I agree it was fairly good, shame so much GAA content now behind a paywall. I'm not a fan of the Examiner itself so no interest in giving them money though.
Interested in hearing what the issue with the Examiner is?

Their football and hurling podcasts are very good aside from all the horsey stuff on the hurling one.

The only way to stop players shouting at officials is to red card them, will automatically stop it

He wasn't shouting though. He was complaining. I dont want to follow an overly sanitised sport where yapping about decisions automatically removes you from the field of play.

If you prefer players circling around the ref at all the decisions he makes, then fine, personally I wouldn't be standing for it, not sure how that is sanitising the sport, more like removing disrespectful idiots. It's not passion
Needs to start at managers harassing 4th officials, hard to stop players when allegedly reasonable citizens see it as alright to badger and intimidate someone doing their job to gain an advantage. Them 4th officials must have no self respect at all!

Liverpool never looked like they'd real belief they'd make a game of it. That was like a pre-season friendly. No intensity.

There's a bit of mental baggage with Madrid at this point. The lack of intensity, like so many games this season, was throughout the team.  Again for their goal there was a lack of sharpness in closing down the initial pass and VVD didn't react quickly enough to get the ball away from Jnr.
Konate ball watching and didn't follow Benzema.

D'y'ever see Rian O'Neill's frees?

He makes the ref think he's going to run back towards the point of the free, with his back turned to the goals. Then when he goes to move, he simply turns and faces the goal and makes up a couple of more yards before striking. I'd say he makes 5 yards every time. Hurson fell for it every time last week. Same again this week.

Armagh should be deducted points.

He's some boy for clocking up sly fouls as well, even got time to lower his knees gently in to the Mayo physio when Carr was taken out of it on the sideline 1st half.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis. Condolences to his family and friends. Seems like I half watched Brendan grow up on this board from his studies to getting married and having children, and of course his football opinions. This place the poorer for his absence.

Kilmacud get to keep their cup

With a sizeable enough asterisk beside it. I'm sure in time it will be forgotten about but it'll definitely be tarnished I'm the eyes of many for years to come.

KC have to ask themselves serious questions around this whole season. From the moment their football committee sanctioned the short term signing of one of the games marquee forwards, they were putting a spotlight on themselves. I'd certainly question why a club with 5,000 members and a catchment area of probably 100,000 would feel the need to take a decision that ultimately denied a homegrown player who'd been with them since academy days a chance to win an all Ireland club. What message does that send to the kids in the underage ranks?
As a club they're a shining example, I appreciate that the population they serve isn't their fault and it's to their credit that they provide playing opportunities for the thousands of kids that currently do, but their senior football management and committee really should take a look at their approach and see if it was in keeping with the wishes of their membership and community.
Agree with this plus Crokes silence since the day speaks volumes IMO. Robbie Brennan usually has plenty to say in the media but the club also has circled the wagons. Brilliant club but this whole saga stains their reputation a bit unfortunately. Glen ran out of road when Crokes counter objected and refused to take part in a replay. Must leave a real incomplete feeling to the Derry champion's season.

Was that really charging? Glen blowing this a bit.

Thought it should have been a free in to Glen.
For what? Glen player ran straight into him.
Warlock took a step left, Crokes player just met him full on. I thought a Glen free. Seems a sin now in football to not come out of a tackle clean sorta promotes handpassing.

Haven't got hold of it yet, but it looks decent, and honest, from this excerpt about the aftermath of 1992 and his retirement:

https://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/alcohol-abuse-depression-and-loss-of-marriage-how-winning-all-ireland-threatened-to-engulf-donegal-captain-42103873.html
That's a cracking excerpt from the book, will have to get it. Spent a summer during mid 90s in Glenties area and his legend was real with stories of late nights etc. Think his brother had the Limelight at that stage with him working there or the pub next door? He was a fine fine player in his prime.

Why does anyone  care about someone wearing a poppy? Definitely more things to worry about, but I suppose it's November and the outrage is real!!
MR2s usual "why does anyone care" or other dirivative after going in to said thread lol. Your like the old Boy at the bar listening to some debate at another table, "you have little to bother yous", only you go on to a discussion forum to do it lol. I find it truly bizarre behaviour ;D, its not like the things poster's discuss here consume their daily lives and thoughts ffs. Well maybe the football threads.....

;D Lost count of the amount of times I've seen him do this
Extremely weird behaviour

It's ok to have a different opinion. Not one person gave off about Craig Doyle not wearing a poppy, there are plenty that don't wear them, anyone that does wear a poppy wears it because they want to.

As for the abuse McClean gets it's wrong

Didn't realise you needed permission to post on the threads though

Let's face it , the reason McClean has  got abuse for 11 years now (and not just around Poppy time) is all  down to the English FA.  This poppy on shirts thing  , there is no need for it whatsoever.  If they want to have  a minute silence on the date , then do so, I'm sure every player  would  stand for that.

The fa let McClean take flak for years before they even said anything and even then it was  half arsed statement. They allowed that abuse to fester and  grow without any condemnation.  Disgusting.
When MR2 doesn't care a jot about 'whatever topic', he sure does spend a lot of time on the relevant thread letting everybody know that he doesn't care a jot and keeps an eagle eye on the thread for any responses to his refrain of 'who cares about this shít'.  And when taken to task, he wraps himself in victim hood garb. 'why pick on me?'   'since when do I need permission to post? Is this BIS  - Belfast Imposter Syndrome, or just BS?
He is definitely not obsessed with Liverpool either!!

Westport well beat, no surprise really after a 1st ever county title 2 weeks ago followed by Kevin Keane's stag last weekend. Moycullen a fine side.

Kenny has them playing good football, that's not a get out of jail card for all the poor results though. His TV interviews are real cringe cringe, cherry picking positives at the expense of reality.

So now Gareth Brooks is a six county only phenomenon that didn't hit the urbanised West Brits on the East coast?
You're just ignoring the thousands that were traveling yesterday from Cork Kerry Galway Clare Mayo Sligo Tipp, Kilkenny etc.
The West Brits are mourning their Queen.
26 aren't even in the Commonwealth  ;)
That makes it worse and even weirder
McIlroy tribute very "Ulster", that come under West Brit banner?
Sure you know what McIlroy is like
FG like  :)
