I would not pay any heed to the Fury v Nganu fight - it was clear as day that Fury hadnt prepared for it at all.

He would still beat AJ - this new beginning is a false dawn in my opinion - until he fights a high quality HW the questions will remain.

I cant see Usyk v Fury going ahead - there will be some bullshit between now and then.

Quote from: thewobbler on March 06, 2024, 09:24:59 PMI don't imagine a warm weather training camp would could much more than doing the same thing in Ireland. And there's the plus point of fewer opportunities to bail from some of the camp when they're a flight away from their family / club / work.

That said, it's still a load of old tosh that makes no team more or less likely to fulfil their potential.
I dont know about that.  Armagh went from also rans to champions after a trip to La Manga..Yes... they went back to being also rans but it still worked albeit just that one time...

Quote from: bennydorano on March 04, 2024, 11:02:43 AMNot sure of the process - When do they find out if they've made it through / been selected?

As they are free agents it can be any time.
They could be asked to go on a practice squad which is the first step but no deadline for them to see if they are going to make it or not.

Best case scenario is teams start offering them a spot this week or next

Quote from: imtommygunn on February 28, 2024, 10:48:36 AMOnly realised about the kate middleton gone missing stuff yesterday. I don't pay much heed but there is some funny stuff on it. (Not seen since something like december the 23rd allegedly)

Probably getting a tummy tuck after the birth of the kids.

Would put her out of action for some time

I hope not but I think this could take Stormont down.

DUP will do everything in their power to ensure it doesnt go ahead - SF will then pull out of Power sharing and DUP will then be hammering SF on every media outlet going about putting a sports stadium before public services etc.

The DUP know their race is run (possibly forever) unless they get some sort of public backlash against SF.

Maybe I am giving them too much credit for planning ahead

Quote from: Captain Scarlet on February 12, 2024, 01:07:51 PMAn article from Pilly Mc and then this from RTÉ on Kildare in the space of a week...

https://www.rte.ie/sport/football/2024/0209/1431485-kildare-failing-to-harness-enormous-potential/

Things are bad at the minute but you'd hope some outside attention might be a reality check. The feckin Armagh game is live on TG4 too, so more national coverage.

We talk a lot of good players, but we don't have enough relaible lads. Can I ask other posters here - your county men stand out for the clubs every week?

What people don't realise that Dublin have been winning Leinster after Leinster since 2011. That doesn't look like stopping anytime soon. Thats all down to the millions pumped into Dublin GAA by our government and the GAA.

Why would any Kildare footballer be bothered putting an effort into winning a provincial title when the odd are stacked against you?

Its only now we are seeing the result of all that.

Not all down to it, counties like Kildare and Meath have resources greater than most counties so what's their excuse?

I thought I answered that above. Players don't even have a chance of a provincial title because of the odds being stacked against them. At least in other provinces the playing field is a bit more level.

Fermanagh just easily beat Kildare in the last round of the league. Fermanagh have never won an Ulster title yet they keep at it and are relatively competitive. Not sure your point stacks up.

But Fermanagh can see no one is Ulster have gotten the handouts the Dubs have got.
So the playing field is closer to being equal in Ulster than it is in Leinster.

This always gives players hope.

In Kildare they can see the gap and can see how much money has been pumped into the Dubs

Not singed but gradually getting worse with lines when the fire is lit.

Are the schools in the 26, kids a year older?

Nope - same ages.

There used to be a 6 month difference years back that favoured Ulster (all nine from what I recall/not just the six)

Maybe my mind is playing tricks but I always thought the rule DIDNT favour Ulster teams and they used to lose players when they went to the Hogan
