Do any of youse think Geordan Murphy is being hard done by AGAIN?

No, not at all. Extremely poor defensively and the only telling contributions he's made at the highest level was to gift the opposition scores.

Daytona, and with that comment anything you ever say again on the topic of Rugby will be suitably ignored. you just proved yourself a total neandrethal and ignorant eejit.

That's grand Liam. You ignore me when it comes to the rugger. Because that's exactly what the majority of us do when you try to talk about football!! And Jayo your not immune to the auld smart comment yourself lad.

jayo

what you talking about kicking something off, just saying that very few people from the North care about rugby. good luck to you if you do. My point is that i dont think too many Ulster people on this site would take offence to Daytona's attempt at provoking a reaction. For the simple reason very few ulster Gaels could care less about the Ulster rugby team. So settle yourself.

Agree 100%, Calzaghe is an absolute legend, seems like a nice guy too. He will be remembered as one of the greats and rightly so.

Unless i missed something or maybe i jumped in with my size 10s. I thought Daytona was doing the usual anti ulster thing, all i was saying was for Jayo and Liam not to worry about it because very few up here care about the ulster rugby team. Apologies if i got the wrong end of the stick.

Breff, GM is class, sheer class. But injury and conservative managment held him back. I think Dick Bests comment that he was the George Best of rugby did him no favours tho, abd was prob to do with his Irishness as much as anything else! Murphy left a glittering international career behind him, but dont go doubting his class. After BOD he is the most naturally talented Irish rugby player i ever saw

Thanks Samin i wasn't trying to provoke a reaction either. Just a tongue in cheek comment.

Im not Anti Ulster Samin. I was joking. Sorry. Maybe I should put that after all my posts when I'm joking. I'm anit rugby that's it. (Not joking).

Ok, a really sad question that has been on my mind for ages. Many of ye will know that I like to argue semantics and can be a "Pedantic Paddy" and myself and Jayo had a bit of a debate about words etc. before (Pigeon and statue metaphor). Just looking at one of Samin10's posts there and it brought it up in my head again. Just picking Samin10 as an example, not picking on his post or wording or whatever. But to get on with it;

In Kerry, and other parts of Ireland, the plural of "you" is "ye", ie. "Are ye going to the match?". But I have friends from Dublin and parts of the North that say "you's" (or however it's spelt). Where has "you's" come from? I know "ye" is an old English word, now outdated and no longer used in the English language. What 2 words make up the word "you's"? One of them obviously is "you", but what's the second word?

Bit quiet in work today obviously.....

Well far be it for me to speak on behalf of Liam but I presume what he meant was that Ulster rugby doing well was good for the national team. Then you jump in with the ridiculous 'Ulster rugby is a situation for Ulster' comment - which smacked to me of something else. So maybe you don't like rugby but when anyone says its important for Ulster rugby do well in the context of the Irish team I fail to see any humour in telling them to cop on. Then again a lot of your humour goes right over my ankle.

Samin - no probs.

meant to put you'se. I have to admitt my use of English language would not be exactly top notch. Would never dream of using "ye". Think thats a Cork and Kerry thing.

samin10 (Armagh) - Posts: 2434 - 12/11/2008 16:57:38    139829

triona - yous is really yous and not you's so there's no ' in it cos it's a simple plural. Yis is slang.

Must be quiet all right lad!!
I would always say "yous" but it's not pronounced you's, more like "yus" if that makes any sense. Don't know where it comes from. Probable from people trying to deal with the fact that the singular and plural second person are the same which can be a PITA sometimes.
e.g."You are invited to the HS Christmas party" Is that just me or is it all the lads?

Here's another one ... Do people mostly use IE or are there some firefox fans out there?

Anyone any idea why Jayo and Liam are so b****y today? Are the painters in girls?
