Well anybody watching the underdogs on TG4 at the moment?
Different angle taken with it these days, more about the story and less about the football.
Its a ladies one this time around isn't it? Any of them tasty?
Saw a wee bit of it one night. There was a doll from Wexford I think who the last time she was in a filed she was lapping hay. She was so heavy that she was unbalancing the bus. It showed her mother on the show and she was no lightweight either. She was all dressed in her sunday best but was out in the yard. The oul fella came round the corner and she told her wee girl had survived. She gave the oul fella a peck on the cheek and he nearly had a heart attack. Cringworthy
Ya saw that episode, that doll has been up for eviction twice in the last month so she wont last any longer, There are three sisters on it from limerick and they are reasonbly tasty!
Lol saw that episode too reminded me of typical irish television :)
Should the aim of the program focus on their skills and not how tasty they are ??? ::)
If it was about how tasty they were they wouldnt be able to fill the 1/2 hour slot
Should it not be called the Underbitches?
Nah from what i seen last night underDOGS is an understatement!!!!!!!!!!
Doesn't matter what there called they haven't a clue how to play ball!!
well that was duly noted last night as well. But still there is bound to be a few lookers who can play a bit somewhere in ireland
It's alright slagging how they look but when they'd have the make-up on and dressed up and out on the town and your full of drink i'm sure some of them wouldn't look 2bad either!!
Do u struggle with the beer googles at the weekends cavan4ever??? :P
No more than anyone else!!!! :D
obviously lads yous ddint see the earlier episodes of the show, casue they were out on the town one night and a few of them were looking well.
Call me sexist, or what you want, but I cannot watch woman play GAA football.
Absolute garbage. Ducking and diving - like watching a bad Cumann Na Mbunscoil match in Kilkenny.
Camogie is alright.
I have to agree. The problem is when you criticise womens football you are attacked like you are a savage. Like it or not there is a physical element to the game. When it is played by girls this is removed and it makes a terrible site to watch. As well the skill level may be poor in mens football but it is worse in the womens game. There are a number of reasons for this. The standard of coaching is poor - and much of the coaching is provided by men- so this is not a sexist remark. I watched a training session recently when there were 16 players using 1 ball with a bag of balls lying beside the coach. Also many of the players are very young - and have not yet become experienced players because they are quitting too early and due to family reasons do not return to coaching.
One other problem - which will unfortunately attract criticism - is the attitude to many womens teams in a club setting. There is an arrogance there that will not accept direction or look for help - or will make a genuine effort to cooperate with the male players and coaches.
But rather than be against the game i thing it is greeat both in terms of a chance to develop a more healthy life style by getting more girls involved actively in sport and a family occasion is provided when everyone can go to the games
when is the show on... cant find it in my tv mag ;D
Saw an ad for this on TG4 looking for applicants if anyone on the board fancies it
You would imagine that this concept has even more potential now in the age of social media.
Glad to see it back as I really enjoyed it when it was on before.
I still remember some lad not making the cut and him going on a rant about how he'd "make bits of Ciaran Whelan" (the final game was against Dublin). ;D
Think it was Jarlath Burns who bore the brunt of his ire.
Read this thread from the start. It was started about the Ladies version. Some of the comments are absolutely shocking and have not at all aged well.
Yeah, I've reported everyone for sexism.

Some amount of knuckles being dragged in that thread.
The 6 counties really are 20 years behind the rest of us.
