TYRONE WIN SETS UP NOVEL SEMI-FINAL PAIRING

Tyrone’s win over Dublin in last Saturday‘s All-Ireland quarter-final
sets up a new All-Ireland semi-final pairing as they will take on
Wexford for the first time at this stage of the championship. Wexford
won the last of their ten Leinster finals in 1945, eleven years before
Tyrone won the Ulster title for the first time. While there’s no
semi-final or final history between them, they did meet in the
All-Ireland qualifiers in 2000 when Tyrone won a first round game in
Wexford Park by 1-9 to 0-10. The counties also met in a National League
(Div 1) semi-final in April 2005 with Wexford winning by 1-8 to 1-7.
With provincial winners, Armagh, Dublin and Galway all losing
All-Ireland quarter-finals, Cork are only provincial champions still
standing in the title race. It’s the first time since the introduction
of the qualifier system in 2001 that three of the four provincial
champions failed to win the quarter-final.

If Kerry beat Cork next Sunday it will be the first time that all four
semi-finalists will have come through the qualifier route.

 

Kelly: Justin decision justified

In the aftermath of Waterford’s thrilling All-Ireland SHC semi-final win over Tipperary at Croke Park on Sunday, the Deise’s Eoin Kelly admitted that he and his team-mates felt justified in their decision to hasten a change of manager early in June.

‘We didn’t like doing what we did. Justin was a nice man and a good hurling man, ‘ Kelly told the Irish Daily Star.

‘But we thought we were just missing that little something that we weren’t sure that we’d get out of Justin.

‘We felt that we needed something to get to an All-Ireland final.

‘There are lads in their 30s that have never played in an All-Ireland final. All they wanted to do was play in one.’

Kelly, who notched up a personal tally of 1-10 against the Munster and League champions, also revealed that what Davy Fitzgerald had actually brought to the Deise party was hard to pinpoint. 

‘It is hard to put your finger on it, ‘ the Passage attacker added.

‘I suppose hard work is doing it, both on and off the field.

‘In our diets too. I suppose we weren’t doing that the last couple of years.

‘All the little things help.’





 

Railway station planned for Croker

 

By Dick O’Brien

A new railway station is being planned for Croke Park. Iarnród Eireann is expected to have high-level discussions with the GAA to open the new railway station at the GAA headquarters.

It is anticipated that the GAA would make a significant contribution towards its development costs, given that the new station has the potential to deliver a large amount of fans to the stadium on match days.

Croke Park is situated adjacent to the Sligo railway line, which serves stations in Boyle, Carrick-on-Shannon, Mullingar, Enfield, Kilcock, Maynooth and Leixlip. A spur on the line serving Dunboyne and Navan is planned for completion in 2015. The line terminates in Connolly station in Dublin, which is in turn connected with the Wexford and Belfast lines.

However, the real benefit of the station will come with the construction of the planned rail interconnector between Heuston station and Pearse station in the city centre. This has the potential to allow Iarnród Eireann to deliver trains directly to Croke Park from locations such as Cork, Limerick, and Galway. The interconnector is scheduled for completion in 2015.

The main problem facing any plan for the new station is the logistical challenge of moving large numbers of fans on and off trains on match days. Croke Park has a maximum capacity of 82,500 people, and were a new station to prove viable it would have to be able to accommodate large numbers of matchgoers.

Humour

Golfing with Perfect eyesight

Arthur is 90 years old, and has played golf every day since he retired 30 years ago.

One day he arrives at home looking very depressed. “That’s it,” he tells his wife. “I’m giving up golf. My eyesight has gotten so bad that once I’ve hit the ball, I can’t see where it went.”

His wife sympathizes, and as they sit down, she says, “Why don’t you take my brother with you, and give it one more try.”

“That’s no good,” sighs Arthur. “Your brother is a 103!!! There’s no way he can’t help.”

“He may be a 103″, says the wife, “but his eyesight is perfect.”

So the next day, Arthur heads off to the golf course with his brother-in-law. He tees up, takes a mighty swing, and squints down the fairway. Quickly, he’s lost it again. He turns to the brother-in-law, and asks him “Did you see the ball?”

“Of course I did!” says the brother-in-law. “I have perfect eyesight.”

“Where did it go?” asks Arthur.

“I can’t remember.”

Betting on Mary Lou

A man was quietly reading his paper in the family room when his wife sneaks up behind him and whacks him on the head with a frying pan.

“What was that for?” he says. “That was for the piece of paper in your pants pocket with the name ‘Mary Lou’ written on it”, she replies.

“Two weeks ago when I went to the races, Mary Lou was the name of one of the horses I bet on”, he explains. She gives him the evil eye a bit longer but then feels satisfied with her husband’s response. She apologizes and goes off to finish some housework.

Three days later he’s again sitting in his chair reading when she nails him with an even bigger frying pan, knocking him out cold. When he comes to, he asks, “What the hell was that for?” “Your horse just phoned.”

 

Actual stupid questions asked in Court

The below excerpts appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune. They were taken from real court records.

Now doctor, isn’t it true that when a person dies in his sleep, in most cases he just passes quietly away and doesn’t know anything about it until the next morning?

Q: What happened then?
A: He told me, he says, ‘I have to kill you because you can identify me.’
Q: Did he kill you?

 
Q: She had three children, right?
A: Yes.
Q: How many were boys?
A: None.
Q: Were there any girls?

Were you alone or by yourself?

Q: I show you Exhibit 3 and ask you if you recognize that picture?
A: That’s me.
Q: Were you present when that picture was taken?

Were you present in court this morning when you were sworn in?

Q: You say that the stairs went down to the basement?
A: Yes.
Q: And these stairs, did they go up also?

Q: Now then, Mrs. Johnson, how was your first marriage terminated?
A: By death.
Q: And by whose death was it terminated?

Q: Do you know how far pregnant you are now?
A: I’ll be three months on March 12th.
Q: Apparently then, the date of conception was around January 12th?
A: Yes.
Q: What were you doing at that time?

Do you have any children or anything of that kind?

Was that the same nose you broke as a child?

Q: Mrs. Jones, do you believe you are emotionally stable?
A: I used to be.
Q: How many times have you committed suicide?

So, you were gone until you returned?

You don’t know what it was, and you didn’t know what it looked like, but can you describe it?

Q: Have you lived in this town all your life?
A: Not yet.

A Texas attorney, realizing he was on the verge of unleashing a stupid question, interrupted himself and said, ‘Your Honour, I’d like to strike the next question.’

Q: Do you recall approximately the time that you examined that body of Mr. Huntington at St. Mary’s Hospital?
A: It was in the evening. The autopsy started about 5:30 P.M.
Q: And Mr. Huntington was dead at the time, is that correct?
A: No, you idiot, he was sitting on the table wondering why I was performing an autopsy on him!

 

Made In Japan

There was a Japanese man who went to America for sightseeing.

On his last day, he hail a cab and told the driver to drive to the airport.

During the journey, a Honda drove past the taxi. Thereupon, the man leaned out of the window excitedly and yelled, “Honda, very fast! Made in Japan.”

After awhile, a Toyota sped past the taxi. Again the Japanese man leaned out of the window and yelled, “Toyota, very fast! Made in Japan.”

And then a Mitsubishi sped past the taxi. For the third time, the Japanese leaned out of the window and yelled, “Mitsubishi, very fast! Made in Japan.”

The driver was a little angry, but he kept quiet. And this went on for quite a number of cars. Finally, the taxi came to the airport.

The fare was $300. The Japanese exclaimed, “Wah…so expensive!”

Thereupon, the driver yelled back, “Meter, very fast! Made in Japan.”

Sunbathing

A woman, spent almost all of her holiday sunbathing on the roof of her hotel.

She wore a bathing suit the first day, but on the second, she decided that no one could see her way up there, and she slipped out of it for an overall tan.

She’d hardly begun when she heard someone running up the stairs.

She was lying on her stomach, so she just pulled a towel over her rear.

‘Excuse me, miss,’ said the flustered assistant manager of the hotel, out of breath from running up the stairs. ‘The Hilton doesn’t mind your sunbathing on the roof, but we would very much appreciate your wearing a bathing suit as you did yesterday.’

‘What difference does it make?’ she asked rather calmly. ‘No one can see me up here, and besides, I’m covered with a towel.’

‘Not exactly,’ said the embarrassed man. ‘You’re lying on the dining room skylight.’
