Hopefully with the win on Saturday the Antrim support will improve a bit for the other home games.

I totally get the expense involved, distance for some to travel etc but the support this year has been pitiful compared to even two years ago.

I wouldn't say we outnumbered the Wexford support significantly on Saturday.

Not sure the logic in playing Bradley who hasn't played all year due to injury & Bohill to a lesser extent.

Quote from: RedHand88 on April 19, 2024, 07:42:08 PMIt is a shame that he came up against 115 charges FC in his tenure which made winning the league nigh on impossible and who knows, if they do throw the book at city in years to come, what he achieved may be more appreciated.
In season 2021/22 it wasn't that as a win against Tottenham at home instead of a draw with three games to play would have won the league title for Liverpool.


You seem fairly simple minded but that season Liverpool lost two games and had 92 points, it still wasn't enough. That tells you all you need to know

Quote from: tiempo on April 12, 2024, 02:40:20 PMLatest podcast was a bit ott in terms of GAA exceptionalism, GAA has its share of fraud, spivs, spoofers, and wrong'uns - Joe's experience seems akin to Tom Cruise involvement in Scientology

And why so much hate for Micky Harte - referred to as 'that man' in the latest episode, a bit much

I used to find Brolly really interesting, he actually seems to be becoming slightly unhinged.

I can easily see him totally ostracised in the media world and an Ewan MacKenna type character in a few years
His podcasts are very good and popular albeit he is prone to tall tales. A far cry from Ewan McKenna.

Don't know an awful lot about McKenna or his background, but Brolly and him share a similar narcissistic trait, it's all about them and being the centre of attention even if that is offending people.

The Harte thing is Joe being Joe, saying something controversial so that he is "trending" on social media, there must be an adrenaline hit in it for people wired like Joe.

That's exactly  right.  As Oscar Wilde Said , "there's only one thing worse than being talked about , and that's not being talked about".

Brolly  has to be in the  limelight, regardless  of who suffers or who he insults.  He just needs to be centre of attention .  The Mickey Harte thing is just the latest  thing

It's fairly tiresome at this point. I see he will now not let his entrenched hatred towards Mickey Harte stop him attending games. He loves this Derry team now that they're going somewhere, the same group who told him to run on when he tried to enter the Clones changing rooms and bask in their glory after we beat Donegal 2 years ago.

Even though he said he wouldn't be attending any more Derry senior games when Harte was appointed, maybe he meant Derry senior hurlers

Quote from: Capt Pat on April 11, 2024, 09:56:21 PMKelleher should have held onto the third as well instead of spilling it to the scorer.

A terrible performance from Liverpool way under par.

Agreed and his kicking is and has been really below average

Quote from: smort on April 09, 2024, 10:34:38 PMIs the all-star team still decided by trial matches?

Just seen the team posted there and no players from Omagh, Dungannon or Donaghmore

Yeah, well the hurling definitely is & I assume the football is the same. They are a nonsense

A clear penalty according to Rio Ferdinand, it's a crowded field but he is the worst football pundit out there

Quote from: Capt Pat on April 06, 2024, 09:05:38 PMClare deserved it in the end I think. But the ref nearly handed the result to Kilkenny with the wrong decision to give Kilkenny a penalty and Rodgers a black card. Justice was done when Cody missed the penalty.

You can give a penalty inside the 21 I thought

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on March 20, 2024, 03:28:44 PMI wonder who'll pay that fine?

Hayes is quite affluent allegedly according to the Judge, so €10K won't be much of a hardship..

It's to be paid in two €5k instalments

Quote from: Captain Obvious on March 13, 2024, 10:45:29 PMThat's last year's finalists out before the last eight. Not a strong field like the past will go against logic should Manchester City not retain the Champions league title.

Last years QFs had Napoli, Milan, Chelsea & Benfica - hardly stellar

Not sure 10.4% over 3 years can be classed as "huge"
