    8 weeks ago decided to get fit again. Lose weight. Cut the drinking. Something about looking at that big 60 getting nearer and nearer. Scary.

    I've lost 16 pounds. Only 5 pounds more to reach my target weight. Running 5k three times a week. (C2 5K a great help)
    Back lifting weights in the gym (OK my hay barn if truth be told) Found a new part time job, I'm semi retired. Been off the drink for a while.

    But today, feck it, beers in fridge. Lamb in oven. Home grown veg prepared. Merlot breathing at the correct temp.
    Dublin v Mayo on TV.

    I'm going to enjoy the day.

    Fair play, wish I had the motivation. Few beers won't kill you.

    Following Mayo may cause side effects such as vocal chord damage and heart failure.

    God Dublin are dirty. 2 Blacks and a Red. Should have been more. Poor game in truth but the last 10 minutes was exciting.
    Empty bottle. Not good. Must rectify.

    I don't get the logic behind a black card sending a player off and allowing a replacement

    Is the logic to punish the player but not the team?

    I find it a very odd rule too.

    A foul is a foul and the black card still allows a team to commit a foul while still staying at 15 men.

    Bizarre really.

    Yeah, only one team were dirty there today alright :rolleyes:

    Did you see the injury to O'Carroll off the ball after 5 mins? 10 stitches in a facial wound, gone for the game... I'm sure he hit himself, the dirty Dub.... ;)

    Connolly deserved his red card but it was for retaliating after he was grabbed around the head and dragged to the ground, again off the ball. I'm sure the nice Mayo man was only trying to give him a friendly hug... :rolleyes:

    2 Blacks and a red says it all really. How many free's did Dublin give away?
    Agree with other posters about the black card. Utterly daft rule.

    The GAA tried a sin bin but didn't want it. This is a half way house. It punished team and player. After 3(?) black cards you cant replace the player who is black carded.

    No they don't if yellow. They face discipline committee if red carded. Is no citing system really...

    Ah ok so three blacks and you start losing players, still a bit daft

    If there is no punishment for yellow or black cards what's the point of them? Sorry for the dumb questions am comparing it to rugby where a yellow is ten minutes in the bin and possible citing
