Regarded by many as the greatest playwrite in the English language, His plays (and poems) are studied, dissected, analysed and re-analysed with a fine tooth comb by millions of people all over the world. For those who dont know, I am of course talking about William Shakespeare. Although nobody can say with any great certainty how many plays Shakespeare wrote, The consensus of many people who study literature for a living believe it to be around 37. What we do know for sure however, Is that some of his plays where tragic. Some where funny and uplifting, while others remain controversial to this very day. One quote - from one of his comedy plays, The twelfth night, waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 20/05/2014 19:08:59 1590929 Link 0 |

Dubs are average. No proper hardy defenders. Michael Darragh hasn't caught a ball in his life and can't kick the ball either. Paul Flynn is merely a better looking Brian Dooher. MichaelO (Tyrone) - Posts: 820 - 20/05/2014 20:08:34 1590963 Link 0 |

Unlike Shakespeare, who paraphrased a few times, and was influenced by the likes of Plutarch, Ovid and Xenophon of Ephesus. Dublin are able to rely on their own ability and strength in depth rather than borrowing from the Kerry, Donegal and Mayo playbooks. if_in_doubt (Kildare) - Posts: 3685 - 20/05/2014 20:28:12 1590986 Link 0 |
