Tyrone / Re: Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

Hearing that if Tyrone U20's win on Wednesday the start of the Junior League will be rescheduled. Any truth in this?

Quote from: Aughafad on April 23, 2024, 07:41:51 PMGents, i will be in rome for the Tyrone game on sunday and was wondering if any of you would know somewhere in the city to watch the game?

There's the scholars lounge which is your sort of touristy type Irish bar. Then you've Finnegan's (around the corner from the colosseum) which is a more authentic Irish pub which will most likely show the GAA rather than the soccer (Arsenal play Tottenham on the Sunday at 2pm also)

Is the new Fallout series worth watching?

Would I be rightly berated in saying I had a pint and a feed out of Weatherspoon's for £10.10?  ;D

Our roads are full of gobshites who would rather risk their own (and others) life than arrive at a destination 10 minutes late.

Quote from: An Watcher on February 14, 2024, 10:21:48 PMHow many of that Ulster Uni team were from Tyrone?  Or would it be easier to ask how many were not from Tyrone?

Taken from Tyrone GAA twitter

" Comhghairdeas especially to our 13 new All-Ireland Champions - Steve Donaghy, Peter Og McCartan, Oisin McCann, Conor Cush, Ciarán Daly, Ruairi Canavan, Darragh Canavan, Dara Curran, Eoin Montgomery, Danny Fullerton, Adam Donaghy, James Quinn and Harry Morgan".

GAA Discussion / Re: Money is Destroying the Game
February 14, 2024, 02:00:30 PM
Was recently chatting to a friend who is deeply involved in the local GAA club scene here in County Tyrone. He has been telling me that he is feeling overwhelmed by the amount of money his club is asking from him.

It's no secret that GAA clubs rely heavily on financial support from their members. Membership fees and occasional contributions for club run competitions are not only understandable but expected. However, recently the club in question has upped the ante, hounding members for money in ways that feel disproportionate and, in my own opinion, disrespectful.

While it's crucial for clubs to cover necessary expenses, it's been reported that this club is requesting members to foot the bill for their own presentation nights. Presentation nights, traditionally, have been a moment for clubs to come together and celebrate the achievements of their members. Asking attendees to pay for their own participation seems to go against the very spirit that these events should embody. Moreover, the practice of soliciting weekly direct debit payments from members has raised eyebrows. While consistent funding is essential for club operations, transparency and accountability regarding financial matters are equally important.

At what point do we draw the line? Perhaps it's time for a collective conversation about what constitutes reasonable financial expectations from our members and how we can hold our clubs accountable to those standards.

Quote from: gallsman on February 12, 2024, 07:49:44 PMNo, as it wasn't a request for an explanation or help with understanding.

It was a characteristically arrogant post where he simultaneously failed to display an understanding of that particular facet of the game in general and the specifics of the incident that happened last night, even after it was explained to him.

What a lugubrious post.

Has the Carlson Interview done anything to change anyone's view on Russia/Ukraine War?, Mainstream Media? or was this just a free reign for Putin to spout his own propaganda?

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on October 18, 2023, 08:39:59 AMIt's really at this point no matter who or how this has happened, the casualties from here on in will mainly be innocents, if Biden has any clout then he needs to use if to stop this carnage

Sadly it's always the innocents that suffer in war.

Whatever.

What point are you trying to make here Tommy?
