Kildare GAA are streaming three championship games on Saturday. €5 per game or €10 for all three.

All proceeds are going towards Barretstown. A fantastic gesture.

Watching East Belfast coming into existence begs the question why aren't the GAA setting up more clubs in Dublin?

I see this account has been suspended.

Also I see he spent the weekend attacking Tony Holohan and Leo.

[Ulster has no floodlit grounds.]

So far tonight there are 4 Division 1 teams in Ulster and there are no floodlit grounds in Ulster.

What are you talking about? Down & Armagh both have floodlit grounds. Not sure about the rest

I'm talking about what the Sunday Game told us tonight.
Spillane said about 3 times that Ulster has 4 D1 teams.
Meanwhile the presenter told us and made an issue out of it that Ulster has no floodlit grounds.
I turned off halfway through the football....pure drivel.

Joanne actually said very few Ulster teams have lights.

f**k all Leinster County Grounds have lights.

Fairly typical of Arsenal that. Acting the hard men after the game is over. Arteta has some job on his hands.

No midfield. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but Ozil checked out after getting that €350k a week contract. Imagine if that money was available for wages.

Your local golf club and I'll whisper it Rugby club, generally have a roll of honour board listing previous Captains and Presidents. Always looks good.

He is made a fool of quite regularly (mainly by himself) but it never seems to phase him.

This. He got absolutely pounded on Coravid-19 by the medical establishment when he tried to claim that we could have stockpiled in January. He hadn't a notion but still he comes back. That people retweet his shit is what grates me.

True, I think it was a nursery group.  What is the value of doing this on-line anyway.  Never mind the GAA's complete shutdown directive, just let the kids play outside in the garden etc. by themselves.

Free play - they'll learn more through that than a 'training session' on-line.  Get a parent to kick a ball with them, play tag and hide- and-seek etc.

Let kids be kids.

100%

If I see one more coach trying to remain relevant with some ridiculous drill i will have a "Falling Down' moment.

Just play and stop coaching. Sucking the fun out underage sport for years, no wonder 13 year olds can't wait to drop out.

I'm our minor coach this year and it's tough to be fair but I think people have to be realistic we are living in an unprecedented time and you are just going to have to cede control for a while and realise some things are bigger than your club's nursery or your U14 championship!

For our lads we have a few home S&C workouts and a Strava group for a bit of running alongside putting up the odd skill to practice from Twitter but we can't control them all the time and the only thing you can try to do is get them to keep their fitness up for when/if they come back but even still they will not be anywhere near match fitness when they come back.

No point getting stressed about it. The upside is every team will be in the same boat and there will just be so many games that it should help bring a bit of enjoyment back that's been lost I feel.

Ah no if fairness minor is a different challenge altogether, this is next biggest age for drop outs after 12 year olds. Enjoyment comes from playing - rotate heavily and be prepared to lose - your squad will be a in a good place for championship and the lads will know they all got a shot...

The Wire was immense I don't think series 5 did enough damage to stop it from being number 1 unlike the last serious of GOT.

Great work BH, last stretch, drive her home...r

When did "****" become so normalised in language?

Do Leeds fans under the age of 50 exist in Ireland?

I called Ewan out on this, he offered to buy me a pint and discuss.

Thickest skin of any man on the internet. Has has nailed the contrarian point of view.
