Rule Changes? Or is that covered under the game is ruined? It's not my favourite, but it's definitely a common one :)

State of football is a concern for an awful lot of GAA folk right enough.

'Everybody Hates Tyrone' neck and neck with 'The Game is Ruined' in the gaaboard Derby.

Completely ridiculous rule changes that would be impossible to enforce at club level because they would require an extra 2 or 4 officials.

That and how Tyrone cheated Monaghan.

You could feasibly add the totals from 'The Game is Ruined' to 'Everybody Hates Tyrone'

Fearon is the hero gaaboard deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it.

Thise 2 could be joined. "Everyone hates tyrone because they've ruined the game". I even had a tyrone man telling me that last week. He was actually annoyed they're in the final because he wanted rid of harte. He stopped going to games about 5 or 6 years ago because he can't stand watching the style of football. He might be in the minority at the moment but harte definitely isn't universally popular even in tyrone.

He would in his arse. Jesus had no time for zealots and hard liners. See the way he was caring, gentle, a healer and a teacher. He'd have undoubtedly played for Offaly.

He'd be smoking fags with Pilkington at half time, and on the beer the Tuesday before championship games.

He would have been a good man to help ease the tension between Cregan and John Troy as well. Blessed are the peace makers.

He would make sure that Jim Troy won an all star also. Robbed.
But then again, I suppose Jim wouldn't be too fond of the media.
