Jim Duffy Quotations

People who are worried about paying high gas prices are going to be asking, 'Where are my interests in this?' It's a huge Washington issue, but much ado about nothing for the rest of the country.

If it comes down to two weeks (before the opening) and the fair board votes that they're going to have the same ban they've had in the past, we will seek another restraining order. Hopefully, we maybe will not have to do it. I'm still optimistic.

I think when you score first, especially if you do it early, it has an adverse effect because players can say, 'job done'. We knew that was far from the case. At half-time we felt we needed the players to be focused because we had been poor in the first half. We had to wake them up and we definitely started the second half better. We had enough quality in the two goals to do that, although it was a very tense end to the game.

It is always a brave step to try your luck abroad, but technically, Mark is one of the best players around and therefore has a chance of making it.

Irish is entitled to parity of esteem. But that does not mean parity of print runs. Semi-state companies were forced to print equal numbers of Irish and English versions of annual reports, when there was only a tiny demand for the Irish-language version.

Over time, we believe Under Armour has the opportunity to grow the business in international markets and become a player in the athletic footwear, outdoor lifestyle and sporting goods equipment markets.

My thoughts just now are with Graham. He has lost his job, and that was harsh. I feel strongly about that.

I was privy to all the information in terms of the transfer deal and the offer made to the player by Leicester City. He turned it down. He was 100 per cent prepared to stay at Dundee, and take a reduction in wage. Not only were they offering him a considerable amount more than what he was contracted to be paid here, he was actually going to reduce it. In effect, he was going to pay us to play for us!

Issuing a diktat that the people of Dingle can't call their town by the name they've known it has infuriated the local community, many of them Irish speakers.

After Graham had given one or two a kick up the backside they were sent out because we wanted them to refocus. We knew it would be more of the same from Thistle and we couldn't afford to be lethargic. And in the second half we did start pretty well but then we dropped it again.

This arrangement will help Andy decide if coaching is something he wants to do in his career.

This guy's the all-American boy. It's all part of the package and what makes people take a second look. No matter where he goes -- Princeton, Oxford, the NBA, the Senate -- he's a winner. ... And there's a certain naturalness to it for Bradley.

There was no need to discuss that. Graham has 100 per cent responsibility for the first-team. He is the gaffer - that's what Graham wanted to be.

It was a remarkable decision the boy made, remarkable.

The Minister needs to work with Irish-speaking communities, not simply instruct them, as past Ministers did.

If I had to bet on it? I think Washington. They're on a roll. It's going to be very interesting. Whoever doesn't lose it will probably win it. That means whoever doesn't fumble the ball.

The emergence of the global economy and a trend of operational budget reductions has been putting pressure on facility managers to identify areas that could be modified in order to obtain greater optimization and efficiency ... While a standard paper based inspection system satisfies the need of taking actual readings, it does little to ensure the data is complete and accurate and provides no means of analyzing historical data to locate potential bottlenecks, redundancies or other areas that could be enhanced by altering its process.
