Dublin shite and 5 points up at half time? Handy.
5 points up, not sure the exact score. Something like 2-4 to 0-5. Both the goals were own-goals, bizarrely. Dublin shot about 3525497867 wides in the first half hour.
Thats good, boss and colleagues will be hungover tomorrow, easy work day
Edit: just got home and quickly checked the score. All equal on points going into the last minute. Sounds like it's been a good match!

A fucking draw. What anti-climactic bullshit. Why are final replays still a thing in 2016? It WAS a great game, though.
Can't wait for another two weeks of ridiculous hype for the replay.

A draw, I was hoping it would be all done and dusted after today.
Now I will have to listen to them going on and on for the next two weeks on the radio.

I think they only do one replay and if that also ends in a draw it goes to extra time/penalties. Similar set up to the FA Cup.
At least everyone knew ahead of time what tge deal is. There was a hurling final a few years back that ended in a draw. Everyone stayed on the pitch preparing for extra time and the GAA staff only decided there and then to do a replay two weeks later instead.
The only one who benefits from the replays are the suits behind the GAA...
Also, isn't the Autumn weather great? First time in months that I walked to work and wasn't sweating buckets upon arrival. Ireland's finest boys and girls!

I started a new PLC today, and its the worst. Bunch of kids in there, I feel like an old man. People are the worst.
Wouldn't be surprised, my GF is doing a course and practically everyone in it course is a selfish cunt (and I don't use that word much). I remember it from my time there too. You'd swear you were still in 5th year the way some people are in college.

The most annoying ones will be gone within a few weeks, trust me.
It's a post leaving cert course. Mainly for helping to get a post leaving cert job or getting started in further education.
ah gotcha, sorry still used to GCSE's and A level's, not junior and leaving certs.
@TheOnlyOne, what type of PLC are you doing?

Anyone in PaddyGAF getting Forza Horizon 3?

I'm interested to try it's HDR mode, but I'm waiting on a deal on the XB1S. None of the bundles interest me, so I'd like to just get the console itself.

It's liberal arts access to university thing. It's the third time I've attempted it, and I think I'm too old for this shit.

In higher education, nobody cares about your age. I went to college with a woman in her mid-40's, so I can tell you first hand it's not going to be an issue.

I'm getting it on PC, so no HDR for me hah. Want to try out Co op.
Nah man, as @Markittron said, you can never be too old. Is it a course that you want to do or do you feel compelled to do it?

Irish GAF, I need you to help me settle a debate with my fiancee. Which of these is the better comedy film with Brendan Gleeson:
Or
I say Calvary, she says In Bruges
I definitely wouldn't say Calvary is a comedy, but it is a fantastic film. Better than In Bruges for sure.
Both great films. This thread is making me think that I need to rewatch Calvary if I think it's a comedy!
My wife just finished her second degree as a mature student, she started it in her late 30s.
Mature students nearly always do better then the kids. I work for a college. Usually they allow mature students in with an interview no matter what you got in your secondary school. You might be asked to do a pre-year in something though. Most of the university have access programmes. Did you talk to them?

Love both of those films but that's an easy choice. In Bruges all day long! Colin Farrell/Brendan Gleeson > Brendan Gleeson/Don Cheadle. The scene with the slightly large Americans and the tower still makes me cry...

I didn't, to be honest. I only turned 23 this year and it said mature students have to be 23 by 1st January. Plus, I've been a little unmotivated recently.
Dont know if it is possible, but could you take the year off and come back next year for the same course? Some time off may allow you to try other stuff and decide if this is what you really want to do or not.
It's well worth getting in touch. Most of them are very approachable.finding something you're interested in can be life changing.

How Gerry Adams is allowed walk the streets as a free man is beyond me.
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-37425809
For anyone interested in keeping count:
Gerry Adams ordered the murder of a man in a cattle shed using breeze blocks (And they didn't start at his head)
He covered up the sexual abuse of his own niece
He had the widowed mother of 10 murdered

But of course the mouth breathers who support Jarry will deny, deny, deny.

Winter is coming...
Ay, isn't it great? At least when it's cold, you put on a northface. When it's hot and your office doesn't let you wear shorts, you either wear a skirt or you get a really sweaty bollocks.
He's a bit of a dodgy duck alright, if all the previous allegations haven't stopped him, I doubt anything will...

Trained for 15 weeks for the Dublin half marathon
Turns out the buses are on strike. Fuck. I guses I'll come up with something because I didn't lose 5kg and buy a pair of shorts for nothing.
Fuck these bus drivers though.

I'm 100% committed to winter jumpers already.
got a water resistant UA hoodie from lifestyle and a gifted Paul Smith scarf from my mum, come at me winter!!
It'd be the same as me saying "clegg" is the real head of the IRA who's been ordering the murders of everyone. They've no proof beyond 1 guy 11 years after the fact saying "yeah I'm pretty sure Gerry ordered it".
He even says "I know from my experience" which means he has jack shit on Gerry Adams for it and is basically throwing shit and seeing what sticks

Don't care right now if it warms up again temporarily. Cold weather suits me to the ground.
Also, Dublin Bus is a shit service, more fucking strikes and now I've gotta get the dart home instead of the bus.

Fairly bitter out tonight. Prefer the cold though. Gives me a use for all me wooly jumpers.
Have to be around the RTE direction tomorrow at 8. First commuter train to Pearse + Dart + walking from Booterstown. Hopefully just make it in on time.
I can't believe nothing has developed regarding these fecking strikes.

I think if you live in Ireland, chances are you prefer the cold. Those in the office that look at me funnily when I say that, I just think if you liked warmth and sunny, you would have moved somewhere else a while ago.
Also, went into my local gamestop to check out Yo Kai Watch. 45 fecking yuros!! Checked other 3ds games. Monster Hunter generations on 3ds is 55 yuros! Since when did 3ds games cost as much as some console games or is that an Irish gamestop thing?

That spotlight program was no better than a Sunday World article, I'm sure Gerry has done things but there was a peace agreement and a ceasefire, people decided to forgive and move on.
Also the word of a tout is worthless, according to that show the British Security services where in control of the Belfast IRA via "hundreds" of informers and high placed agents.
It was a very dirty war and many people are walking the streets today who did a lot of bad things, if we go back to wanting revenge then this process will go backwards.
As for the mother of 10, he presented to the police and they didn't charge him and there is no case against him.
I'm a republican and believe me, I have no love for Gerry Adams but that spotlight program was nonsense.
I love the cold and can't wait until winter proper begins. We didn't get a winter last year so hopefully this year is better chance of cold.
That's the price of games this generation. Smyths are slightly cheaper but not by much. Nintendo games hold their price.
