The Kerry minor goalie gave away a penalty last night for overcarrying.
I've never seen a goalie give away a penalty before for a technical foul.

Was the overcarrying all in the small square?

Sean said he missed the word amateur as in they are a very rich amateur group.

Burns is turning into a politician. Of course they gaa are rich, whatever the offical figure is they are far richer.

Where do you think all the money comes from for brown envelopes

This makes zero sense. Have to seen the turnover figures and the amijbt that is required in the next while?

What brown envelopes to to who are you talking about?

A point I've made about GAAGO a few times is that, to me, it 100% seems like a staging post on the route to semi-pro. Once it gets really established costs will further recede and profits increase. I've no doubt Sean K looks at GAA financial figures through his previous GPA head - how long before we hear 'GAAGO made €Xm this year and the players who are the product get nothing'  only a matter of time imo.

I sort of wondered had Rian hurt himself as he was taken off just after he had slipped and gotten up a little gingerly.

I dont think those large scale changes are a good idea at all v Westmeath.  I expect a very tough battle.

Yeah he looked sore, probably just knackered.

TG4 most likely doesn't have the money though.

Maybe he was saying that the GAA is in a good position (financially) and talk of using streaming services such as GAAGO is not really a big revenue builder?

What are the figures on money brought in by GAAGO?

A lot of people will use a stick to watch GAAGO, so a lot of money being lost there, would promoting it more via the networks TG4 (who have been a winter lifeline) and RTE give the GAA more revenue through raised numbers in GAA membership and whatever add on that brings.

As for saying that we only used to see one or two games a week back in the day, that horse has bolted a long time ago, the premier league in soccer people were saying its more diluted with the amount of games they show, but I'd say figures for interest worldwide for soccer and the premier league gets bigger.

Israel considered the most hated country in Eurovision... yet ended up with one of the highest volume of public votes.

Your daily reminder that social media is not an accurate reflection of reality. 

Because you can vote for Israel, you cannot vote against Israel.

This is it.  Those supporting Israel all voted for Israel.  Those against Israel either didn't vote or had 20 odd other options to vote for.

It's not that he's a poor pundit - it's that he comes across as a dick. There's always an agenda or a dig. At least if other ones are poor at punditry they come across as decent enough sorts. He doesn't sell himself as either. Be better off without him.
