Andrew Neil is a big fan!

I see you can vote 20 times per person...he is encouraging all his followers to give all to Israel and sharing lads saying to do the same to sicken the Jew haters...

Who is Andrew Neil?

[Never seen a few like that awarded before and I've seen loads of lads beating the ball away after going over the sideline.]

Some game in Cork. Well done The Rebels for hanging in there then getting over the line.

Great game altogether.  Why wasn't this on tv? Madness. Instead of this dross tomorrow.

Cork only have 2pts so another knock-out game V Tipp next week-end. Should be a great occasion in Thurles.

Cork will need to get down to earth again asap and get the bodies right.

Re: Carlow V KK. Never seen a few like that awarded before and I've seen loads of lads beating the ball away after going over the sideline. 

Well played Carlow. Big heart kept them in it and KK couldn't put them away. They hit a lot of wides and let Carlow hang in the game.  Both Munster and Leinster groups are hanging in the balance.

Great entertainment.

You know it's a rule though? Done it plenty

Babs Keating Says Hurling Should Break Away From Croke Park and "Run Their Own Organisation"

"I'm saying it loud and clear, the first thing hurling counties should do is break from Croke Park and run their own association".
(Babs Keating)

"but more than anything he finds himself growing increasingly concerned about the state of the GAA; where it's going, what it stands for, who it represents".

"I'm saying it loud and clear, the first thing hurling counties should do is break from Croke Park and run their own association".

No intercounty activity in August or September, the tinkering with the age grades and what he sees as the ostracisation of older people by the GAA, none of it sits well with him.  And then there's hurling.

"Hurling is treated as a second-class citizen and it's never going to get enough support in the current arrangement, because football dominates in terms of votes. Hurling counties should go out on their own and do so immediately."

Football shits the bed with regards to entertainment

Unfortunatley very true, when you think of the comparison of that and the
Armagh V Down game tow weeks ago.
btw Mike Finnerty is such a better commentator that Marty or (its a huge one) Ger

Clare v Limerick was game of year then this one turns up!

Mental effort for both, Limerick hate losing

Football shits the bed with regards to entertainment

Cork have shit the bed.

Every team that plays Limerick shit the bed.

You can match them possibly for 60 minutes, Kilkenny had that also.

Go toe to toe for a period and the shear athleticism, skill, drive brings them through.

Yes, they should just suspend him for a club league game in the middle of June for that.
Baffling logic.
It was a red card offence all day and he deserves to miss the next game at least for it.

Unless you were there.. I'm going by TV footage

Turn it around, if a Roscommon player did it would you be calling for a red or was it just innocuous enough to merit a talking to?

If counties are checking out for the Tailteann, it's not a good omen for the competition's future.

Checking out to win it to go back into the Sam? Doesn't make sense

KK absolutely dreadful since the red card but what on earth was that free for?!

Looked like the KK player threw the ball away, not sure you can turn a sideline into a free for that ?

If ( I haven't seen this game btw) you interfere at a sideline ball decision against the other team it's a free, has been a free for a good few years now

It looked like the KK player over ran the ball over the sideline, and then tossed the ball away - hard to tell

If he did that then it's a free. And players must know that is a free! Mad how intercounty players do that

Ok, so how much will Limerick win by? I'm gonna say 8.

That'll be a good bet now

Fair play securing a draw Carlow..

They will be looking forward to the Antrim game with plenty of confidence

Backed the draw, both teams will be very edgy and will be score for score..

Who made the decision on the staff? was it Ratcliffe (minority share holder) or the Glazers (majority) that  stopped Betsy from getting her husband a ticket and charged her £20 quid for the bus to Wembley?

Personally I think they have done them a favour and saved them a horrible day out

I don't know, maybe the "Operations Manager"?

Favour or not, not every year you make a cup final and I'm sure a jolly to London, a bed for the night and a match ticket is a really really big deal for ordinary folk on minimum to average industrial wage.

It's certainly the last two years in a row.

So it's not Ratcliffe but the operations manager?

I've a friend who's daughter dates somebody who's a marketing manager at City, he gets the same wage that he got in his last marketing job.

Just because they are loaded, people get paid to do a job, not overpaid, and yes him and his girlfriend are heading to Wembley, mainly because City can't fill their own stadium 

Exactly what part of Jim Radcliffe and having full operational control is it that you're having difficulty understanding.

Is being tedious something you have to work very hard at or does it just come natural.

Ratcliffe is in control of football operations with his 27.7 per cent ownership

I'd say that's his main focus but maybe you're right. The Glazers have no control left and Ratcliffe is ensuring Betsy is dishing out curry dishes somewhere else if she's not happy. 

On a serious note, most of the reports I've seen, the place was badly run and things are changing route and branch.

Very low would be what we had prior to 1992. Massive demographic change is now.
The plantations were still immigration. You can play with words all you like, but that's what is was - organised immigration. Was it good for the host society? Were the early waves of immigration to the 'new world' good for the host societies? Was the immigration of Jews to the Middle East a good idea?(!) Will the current massive demographic change be good for Ireland?

My head is sore!

Look, it's simple Ireland is part of the EU, we have do our share and a duty of care also to people that come to this island and claim asylum, are some of them wrong? Dam tight they are and what needs to happen is a better process to fix it.

Burning hostels and hate marches not going to fix it
