theres funny stuff on here,and untruths. brian cowen was a very gifted footballer.he wasnt put on the offaly minor team in 1978 because of his father(usually a poll topper so he hardly needed to be forcing his son onto the county minor team).he was one of the best players on it.how do i know?because i am the same age as him.and i was involved early on but didnt make the championship team.in fact i can also confidently say id have a county minor medal only for him.as clara beat us in the final that year by 2 points.he was the difference...he also graduated to the u21s the following year as far as i rememeber.he also player senior for a strong clara team around that time before his political life got in the way. so who ever was "the county chairman" who told you what you say he might be an imposter!!

RING demonstrates the apparent conflict between what quantum theory tells us is true about the nature and behavior of matter on the microscopic level and what we observe to be true about the nature and behavior of matter on the macroscopic level -- everything visible to the unaided human eye.
