Fair play to the Sindo, still fighting the good fight and calling out Gerry Adams for his heinous crimes

How do we know the evidence wasn't planted?

Epic scenes

til death do us part

Never before has Dublin been 1/50 to beat Meath. Colm has brought us back so much he's undone the foundations set in place by Andy and would rather give quotes in Latin than actually manage a team properly, he is blessed with some of the best players Meath have produced in over a decade. And is wasting it all. If Meath co board doesn't act at end of championship then is the supporters must vote with our feet.

I don't understand why Meath bother playing Dublin in Leinster. What is the point ? It isn't  a match . It isn't sport  Why don't they invalidate the match by playing with 16 players and hand the problem over to the Leinster council ? They are in the Sam  Maguire anyway.

Blaming Meath misses the point. How can they win ? They can't . The GAA has destroyed its own competition. 

In 6N, Italy were losers for years but due to the correct structures they made progress and won 2 matches this year. Compare their trajectory to that of the football teams in Leinster. 

I couldn't find another example from elite level sport of a team winning 13 championships in a row . County championships don't count.

Rosenborg won 13 Norwegian league tittles in a row from 1992-2004

Neoliberalism

If they do win the ulster 1st seed. They be destined to met Dublin in a semi if they top the group qualifiers and win their quarter final. If they lost in Ulster and did draw in Kerry Dublin section in the qualifiers they might be better placed to avoid Dublin to the final If they managed to progress that far, food for thought.

My thoughts:
You might be able to manage to lose a game here or there.
But that will only make the management of winning them more problematic.
Try to win every game and you will lose the unwinnable  anyway

Trying to win every game isn't necessarily the best approach in the new system

There is a not a single team that won't be trying to win every single championship match they are involved in. This talk around peaking at the right time is getting a bit mental. It's far more to do with training load than matches. If it's impact injuries you are worried about, you are nearly as likely to sustain them in training as a match, given the intensity teams be going at it in training.

He's hardly done that well, when his supporters can't even spell his name. A complete grifter.

All those photos around the house of people shaking hands with Jeff will be getting binned!

The UDR will take his name off their wall too

All the ones up on people's Dart boards will stay UP though. These things balance themselves out over......

Good old mickey continuing with the hypocrisy. Didnt let tyrone go on warm weather training camps for years and only a few years ago he backs a call to have them banned. Takes over Derry and hes off to a warm weather training camp for one week. Couldnt make it up.

Aye but can you blame him, like who'd want to go on holidays with a pile of Tyrone ones

Jesus Joshua is some wally, absolute dose

Here, Derry need to be stronger at Intermediate and Junior like most other counties. A 12 team league senior league leaves it stronger also. Clubs know this is the case, there too much personal interest at senior club level to say, oh were a senior club in a 16 county league, and not worry about the lack of strength jn the lower leagues. What team outside of a top 10/12 teams, every won a senior championship, I say none.

Nail on the head there

Your man has to be on the wind up surely 

Why not have a 5 second rule rather than using steps

I have seen Referees often use time when penalising rather than steps.

Yes, and you are generally blown for overcarrying after 2 turns regardless of how little steps and time you have taken. One of those unwritten GAA rules 

Out of interest, what do you recommend for  a new All Ireland anthem when  a United Ireland happens?

For me, it has to be Ghost Town by  The Specials

For me, and being mindful to be inclusive, A nation once again would be a good shout.

In my own head from memory I think Crowley is definitely better than Sexton was at the same point in his career.
