[No men got a look in at the camogie game last weekend, but sure there was a lady doing the men's semi hurling final!]

The sickener for women's equality was the same age for retirement age lol

If all the women involved know the game, have maybe played and have competent analysis ability, then I have no bother with that. Putting in a token male who may not be as knowledgeable for the sake of it commentating on Camogie. It's all about the best people for the job not balancing gender numbers.

So how many women are male intercounty hurlers that know the game? So by your logic she's a token female being put in for the sake of it?

None to the answer to the first bit. Didn't mean to come across that way with your second question. There is no doubt that there are male and female pundits able to talk about the opposite sexes game. And if they are good enough why not - but it should not be based on gender balance.

But its not happening, one way street it seems, if we are on about equality rather than playing experiences and insight from that, then I'm confused as why male pundits at camogie games are very very rare but nearly every week in male football and hurling we have a woman who has never played the men's game.

Camogie has a lot of male managers who'd have great insight into the game btw.

I'd have more respect for broadcasters if they just came out and be honest and say we are trying to even up the panels..

It's like the girl that does the rugby, English girl, no experiences really to draw from in the mans international standard of rugby

Commentators can be both in my book btw

No games this weekend.....next weekend

Strange

I missed the one for the weekend round up.. how'd it go?

Cheers MR2, shall we assume you are down to do our boys?

Are we having the relegation and 'winners' play off for the league this weekend? Rumour has it they have been set but nothing on the website

I suppose just getting the pitches available and the refs.. but its this weekend

I'm down to help out one of the games.. Not sure what capacity though lol.. no doubt the 3/4 up will be getting the full attention

I'm sure Jarlath will be writing a letter to the Irish government to complain

But unfortunately there are thousands of Irish people happy they didn't get visa

Is the world more racist now than ever before?

Kids have left for years as opportunities elsewhere have provided a better life, staying here isn't the be and end  of all, the young ones see the world differently, the experience might work out and if it doesn't the can always come home. But from what I can see there are great jobs here, better from when I grew up and I'd no incentives to stay, so I'm not sure what why they should get incentives and we didn't 

The world is a lot smaller than before and the ability to facetime mammy and the rest is probably better than the once a week trek to the parents house

The housing needs sorting... Whats wrong with making new towns/villages? when was teh last time a new town was built, rather than an older one being made bigger and making services for everyone there more difficult to use

Is it people that need government handouts that do most of the protesting, cause it's being sold that it will affect their benefits? And the rest are just racists?

If your life is being affected by a very small percentage of immigrants/asylum/migrants who come with virtually nothing then you need to give your head a wobble...

The girls are being attacked is a good sound bite, but I've yet to see them burning down too many churches over the years, so Father Pat was ok.

Also there has been a housing crisis in the south long before this has been an issue

It's a miracle I get tickets at all!!

Will be missing it this year unfortunately, away on hols ffs!

First time in many years to miss

[It's why they beamed hard-core pornography in the West Banks TV stations.]

People don't seem to grasp Israels long term strategy. They can't defeat actual peer adversaries in a straight up fight so their entire plan is balkanisation and causing civil wars internally in Syria [massive success there] and everywhere else.

Of course this is all for the good of democracy.

Always and everywhere they want to weaken and undermine anything that represents strength in a culture.

Is there a link to this? Asking for a friend

There is a hurling section for this!

While there is a dedicated section for hurling the page is

GAA Discussion
The place for GAA related discussion

So it's ok to have the final topic on here, some of the bogballers might not agree though

What's Blink like ? Have a ring doorbell for about 5 years now and it's constantly going offline

Why does it go offline? I'd say once a month with mine, I suppose it take a couple of minutes to hook it back up again but still..
