Feck them all, I hope they're dying :P

Absolutely dying, worst hangover Ive had in a while. Managed to bag a ticket for Croker on Saturday, the buzz about the place was unreal.

Must've been embarrassing when you realised the match wasn't until Sunday.

Some girl I know put up a photo from the ploughing championship of colm copper fro kerry. I didn't know who he was. So I asked, as she said he was her idol. Her sister replied sayin greatest man in gaa and I replied I don.t follow the gaa. Im more of an ice hockey, American football fan.

I did play gaa sports whe I was younger

Angron · 25-09-2013 09:51PM

Never really got American Football. Ice hockey seems all right though, or at the very least the best of the sports popular in the US.

Many people don't like nfl just cause of its slow peace

Angron · 25-09-2013 10:01PM

Yeah, I find it extremely stop-start, that's a fair bit to do with it.

Diabhal Beag · 25-09-2013 10:04PM

I'll be honest with ya cena and tell you that there's a good chance she doesn't know her Tom Flynns from her James Regans. Snobby GAA people are the worst thing about it.

The one thing that annoys me about NFL are the Irish-types who've watched it for 2 years at most and are experts now. I can't remember ever watching an exciting game but that's on my end moreso than NFL.

I don't know all about the NFL. I know the basics.
She is one of these gaa people that thinks she is better than everyone else

If Colm Cooper is your hero you've got some living to do!

GTR63 · 25-09-2013 10:31PM

Tbf Gooch is the Totti of gaelic football. But I can barely stomach watching that stuff much anymore whereas I do always enjoy Hurling.
Watching second captains McDevitt must be getting paid by the number for the amount of times he mentions Dublin winning the sam.

Are you comparing him to Francesco Totti :eek:

Yup cause when everything around him is in chaos or is plainly crap he still stands out as a class act.
No Cooper
No Party

Anyone know if blu rays are region free

Technically, no. But it depends on the individual disc. It's up to the providers weather or not they actually use region codes. Some are, some aren't.

It should say on it somewhere.

Ye all enjoying the black stuff today

Angron · 26-09-2013 03:15PM

Nah, I've never really been a fan of Guinness, or stouts in general.

Lord TSC · 26-09-2013 06:54PM

I love American Football. It's slow, yes, but that's the point. It's about strategy and tactics, like a game of chess. The excitement is in how the players line out and the strategic bursts. It's great, and I'd love to go to a proper game one day.

Angron · 26-09-2013 06:57PM

I think I'll stick with rugby.

Tinie · 26-09-2013 07:00PM

NFL is overly complicated and slowed down, for advertising reasons of course. Theres a reason its a niche market outside of the USA. Doesnt hold a candle to the speed and ferocity of rugby.

Bounty Hunter · 26-09-2013 08:27PM

Prefer college ball in the states myself, could never get over the idea of stopping play for commercials etc in Pro ball

Angron · 26-09-2013 08:27PM

If there's one thing that WWE has taught me, it's that Americans love their ad breaks.

I don't like NFL ether but I dunno if its a niche sport anymore, it's quite big in the uk and over here as well.

The NFL Wembley game always packs out.

Isnt that a one off game?

WWE and TNA sell out 99% of the time in here and the UK, because it's usually only once a year. If they were here every week you can guarantee the sales would plummet.
