Sure enough, Dan is a "Langer"
I came across this little gem about five minutes ago.
Why do people so love to murder the English language? If they can't be bothered to reach for the dictionary, then why not simply click on "Tools".
For Dan's Edification, I have made one or two corrections. Well Dan, Good On Yer! At least you got out of bed!

REPEAT pitch invasions in[at] Croke Park similar to that witnessed after the sell-out Leinster football final on Sunday carry the risk of injury to supporters and, at worst, the mandatory erection of fencing.
The warning was given yesterday by Stadium manager Peter McKenna who revealed that two stewards had been hospitalised after excited Dublin supporters rushed on to the field at the final whistle.
Additionally, there were reports of children being distressed after separating from parents and people being jostled and bruised in the mayhem. Mr. McKenna said that while pitch invasions were regarded in some places as being ‘a great pageantry and a tradition,’ it was extremely dangerous when you had 81,000 people all trying to get on to a small pitch area.
Short of putting a phalanx [noun (pl. phalanxes) 1 a group of similar people or things. 2 a body of troops or police officers in close formation] of stewards and gardaí around the perimeter shoulder to shoulder — which would be both very costly and provoke aggression — in the event of a ‘serious issue’ developing, the GAA would be compelled to take action. “We wouldn’t even have a decision to make. We would be told to do it,” he added.
[““]However, there comes a point when sometimes it can be safer tallow [to allow] people on to the pitch than to risk a crush at the gates by trying to stop them. All we can do is [to] appeal for common sense to prevail.”
Apparently two stewartds [stewards] ended up in hospital after the dubs ran onto the pitch.
Brainless knackers, I don[']t want a repeat of 99 where we [wernta] weren’t [a]llowed to run onto the pitch at the end.
MAKES ME SUSPECT THAT THE TYPESETTERS ON THE OLD GRAUNIAD CAME FROM CORK!
