I'm not sure how, but there has just got to be a way to blame all this on James McClean.
Has the mysterious, phone-nabbing 'someone' been identified? Could be an opportunity..

I doubt he could pass it onto McClean, as somehow tens of thousands get crushed in the stampede in the effort to get offended by a McClean intervention on Twitter.Quote:

The only viable long-term solution seems to be a complete prohibition on people from Derry using social media. They just can't be trusted.
@Phil_Coulter lol #suckstobefromderry #irelandscallissh!te
True, Stu, true.
A bit harsh on the likes of young Danny, Predator & S v.D. Is Fly from Doire also?Quote:

Thanks AB. No need for any hysteria...Quote:

The Iceman (& Danny) is right.
Most of them aren't interested or are too young, 'I imagine'. Or in faux pomposity masquerading as any sort of concern...Quote:

So there's the answer. Let your PR/ agent manage the twitter account, or at least take her along to the shebeen on nights out. Probably best to ask Dad not to involve while you're at it.Quote:

I imagined that you just happened to be passing through Warrington, when news of Duffy's tweet hit the newsstand.Quote:

None taken. With due respect to Warrington, it's not really on the tourist trail unless you like brewery guided tours.Quote:

The Toffees youth coach has praised the Republic of Ireland under-21 captain's performance against Fulham and noted Tony Hibbert's influence
Everton under-21 coach Alan Stubbs has praised defender Shane Duffy after his side's 1-1 draw with Fulham under-21s.
The Republic of Ireland under-21 captain scored for the young Toffees side and crashed a shot off the cross-bar during the draw and Stubbs hailed the 21-year-old as one of the "stand-out peformers".
Tony Hibbert made a return to action after a four-month injury layover and Stubbs believes that the right-back's presence helped the youthful defence.
"The game was all about [Tony Hibbert] and getting him 60 minutes. That was the most important thing," Stubbs told evertontv.
"Just by him being there is a big help to the lads playing around him. His presence allowed Tyias [Browning] and Shane [Duffy] to play and know the right places where they should be.
"I thought that was evident in their displays because I thought they were our stand-out performers."
Duffy, who has made three appearances for David Moyes' side this season, is the current captain of Everton's under-21 side.
Duffy's scored a few goals for the reserves this season
A Póg Mo Goal piece summarising Duffy's career to date: http://pogmogoal.com/the-blog-reel/u...ack-kid/13436/
Turns out he turned down an invite to Darron Gibson's stag party in Marbella to captain our under-21s against Denmark recently.

Played 90 minutes in Everton's first pre-season game against Austria Vienna, which they lost 2-1. Didn't have the best of games and his handball gave away a penalty, but interesting that Martinez paired him with both Distin and Jagielka. Gibson also played a part in the game and Martinez praised his influence as a senior player.
Next friendly is on Wednesday v Accrington Stanley, who are they?
I'm not sure but I believe Ian Rush said you can play for them if you drink lots of milk.Quote:

no, he said if you don't drink lots of milk, you'll only be good enough to play for themQuote:

Also milk is bad for the bones (contrary to the advertising) those who drink the most milk have the weakest bones.
Obviously when farmers have slaughtered all the calves they ain't gonna pour the milk down the drain hence the heavy marketing.
Fair haired/skinned people tend to be able to digest it, blacks generally can't and don't drink it much.
It's "unnatural" for people to ingest lots of things. Like cooked food for example.Quote:

You're both being silly. It is "natural" for people to ingest anything the human digestive system is capable of processing, ie whatever they can find. Drinking cow's milk might be a bit parasitic but it's certainly not unnatural.
Can or can't? Most people from northern European and other agricultural stock can digest milk - it's quite a common and beneficial mutation.Quote:

No, people who have the weakest bones drink the most milk. Because milk is very good for the bones.Quote:

It depends on your definition of "natural". If you take it to its conclusion, everything humans do is natural, because we're animals, and as such are part of the natural world (and I do realise that's not the way the word is normally used). That's not the point I was trying to make, however. Humans have been drinking animal milk for probably somewhere of the same order of time as we've been cooking our food. If drinking milk is unnatural, cooking our food is as well (and I don't think either is, I know people who are part of the "raw food" movement, and they're a bunch of wild-eyed crusties on a par with the anti-fluoridation and 9/11 Truther crowd)Quote:
