Replying To DermotTrellis:  "Open Letter to R.T.E. Dear Joanne, This is the sixth time I have sat down to pen this missive and I still haven't found the words to describe the anger I feel towards your panelist Anthony Daly. Daly's comments with regard to Gerry O' Connor's actions in Cusack Park on Sunday last were among the worst I've seen from any R.T.E. pundit. To those of you who didn't witness the Daly's heinous condonation of violence, Daly suggested that O' Connor's man-handling of Daniel Kearney was justified in that it got the Clare supporters and player's going. His quip that 'Maybe this is exactly what Clare needed', made my blood boil. And Daly's justification for this? Who knows? Probably some rubbish about it being a tough week for Clare hurling, about how a county that worked so hard to build a winning tradition in the nineties were being dragged back into the pre-Loughnane days, how many Clare players were the subject of pernicious personal attacks on social media in the week leading up to the match, how Clare hurling had become a spittoon for any lowlife who wanted to aim a hurling hocker at a county that had two bad games. etc. All hogwash. How dare Daly take pride in his fellow county man attempting to rile up the crowd in Cusack Park? I would like to compliment you for your brave riposte- 'Just because it gets the players fired up doesn't make it right'. The disdainful, politically correct look you then threw at Daly left him in no doubt that savage parochialism and pride in one's county is no longer tolerated on our airwaves. Kudos to you Joanne. So why Joanne, wasn't Daly pushed out the door along with Messers. Loughnane and Farrell?.The latter two should have been got rid of years ago. Their humorous anecdotes, easy manners and sense of humors were an affront to the G.A.A. public. The new batch of pundits are much more engaging. ( With the exception of Daly of course). On Sunday's, I usually have a tipple while watching the pre-match analysis. And what better accompaniment to my whiskey on the rocks than the monotone-voices of Tyrell and co? I can pay no bigger compliment to them than say I have often fallen asleep listening to their explanations regarding the new role of the inter-county sweeper. I heard from a reliable source during the week that one pundit was offered a contract by a sleep therapy company recently to be the voice of a new teddy bear that will help children who suffer from insomnia to sleep. R.T.E. must ensure that pundit is not lured away. Daly's change of heart at half-time was refreshing. Fair play to you Joanne or to whoever scolded him for his actions. I watched with pleasure as both Daly and McGrath blushed like to schoolboys and muttered some rubbish about the actions being unacceptable. Nothing like reminding someone that their job is on the line to get them to change their tune heh? They love their traditional music in Clare and it is now high time Daly danced to the tune of political correctness. Kind regards, D.Trellis P.S. Please inform Marty Morrissey that he doesn't have to remind us that Aidan Walsh and Eoin Cadogan are former dual players at five minute intervals . P.P.S. I have enclosed masking tape which can you use to muzzle Daly the next time he gets riled up."

Replying To royaldunne:  "Last meeting was 9234. 65000 at Meath v Offaly (closer to 8k ) but sure we will leave it at that. Carlow will come"

Replying To sligo joe:  "Just one point regarding multiple C. O'C type players, maybe just have a look at a point he scored against Roscommon in the Q/Fs this year, coming out from goal at speed he caught a 40 metre pass above his head, the rossie defender came under him from behind forcing him to land on his heels at 45 degrees, wonderfully kept his balance, leaned into the defender with his left shoulder, spun on his left foot, and slapped it over the bar, just a composite of the array of skills this guy has coming together in one play. If you believe there are multiple players around that would even attempt to execute a score like this never mind achieve it perfectly, names on a page please, you won't need much paper. By the way Clifford is a super talent. Con is the best forward on the best team in the land and not one of many equals playing with numerous counties now or in the next 5 years."

Replying To hamsterdean:  "Jason Foley gets away with a lot of pushing his marker when opposition player has ball in hand.referee need clamp down on him."

Replying To TheUsername:  "No Kingdomboy, no capital grants were given to Kerry last in 2019. You need to read the accounts. Though 13 million was given by the ISC and Munster & GAA in the preceding financial years, inclusive of additional GAA and Munster allocations for Currans COE and the Sports Campus in Tralee."

Replying To hurlorhurley:  "Wexford by 15-20 points on Saturday evening, a few pictures with the Joe Dolan statue afterwards."

Replying To Fionn:  "As I posted about this on another topic - this was started by those kerry lads - they were only a few feet away from us and were giving it loads from the start of the game. Dublin fans asked to stewards to calm them down but nothing was done. Game ended - the slagging started as the were leaving and they lost the plot. Lets just say they were very lucky they were in the section they were - full of older Dublin fans and families, otherwise if would have been a lot worse for them. Dubs showed huge restraint except one guy who should not have reacted. Gardai and stewards were told about them at least 5 times before this happened and no intervention was forthcoming. Do you not think kerry fans were have been shouting from the roof tops if the Dubs had started it.....??? People are very quick to throw dirt without knowing first at whom the dirt should be thrown at...."

Replying To Condorman:  "Spillane is so biased it's untrue.Mayo were rubbish yesterday and would have lost to any of the other Super 8 teams. Dubs hit 5-18 in a great exhibition of open football and he say SFA about it."

Replying To MuckrossHead:  "A couple of very cranky Kerry lads on here this morning. It was a great game & a draw was a fair enough result. Yes we can debate a few things but no need to go all Jimbo on it."

Replying To republicofcloone:  "It's bizarre but the most vociferous of defenders of Dublin on here appear to come from other Leinster counties. Counties the Dublin juggernaut have pummeled into irrelevance. It's a touch of Stockholm syndrome I think. Never mind the team spending. Check out the sponsorship and how much their county board have to fundraise each year, minimal amounts compared to other boards including your own who have to constantly fundraise to keep teams on the road. Why on earth would Croke Park do them favours. How much funding did Croke Park give any county in the 90s?"

Replying To ConnollyDub:  "Knew the culchies would be upset by this ;) Anyway one thing I've noticed on here is the amount of kerry posters that constantly moan and try to discredit this teams achievements. The big bad dubs are here to stay lads the GAA is finished bla bla bla... Doomsday merchants. You can just tell they are hurting big time. They can't stand this Dublin teams success!! Wasn't a peep out of them when we were winning nothing. Sure they loved us... And why wouldn't they... Considering we are their biggest rival in GAA yet failed to beat them in championship football in 30 years. Along comes a golden generation of Dublin footballers and they haven't beaten us this decade... So of course it must be the money. Just like the excuses they rolled out when they couldn't get a win over Tyrone in the noughties, too rough that Tyrone side they said. Very sore losers that lot ;)"
