Quote from: From the Bunker on May 18, 2024, 09:05:53 PMUlster not as strong as it has been hyped up to be. Both Derry and Cavan put to the sword, and believe me both Galway and Mayo are no great shakes.

Not saying Ulster is as strong as it is hyped up to be but using Cavan is not te best way to make that point

you know he is the WUM in cheif, Eire og, Kerry for Sam, Armagh 18, southe dublin bro, plus many others.
He has single handidly gone a long way to F*ucking up a serious GAA Blog.
Shame on moderators.
For the past 7-10 years, I would be inclined to come on here to see opinions on games V read the newspapers after a game. Not any more.
A lot of well minded bloggers unfortunately have done likewise.



The scoundrel! Not much to be at of a day when you're at that craic.
I doubt he's Armagh18 though?

Id agree on this

Not sure about that, season wise anyway.

I think Celtic made that title a lot harder than it should hsve been.  7 or 8 pts up at a stage and they let that slip instead of driving it home.  That Rangers team is a poor outfit in my opinion.  They'll have a massive clear out this summer.

About Scales, he's very average. Against better opposition, he's not great. He's a grafter and has improved.  CCV's form has dipped, whether that's through injury or whatever.

The key thing for the board now is to invest - buy 4 or 5 quality players e.g. keeper, centre-back and left back etc. Spend decent money on them and get quality in.

In the Champion's League again with that money guaranteed plus good chance O'Riley will go for big money in the summer. If J. Fringpong moves on, Celtic are due a big cut of that transfer fee.  All said, Celtic should have £100m in the bank.

Up to the muppets in the board now to invest wisely for the next 3 years and build a platform. Buying 'project players' like O'Riley is all well and good...if it works but they've bought too many 'project players' who are sitting in the reserves on decent wages.  On that, it's time to clear the duds out and tidy up the wage bill.  Move them on.  Quality over quantity.

Surely they should be doing their transfer business now - a good scout should have their homework done on target positions via video anlysis and profiles etc. Get the players in as early as possible.

Scottish Cup is the next thing up. Need to win that also.


I was being sarcastic however, had Hatate and CCV been fit all year it would not have been as close as it was

Quote from: Tyrone Dreamer on May 15, 2024, 02:10:53 PMI don't know what the motivation was but there certainly is some logic in the 3 teams going through other than money. It greatly reduces the number of dead rubbers and increases the importance of topping the group.

you have got it all wrong. Its all money. Grab all association and what have you..........

Perfectly put.
The modern business phenomenon of trying to clean as much money off people as possible is one we could do without in the GAA.

if this was actually the case we wouldnt have season tickets or packages for the all ireland group stages would we

Quote from: tonto1888 on May 15, 2024, 07:57:46 AMDenver 3-2 up now after losing the first 2. Will probably go back to back now

Edwards still playing phenomenally for the T-Wolves but that's not enough against this Denver team. KAT and Gobert have been very poor since they went up 2-0. Conley injury didn't help either.

Remarkable comeback from Denver all the same. Hilarious that dropping the first two games coincided with Jokic being named MVP and immediately got used as a suck to beat him with. The guy is always an all time great.

He is superb. I am holding out hope the Celtics can beat them but they may not get passed NY with Brunson in the form he is

Brave lads. If only they were so brave during the troubles we'd have put the Brits out ages ago

Why did you want the Brits out? Why do you want everyone else in?!

did this actually make sense in your head?

Quote from: thewobbler on May 13, 2024, 01:29:37 PMNot honestly sure I could pick 3 Nirvana songs I like without using the Unplugged album.

Loved Nevermind when it first came out, but Nirvana are just a little too raw, too intense for a soft old chap like me.

Nevermind is a decent album. Bleach is by far their best tho

I dont think so, In Utero was their best for me.

also a very good album and better than nevermind
