Used to be you'd have a thread for each of the big games here with multiple pages of craic, analysis and bickering. Now we've one amalgamated thread for all of ulster with very little interest or posts. You'll never see a 100page + thread of tyrone v Armagh banter ever again.
Quote from: Truthsayer on April 18, 2024, 01:01:05 AMAs far as I know the GAA still aspires to a 32 county Republic.
Rule 1.2 of the GAA official guide states our aim as the 'strengthening the national identity in a 32-county Ireland'.

Compare with the IRFU, FAI, IFA, basketball etc by all means, but the OO is not a valid comparison.He's after saying the most popular place for work experience for St Pauls students is with the psni. All for trying to be inclusive Jarlath but come on ffs.

I like Jarlath and hope he has a great reign but some thoughts (hope he reads the GAA Board lol)Just started listening. Surely he doesn't really believe that the Orange Order is in any way comparable to the GAA?
He was very coy about payments being made to managers. His son is on the Armagh panel.They are one of the most "professional" set ups around. McGeeney, Donaghy, Gilligan etc are on tens of thousands of pounds. The Armagh players virtually never play for their clubs and the club leagues in the county are terrible.
This is replicated up and down the country but surely Jarlath must know what's happening on his doorstep.
Because these people are getting paid so well they are placing so many demands on players to justify their existence. This is the problem in the GAA!!!!!
Also loved how he managed to say that the tournaments etc named after IRA men aren't actually GAA organised. A clued in interviewer would have asked him who Sam Maguire was! Or maybe he was ok because he was in the old IRA.
Quote from: sensethetone on April 17, 2024, 09:21:47 AMDanfoss is sometimes a motorised valve manufacturer, if you photograph the serial numbers it's a reference to purchase replacements.
The electrical part alone should be what needs replaced but most times you have to buy the mechanical part, it should need changed.
QuoteAbsolutely, but seen the days where we were losing to Fermanagh and Cavan in Ulster first round games. (Did Down actually beat us under Geezer as well?)
Quote from: Armagh18 on April 16, 2024, 02:33:01 PMWould it be worth rotating Dublin through the other provinces every year? Give the Leinster teams a chance and give Kerry a kick in the hole every few years?

The same thing happened in the League final again when the stakes were heightened and the fear of losing took over.
The Ulster final, should we get there, could well be the defining game of the season because they won't be winning an All Ireland title. For a lot of those players it's probably the last chance saloon to try and win meaningful silverware.
Is it meaningful silverware?
No, neither is the league, Sam is the only show in town!!

Armagh ones love an auld train.
