Quote from: Tyrone Dreamer on Today at 02:10:53 PMI don't know what the motivation was but there certainly is some logic in the 3 teams going through other than money. It greatly reduces the number of dead rubbers and increases the importance of topping the group.

you have got it all wrong. Its all money. Grab all association and what have you..........

Perfectly put.
The modern business phenomenon of trying to clean as much money off people as possible is one we could do without in the GAA.

if this was actually the case we wouldnt have season tickets or packages for the all ireland group stages would we

Quote from: tonto1888 on Today at 07:57:46 AMDenver 3-2 up now after losing the first 2. Will probably go back to back now

Edwards still playing phenomenally for the T-Wolves but that's not enough against this Denver team. KAT and Gobert have been very poor since they went up 2-0. Conley injury didn't help either.

Remarkable comeback from Denver all the same. Hilarious that dropping the first two games coincided with Jokic being named MVP and immediately got used as a suck to beat him with. The guy is always an all time great.

He is superb. I am holding out hope the Celtics can beat them but they may not get passed NY with Brunson in the form he is

Brave lads. If only they were so brave during the troubles we'd have put the Brits out ages ago

Why did you want the Brits out? Why do you want everyone else in?!

did this actually make sense in your head?

Quote from: thewobbler on May 13, 2024, 01:29:37 PMNot honestly sure I could pick 3 Nirvana songs I like without using the Unplugged album.

Loved Nevermind when it first came out, but Nirvana are just a little too raw, too intense for a soft old chap like me.

Nevermind is a decent album. Bleach is by far their best tho

I dont think so, In Utero was their best for me.

also a very good album and better than nevermind

The ' eejit Kenny on co-commentary who repeatedly claimed Lundstrom's red was not a red.
What a nutcase!

Just watching the highlights there.

WTF is Miller on about??

You'd swear there were ten leg-breaking tackles like that every day the way he's going on.

Absolute bellend! ;D

In fairness, rangers manager was unequivocal about it saying it was red and a bad tackle. Bizarre stuff from Miller.
What I understand from his later justifications it's even more bizarre. Kenny claimed that it would not have been a red card tackle in his day, therefore it wasn't a red card tackle.

I think he's just doubling down on his initial decision. Doesn't want to back down. A clown.

Although Sutton is a clown also. Can't stand him.

Yesterday's game, like this year's league, was very hard work by Celtic.  Poor stuff. Should have beaten them out the gate by 4 or 5 goals.  Typical 2-0 up then conceding straight away. Just typical of this season.

Point still stands. Board need to invest big time now. Players like Scales, Harte and Taylor etc. are clearly not at the right standard. Celtic need serious investment.  That should start right now instead of their usual messing about in August.

This will bring in more money via Champions League and good chance Matt O'Riley will go for £10m+.

Scales is better than all your other centre backs in my opinion.

Did you not take note of Scales' performance in Saturday's game? It was desperate defending for the headed goal, he knew the Rangers player was there but carried on ball watching. He can't jump and if he does get his head onto the ball, who knows where it will end up and that's a chronic problem dating back to his debut.Anytime he goes forward with the ball the game slows down. How many times did his passes go astray? At the very least he was by far the worst passer.
CCV can pass the ball and can head, but in many other respect Scales can hold his own.
Scales has improved no end as a player, Rodgers is the perfect manager for him. He doesn't get injured, I'd rate him as an invaluable squad player.

CCV is not a better passer than Scales. Did you miss his huge f**k up in champions league this year. He's good at heading a ball, that's it.

Completely untrue.
Watch Celtic games. Others teams let scales bring the ball out. They pressure CCV. I know he's Irish and that's clouding your view on him tho

Quote from: J70 on May 13, 2024, 01:43:45 PMYeah, that five penalty takers on repeat rule is ridiculous.

What's the rationale anyway? To be different from soccer?

Then you end up with poor Armagh lad who missed twice against Monaghan last year.

It's cruel sending a lad who already missed up again.

Callum comiskey. Not on the panel this year and I wonder if that had anything to do with it. Not that anyone from Armagh put any blame on him

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on May 12, 2024, 06:40:40 PMArmagh fold again on Penalties, Why was Rian O'Neil taken off. Awful way to lose a game. Some Armagh supporters argue that's that a draw! 4 point up with 20 mins to go, Armagh went bck into their shell instead pushing on.
This time Armagh did not fold, good save to win it. Rian couldn't walk at full time, physio was working on him he had run out of gas. Why Oisin doesn't start or come in earlier is a mystery. But Donaghy telling Jarly Og to recycle a mark that was scoreable  points to a mindset that leads to losing games. Twice at least they had the game won and then stopped doing what was working for them. Players running into dead ends and not taking opportunities points to that  same mindset. Something needs to change, if not McGeeney then the back room. They need a change of direction. Some incredible scores yesterday from both teams, fair play Donegal they found a a way.

Folding in penalty shootout not sure about that however game was certainly there to be won by Armagh in normal time and extra time and will look back on that with much regret.

I thought the last two Armagh penalties weren't good ones.  Patton unlucky he didn't save one before he did save one to win the shoot out.  By that stage it was coming down to fellas that didn't want to take penalties.

Fellas that didn't want to take penalties? It was the same people taking them. That's one rule which needs to change

I'm not against the attacking mark but think it needs tweaked. A wee pump pass into the 45 should not result in a free kick at goal
