What's the bit with the woman putting the cat in the wheelie bin?! I've no sound.
It's interesting that TG4 came up with the idea. Suil eile.

What's the bit with the woman putting the cat in the wheelie bin?! I've no sound.
Back around 2010, there was a video from the UK that went viral of that auld hag putting the cat into the bin. Animal cruelty basically. But because Tipp were playing Kilkenny, it became a sort of metaphor for what they hoped to do to the Cats 5 in a row. There were loads of signs depicting a Tipp person putting a black and amber cat into a bin, with phrases about stopping the 5 in a row.

Did I say she wasn't.
All I'm saying is that I believe that there are others far more worthy of a commissioned Laochra Gael than her, both male and female.
I'd like to clarify that I didn't mean to agree with him fully, I just felt that she was just picked for it ahead of others due to her retirement being more recently than others, as well as being on SportsJoe's live Facebook show.
I don't think she has retired.

Starts Wednesday the 28th, lads.

We should be ashamed of ourselves because we don't know who the f**k Aisling Thompson is? I'd say 95% of the country hasn't a f**king clue who she is. Another bull shit peddler you are, quick run and find a black, transgender, Syrian refugee that they can make a loachra Gael about.

Cork camogie player, fairly tough stages in her life, couple of All Irelands. A very interesting story no doubt.
Has there been a Laochra Gael on Angela or Ann Downey, or Liz Howard? Or even Fiona O'Driscoll. I'd have thought they were much more deserving of Laochra Gael status, but Aisling's story is probably more intriguing.

The Downey's were featured a few years ago. Don't think Liz Howard was, but I could be mistaken.
I only find the Aisling Thompson one odd in that she's still an active player as far as I know. Surely they could have waited until she's retired at least.
Looks like LG are going for less episodes (only 5 this season) but have doubled the length of the show. Will probably suit some players. Others not so much.
I just know Lar's edition is going to be comedy gold.
He's so earnest about everything.
I remember the documentary they did about him a few years ago where he was describing the laundry system his Mam has for washing his gear. :)

TG4 decide to do a programme on you? It's not a lifetime achievement award......it's a decision by a television programme to commission a programme on your life and moreso your gaelic games career. I suppose you should be a "Laoch"....Ashling Thompson fits the criteria, have no doubt. She's definitely one of the most recognisable camogie players of recent times (along with some of her teammates) and her own personal story is inspiring.
Re: AZ's question above there was one done about Angela and Ann Downey in 2004. That's the only other one to feature camogie players. From ladies football we've had Juliet Murphy, Cora Staunton, Niamh Kindlon, Annette Clarke and Cliodhna O'Connor. Out of 130 episodes. Obviously that's too many for some of our Neanderthal friends.
Perhaps people should contact TG4 with their ideas for "more deserving" candidates?

Aisling has a bag full of AI medals and seemingly a far from normal path through life to date, so no wonder TG4 wanted to do a show on a GAA star with a different story to tell.

Obviously missing the point. By talking about her issues she can hopefully help others (probably an alien concept to yourself judging by your post). I think there's plenty of evidence to show she and many others have helped others by telling their stories. If it bores you then that's unfortunate but I still think it's a price worth paying. Just be grateful you don't suffer in this way.

And it's definitely Derry, not anything else.
Great show usually, but outstanding tonight. I really enjoyed it, what a player Tony was.
Have her taped but still grabbed last ten. Legend
First words I heard "Dobson's had a dung spreader" or similar 🤣🤣
No matter where you're from you can't not love Tony Scullion.
Great watch. A true legend of the GAA.

Cheers Estimator 🤓 looking forward to watching. Yous are lucky to have him
One of the best yet, the expression of joy on his face when telling of him getting picked for the Derry u21's was brilliant, then he didn't want to bother with the new socks in case he'd miss the start of the game, brilliant!
Really enjoyed that, Tony is some man for one man. There's not too many out there who could say they didn't like that man. Great family man and very proud of his roots
Tony Scullion is inspirational.

Was thinking exactly that, surely hasn't an enemy in the world.
Wasn't for saying London anyway ;D
Couldn't ask for a better coach in the Ulster GAA to bring our sports to new people
That Derry team had a lot of leaders beyond Henry Downey.
Quite a few of that Derry team have had the Laochra Gael treatment now. Johnny McGurk, Joe Brolly and Anthony Tohill definitely had one. McGurk my favourite of them tbh due to having been down the gambling path myself.
I didn't realise there was a tohill one.
Decided to see what was available to those of us overseas. The good news is it seems that the whole series is available.
Also TG4 has apps available overseas as well. I wish RTE would do the same

Absolutely superb. He done an interview during Lock down, went and found it to watch again, well worth it

Saw it but i think it was only a half hour episode
Scullion was Superb last night, no airs and graces and coming from nothing. An Inspiration to all young ones out there. And to get an All Star during those times too, when GAA players in the North were hassled and bullied by the Brits for their Culture was exceptional too.
Brilliant episode, Tony scullion is some man, great to see the pride he had to pull on the county jersey.
-and the prison work
One of the best episodes of LG, well done Tony
Tony Scullion has a lot of depth. He is not one dimensional like many sports stars. . His story of triumph over adversity, his honesty, his unique talent, his communication skills, his importance to Derry, his humanity , the picture of his family with Sam Maguire, the respect John Joe Doherty and Damien O Donaill showed for him - he was the perfect subject for Laochra Gael. A real Laoch.
Only got around to watching this last night.
A brilliant watch, Tony comes across very well.
It just reminded me of the banners that used to be at Derry games in early 90's, Tony the "Scud" missile, where a Scud was air defence (I think) deployed in Iraq. He was our Air Defence....at least I think I'm remembering that correctly.

Think Scuds were used in the Falklands war

I really enjoyed this one.
In recent times , it's become more about personal tragedies rather than the persons sporting career. Tony's passion and honesty spoke volumes here
The story of his ill neighbour running up and down the stairs when Tony won an all star , and Tony taking his award to him before going to his own home. That's what it's all about, he says. So true. He didn't forget the people who were good to him and helped him on his way.
Used to love watching him play. A brave , honest player.

He certainly is compared to Bono

Another good episode with Lindsay Peat. Competed internationally in rugby, basketball and soccer as well as winning an All Ireland with the Dubs.
Probably the least interesting bit was the GAA story as I remember watching Cliodhna O'Connors episode a few years ago and that kind of covered that same period and the mad run of losses to Cork.
It was definitely very interesting and about someone I didn't know very much about but the GAA side of it like you say was probably the least interesting bit. Some achievement taking up rugby at that age and ending up in the world cup.

Only got round to watching both the Richie Power and Tony Scullion ones recently and both very open and sincere lads for different reasons.
Tony's driven spirit really comes through and the same with Power in relation to his knee issues, both driving on no matter what.
No creatine or protein shakes for Tony, only praties and butter and he'd still put most gym bunnies on their hole, one hardy buck.
Enjoyable watches.

Not really when you consider the numbers of adult female rugby players and their necessity on going after players from GAA background amongst other sports.
It's still enjoyable but more and more like the X Factor

If anything it's the back stories in some of these that make them what they are, real people.
I never liked the ones where they rolled out someone who all it was was "We won this, then we won that. We got bate that year and then we won the year later, and we all lived happily ever after"..
Just watching last night's now
What a man Alan Kerins was !
To do what he done on the pitch ( an ai winners medal in both club hurling and football and a winners medal in all county football and 2 runners up in all county hurling) pales into insignificance when you see his off pitch stuff
