Just out of curiosity, how long did it take you?
If you can't get parking near PUC it's a pain trying to get back to the city from there and even if you do get parking, it's one road in and one road out so you're sitting in traffic forever.

True enough!

Birds of a feather maybe?

Or I'm just a weirdo magnet but there's only a few of them, they just have multiple user names but the language is always the same and the construct of the posts are always the same.. stands out like a sore thumb

But they aren't overly bright

I obviously bother them for some reason?

It is a nightmare alright. Where in Wexford did you travel from? Did you travel down through Waterford and up through east Cork? A nightmare I would say.

Surely being able to :

a) tell if the goalkeeper has kicked the ball directly into touch from a kickout
b) know whether or not you have been pushed when someone pushes you and
c) being able to count to 60

... should be basic requirements for an inter-county referee?

The ref got the time right, it was sky that made the mistake.

In fairness to cork, they are very sporting in defeat and not sore losers.

I think the Carlow poster made a valid point too that the ref got it right and tv coverage was wrong. Also sometimes refs will tell what time is left in total in the last minute as opposed to added time. So what probably happened here is that the ref said at 19.20/19.25 of ET that there was 3 mins left in the game as opposed to 3 mins of added time.

The farce between Clare and Offaly in 99 was obvious straight away because j think Cooney blew the whistle at 68 mins.

Miskey I meant 98 and not 99.
