(cough) Live scores 28-29/5/11-THE DEBUT

Baggsy the remote control from now until September.

For those who don;t know. I entertain myself of a sunday by watching GAA and telling folk about it as I watch.....nobody listens and that is ok. To prove that point, I am gonna go all RTE on your posteriors and watch the Down Vs Our Ma game delayed. Now depending on whether or not I have to relinquish the remote at any point during the evening, this will either be at RTE pace, or at RebelWife's want.

Lets see how we go, and I'll batter on then into the morra where Tipp whup Cork.

What about preditions RB? I've started a predictions thread for this week (which sadly nobody except Cari seems to have bothered with), are we having a prediction comp this season?

yeah, I am on it!!

very bright evening in our ma.

down shoot two frees early before Jamie clarke scores a cracker.

1-0 to 0-2 early on.

1-1 to 0-2.

Some nice scoring going on here.

Puke, nothin'. Its open and good.

a wet day.....a very wet day

RHB for down marching up the field to score.

Hang on......a mayo man just scored.....


A MAYO MAN........JUST SCORED......IN THE ULSTER CHAMPIONSHIP.
Operation re-plantation is underway.

1-4 to 0-3

Down can't deal with jamie clarke at all. They are fouling all over the place just to get near him.

changes needed

Great stuff from the eastern europeans.

Poland gets a goal for Down but our ma still on top....well on top

1-7 to 1-3

Another point for young padden.....the immigrants are doing fine work this evening.

nice point for young martin clarke

some serious scoring going on in this late night encounter.

Midnight football under 500000000000000watt bulbs is the way forward.

cracking game. 1-8 to 1-6

marty morrissey feels compelled to mention the Kings of Leon at Slane.....but not the other thing that was happening.

just a couple of wides here for the Orchard.

Kevin McKernon is some man for getting forward.....HUGE HOLES behing him....same as last year. 32 mins.

Marty Clarke gets a nice bit of protection from the man in the middle. I don't think too many others are afforded the same treatment, including his team-mates.

jamie clarke fading a bit as the half goes on....maybe they are getting to grips with him a bit.

half time 1-8 to 1-6. The right team in front.

A real quick turnaround at half-time. They must have only paid for the pitch for 75 minutes.....lets hope there are no injuries or we'll be playing the last couple of minutes in the dark.

Level with a couple of quick scores from An Dun in the opening minute of the half.

Martin Clarke is this years darling then.... ...it was a free.

Aaron kernon does the same up the other end.....nada.

1-9 apiece.

The two Brendans are having a rare aul tussle.

Donaghy on coulter....donaghy is winning.

Coulter through on goals....SHOVED off the ball by Donaghy..... ref right in front....nothing doing.

Martin Clarke would have been given it.

Another great free up the other end from Kernan.

Ronan Murtagh on for coulter???!!!

53 mins......hmmm.

No injury. odd. Donaghy was beating Benny but it wasn't a roasting.

1-12 to 1-10 Super game so far. 56 minutes.

looks like an armagh win at this stage
4 points up...4 minutes to go

5 points.....one minute to go.

Well deserved.

late scramble....how it stayed out...no idea.

down a flash in the pan, or are armagh back?

somewhere in between as far as i can tell.

Fine game. jamie Clarke Motm.

Game sounded awesome. Can't wait to see it later, you should get a job doing commentary or live text for RTE. Don't think I've ever seen a championship game under floodlights (just league ones), sounds an interesting change.

I thought 606 was finished, its back up and running again today. I wish those idiots would make up their mind.

I left a broadside against the Rangers at 22:57.....deleted by 23:05.....it was childish....and I have learned my lesson.

It was a good game. i was just waiting for the comeback and it never came. Armagh said they were able....and they were.

I have my championship pants on and my old jersey. I went out to fix the fence wearing my cork jacket....

They are not lucky pants. they are championship pants.

They made their debut last season. It has become a Rebel tradition for when cork play. They were also worn last week.

pen for the dubs in 2 minutes.

Keeper booked.

i am not so sure on first viewing. a pretty poor pen...it kinda bounced in. It should have ben saved by a man on the line...it wasn't.

Goal chance for offally...pointed

1-1 to 0-2

the point for the dubs was well wide too....nice umpiring......

just got in a sat box and it has the Irish TV on it
Go Offaly lol

Offally making subs already.
through injury by the looks of it.

Dooley coming very deep all the time. Shape gone already.

maybe just one too many wides for the jackeens

1-4 to 0-3 11 minutes.

How'd you manage that sharky066?

Vote cari in the election thread btw.

Offally went for a goal on a 21 yard free....a great stop.

Dubs score a free.

1-6 to 0-4

Offally are so frustrating. Bergin took a beautiful catch and shot from a stupid angle and then missed a sideline cut on the near side.

Don't backchat this ref. You will be punished.

The game is drifting a bit now. Plunkett just knocked a lovely score over for the dubs.

Dubs score a free.

1-6 to 0-4

1-08 _ 0-06
got a sat box that works off the net
its mainly a sat box from home
so its great watching sky sports and then you get an Irish from about Killarney lol

goal for Offaly and a good one
1-09_1-07

very good goal.

Dooley is everywhere at the minute.

took the ball on run, shifted it past the full back by stopping and letting him run past and bashed it in.

another free for Offaly...... i mean dooley.

very good game.

HT

1-9 to 1-8.

disputed dublin pen and a clear wide given as a point......lets see how important they are in the next hour.

controversy again.
dublin ahead by a point despite Offaly having put the ball over the bar more times than the dubs.

A square ball given on a monster free from dooley. I don't know whether it was or wasn't. the dubs are getting the breaks anyway.

No repeat on the penalty at HT on rte

1-12 to 1-9 now.

Cheek of them Offaly hoor's giving us a game on our pitch.

RED...not sure why

everything that can has gone to the Dubs today. They deserve to be winning though.

Your pitch?...The game is at croke park...not parnell park

Charity free's for Offaly. The ref is prob anti Dub like you lot.

You still have to put the charity frees over the bar. charity points you get gratis.

This will stand to the Dubs.

BACK TO THREE

bergin moved out the field and doing a lot better.
my man mulcahy just said that on the rte too

3 mins to go

Lovely goal from Cartan.
Moloney trying to give it to O'Callaghan

fair play to the Obamamen. They did well.

Good show from Offaly to be fair to them. I did'nt expect us to hammer them like some people were saying.

dooley had a 21 yard free...and pointed it.

Playing for Dooley, or playing for the county? discuss....

2-21 to 1-20.

great game

I have a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

i am not expecting a whole lot.

LONDON 1-4 MAYO 0-4

HALF TIME!!!

wind with tipp in the first half

great save by cummins early on. Umpire tried to call it wide.....

tipp are 0-3 to 0-2 up.

good game. I don't think cork can keep it up. We are toiling for scores so far

handy free for Tipp....

london 1-7 Mayo 0-9

can't be long left

0-5 apiece in Thurles 19mins

That would be some result for London if they can pull it off, Mayo would never live that down. Cork have started well, I cant understand why people write off team's so much, especially in champ all week ive been hearing Tipp are gonna hammer Cork and Dublin are gonna hammer Offaly.

stapleton jumps on the ball and the ref throws it in. ridiculous.

Donal Og in fine form so far

0-7 to 0-6 to cork

1-9 to 0-12 at ruislip.

I couldnt see anything to indicate we'd put it up to them.

Two years ago the ref gave cork a pen after we scored. we missed the pen and tipp won.

this year they give advantage and a goal for tipp. i am unbelievably biased but that stinks

aaaaaargh.

2-8 to 0-7

eoin kelly with a nice goal after 6 wonderful steps.
