I couldn't see him having been much use under a high ball in a cold, wet February game in Navan.

I've got to say that cheered me up no end, hilarious. But David bowie was a icon to me growing up in 70s and 80s, so I am all for it. Think the guy reading it out was a little too sensitive.

It was discussed on off the ball last night. Even the discussion was funny.

The thing is nobody should mock the dead, but the lad who put in the note was taking the p*** out of the top table, not Mr. Bowie.

Honestly lads i thought it was brilliant. the image in me head of some gaa delegate saying the name back to himself amid ripples of laughter, realising what he has just said and then proceeding to scald the bold class of children :)

In light of that fact, I wonder then, did they express sympathy with The Mercury Family in London on the death of Freddy back in '91

That would be the Zanzibar Mercury's Goldrick, not the London Mercurys :)

He scored 2 points from midfield for Kells alongside Xabi Alonso in a county final.

i did tthink it was funny but then someone pointed out what about the other names called out of people who had actually passed away, most of the people in the room would have known them and I can completely see why they wouldn't like how it'd been turned into a joke.

Also apparently the Bowie song "Boy's Keep Swinging" was a major influence on the Meath squad in 1996. Colm Coyle was particularly fond of the song and it became a kind of unofficial anthem.

Meath GAA certainly needs some Changes.

Will the Clare County Board be expressing similar sympathies to the Rickman family? He was Dev after all!!!

RIP to another great talent, I've a Die Hard/Michael Collins/Galaxy Quest marathon lined up for tonight
