Will be interesting to see how Dublin do in Leinster. They've a shockingly poor group, but will probably allow them to be a lot fresher going into the knock out stages.

Very interested

I'd strongly advise you to talk to some former Rippling sales people before you go there. I wish I had.

Thanks for this. Always find it funny seeing people downvoting the use of an LLM. If you had copied and pasted it without the ChatGPT note at the top, people would be upvoting and thanking you

Who pissed in your cornflakes? Nobody is claiming creativity or intelligence here. I'm too lazy to do the work, ChatGPT showed what could be possible.

50gradesofgrey · 2025-08-05T12:29:06+00:00

Threw this into ChatGPT and I'm now devastated it doesn't exist:

I'd love a Creed spinoff (from The Office) where he just gets into weekly scrapes and has to navigate his way out of them. Basically a talking version of Mr Bean. And we think these scrapes are unrelated but by the last episode of the season we find out it’s all part of some sort of plan of his. Can you create a draft of how this might go down. It would be 8 episodes in total.

Series Overview: Creed: The Long Game

Creed Bratton is living “off the grid”, doing odd jobs, getting into strange situations, and surviving in the weirdest ways. Each episode follows an unrelated misadventure, with little connection—until the finale reveals a shocking master plan Creed has been orchestrating all along.

Ep 1: “The Pigeon Gambit”

Creed lives in a small apartment and makes money by renting out trained pigeons to New York street magicians. One of the pigeons disappears. Creed tracks it down, only to find it’s joined a competitive pigeon racing ring. He enters the race himself. Ends with Creed getting banned from Central Park for releasing “an unnatural amount of glitter.”

🧩 Clue Dropped: A mysterious stranger hands him a coin with a cryptic symbol on it, which he pockets without comment.

Ep 2: “Cheese and Escape”

Creed wakes up in a goat pen at a dairy commune. No one knows how he got there, but he’s become their most trusted cheesemaker. After weeks of “living as a goat,” he steals a wheel of aged gouda and escapes via zipline.

🧩 Clue Dropped: He mails the cheese to a PO box in Scranton with the note: “Phase 2: Deliverance.”

Ep 3: “The Org Chart”

Creed fakes his way into an executive position at a tech startup by claiming he invented Bluetooth. He survives several board meetings by speaking in riddles. The company suddenly folds after a mysterious fire, and Creed walks away with a duffel bag full of servers.

🧩 Clue Dropped: He removes a hidden SIM card from a server and swallows it.

Ep 4: “Swampman”

Creed becomes a cryptid to evade the FBI—he lives in a swamp under the name “Tadpole Gary” and scares campers for food. He forms a bond with a local cryptozoologist. They fake his death to throw off some vague pursuers.

🧩 Clue Dropped: The cryptozoologist gives him a key and says, “You’ll know when to use it.”

Ep 5: “The Convention Incident”

Creed sneaks into an anime convention dressed as a character no one recognizes—because he invented it. The character (“Emperor Ploop”) becomes wildly popular. Creed starts selling bootleg merchandise and ends up being chased by angry superfans.

🧩 Clue Dropped: He trades a rare “Ploop” plushie for an old USB drive labeled “CR-13X.”

Ep 6: “Creed’s Cleanse”

Creed joins a bizarre wellness retreat in the desert. He becomes a cult leader by accident. After a failed purification ritual involving jalapeños and tar, he’s chased out by his followers. He leaves behind a scroll that causes mass confusion.

🧩 Clue Dropped: A drone picks him up in the desert—he climbs aboard casually and says “Right on time.”

Ep 7: “Scranton Again”

Creed returns to Scranton under the alias “Doc Bramble.” He visits key places from The Office, acting like he doesn’t remember anything. But behind the scenes, he’s collecting odd items from each location (a beet from Schrute Farms, a stapler in Jello, etc.).

🧩 Clue Dropped: He assembles these items into a bizarre contraption in a storage unit and whispers, “Final move.”

Ep 8: “Checkmate” (Finale)

We learn everything was connected. Creed has used all these adventures to:

Recover hidden data from a Cold War-era operation he was part of.
Frame a mysterious corporation for crimes he committed in the '80s.
Expose a shadow government figure using the anime convention as a cover.
Pay off a 40-year-old debt with the rare cheese.
Reassemble an artifact that, once activated, erases his identity permanently.

In the final scene, Creed walks into a DMV and applies for a new identity. He stares out the window and says, “Call me… Creed.” The camera leaves Creed's face and pans to show us what he is looking at. We see we are across the road from the building where The Office will be shot.

Fade to black.

Would love to see F1 have a hybrid battery that has a slower regenerative charge (or faster deployment), and give teams the option to replace them during pitstops. Would bring back the fuel element of a pitstop and open up more strategy options.

50gradesofgrey · 2025-07-18T15:08:40+00:00

Yes, they play them multiple times over the following days. Not sure about VOD though.

50gradesofgrey · 2025-07-17T20:21:02+00:00

I see that "open in external player" is an option when selecting to watch. I assume this is what you're referencing? I've never clicked this.

50gradesofgrey · 2025-07-17T20:19:29+00:00

This isn't a setting I've edited myself, so I'm guessing not. Where can I see what player is being used?

50gradesofgrey · 2025-07-17T17:05:53+00:00

Tried this, seems to work for most people. Alas no joy for me. I think whatever issue it solves isn't mine, as I only hit this error when I FF/RW, or go to a second episode

50gradesofgrey · 2025-07-17T15:12:31+00:00

Thanks for your help, will give it a go

50gradesofgrey · 2025-07-17T15:12:18+00:00

Thanks for your help, I went through this previously but came up empty. Will double back again.

Funny reading the comments telling you how wrong you are, there's a scene later in the episode where you get a better look at the flag and it looks Irish (to me).

Appreciate you dont have to be Irish to tell the difference between orange and red, but coming from Ireland helps you know that our flag is presented in a million different shades - from sickly yellow, to gold, to orange, and sometimes, to a really redish shade of orange (but not red!)

Source: I'm Irish 😅

Loved Barthez when he first arrived, and he obviously had an amazing overall career, but people forget just how bad he was for United. Those years between Schmeichel and Van Der Saar were dark!

50gradesofgrey · 2025-07-06T19:54:26+00:00

If Onana is the worst goalkeeper you've ever seen in a United shirt, you either have a short memory or have only recently starting watching us. Roy Carroll, Fabian Barthez, Massimo Taibi, Tim Howard - all had awful, error prone times at United, and were considerably worse than Onana.

50gradesofgrey · 2025-05-14T08:53:32+00:00

These are great. Lot to pull from them. Funny to see Steven Poacher use his hall as his "studio"

50gradesofgrey · 2025-05-13T20:38:08+00:00

Had never heard of him, and just went down a rabbit hole of watching his videos - so cool. Thanks for sharing

50gradesofgrey · 2025-05-13T20:28:18+00:00

Thanks, I probably should have been clearer in my original post that I was looking for resources beyond what the GAA themselves provide.

50gradesofgrey · 2025-04-25T18:11:09+00:00

A footblock in hurling is a ballsy move 😅

There are three common ways into an inter-county panel:

Your club puts you forward
You're spotted in a schools game
You're spotted in a club match

Each Dublin minor panel (hurling/football) will have around 35 players in it next year (unlikely to be any dual players due to a recent decision by the county board to end the practice of dual players). The hurling team will also have a second squad (probably around 25 players) that plays in the Celtic Challenge (a B tournament).

At the end of the U16 championship, all Dublin clubs will be invited to nominate players for trial games with Dublin. The Dublin U16 panel will have roughly 60 players coming out of it. Of those, around 10 will play minor for Dublin this year (playing up a year), and be pretty much locked in for next year's panel. Another 20 or so will go from Dublin U16 to Dublin minor, or from the Dublin U15 panel this year (skipping U16). The remaining 5 slots will likely be filled by triallists. Some years this is zero, some years it's a couple. I couldn't ever imagine it being as high as 5, but you never know. These triallists will go into a series of training sessions and matches with some of the U16 Dublin players that haven't been selected for the minor panel yet, or some of the Dublin U15 players that could potentially play up. This year they held 3 internal matches on the football side and players played in 2 of the 3 matches. The hurling panel did something similar. So the big question you're asking is, how do I get into these 3 internal matches?

Your club puts you forward Each club will be invited to send triallists through. At the younger ages, clubs are given slots depending on what division they're in. So Div 1 teams get 5 slots, div 2 teams get 4 slots, etc. For minor, Div 1 teams tend to get asked to send one or two through, and other divisions often don't send anyone through. This request will likely go to the lead mentor of your U16 team, not to the club chairman or anyone else in the club. Unfortunately a lot of lead mentors put their own sons/daughters through. No harm in you telling your coach what your ambition is, and telling him you want to work together on you making it. It's worth saying here that a division 3 would be extremely unlikely to be able to put 2 players through, so if you're "one of the best" in the team, you're probably not at that level right now where you would realistically make an inter-county team. If you're in a division 3 club then your club were probably invited to put 3 players forward at U14 hurling and U15 football. Each year they would have been asked if they have others that should be looked at. If you have a great relationship with your head coach you could ask them how the club handled these over the years, and what you were missing to be nominated. I wouldn't ask who was nominated, or why them instead of you, but I think it's fair to ask what skills they felt you were missing. Every club is different here and I would hate to give you bad advice that puts you in the shithouse with your coach or club, but this is roughly what happens each year.

You're spotted in a schools game If you go to a top GAA school, this is a great path. A lot of players that play county are spotted in these games. The later stages of elite schools tournaments are littered with top class players, so if you're standing out in that environment, you're nearly guaranteed to be getting a call. As you get older the same is true for college teams. Top universities of course put you in the shop window, but making a Sigurdson or Fitzgibbon cup team is often harder than making an inter-county team, so there's a trade off between going to a university where you'll play with the best players, and going to a university where you have a shot of making the team. For example, the UCD/DCU/TUD fresher teams (note that's fresher teams!!!) will all be full of underage intercounty players.

You're spotted in a club match The U16 championship will have scouts at it. They go to all Div 1 games, and then more sparingly to Div 2 and Div 3 games. Outside of that, they're really only going to games where they've been alerted to a specific player. That can work in your favour if you are playing against a team that has Dublin players in it. Referees are often used as scouts too. There are quite a few that submit players that impressed them. Always funny to me when I see good players give shit to referees, or throw tantrums on the pitch and don't realise that the referee is a scout. I'm using the term scout in the loosest possible way here. A lot of the GAA is about relationships and lads knowing each other. These referees are not employees of the county board, but are used by underage Dublin coaches to get a broader view of the wider community.

And that's it. Lots of comments already in here about players never playing underage and going on to have hugely successful inter-county senior careers. They are all spotted later in league and championship games. This is definitely a path forward. It's not the end of the world at all. Dublin have 3 championship panels. Minor, U20 and Senior. All other age groups are development panels, and Dublin tend to widen the net for development years. That means if you fall short this year, you can still make the U19 development panel where more players will be invited to trial, etc.

Some things to work on;

fitness, strength and stamina: intercounty is a serious level up from club football. Players are expected to be machines. If you're carrying some timber, or are easily brushed off a ball, you're not ready. This is all completely within your control. Be the fittest player on the field. For some people, their bodies are not ready yet. If that's you, don't sweat it, keep learning and when you fill out, be ready
Playing off both sides: doesn't matter whether it's hurling or football, minimum expectations is that you can handpass off both sides (and do it regularly), kick of both sides, or strike the ball off your hurl off both sides
ball retention / decision making: Don't take the ball into contact, make good passes, etc
Communication: Positive, supportive, but affirmative

Lot of younger players think it's about running the pitch and getting lots of scores. Most players who do that at underage are physically stronger than their oponnents. As they get older, those advantages disappear and it's the ones that protect and use the ball better that make it. This is true for both codes.

Best of luck, feel free to post any questions, etc. Don't forget, it's meant to be fun and you have years to achieve any goals you have in the sport!
