Common Sense, Pat McEnaney, the West and this Forum
I'II do a boxty and try and address all these issues in one long winded no apparent use thread.
1. Common Sense, not wasting a €100 plus on seeing your county get walloped in Kilkenny tonight but getting in the good books and have €20 to go to a party tonight even though your "only visiting friends".
2. Pat McEnaney, to make a decision you apply some notion of sense. To just apply "common sense" might not take you to Kilkenny but it certainly doesn't legislate between what is a free/foul and what isn't. People have this notion that refs ruin games the don't players and mentors do because
A) they try and cheat
B) they don't know the rules
C) they really don't know the rules.
In certain aspects common sense can apply and a good examples are
1) if you don't see it don't blow it, players tell the truth (pull the other one)
2) Let the play flow ---- a big no that is not your job, that is the players job.
3) if a lad had taken 4/5 steps and is been pulled out of give him/her the advantage and allow them an extra step or two to try and break the "attempted tackle"- which I find they generally do.
4) trial by media is bullshit because hindsight is 20/20 bull, real time look at something and make your mind up very easy to "persuade someone after 50 views from 30 different angles"
5) Ref a game yourself and see how many of the rules you know, I posted 10 questions a while ago on this forum no one got the 10 correct say the max was 5/6 out of 10 from respected posters in there armchairs.

Boxty I would like to apply for position of head boxty chef grade 5 with a promise within 5 hours I will train myself up to a grade 1 chef for the pan and the loaf.
This recession might do what cromwell could never do and with the schemes boxty has up his Cavan sleeve made in Ukraine we might all be heading over there. Those ghost estates in Leitrim will be filled yet!!!
boxty like your bet for the AI very very shrewd.

Salt???? A nice, lavish smear of real butter enhances the taste.....A mug of natural buttermilk is a bonus..
Salt..

LOL. Good job I didn't ask about pepper so Boxty!
I had to make do with Dairygold light. Not the right stuff for new spuds so I reckon it's not the right stuff for Boxty either. I'll live and learn though.
