maybe they polled all your aliases.

[What do people think about international trips for GAA teams?]

What do people think about international trips for GAA teams?

GAA in Europe has shot up over the last 5 years, there are over 100 clubs all over Europe now. There seems to be huge potential in team bonding trips overseas, as you'd see in soccer, rugby, hockey etc... I'm not talking about County teams going away for warm-weather training camps now, I'm talking about trips for casual football, Hurling/Camogie tournaments. I see lots of G4MO teams going on trips to France and Spain lately.

(I'm a member of a European GAA club FYI)

Would such a trip be a good idea or does this have no place in the GAA?
If you're a player/coach/parent would you support a trip?

where do Kerry go     

A very good goal there for New York. Penalty to Mayo.

I assume you are talking about NY first goal,
second goal was inept defending(understatement),
I know S Coen tries hard, but sorry that type of defending ain,t cutting it.
Simply not inter county standard defending

For ease of reference to benefit the more casual fan.

I'll update the post with results each weekend.

Thank you

No way! Of course remember you both - are you the first gaaboard wedding?

BTW congrats, great story.

[If they do win the ulster 1st seed. They be destined to met Dublin in a semi]

If they do win the ulster 1st seed. They be destined to met Dublin in a semi if they top the group qualifiers and win their quarter final. If they lost in Ulster and did draw in Kerry Dublin section in the qualifiers they might be better placed to avoid Dublin to the final If they managed to progress that far, food for thought.

Not true. Semi-finals pairing are based on a draw, unless two of the four have met in the group stages, I.E Derry v Monaghan met in group stages in 2023, therefore no need for a draw for semis.

I went off giving out about refs for lent and will stick with it. Like players, ref's will obviously make mistakes, that's the rub of the green. Hand on heart I don't think a ref ever goes out to go easier on one horse in a two horse race. It's always in my mind too that the ref, during any passage of play will most likely be viewing a passage of play from a different angle than myself.

Was not there on Sunday, but that was also my initial reaction after being at the all-Ireland last year.

Congrats to Derry,
Well done to Dublin, incredibly conditioned and they play football like I like to watch it.
Felt bad for Fenton, seems like decent sort.
As for that tr**p Small ......

Jarlath's 4th speech of the weekend, he's some fire in his belly.

Has a Derry tie on also

Great speaker, how refreshing.

Please go away Kerryforsam and all your other aliases.
Your Easter egg hunt must be over

Another phantom free on Glass

Key moment, bar the very soft penalty, was the Derry lad going for goal from a tight enough angle instead of tapping over and putting them in a probable unassailable 4 point lead.

What soft penalty? The one were he pulls his arms back when about to shoot?

He pushed him in the back as he was about to kick, clear penalty, Lane was 50 yards away from it.

Highly enjoyable game, no matter what happens in ET. 

Fair play to Derry, some turnaround over the past few years.  Wouldn't mind a rematch of this later in the summer.

Same as that, just hope Dublin dont get two or three goals in ET and clobber them.
I would say their bench is a lot stronger.

Derry were 4 up on the home straight and Dublin reeled them in. It would remind you of Mayo.

Unfortunately yes.
Derry need a freetaker to put over their 50's

No free there whatsoever

Awful
