I think the Dall is pretty sandy so it should ship any heavy rain better than most.

Syd don't be using the rain as an excuse to get at the lash this weekend. As Roy Castle (RIP) once sang "dedication is all you need"!

There is merit in the statement that the GAA don't help themselves by their willingness to sell the TV rights to the highest bidders - what happens in the hopefully unlikely event that RTE "the national broadcaster" cannot show the national games as rights to live games have been auctioned off to Sky Sports or Setanta?!

Outside of covering GAA news on the tv, radio, website, "Season Ticket" and "The Championship" what more can be expected of the Beeb?! Apart from sacking Stephen Watson?! 

I have yet to see GAA being allocated headline coverage on the backpage.

Yes but there was a good half dozen GAA pages in the Tele last Friday which surprised me as I haven't bought it for months so I don't know how anybody could gripe about that. Again, this is people like Fearon going out of their way to be offended - every man and his dog knows it's readership is aimed mainly at the Unionist community so just accept that fact and buy the Irish News instead! Themmuns could rightly complain about the coverage of Irish League soccer in the Irish News but what's the point when they have the News Letter and the Tele to keep them well covered!

Just get over yourselves - the GAA is as strong as it has ever been and the BBC and Tele not dedicating their full resources to promoting it is obviously doing it no harm!

Syd there you go with the negativity again! You need to start rowing behind the team and support the hurling revolution in Antrim

Veda is a malt loaf and it is the mutts nuts with butter and jam but the thought of it toasted with or without melted cheese makes me feel sick! I must say white bread is yer only man for toast!

As the irish news said, maybe the revolution has begun

Again?! 

This is the Antrim Hurling thread 

He must be on the wind up, nobody is that stupid.

He's from Derry so I wouldn't be so hasty in making comments like that 

He thinks Madeline McCann is some doll that does the bar in O'Hagan's in Dungiven sur!

I'm still waiting for it to be announced on the news that they're flying in Philip Green's private jet to LA to stay with the Beckhams so they can meet Hollywood producers to sell the rights to the story! The way it's going now it's surely only a matter of time!

When are Sir Elton and Liz Hurley throwing the big fundraising bash?! 

On the road when hoors don't acknowledge you doing them a good turn like letting them out at a busy junction. Or hoors that don't do me a good turn and pretend they can't see me when I cutting into traffic!  Driving basically makes my blood boil!

Been to a wedding in Cabra Castle myself and can't beat it for surroundings and it's not that big a drive depending where in Armagh you are.

[barely]

...would barely take travelling expenses.

But he did take them then?!

If we were to skelp a man's hand on the stick protecting his catching hand well then no harm done.

Sure has that not been part of the mindset in club hurling especially at minor or reserve level that even if you didn't win the match you still had to nail somebody to have something to talk about in the pub afterwards.

I'm sure Aidan McCloskey just got scunnered as I think he was playing for 7 hurling teams when he was 16 ((2 schools teams, 4 club teams (U-16, Minor, U-21 and Senior) and 2 county teams)) and his da was one of those usual GAA parent ball-busters! Add all the training and playing on top of A-Levels etc. and talk about player burn out!

Great post Hardy. It's as bad as the old adage "shure it's man's game" whenever someone complains about having a stick drawn across their head from behind!

Do you think Donal Og and his counterparts would accept any ban in the extremely unlikey event that one was imposed?! The GPA would have the "professional" hurling stars of Cork on strike before you could say "Fergal Logan".
