    If Joe Duffy wins a "buk" prize after all the publicity hes generated for himself I'll eat the award....somehow.... :(

    And if Leo shows his snout, I want him in a Taxi straight to Beaumont Hospital to sort of the A&E debacle....It think it's called "doing his job".

    So sad, I would say as a farmer, we all know a farmer or a person from a farm who died from a farm accident.

    People who deal with grief striven people are great people. Horrible job as it is hard, but it has to be done.

    "No matter how much we did, none of us were there to catch them when they fell".
    :confused:
    Bit of an odd thing to say ?

    Terrible tragedy, I cant help thinking of the absolute terror they must have felt when the balcony gave way.

    No harm to these folk, but 2 weeks ago, and in a week, 5 young Irish people died accidently in Australia. Their news lasted a day.

    yes I know ..... Probably because they didn't all die in the same incident ? Still the same loss .... but so little made of it.

    I also thought it was a strange thing to say (we weren't there to catch them) ????

    Not sure about the timing on this one Grainne.

    I'd say it's the only game of soccer where everybody runs away from the ball.

    Not all muslims are terrorists you know and that's what projects like that are trying to achieve.

    I think the 'we weren't there to catch them' was about - yes they are getting praise but what they did changed nothing, they weren't there to prevent it. they were just there when it was too late and probably see it as doing what is natural.

    I dont get this. Everybody else leaves their religion at the door, but the Muslims always want a special case or else it's discrimination. And I dont remember reading anything about women playing soccer in the Koran. Also, aside from the religious issues, surely it affects her peripheral vision.

    I was in New York two weeks aftre 9/11, one of the first things I saw in Queens after leaving the airport was all these muslim childiren leaving a school, and one couldn't but help think of how these people and their families must feel even thought they did nothing wrong.

    The irony being that everybody should really have been looking at the Israelis.

    God, you could just feel that woman's pain through the camera. Must be so dfficult.
