come on lads the craics gone out of it,
it should be disbanded, move on to something else with more appeal,
tradition is all well and good, but theres no point in allowing your principles to dictate your future,
grasp the nettle now and bring in something more interesting, i'd much rather as i've said before see a masters game up in ruislip,
just to see the oul lads batter off each other and see how funny they think it is when the they are lying in agony waiting for the stretcher and some lads quips that mickey joe nancy has gone home for the tae and he has the key of the medical room in his pocket.

lets have football that is relevant to london, leave the testimonials and 1 game media frenzies for someone else, we need structured growth, not a load of pundits taking a photo of a big crowd and saying jesus this is great

the interprovs in Ruislip would be good.

personally i think the GAA should be reaching outside its typical catchment and playing one of the international rules games (a third test) in a cricket ground in or around London in front of 30,000+. The AFL wanted to do that, I remember reading somewhere, but it obviously didnt happen.

The AFL already played a number of club exhibition matches in London in front of 10-20,000.

Why are these kind of ideas never tried these days? I know the wembley matches used to take place in the 50s but these days none of these big ideas are done to promote the GAA abroad. The recent All-Stars tour to San Fran was basically an end of season jolly for the players and it not about serious competition.

Another idea would be to do the same with the football league final.

I would sincerely hope the Interprovincial final would fill Ruislip. The GAA always go on about tradition, yet this competition has been surviving because of one man for a few years now. Disgraceful.

I hope Ruislip gets the final, and I for one will be in attendance.

Separating Training Myths from Fact - followed
i think burned out and bored of are confused every often.

Lads just get sick of giving up their weeks for 6 months and after that start to lose interest. as cat says its other interests that take priority, not all of what he said either....

Separating Training Myths from Fact - followed
you will never never ever get burnt out training 2 nights a week and playing every other weekend. No way.
What burns players out more than hard training is the hassle of getting to and from training, then sharing the tube home with a load of short sleeved t shirt stone wash denim wearing square heads.

The biggest disrupter to a season is when lads play other sports, train for marathons etc instead of concentrating on the sport that god have us.

provincial football is dead and gone.
Do i really care if munster hammer ulster in hurling. Erm the answer is no. I'd much rather club football games be increased to 45 minutes a side so less talented players can make up in fitness what they lack in skill. A bit like soccer. This woul create a more equal playing field and leave clubs less reliant on prima donna's.

Well my cockney buddies. As far as ratings are concerned how wud you think John mitchells of ;liverppool wud be rated in the london leagues and championship. Fairly High i wud expect after the hammering they gave taras as highly rated as they are mitchells are surely be 2nd or 3rd in the above ratings. What you think

fixtures 2009
does anyone know if the fixtures committee will produce a master fixture list again this year?? surely it cant be that difficult to do given the number of teams per grade in league and championship. i know they done this in recent years and things have improved but i feel more should be done so that games are played when scheduled and tables and fixtures are on websites and updated weekly. other sports such as soccer,rugby,darts pool to name a few are abit more organised/professional when it comes to these matters and its time we stepped up and carry our great games forward

Review of 2008
Have to agree with the posters above. You can't expect NO championship games to be played on a Sunday just because there are games from home on TV- what happens at home????
