2019 State Aid Free Championship

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


On current form, Donegal v Kerry will reveal the best of the rural challengers. I think it'll be a draw.

Best example of what, the gender pay gap?

The Connaught champions were made monkeys of by State Aid.

In fact both Mayo and Roscommon have looked off the pace. Meath at least have been competitive, being up away to Donegal with 15min to go.

Cork put up a decent fight. Hopefully Munster Bye qualify from the other side. Pity ye didn't make it last year.

very disrespectful post to two counties. Your own county has plenty of money.
By the way, your own Mick O Dwyer let the genie out of the bottle and was the first to challenge the amateur ethos when he made "his good deal" with Adidas. And don't forget the Bendix ad. Ye started it all.

Fair play to Monaghan and Galway for getting through. If Galway had beaten Monaghan to avoid playing your crowd in the semi-finals, we would have been your semi-final opponents instead.

State Aid receive a bye to the Leinster quarter-finals and are seeded to avoid fellow semi-finalists.

Kerry receive a bye to the semi-finals but could be drawn against their final opponent in that semi-final. As you know, Kerry won the Munster Championship without any home game.

Donegal are a difficult opponent. My prediction is a draw.

Kerry is a humble rural county on the southwest coast of Ireland. We have fought a good fight on behalf of rural Ireland for many a year.

Killarney, Ballybofey and Dr. Hyde Park showed some of the good of the rural game. Their is that professional gap. Some people find it difficult to understand. The RFU across the water have invested in a professional English team. People can watch the professional English women for free. The RFU say it's an investment and they hope other countries will follow suit. For now the English professionals dominate an amateur competition.

Yes that still leaves us with 3 games just to get out of Leinster. Kerry PLC won an AI by playing just 3 games in 1980, 3 games!!!

Don't dare say to a Kerry man that competing in a handy Munster Championship has definitely helped them massively in their quest for Sam.

HUMBLE!!! You represent the underside of most people. The sort of people with their inflated sense of entitlement and nasty begrudgery. The sort who have never bought another man a pint except with someone elses money. Not one of the Dublin team is a professional GAA player, you are stating a lie.

There is nothing humble about Kerry supporters. It's well known.

Just reading through the posts here trying (and failing) to figure out what ye're talking about, and only one thing is clear; ye're awful foolish to be engaging with someone who has no interest in anything but winding ye up. I'm always surprised when people can't spot WUMs and try to engage.

I hope you're including yourself in the humble part of your post?)
