Derry looking very rusty or just out of sorts. McKinless's idiocy could be the difference in the end.

Jesus, what was he thinking there, dirty doing.

I have a Bosch 24v Rotak which i bought around 7/8 years ago and think it's the best thing i ever bought. 1 hour charging time and can easily mow 50m2 meters in a single charge. The only maintenance i ever did was take the blade off to sharpen it.

That's sounds like what I wanna hear. What sorta cost was it back then?

Robot no good 4 me

Anyone got a battery operated lawnmower? My petrol one near done, was looking at options. Any good??  Maintenance must be minimal??

A my 2 cents sort of post as i dunno if I've ever posted on this thread - but I think the new system is horseshit. I was always a big fan of the qualifiers and thought the balance was nearly right - if the Tommy Murphy Cup had've been embraced it would have been spot on. As for the split season, I really don't know if I'm a fan either (or if it's made any difference). For the County players that play for strong clubs the split season is probably a nightmare. The Armagh Club leagues batter away from April overlapping the County Season, the only thing that's split is the championship. So I think the split season varies in impact from county to county and players' experiences must also vary widely. It's a can of worms, doubt it's finally settled either, GAA too fond of tinkering.

Man in full on Netflix is very good, read some mixed reviews but I'm loving it anyway, 1 episode (of 6) to go.

Immigration is an issue that could completely derail Sinn Fein (or any political party for that matter) in a similar way that Brexit created gaping holes in traditional voting patterns in the UK.

Kerry are the one team this year who I've felt have been playing their cards very close to their chest, that or they've just been pretty poor. Seeing that's it's Kerry we'll have to give them the benefit of the  doubt I suppose. I remember thinking Derry had moved ahead of them in the pecking order but the league really is just the league. I'd be tempted to back them for the AI at this stage- not that it would be a huge shock if they won.

The GAA must be the only organisation where fans want them to move with the times yet remain stuck in the past

Perfectly put.

[How is that different than 'the GAA got €Xm from Sky/RTE/TG4 this year.]

A point I've made about GAAGO a few times is that, to me, it 100% seems like a staging post on the route to semi-pro GAA. Once it gets really established costs will further recede and profits increase. I've no doubt Sean K looks at GAA financial figures throough his previous GPA head - how long before we hear 'GAAGO made €Xm this year and the players who are the product get nothing'  only a matter of time imo.

I don't necessarily understand the point here (not specifically yours Benny), is it that all games should be available free to air all the time? Or just all the good games? Who should pay for this? Should funds be diverted from capital projects so that people can sit at home with a bowl of crisp and crack open a beer to watch the games?

And Sean Cavanagh has just been completely embarrassed with his hyperbolic statement being called out, I teel you what, based on his handle on numbers I wouldn't be wanting to drop a set of company accounts in to him.

Should be considerably more money generated by having no middle man operator, which should only increase with getting better established / growth and after the initial costs subside.

Wholesale changes for Armagh v Westmeath would be madness. It really has to be a guaranteed win or the game will be well and truely up. We're well warned after last year, I wouldn't change any personnel from the weekend - injuries permitting.

See a squad of them on the beer in the Foresters in Lurgan last night, good luck to them, do them no harm.
