Is it ok with everyone else if we start taking PED.

Honestly, I don't know what we have to do.

There are several problems now that cannot be fixed without breaking something. Dublin's hegemony comes into this category. It is mot going to fix itself.

Slow moving drones from far away

Seems symbolic

Allows Iran to show they are fighting back

Allows Israel plenty of time to shot them down

Lack of serious Israeli casualties means they probably won't escalate.

It's easy to work out for everyone, so how will that actually show to their own that they are fighting back?

Israel response will have quicker drones

Israel has to be neutralised.Warmongers have to be stopped.Netanyahu is a fascist.

I'd start with the US as head of the warmongers followed by Russia

Isreal is chicken feed

How many people has each country killed since October ?

The US or Russia?

The 3 of them.

Israel attacked Iran to distract attention from Gaza. Netanyahu is insane.He should be taken out.

Israel is the only Western country where young people are more extremist than their parents.

I get ya and this works as a distraction but this shadow war with Iran and Israel has been going on since the 50's..

Has it? Israel and Iran were allies until 1979.

My mistake I was thinking Iran was part of the The Arab-Israeli War of 1948, was Iraq!

Anyways they have been having a good go at each other for many decades

Israel has invaded Lebanon 7 times. This stopped when Iran set up Hizbollah.

Taoiseach Simon Harris has said that the point at which Ireland, Spain and other European countries can recognise Palestinian statehood is moving much closer.

It followed a bilateral meeting between Mr Harris and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

Bottom of the group without a point or a goal scored. Are the team really better without Vera Pau as some of the players told the media?

Before you start criticising these Girls.
We have the following ranked teams in our group

England - 2
France - 3
Sweden - 6

We are Ranked 25 and we were ranked 38 at one stage.

We are mixing with the BIG GUNS here.

They got very unlucky with the draw, England and Sweden were in pot 2 and 3 because of poor performance in the previous Nations League tournament. They will still have a chance to make it through the playoffs into Euro 2025 but if they lose all 6 games, which could happen that might make the playoff path tougher.

The draw is mad It's weird that it wasn't overridden.
Ireland may have to wait another 4 years for the euros

Conor Moore captured him really well

It's a funny one when you get used to seeing names on forums only for them to disappear and you never see them again. Did they die? Have they just decided to stop posting and move on.? Who knows. We are all just names on a forum and no one has a clue about our real life outside of the internet.

Twitter and Linked In

Who were you getting use to seeing for one that just signed up on here in January or did your last account disappear?

Lar Naparka,5 Sams and most recently Farrandeelin have all died and this place is a poorer place without their knowledge,wit and humour

I was talking about forums in general obviously. There are more places out there than gaaboard.com

Out of interest - what other forums, sites, boards, pages do people use?
I'm not that big into social media and haven't really trawled to find anything else so would be interested to find out what's popular.

Camogie is an example of a system that works. Maybe the GAA could look into it.

Cork, Kilkenny and Galway have won the last 3 all Irelands. Tá Tipp and Waterford ag teacht. 5 competitive teams. Skill levels are high and matches are exciting.

"Tipp have beaten us in our last 2 matches. They have strong players all over the field and we're going to have to have our best performance of the league to beat them" Cathal Murray told Tuam Herald Sport

I am old enough to remember when leinster football used to be like that.

One thing I did notice on the Sunday game at the weekend was the crowds packed into rather informal setups in New York and London, it looked a bit 1970s.

Another thing was the scoreboard as Béarla in london. Galway instead of Gaillimh.
The first time I can remember seeing the word Gaillimh was on the scoreboard at Croke Park. I didn't recognise it at first but  it always seemed to follow the team in maroon. It's weird seeing "Galway" beside the scores. Brits out. Keep Ruislip Irish.
 

It's really appalling

You still can't answer why Meath and Kildare are broken but not other teams who are much closer to dublin - i.e. Derry and Kerry and Tyrone when they get themselves in gear will be there or thereabouts.

Teams get a huge confidence boost by winning their provincial championship and are much more primed for a crack at the Dubs than Leinster counties who have been crushed by the Dubs for over a decade. The demoralising effect of Dublin's dominance in Leinster also has a knock-on effect in the League - the imbalance of Ulster v Leinster teams in Division 1 being the prime example.

The provincial system exacerbates the problem with Leinster football. The Ulster Championship is the model for a proper Provincial competition. Connacht has Mayo, Galway & Roscommon in regular contention. Munster has Kerry, Cork and at times Clare or Tipperary. If Kildare and Meath were in Connacht or Munster I would say they would be quite competitive and in the shake-up quite regularly.

Bar the odd slip Kerry are regularly miles better than the rest in Munster although to a lesser extent than the Dubs. Weak excuse either way, no reason Meath shouldn't be a whole pile more competitive. 

It's all relative. Meath can keep the scoreboard looking ok for 20 minutes
Kerry are able to keep up with them for 72 minutes

The Sam Maguire can't be competitive if  one team has lost just 4 matches in 13 years.
