What a day to be a kildare man

I always taught when the game was in Newbridge that Kildare had a great chance. I said it during the week to a few lads that if Kildare stuck with Mayo and were withing 2-3 points with 10 minutes to go that they would win. Mayo had lost Parsons and Seamus O Se. I felt that Aidan O Se would be jacked with 15-20 minutes to go especially with the heat. I did not see the game and was unable to listen to it on radio. But I imagine that midfield was the key to there success

While Kildare had a poor Leinster championship and picked up no points in the League. The only lost to Monoghan, Tyrone and Donegal by 1-2 points. they had 4 away games in the League I think and Tyrone and Monoghan were two of them. When Kerrys' form started to dip in the League they had to go down to play them but lost by 5 points and they had to go to Salthill where they lost again by about 5 points to Galway.

The Super 8's if they make it may well bring them on . CON is not a bad coach just had a poor run of luck since he took them over. They will not fear any of the for provincal losers. While they might struggle in the S8's I do not think they will be steamrolled either, Kerry and Dublin are the only teams that they would fear there if they get there.

Is this a patron saint or just a weird statue?

Might be Saint Isidor the farmer I think.

It's a mosquito bite

Cork fans behind the goal in Thurles are some knob jockeys.

I went to have a snooze there and when I pulled back the blankets there was a small lizard on the pillow! The youngest lad is always playing tricks with his plastic lizards so I picked him up but he wriggled like mad, I thought this is the most lifelike one yet. Dropped it on the floor and he scurried under the bed, it was a real one.
Can't find him now , I suppose that's what we get for leaving the doors open all day for the last couple of weeks

You should have licked him, got the cure of the burn!!
Helicopter arrived here to take the chappie away.

Ambulance was there as well. I dunno why the helicopter was too tbh. But i guess they have their reasons!

It's to do with access and speed to hospital. God only knows what condition the patient was in or was the ambulance needed elsewhere. Patient could be in Dublin hospital now

Ah sure they'd be afraid of a broken neck especially at high speed on water.
Someone else made the call for the heli on the ground.


You know there's something wrong with you when you're ignoring the helicopter in the picture and are fixated with the grass.

Edit: Lh's post above explains it.

Was he a tourist?

No, came from Drumlish road so either there or Longford. Eastern European though.

I can only say what i seen and heard! Maybe the bang on the head meant they were being safe rather than sorry. Anyway, am off to bring in bales on my lovely Massey now

Sometimes they will use a not so critical incident as training, seen it done near here before and it was for a broken leg too.

Ah here..if its only a broken leg..thats a bit much..bro came off a quad once...broke his ankle... we carried him to the car and horsed him.

:eek::eek::eek:

Wherever you're from, for your brother's sake I hope that means something entirely different to what it means here!

If not, I suppose it took his mind off the broken ankle...
