When are the BBC going to get a decent commentator for its live matches?I thought Jimmy Smyth was hard to listen to until i heard Mark Sidebottom & Enda Gormley,they just dont come across with the same passion as their RTE counterparts.

Rest In Peace.

It is an undisputed fact that global warming is happening here and now. It will effect different areas in different ways, maybe we will get more rain as a result, who knows, but the planet is definitely getting warmer. What is questionable is what is causing it, is it a natural phonemenon or is it man made?

Why can Dublin players take 8 steps?

I think its time the GAA took a more youthful approach to match day officials.I may be wrong this time but in general i would say that most umpires would be of mature years & not having 20/20 eyesight,which should be a basic requiement for such an important role in any inter-county fixture.

As long as the county board fail to provide the required facilities to compete at the highest level at all ages we will struggle to compete,take a look at the facilities that Monaghan have which has been rewarded with an Ulster final appearance today.Another point is that the idea of starred games should be scrapped & let our players get as much competitive football with their clubs as possible to try & build the confidence of players & develop skill levels,rather than deprive them of football & expect them to go out & perform miracles on big match days.

After the display i witnessed in Newry tonight,i think the time has come to do away with this bullshit of starred games.This starring business from what i see only prevents our top players playing competitive football on a regular basis @ club level & this was very evident tonight with players of inter-county standard not being able to make a simple pass or take a score from play.
