Celebrity Bainisteoir

[magpie seanie]

I know St. Patricks, Dromard of Sligo are in this and will face Aughrim in their quarter final. AFAIK they are only finding out who will manage them on Sunday. Speculation that it could be Tommy Gorman of RTE.

Paul Gogarty should be funny anyway. As for Dana - that's just not right.

I heard it's Áine Chambers.

Please let that be true.

That would be absolutely hilarious but I reckon you're taking the piss.

[Boycey]

Always wondered whats in it for the clubs beside a bit of cheap publicity, I presume there is a financial carrot somewhere?? I can only imagine the slagging some of our lads would get over a pint on a Saturday night if they were on telly getting a team talk from Dana. Hardly good for the dignity

I didn't think the GAA had snobs until now! So fcuk if a team enters it, it's a bitta craic with no harm done. Teams get slagged no matter what and if a club gets publicity over it then what harm. Have only watched it a couple of times but find it amusing and the players all seem to enjoy it but try real hard to win it. Again what harm?

Jaysus I've been called a lot of things in my life but a GAA snob is a new low for me

I must have led a sheltered life, I had to google Aine Chambers there to see who she was

Maryland won the Westmeath championship the same year they won CB I think.

They did indeed win the Intermediate Championship for the first time in donkeys years that year and have pushed on to become a very competitive team at senior level so positives all round for them. Well apart from the "generous" mascot who had his supporters car burnt out...

Apparently the Lissan lads were something other than overwhelmed when they got word on Friday night!

At the risk of repeating myself, I can't for the life of me understand how anyone involved with a club would be anything other than underwhelmed by the prospect of being exploited to enhance the 'profile' of some Z-list nobody. 

[AZOffaly]

I think it's fairly self explanatory why a bunch of 24 young(ish) fellas would be happy to see Glenda Gilsenan, Emma O'Driscoll or whatever come into the dressing room.

Dana, Nell McCafferty and that hag from Leitrim? I'm not so sure of.

She's a hell of a woman.
She really put Sligo on the map.

That's one way of looking at it and this would probably be seen as a nuisance by any of the big senior clubs out there. However its been a Godsend to all those Intermediate clubs who have just been threading water for years with no championship finals to get excited about. Great excuse to get the bunting up and get more people involved with the club. Putting up with the Z-list nobody is unfortunately part of the package but that's what the producers and focus groups think we're all interested in these days.

I woulda thought Cascarino would be managing Roma Gaels or Naomh Napoli.

Aren't you supposed to have some connection to the county of the club? What's his Laois connection? In fact, what's his Irish connection?

Loads of Cascarino's in Laois! Well they are now named Casey but sure its close enough

Jaysus, munster and parts of leinster is full of hurling snobs (maybe even north antrim too).

Right up there with Sligo Rovers as the best thing to come out of the county in years.

[Jinxy]

I'd never even heard of Sligo until Áine took the internet by storm.

[thejuice]

Was funny the reaction John Waters got whenever he was on. No-one knew who he was.

I haven't watched it since and that was the only time seeing it.

Would only know Tony Cascarino and Dana. Wouldn't pick any of the others from a crowd but then I suppose that's why they want to be part of the show.

....until she sat on it.

[Jinxy]

I never understood why the photographer was always lying on the ground behind her.
She always looked so surprised.
