Venues for the Semis?
Meath v Kerry Portlaoise?
Tyrone v Connacht Breffni if Ros, Longford if Galway?

Portlaoise? Good god man have you any idea how far it is from places like Ballinskelligs to even Limerick!

Thurles at least I would hope and if that's not available, Nenagh or the Gaelic grounds.

from places like bettystown and ballinabrackey (both clubs have players on Meath team) portlaoise is same distance as from Kerry

Ballinabrackey is an hour from Portlaoise.

lot longer than a hour. And what about bettystown ?

Do you know where Ballinabrackey is located? It's south of Kinnegad. You'd want a geography lesson on your county!!

I used to take my dad away for weekends every so often, headed to Derry one time, was a late Saturday afternoon and heading into town, at the corner of the street when pulling into town, the Lundy burning was happening in a street we passed, I said to the taxi man was it a bit controversial, he didn't give it a second and said, no one is bothered, let them at it and soon enough it'll disappear.

That's gotta happen, kids will eventually go "WTF" and it will die a death

Was refreshing (at the time) to hear.

If only we'd known you were in Derry. We'd a bought you a pint or two

Genuinely starting to feel sorry for Brolly. GAA people who once valued his opinion now laugh at him, not with him and no-one believes a word he says.

This is true. The only reason he's still in the media at all now seems to be to laugh at him. I don't know anyone who would actually pay any heed to him apart from an eye roll. T'is a sorry state and he's even managed to turn his own against him. Pity, he was entertaining once.

He speaks well on a wide range of non GAA topics on the Free State, some very enjoyable episodes

I haven't listened as I gave up paying heed to him years ago when I heard him tell blatant lies to illustrate a point about an underage team that I had close connections with, I'd say by now most of us have similar stories!
But, he is a good talker and if you aren't familiar with a topic to the extent you are on gaa, then he might make sense, to people informed on those topics, he's probably as full of the same shite that he is when talking about football!!

Bit of a rant alright.and a major McGuiness love in. Love to know what his problem is with Harte so badly. Give out about him been paid but glossed over O'Rourke been paid.

Jimmy record against Harte in championship is 3-0. Harte should have stepped away from Tyrone bout 2010 got left behind by the best coaches then.. cudnt get the better of Kerry, Dublin or Mayo from 2008. No coincidence Tyrone won Sam year after he went. He's not the Messiah!
