The broader point is his greed and money seems to be his god, his greed caused the ruptures that led to the Glazers

Aye dead on, cause you know him  ;… nightmare

Where did I saw I knew him ? It’s well known and all in the public domain you eejit. Go and read again about rock of Gibraltar & JP McManus & Magnier

And if you have time read about his son representing basically the whole United squad until United banned him

Fergie was sitting beside his buddy glazer. Ferguson isas much to blame as they are for the fiasco that is utd.  His ego and supposed horse ownership

Ferguson isn’t going to rock the boat with his current cash cow the Glazers

48 mins played a penalty goal for Kerry, the foul looked outside the area. 1-10 to 0-10 and Cork down to 14 men with a black card.

That ref just can't help himself -- needs to be a talking point.

It can be outside the box and a penalty though did they not say? If it’s a clear goalscoring opportunity, which I’m not sure it was

Definitely wasn't a clear goal scoring opportunity.

I didn’t think so either

GAA Discussion / Re: The future of Croke Park

« on: June 02, 2023, 09:33:53 PM »

I am reading a book about Croke Park and I see that this year's All Ireland final will be the 30th final in front of the new Cusack stand. It is over 29 years old now, the old Hogan stand was 42 when it was demolished.

I wonder what Croke Park will look like in 50 or 100 years? Will it be the same as it is now? Surely modern stadiums are built to last many decades.

What is the book ?

The amount of coverage the Philip Schofield story has had, it’s totally inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

West Clare is football. East Clare is hurling.

Anthony Daly said it’s much handier in Limerick for plenty of the Clare lads

Limerick may have been a bit fortunate yesterday but did enough to stay in the championship and will push on.
The salty tears of Cork fans are delicious. Extra bonus! 

I think Cork are coming & will be there or thereabouts in a year or two

Little Luton into the Premier League via a sudden death penalty shootout. Will their pitch be big enough for the Premier league?

Luton  back in the big time. I remember  collecting  the Panini stickers  back in the day when they  had the  likes of Mal Donaghy , Big mick harford, one of the Steins, and another  big fella with the headband (name escapes me). Ah, Simpler times.

Donal og Cusack was on the sunday game tonight giving out about the fact that none of the big hurling games are being televised by RTE and hurling is losing out on a lot of exposure and the chance to recruit more people to the game. I think he may have a point.

I am on here talking to myself after a weekend of hurling games. Problem is nobody has seen the games. I am grown up and can fork out for the games if I want but a young kid who might want to watch hurling is reliant on parents who may or may not be hurling people to pay for gaa go. 

Pay per view for an amateur game like hurling does not seem quite right. I wonder who is making money from the gaa go.

Just on the point of Donal Og, he made a point about his nephew that is the same in my house. My son plays Gaelic football and hurling, he could recognise David Clifford & TJ Reid maybe but because of FIFA On the PS he could name pretty much every premier league player.
