair share of young lads are happy to get the county gig for the sake of getting it and parading around at the weekend throwing shapes.

I do know nowadays there is huge pressure on any young lad training at county level. It's professional in all but name. It takes a certain type of animal to get through it.
