And yes, I fully expect this to be moved Mary Ann's, and rightfully so. But there are enough passionate sports fans on these boards...and I suspect more than a few Irishmen, that maybe this can be tolerated for a few hours...
hansen {l Wrote}: it's a shame henry will be probably most remembered for this play ; he's such a great player and yet this will probably be his legacy.

I am not sure when this whole "the mods move everything non BC football related to MAs" started, but it is flat out not true. While this is a "football" forum, we encourage other sports discussion on this board. We kindly ask the politics and other non-sports discussion stay in Mary Anns.
Long story short, this and other sports topics stay on the main "football" board.
hey shocker - who are you slapfighting this post against? i didn't see any complaints

I think 81 has really gotten to him. Take it easy shocker, everytihing will be ok.
By the way, I think this should be moved to the Kelley Rink Board. Hockey and soccer are more aligned given their foreign origin.

It has nothing to do with 81 getting to me. It is that he has permeated this attitude of "I am not sure if this belongs on the main football board" into people's mind. This leads to people questioning whether they should post something and thus increased risk that we may miss out on it. The long time posters know (and I hope the newer users have come to figure out) what everyone here enioys and should just trust their instict.
In the end, how many of the moved threads are started by people OTHER than 81?

Bryn Mawr Eagle {l Wrote}:When I first saw this I thought, "What's the big deal? Bad calls (or no calls) happen all the time."
Then I read this on CNN:
"Irish Justice Minister Dermot Ahern entered the fray Thursday, saying in a statement that he was petitioning Ireland's governing soccer body to demand a rematch.
For the uninitiated, this is akin to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder demanding that the NFL make the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins play again because of a disputed fumble in the end zone."
Crazy.
