Dublin Getting 2 Home Games In The Super 8s. Fair Or Unfair? - 8 Like(s)
Over the years the Gaa has changed from being a community based organisation to a money making organisation. Fair play is gone look what kildare had to go through just to get what the draw siad they should get. The sky super 8s no different .
All Ireland champions and croke park residents getting 2 home games would have the tin hat brigade screaming conspiracy .
And the only answer the people are given is the need for money it gets spread around all the counties. I love the gaa and at grass routes it remarkable but go to county level and its sickening the imbalance and pandering done to keep the big teams happy.
Dublin should have to play in a neutral venue the same as all the other teams in the sky super 8s.
More to life that money. There's a reason why people call it the grab all association.

Tyrone Red Card Appeal - 7 Like(s)
Replying To Saynothing: "Players head nearly hit ref because he pulled his head back not because of force. Shouldn't have happened but if it's not overturned players might as well take up tennis." Tyrone fan saying it should be cancelled whatba surprise, even though he hit him in the face twice. You should be thankful he did not hit the deck but I suppose he didn't ruffle his hair which can be nearly fatal in Tyrone.

Dublin Getting 2 Home Games In The Super 8s. Fair Or Unfair? - 5 Like(s)
Replying To Fionn: "The format was known about ages ago. Provincial winners were always going to meet in Croke Park for the 1st games.
Donegal won the Ulster championship weeks ago yet only now the management have an issue with this fixture.????
Have they been asleep for the past 2 weeks or what.?
Why was it not brought up before now..???
This is a distraction and will back-fire on Donegal.
Very strange decision to go down this route at this stage by them.
If Counties feel so strong about Dublin playing in Croke Park why isnt it brought up at Congress or BEFORE the Super 8's format was Agreed.... Money, that is why - county boards benefit from gate receipts...
So much hypocrisy going on here...
All a nonsense to bring it up now, but I expect nothing less from certain people." I don't expect Donegal to win whether it is home or away , what Donegal and are doing is trying to make sure it that the competition is a level playing field for all and not weighted to any one county as is the case now. With all the Dublin fans telling us they like to travel , it smacks of hypocricy here.
If kerry were in the Dubs group and they had 2 games in kerry and the dubs had 1 in dublin we would all hear about it.
please help us keep the competition fair to all.....

The Fairness Of Playing Laois V Dublin In Croke Park - 5 Like(s)
Replying To Malonemagic: "Not that it would make any difference to the outcome, but can anyone explain the fairness of playing Laois v Dublin in Croke Park today ?" Talk to your county board they where at the front of the line 15 years ago when they voted to move as many dublin games as possible to coke park. It was about promoting gaa in dublin with the added benefit of making dublin gaa as strong as they are. Money apparently does not get you success . So laois should be embarrassed about thier downwards spiral .

Replying To Tadhg2020: "Now how can anyone respond to one anecdotal example without knowing anything about the offence charged with, offender, probation report, mitigating circumstances etc.
As I've said before, serious criminals dont tend to accumulate 147 previous convictions. Habitual petty criminals do. Thats just a fact. Serious crimes carry lengthy sentences. Less serious crimes carry shorter or non custodial sentences. Then there is the entitlement to bail and the presumption of innocence.
Nobody wants dangerous convicted criminals in society but there is due process. There is also a limited number of prison spaces. Thats a reality." I don't know whether you mean to or not, but you sound like you are giving serial offenders a free pass because they maybe petty crimes. Are there no victims to consider ? It is our justice system their to protect all of us. If some of these serial offenders went to jail that would have reduced the amount of crimes they could commit and in turn reduce the amount of victims.
Yesterday a man was sentenced to 5 years for a hit and run where a 34 year old mother was killed
''The court was told that he had 16 previous convictions, including five under the Road Traffic Act, two under the Larceny Act and others connected to Covid regulations while operating a licensed premises''
5 of these previous convictions show a clear disregard for driving on our road, maybe if we were a little less lenient on these that man would have learned is lesson, but we where lenient and he clearly did not and unfortunately a young mother paid the price. In my opinion we need to be a little less lenient as the current position is not working with reoffenders.

The Musings Of Tom Smith - 4 Like(s)
Replying To tomsmith: "Tomsmith here from County Cavan
Listening to Ireland call on Saturday evening and looking at the 100 % Irish participation in every word of it I wonder if iot was played before Gaa games instead of the National Anthem would it appeal to more people to participate from the wider community. The Gaa is somewhat lost to a large group of people in for instance Nothern IIreland .
It would be worth considering if we were / want to atrack people who have an allegiance to an non EEC Country" I don't think the national anthem is holding anyone back from playing GAA, and if it was those are the kind of people that no organisation should be looking to have in their fold.

John Kiely Comments - 4 Like(s)
Maybe people should be asking why counties need so many players in the squad in the first place . Over 30 for a game that only starts 15. This squad nonsense has got out of hand in the last 20 years and they should be reduced. Both in football and hurling. Keilys comment in normal times are 100% right but we are not in normal times. They are lucky to be allowed to play. They should enjoy that fact, instead of giving medical advice to the nation.
We have not covered ourselves in glory with recent club championships across the country remember.

Colm's Challenge - 3 Like(s)
What is it only dublin cannot see the imbalance in the Gaa when it comes down to the treatment of dublin. They always harp on about dublin being an asset . Look at the shit attendances in the Leinster championship in the last 10 years . 1m+ of a population In dublin and the cannot break 55k at a Leinster championship match.
Gaa is a national sport not a Dublin sport. Let's remember that. For me we should reduce the squads. Reduce the subs reduce the playing time by 10 minutes. This will not effect the quality of the game but make it fairer on the majority of the counties.

Who's all star Michael Murphy had a bad game against mayo where he scored 1-5 . Maybe tipp could roll over and let kerry tickle their bellies . Sorry that's what the usually do ;-)

Hurling Championship 2026 - 3 Like(s)
Replying To CTGAA10: "One match I'm actually delighted to get out of..limerick hung in there when it just wasn't going right..Clare will probably wonder how they lost it..Kelly missed a huge goal chance that would have put it beyond limerick..
Clare probably lucky that either cleary or Lohan didn't get 2 yellows..on the other hand people will say Nicky was very lucky to escape,only thing in his favour was Duggan hadn't control of ball..definitely the rule needs to be looked at..
Limerick weren't at it for most of match and Clare produced their best performance of year..delighted by the win and really looking forward to next 2 weeks..
On another note best of luck to Shane o Donnell in whatever he does next..a superb hurler who lit up hurling for years..a gentleman and a great ambassador for the Gaa.." hard to control the ball when you are being hit in the head and tripped in the one movement ;-)

Murphy did nothing except play football on Sunday and take hit after hit from Kerry players all day long, with no reaction.
That show you the class of the man, unlike the Kerry supporters who let themselves down.

I hope you are never walking away from someone and they then hit you in the back with a hurley. Don't forget Gullane is 6ft+ and probably 14 stone of muscle.

Dubs V Mayo - 3 Like(s)
Replying To Joxer: "Are you actually saying that Small went in to connect with McLoughlin's head? If you are then you clearly have never played the game. It was a shoulder tackle. It's part of the game. Small meant no malice. A ref, linesman and commentators all agreed on that. It comes with the territory." The pro dublin ref linesman and commentators all agree. A lessor tackle happened to a dublin player in first half game stopped. Happened to a mayo player ah play on.
The ref the lineman the rte commentators all let themselves down yesterday. Dublin got away with 2 red cards and a number of black cards that the ref choked and gave yellows.
