"Tomorrow approximately 40,000 shoppers and 10,000 vehicles will visit the town's 3 shopping centres, about 15,000 will descend on the town's clubs and pubs and hotels. A high percentage of these people will come from the hinterland and Northern Ireland and will be mixing and mingling in confined environments. In Cooley they cull the animals from the flock that produced the positive result and leave the bodies sitting in the corner of a field with crows and magpies crawling over the carcases. Yet the only restrictions are imposed on 1,200 that watch to go to a football match on Sunday afternoon. We're being patronised in to accepting this bullshit by the use of terms like "national unity" and "all shoulders to the wheel". The cancellation of Sunday's game is cosmetic and should be seen as such."
Stephen's fantastic posting on the hypocritical reaction to foot and mouth
"Now let me guess which is "BUTCH"?

"If your directors had been able to read they might have noticed that they were sitting in the season ticket holders area. Explain to me how a monaghan person would hold a Dundalk season ticket. These people were directors of monaghan and hence were entitled to sit in the official directors area. As for the elderly couple...do me a favour...she was handy enough with her fists..."
The Voice shows his appreciation of boxing talent
"This is true. Last night (sun)i had a dream that we were playing UCD in playoff in longford (not flancare)just an open field with a wall at one end.For some reason i did not travel with travel club but brian K drove a minibus down ,the bus was full but don't have a clue who the rest of the people were.Anyway to the game ucd go 2-0 up and MM has words with T.byrne & wardy which results in wardy being sent off and MM going home.As the game nears its end about 20 mins left Brian says we are going so we all hop on and go but a bit down the road we stop and i get out and run back to game and stand at wall talking to David Staunton and p.staunton who are talking about dundalks goal scored by left back (by a header )Daniel Mc Donnell,but stranger was to come as the equaliser was scored by paddy quinn from a cross by me who stopped the ball going out and when nobody was looking i lashed it in and paddy got on the end of it. Needless to say i was happy until we scored the winner which was made by John logan, LOGIE the chairman of supporters club and scored by marty, life long fan .After final whistle ran up road ,caught Brian and went home happy.Had to give MM a lift home. Hope this does not come true "
