Replying To KillingFields: "Ridiculous to say no need for alcohol to be sold in the ground. it would be loss of hundreds of jobs as well both kids part time and some full time jobs as well which isnt a good thing" Jobs for local GAA people or foreign people? Ridiculous comment about loss of jobs. As the man says, no need for drink inside grounds. But I suppose the D4 people are different.

Replying To Saynothing: "Good man Viking66, your time spent in Coalisland wasn't wasted on you. Ireland as 1 nation and less material things would be grand." And many Irish men and women paid for freedom with their lives over the years. A few bob wouldn't kill anyone.

Replying To Claretandblue: "Adequate parking, a proper fence around pitch, spectator facilities as in a stand or good terracing, dressing rooms a certain size," You'd imagine a scoreboard would be essential to that list also. Or are we only listing facilities to suit your argument?

Replying To Gaagael15: "Sean o Domhnaill on the maroon and white pod calling for 4 divisional teams to be added to senior and reduce the number of senior clubs to 12. Quoting roscommon as where its worked brilliantly but from talking to guy who follows the Roscommon club scene he says its a disaster and whilst they only come in provisional qf stage they've been hockeyed and hasnt had huge buy in form clubs. Don't know when he thinks they're going to play the intermediate championship for players involved in these clubs in what is a compressed calendar without mentioning the limited time in calendar between football and hurling for dual clubs." Fair play to him he won all Irelands and was a good servant for club and county but when I listen to him on that Pod a lot of what he says I would not take seriously

Replying To Pope_Benedict: "I totally agree. Tuchel is picking the form horses, and that's not necessarily the most famous established ones. He's also capping any player with potential, and that seems to be a very large volume of young English prospects. Trending well it would appear for England currently." I think Lee Carsley did Thomas Tuchel a big favour during his tenure, whether it was intended or not I don't know.
In the Greece match at Wembley, he picked a team in what could only be described as a team my young fella would pick on his Playstation. Crammed in all the big names and it was an inevitable mess. Greece played through them at their ease and left with a deserved win.
Tuchel is a different story. There's no "project" here or building a team for the future. He's in the hotseat for one gig only really, and that's to win the World Cup. The likes of Bellingham doesn't seem to have copped on to that fact yet though. He's a big star yes, and a very good player. But if he doesn't toe the line, Tuchel won't lose one wink of sleep leaving him out and denting his ego.

Replying To Saynothing: "Open your eyes and you will see. No they don't benefit mainly our students, they benefit mainly all but our own people because isn't it great to be seen that we're opening Croke Park up to everyone. Well no it isn't." Oh right, we can't be having the 'foreigners' working and paying tax... god forbid that. What a pathetic take, it does show your true colours. Pathetic.

Dublin Hurling - 1 Like(s)
I meant to post this last week but hard luck to Na Fianna v St. Martins. They lost nothing in defeat and can walk away with heads held high. Not a NaF man but had a relation hurling with them.
They were classy in defeat as they were in victory last year.
A break will do those involved with Dublin next year no harm.

Replying To KillingFields: "what do they have planned and cross community and multi sport how?" They have teamed up with the Royal School nearby so I think there hockey Pitches, Swimming pools etc.
More GAA Pitches, cafes bars, and stadium upgrades planned I think, possibly handball courts too
Hard to know if it will all be built.
Couple of links below.

A non runner in my opinion , it worked in Kerry and Cork because there is history of it , and even with that you have less Divisonal teams now in Kerry then ever. What could be looked at is a Divisional Competition like they have been running in Meath , and Dublin have had something similar this year. So Meath have 4 teams they play each other and its a shop window for the County Team
They are playing at the moment so lads that are finished a good weeks with the club . You could have for example
Conamara v City Pearse Stadium on a Tuesday
North Galway v Galway South/East in Ballinasloe on a Wednesday
Have a final on a Sunday , and split the Gate with a charity - think thats what they do in Meath . And its given lads exposure and its had some very good games .
Only an idea!

That seems a bit unfair now" Easkey have to win the Junior All-Ireland to get promoted to the Intermediate Championship. Super isn't it? Please thank me later.

Replying To caltra04: "Barry Mchugh (mountbellew) back amongst the fray too im told. a good free taker with plenty of pace, should be utilised" The day we needed to be utilising Barry McHugh was the 2024 final v Armagh, when we missed anything up to 8 placed ball opportunities within Barry's range. These were made up of about 3 misses, 1o2 landing short, and 2or3 'elected to go short'.

Replying To Pope_Benedict: "That's a pattern we're familiar with though.
While Galway and Tipp were staging three 1pt margin semis 2015-2017, Tipp we're beating KK by 9pts at the 2016 final, while Galway we're losing the 2015 and 2016 Leinster Finals comprehensively, by margins of 6 and 7pts to Kilkenny.
Even when Galway we're clearly at the top of the pecking order in 2017 and 2018, they still needed two days out to see off KK at the '18 Leinster Finals." I remember chatting to former galway hurler his read was galway needed to be 8 to 10 points better than kilkenny to win scrape a win by one or two

Hasnt changed much at all if you look at old footage of Behans filmed in there. Brendan books on display.

Replying To BarneyGrant: "I can see the point in having proper bars as there is in Premium and Corporate but that's probably my age talking as I find nothing attractive about standing cheek by jowl clutching a plastic pint!
Bars definitely took a hit but the older ones still do reasonably well. Gills still a great spot especially when the club games and league are on when its not too mad." Going to county matches a couple of hours early, going to local bars, having the craic looking forward to the match, yes. As you say, standing clutching a plastic pint with the wind howling around you in Croke Park, no.
