Anti GAA Agenda - 8 Like(s)
Replying To brisbane: "One thing JPs kind donated has shown is the lack of pro Irish parties currently in the country. Every party is socially far left extremely pro globalism. If parties are anti nationalism the GAA is a target going forward.
Sinn Fein are fake nationalists. labour,greens,pb4p, soc domos are all far left and don't pretend otherwise. FF/FG are globalists so the GAA need to prepare for less and less support from government" What a load of extremist right wing claptrap!

Provincial Titles Are No Longer Relevant - 8 Like(s)
Replying To ColinWex: "At least for football the provincial championship have become very irrelevant and boring. Leinster is basically Dublin. Munster Kerry, then you've Galway and Mayo, ulster is half decent.
It's no-longer a viable product. People want to see the best teams play each other in the summer and there are lots of uncompetitive games in the early stages before the real stuff kicks off.
I feel they should just collapse the Championship and league into one and make that the proper comp. Maybe then they can have an FA cup type knock out comp in there somewhere." "Then you've Galway and Mayo".
Last 6 Connacht Senior titles
Galway 2
Mayo 2
Roscommon 2.

Ros 2021

Replying To dolfos: "My excitement levels are about a 3 on the back of this, more utterly pointless games piled on top of others.
Monaghan v Clare

Replying To legendzxix: "Is it still April Fool's? Do you know the words to the national anthem?" How much taxpayer's money has that Longford buck wasted that he can't understand simple Irish as used in a match commentary?

Cluxton fully deserved. Cant argue with defence and midfield. But seriously a Roscommon player makes the team? Sligo was all they beat in the All Ireland SFC??" Div 1, beat Mayo, drew with Dublin, weren't stuck in the Tailteann.
Enda was our man of the match in around 90% of games in 2023.
It's an individual award and well deserved.
To have someone from the faded aristocracy of Meath questioning his selection is beyond belief.

Anyway enjoy Div 2." Must be hard going carrying a permanent bag o' spuds on yer shoulder!

Sunday Game 2022 Fixtures Announced - 6 Like(s)
Replying To MurphBalls: "The Ulster Championship is hardly a poor product? In Munster, you have Kerry. In Leinster you have Dublin. In Connaught you have Mayo and Galway. And in Ulster, you have 5 teams that can win it. Armagh and Donegal being probably the biggest provincial game of the lot along with Mayo and Galway you would expect should be a must televised game." Last 6 Connacht Titles - Ros, Galway and Mayo 2 each.
Neutrals will watch the SHC in large numbers esp Munster.
Only very interested people would watch a live football match any more.

All Ireland SFC And Tailteann Cup 2023 Clarity - 6 Like(s)
Replying To legendzxix: "A lot of people thought that. The GAA seemed to clarify recently that that is not the case. The Leinster and Ulster finalists will be given two weeks to get ready for the group stage. It seems that all other teams will play the week after the Leinster and Ulster finals.
1. Munster and Connacht finals.
2. Leinster and Ulster finals.
3. All-Ireland group stage Round 1 excluding Leinster and Ulster finalists. Provincial finalists at home.
4. All-Ireland group stage Round 1 featuring Leinster and Ulster finalists. Provincial finalists at home.
5. Round 2 for all. Provincial finalists away.
6. Weekend off.
7. Round 3 for all. Neutral venue except for Dublin! :-(
8. Preliminary quarter-finals (2nd at home v 3rd)
9. Quarter-finals
10. Weekend off
11. Semi-finals
12. Weekend off
13. All-Ireland Final!" Counties need to kick up over Croke Park being sneaked in as Dublin's "Neutral" game.

Replying To Tirchonaill1: "The man is just stating a fact that's worth knowing, the 'famine' may seem a long time ago to you but some people have longer memories.
You'd be surprised at the local knowledge of the time that has been passed down through the generations. The marks are still on the ground of the potato beds that were never dug
Here's a book for you read if you are fond of reading, it will give you a flavour of the time in Donegal at least and I'm sure the similar stories were repeated all over the country.

Replying To Freethinker: "Any thought on Donal O'Gs comments on football. I personally thought they were OTT. I think he got a little carried away with his flowery articulation of his thoughts. Pat Spillane tore into him over them but I thought that Colm O'Rourke's riposte was classy." He's just another hurley snob.

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" Those who have a problem with A na bhF will find a new reason e.g Stadium names, trophy names, using Gaeilge etc.

Promotion Of Our Games - 4 Like(s)
Replying To tearintom: "The promotion of our games is non existent.
Another fatality of the sea change thats occurred in the GAA within the last few years, this obsession with the actual "game" part of our games been something to get out of the way as soon as possible.
All so a junior b footballer somehwre down the country can have more certainty as to when they can take a holiday but increasingly looking like its simply being used to cater better for the yearly jolly off to the USA who seem to be the biggest beneficaries of the split season, job done Mr President!!
There isnt the time to probably build up to and promote big games anymore, everything must be got out of the way asap. Take this week, do you start a big promotion push for the Hurling final when theres 2 big football semi finals on this weekend? after that then theres 1 week to to the hurling, then 1 week to the football. Simply isnt time.
The promotion and build up to big games used to be great, its not the destination, its the journey that you remember, The biggest games in our organisation are coming up and each one will have around 6 days focus on it and opportunity to promote. Why does it have to be like that?" To enable Club Championships to be treated with respect.

'Benefits' Of Integration - 4 Like(s)
Replying To BarneyGrant: "Got mine during week. I said that I thought that the LGFA and camogs had forgotten why they had set up independently in first place. Games have thrived under them. Separate but equal sometimes works!
Also said that LGFA has failed to defend integrity of women's football against those attempting to have biological males involved, and that I would fear that this may become a Trojan horse within GAA as a whole after integration." Yep there are tens of thousands of people transitioning to female so they can play Ladies gaelic football.
Get a bit of sense Barney.

In the meantime stop being killjoys and let us brighten up the dreary month of January by laughing at their loss to London.

Back to the topic, why is the 6pm Final on a Friday night?
Does JP think all the players are full time professionals?
Will the CC reimburse the working players who have to take half or full day off work?
Of course it should be 2pm Sunday in the Hyde with 3 or 4,000 spectators.
