So in theory, Antrim could make it all the way to the final which is 13th July. This would mean that there would be a good handful of players that won't have kicked a single league ball for their clubs over 15 games? Is this correct? And potentially may only get a couple of championship group games if their club doesn't progress? Jesus Christ the system is well and truly broken.
In successful counties that was/is common enough over the years with the various different formats they used.
So do we want a successful county team or a successful club team?
If a club player believes they can win an All Ireland with their club over the county then they might throw their lot behind the club. Antrim for whatever reason, club is king
Is it? One obvious club possibly but the remainder get behind the Saffs surely?
Quote from: Milltown Row2 on Today at 12:51:33 PMQuote from: burdizzo on Today at 12:14:15 PMYeah, exactly. When are the Guards and politicians going to stop harassing local populations by forcibly planting hundreds of unvetted men from completely different cultures into peaceful communities?
Under the current laws (cause whether you like that or not, that's the way its meant to be, until its changed)
Unvetted person comes to Ireland and seeks asylum, under the current system how should that be done?
If they are vetted and approved, are you ok with that? even though they are from different cultures? Or is it just different cultures that have you up in arms (literally) ?

Quote from: gallsman on Today at 12:42:11 PMQuote from: Rufus T Firefly on Today at 12:34:15 PMI think the issue was that the subject matter has the potential to be quite emotive - the conflict between needing to raise revenue and at the same time trying to ensure that the product is available to as large an audience as possible.
I thought Cavanagh's approach played on that emotion - the inference of the cold, cash hungry GAA denying many the right to see our games, in their pursuit of money.
It could not go unchallenged and the response was an extremely powerful put down.
This is absolutely the crux of it and what he was implying.
