Disgraceful Scenes At Half Time - 5 Like(s)

Replying To lilylanger:  "Did they discuss it on the Sunday Game tonight? Nah!!"
There was a brief mention of something happening in the tunnel. But rather than condemn it on the SG they hinted that it was a good thing as it 'woke Mayo up'. As others have said if it had been Dublin, Tyrone, Monaghan etc it would have been roundly condemned.

The match is a foregone conclusion, sport is supposed to be about unpredictability. The public have turned their backs on football

Time To Accept Offaly Are Now A "Weaker" County - 3 Like(s)
Offaly hurling fans need to realise that the 80s/90s glory days were a 'blip' and their level now is more in common with where they were for most of their history. They aren't getting back to the top anytime soon

Arlene Foster At The Ulster Final - 3 Like(s)
I live in a large town in County Antrim that has a DUP-controlled council. Members of Arlene Foster's party fought and fought for years trying to prevent a GAA club being set up in my town. This is empty gesture politics from the DUP, they have a long, long way to go to try and make me forget their past.

How Will The Football Championship Be Tiered By 2021? - 3 Like(s)
The pitiful coverage given to hurling below the top tier should be a warning for anyone calling for a tiered football championship. Below the Dublin/Kerry/Mayo top tier there would be no coverage if it.

The entire country needs to go to level 5 but the All Ireland Championships are still going ahead? Something not adding up here.

Leinster Round Robin - 3 Like(s)

Replying To Jack_Sparrow:  "Well the round robin is to facilitate weaker counties. I see your point about Kildare but Kerry were being trounced in Munster every year. There's very few counties who make real effort at Hurling so we should help people like those in Kerry who are sailing against the tide."
The only problem I have with the Leinster round robin is it's unfair when compared to the sacred Munster championship. A Munster county could lose all its Munster championship games for the next ten years and still be safe in the Liam McCarthy Cup. If a Leinster county loses all its Leinster championship games for the next ten years they will end up in the round robin and eventually relegated to the Christy Ring Cup. Why should Munster counties only be protected from relegation to the Christy Ring Cup?

2021 Congress - Ban On Joint Captains Receiving Trophy - 2 Like(s)
It's not the most important issue but what's the need for 'joint captains' anyway? Make one person in the team the captain as it always used to be, problem solved.

Tipperary v Armagh - 2 Like(s)
If Tyrone beat Down and Monaghan beat Carlow who will Down play in round 4B? They will have played both Armagh and Monaghan already in the Championship. Will a draw be required?

Who Can Challenge Dublin In 2019 - 2 Like(s)
Nobody will challenge them. The GAA have a real problem on their hands, the football championship is a busted flush. I used to never miss a game but barely watched it this year. Ironically the hurling championship was great and has probably never been more competitive.

Three of them on the same side of the draw as Kerry. My money's on the Kingdom to progress to the final.

Colm O'Rourke was nearly 38 when he hung up the boots for Meath so no surprise he's nearly 60 now.

Mayo V Tyrone All-Ireland Football Final - 2 Like(s)
I'm not sure Mayo can ever win Sam again, It's become too big a psychological hurdle. Look at the way they panicked in that second half.

Limerick against Waterford. All Ireland Hurling Final 2020 - 2 Like(s)
HS report on the final claims Limerick are 'the first team to rack up 30 pts in an All-Ireland final' but Kilkenny did it in 2008 (3-30) against Waterford.

Lost Revenue - 2 Like(s)
The fact that the GAA are content to let Div 4 remain unfinished should be a big wake-up for those calling for a 2-tiered championship. It shows the GAA have no interest in weaker counties and any 2nd tier championship wouldn't be promoted at all, much like the maligned Tommy Murphy cup.

Return Of The Championship - Excited ? Not Overly Bothered ? - 2 Like(s)

Replying To CiarraiMick:  "This was the year the Gaa had the chance of an open draw and bottled it once again. It was perfect for it."
Open draw is not wanted by the GAA because Kerry/Dublin might not always make it to the latter stages
