Tony fcking Davis, I might have to switch to BBC

Yup! Much and all as I like Daragh Maloney, can they please not give Davis the Bullet!

Mind you, Mark Sidebottom is some eejit, asking Mc Conville "What price the draw"!!! 
Oisin was cute enough to sidestep the question

No f**king way??? Please tell me that sidebottom did not ask Oisin that??

No word of lie, he's some gobshite

The evening show of the SG was the usual auld showing highlights of the games we have already seen while we get about 2 mins of clips from the two games in Tullamore and other Munster semi final. Will they ever learn?!?!

Think its a bit better tonight but Davis needs the door.

I agree, also thought the layout of the show was a damn sight better, Davis was God awful as usual, that aside I thought Parkinson was a bit of craic.

I thought the ref had a very good first half, there were periods in the second where he didn't help either side, but overall I wouldn't have said he made any signifcant decisions that affected the result. I think you are being very harsh on Hoey though Croi, I have watched it back on a few occassions on the player. I didn't see any malice in the challenge at the time and I fail to see it now either. It was indeed unfortunate to see any player stretchered from the field and I would wish Glennon well in his recovery as I'm sure that all in Louth will, but I don't think there is anything to suggest that Hoey set out to cause harm.

When Glennon burst away from Shevlin in the opening minutes the signs were ominous, thankfully from a Louth point of view he did have an afternoon that frustrated Westmeath fans.

The winter break leaves you with rosier memories of the Sunday Game than it deserves. First programme back and they remind you just how wrong they get the simple things.

Its been clear for years that genuine GAA fans don't give a shite about Dan the bollocks talking to a the handful of Deise fans who travelled down to an empty Limerick, looking at old footage of Frankie Dolan or watching a preview of the upcoming hurling, or all the other unnecesary filler that they stuff into the programme, to take away from what it should be about.

Its simple, you show a decent amount of actual hightlights from all the days games and put Davis and Mc Stay in front of a firing squad. Whoever puts this shit together needs to buy new crayons, my six year old would do a better job of putting this show together

Ronan is back doing what he does best, stretching out the long legs and running straight at defences

Nothing like some Meath Newbie tellin us to stop feeling sorry for ourselves 
You just worry about your division 3 counterparts next week 

Anyway, the matter in hand. I agree with Croi's first post, particularly the opening line. Navan no longer holds any fears for Louth with the might game against Tyrone in 06 and the brilliant win over the Lillies in 10 being two championship highlights. If Louth do win this game it should hopefully show that they have matured as a team.

I am expecting a tight but not overly entertaining affair as our numerous clashes over recent years have tended to be. A good game on a fine day be a bonus! Even better would be a win, however, there really is so little between these sides and we have won the last five meetings in the last five years, I think the midlanders are due one! Hope I'm wrong

PS: Despite what I said about the quality of our recent meetings, I still would have thought that this or the Laois v Longford games would have been better for the telly. Who really wants to watch Kerry going through the paces against Tipp!

The guy leaves work he runs onto a dart train rips off his tie, runs through a crowd and through an open gate rips open his suit jacket to reveal a mayo top gets handed a ball, the crowd calling his name, it's the last minute the final Croke park is full as he takes the kick which could win mayo the all Ireland ....
   

...and takes an elbow to the head.

From a smart arse from Meath of course 

I thought that the teams of the last 50 years in yesterday's Indo was a fantastic piece of marketing. Great to read the selections for several different counties, I can't believe that one of the stalwarts on here hadn't started a thread! It certainly got me excited about the weekend

They dare not use those two adverts again, they contain the evil that is "the pitch invasion"

RTEs persistence in spending half their Racing coverage talking about bloody wemens fashion!!

If I want to watch that Sh$%e I'll watch off the rails!

Or... you could just bring in Sean Boylan and pray for a miracle 

Louth Football has lost two greats this week.

The untimely passing of Charlie Mc Allister, the long serving Louth kit man was one of the greatest football fans the county has ever produced. Preceded only days earlier by a very, very fine forward and gentleman Kevin Dawe

Why anyone would appoint Val Andrews to manage an inter-county team in the first place is the real scandal.

Absolutely! Leaving aside whatever flaws the Cavan senior players have, I would not let Val Andrews be a selector with the U12s! Without any shadow of a doubt the worst, most poorly organised manager I have ever seen let near a county side.

The fact that this was Andrew's second term with the county and that in the interim period they had Keoghan does not bode well for the powers that be making a good appointment to replace him and they'd never appoint a Monaghan man!!
