I didn't read a lot of him but certainly felt he was a good poet. There was a piece circulated this morn from some Marxist publication in 95 having a go at him. Didn't read it, merely glanced at it. Marxist writing can be such drudgery at times. Don't know how bad or good this piece was either. If I can find it again I will post it.

I'm not much into poetry..Just heard Seamus Heaney passed away. Was he as great or good as Yeats?

Bob Dylan & Hank Williams (JMO) were poets who put music to their words.

Basically how good was Heaney?

Wow you're a rare breed Aine (I'm assuming you are female)..

A woman who understands and likes football.

Itsjustmacker,

don't touch it during the day myself, at least not in the house. I was offered a pint in Dublin today after a funeral but decided to head on home. That is some value you got in Barca. Great. Love brandy but have taken to the rum as of late. Downed a bottle of poteen during the week there. Did it over three separate sessions mind you. A bottle here could lie around for months at times.

Suarez should definitely be let go ... i think Liverpool and it's fans have had enough patience with his bullshit. I agree that Agger needs to stay.
I hate the idea of rooney's connection to Chelsea .... leaves a foul taste in my mouth but then with Chelsea they tend to do that a lot these days !! I am however pleased as hell to have ole Jose back at the helm!!!

The one thing that i always question is how these teams we support can do things that go against our principles (well mine does) and yet i sat excitement watching the few pre season games (except the real madrid slaughter that didn't sit too well) funny old thing sports !!

Anthony:

Brought back 6 bottles from Barcelona, 3.85 euros per bottle, 36% proof, but it goes down well.
I don't touch it during the day though.

Dave,

Agger can't go in my view. The defence is the least solid aspect of their game and without him at the heart of it it can only be weaker. Skirtl has gone off the boil and maybe should have had a Reina moment. The team would miss Agger in a way it would not miss Suarez.

Itsjustmacker,

I am getting lazy too ... away to read a novel here! Wish I had your brandy!

After that interview, he is asking to be allowed to leave the club.
He has bitten more than he can chew this time, BR should sell him.

As for Rooney , to me has got gotten lazy , more big headed and he needs to go as well from Manu.

50,000 tickets for tomorrow's Celt game sold out in 20 minutes. For now, the Reds still have the X factor. Selling Suarez and Agger for a combined £ 75 mill makes sense.
Spending the cash wisely is the tricky bit. Can't see beyond Ch, Mc, Arse , Mu & Spurs finishing top 5. Still, the Reds have had a terrific pre-season, 13 for, 1 against, 5 wins from 5.
If they don't qualify for europe, BR will deservedly be going the same way as KD.

Man United have a similar problem with Rooney. Personally I'd sell them both the highest bidder and buy three new players.

This season should be interesting with the changes at Chealski, Utd & City..

These are the best two live football/sport streaming sites I know about.
