If IN report is accurate then Conor Murray is not on board this season. It is going to be a tough campaign I think

That is accurate. Was in for a short stint at the start but isn't on panel now.

It is over a month since Kilcoo management stepped down, they are slow in getting a successor?

Its beyond silly from Kilcoo now, they must be trying to reach too high. IMO if they come back this year with the right attitude they will for sure be a strong force to deal with in Down/Ulster even with the players moving down under.

How many are for Oz? I heard one name but didn't know there was more than that.

Never got this fancy dress thing at stag dos.  You go, get hammered and do the same the next day.  Is dressing up more of an English thing?  Maybe I'm showing my age!

I'd agree, wouldn't be fussed on the fancy dress stuff. It's also an excuse for pubs to not let you in.

General discussion / Re: Price of a Pint

Places used to always do deals when there was live football or rugby on.

I saw on social media last night a place 'Haymarket' (never been) in belfast doing a few deals for the upcoming 6 Nations. 4 pints for £17 or Pizza/Burger & a pint for £10.

I remember my local was doing a deal a few years back during the 6 Nations (I'd guess around 2018) it was a Burger & pint for £5, crazy that its doubled in that space of time.

Called into The National last night with a mate, 2 pints of Clonmel each. £24.40, £6.10 each.

On Sunday I was in Common Market in Belfast, (a 2 minute walk from The National) and had 3 pints which cost me £9, they are doing a January sale with selected pints £3.

The National is a pretentious kip aimed at wankers.

  I have to agree, didn't enjoy it one bit. Food menu crap too, took a look at it & decided against ordering.

There was only 1 bad tackle in the game, a complete over reaction to be talking about how dirty/ugly a game it was. I thought it was a brilliant game, a lot better than the 2nd game.

GAA Discussion / Ticket Prices

« on: January 12, 2023, 10:41:53 PM »

From Cahair O’Kane

Ticket prices for National Leagues increase from €15 last year to €18 in 2023. Revenues from last year's leagues were higher than in 2019. In 2019, leagues brought in €3.5m, cost €1.3m to run.

€18 is a disgrace for a NFL game IMO.

Pay whatever way you want lads. But the option is there to pay £40 for IPTV that covers GGA GO and most other GAA games that are covered on various channels e.g. McKenna cup and if that makes me a bad Gael then so be it.

I'd say there's not many on here who pays clubs more gate money in a year across numerous counties, however the £40 i spend on IPTV each year is probably the best value for money i spend in a year.

Guys, get a firestick/IPTV.

Around £40 for a year. All McKenna cup games live on it..GAA Go..the full works.

You will even be able to cancel your Netflix subscription and any other TV service you pays for as absolutely everything is on it.
