I heard that this has been moved to a later slot for this week as the Harps performance was such a horror show that it was rated for viewing by over 18's only.
a bit off topic is your team semi-pro or pro?Quote:

Every team that plays in the Brandywell always order in a good lot of pizzas after the game.
Sean Connor used to do the same thing at Bohs. Don't think it's that unusual. It's just energy replacement.Quote:

I've thought about this... I think our back four have the dope and beers before the game..... that's why we ship silly goals.....
Our players normally go for pints after the game builds a better team spirit than pizzas.Quote:

A few slices of pizza (bread and cheese - carbs) to re-energise yourself after 90 minutes of running isn't going to ruin a week's diet of chicken and pasta (more carbs) and boosts team spirits while giving them an excuse to sit down and talk about the game just gone instead of hopping onto the bus with earphones or into their cars and going home.Quote:

80 percent of the teams in the league get pizzas after game.
then then went on the ripQuote:

Pizza's are not that bad to eat for sports people. If it were burgers & curry chips i'd be getting worried.
I remember Cork hurler Sean Og O'Hailpin saying that many of the Cork team eat pizza as well. One of the few treats that they are allowed to have.
Jaffa cakes are another energy giving treat that sports people enjoy.
I know some Harps fan said that Parkhouse was booked initially for a nothing foul and I agree. Can't see what he's been booked for in the first place.
I think Kevin Hunt is a great addition to the panel. He is a lot more relaxed than the other lads.
I thought Hunt looked very nervous. :confused: Shame he won't be on again though.
Mixed show this week but having the live updates from Richmond Park was a nice touch.
Parkhouse must be eating Domino's 16" Double Decadence, extra chessy crusts with multiple dips....i reckon a few packets of meanies too once he hits Ballyboofaay.
Rovers fans acting the 'Gay' Bryne wishing Hunt all the best..shock horror:eek:Quote:

I don't know what Mackey was on about regarding the second booking. Throwing or kicking the ball away in dissent has been a mandatory, non-negotiable yellow card for about fifteen years, and everybody at every level of the game knows it.
Got a picture?Quote:

I saw a load of empty pizza boxes in the overflowing bin at the Showgrounds prior to the Harps match on Saturday.
Time for a PizzaWatch thread with estimates and accompanying league table? :confused:
Thought Foy left? :confused:Quote:

"That's only because the away team brought half of them. You'd think a side at the top of the table would be able to eat more than that. :rolleyes:"
"What would you know about pizza boxes? You've only managed an average of 2 pizza boxes, a hotdog wrapper, and a plastic bottle this season. You only eat when you're winning!"
Our lads would have to run around in the shower to get wet if that was the case. :oQuote:
You only eat when you're winning!
To save me watching it online lads, did they show anything from Pats in the UEFA Cup
Yeah, showed highlights of all the Euro games. Showed the shot off the bar that you said was missing from the other highlights.Quote:

Jason McGuinness's two bookings were a joke,commentator in our game got a great dig in at Sligo GAA:)
on the subject of that game,and the other main subject in this thread (pizza)...did anyone notice the size of the ref at that game...he was massive!Quote:
