. As to who one won ? well just look at how easily catholic/nationalists in their 20's have accepted the legitimacy of the Northern State...says it all.
What were they to do seeing as their Reps agreed to a deal that would see the 6 Cos remain separate ( for now) to the rest of Ireland and this deal was voted on and accepted by the vast majority of the Irish people.

The "elderly man" is a By Election candidate and former Co goalkeeper. ;)

Can you imagine how far and wide the media would have spread this if was GAA fans involved.

€10 rise a bit steep >:( . 13% or so and inflation at 1%?
We'll be getting the London and (hopefully) Connacht Semi Final included next year.

Seein as the Free State was abolished in 1937 there can't be many "Free Staters" left now.

hope it's a fairer process than the Rhubarb one  ;D
Poor oul Sligo don't seem to be a favourite for Managers.
In 2013 Walsh kept them waiting for months until he saw he wasn't getting( or wouldn't take ) the Ros job. No wonder Sligo were so bad in 2013.
Now Flanagan is leaving them in suspense while he waits for a call from someone else.

I often wonder is the could give the option where you could choose the option where there was no commentary just the sound of the crowd.  At half time it would go back to the studio where panelists would discuss the game any contentious issues.  Would people choose that? 

That said, I'd miss Michael Diegnan on hurling.

For the Irish speakers out there, what is the quality of the commentary on TG4?  It seems to be less full of sh*te/filler (maybe because I only under stand half on it).  I wonder could the be given a go on TSG?
Tg4 and RnaG cater to a different audience who are already bilingual so they can take in more info and there tends to be less waffle. RTE has to have something for everyone because it is a much bigger audience.

They still talk in just as many banal generalities. Or in Sean Ban's case Pat Spillane-esque arseology. Knowing a second language doesn't increase anyone's ability to analyse or commentate on a sport. Michael O'Muir was good because he was simply an excellent commentator with a distinctive style, not because he could throw a few gaelic words in.
Micheál Ó Sé used to do the minor commentary on RTE. No messing, no bullshit, just described what he saw. But if you had no Irish you were goosed...no sub titles....but he was top class.....plus he has 2 AI medals ;D
The language is much richer. They don't have to dumb down like in the bearla. Irish is a class thing even though a lot of people look down on it. It's a funny old world.
Apart from Seán Bán Biased Gaillimheach  Seó Spóirt is the only adult GAA programme on an Irish TV Channel.
The TG4 commentators are really top class but please leave son of Rossie man Coman Goggins at home from now on.

Must be a lot of housebreaking going in Rhuland on if men in their 80s have to carry their valuables in their back pockets  :-\

It ended in a kind of a "score draw". We then got an Agreement ( not a Settlement) that most can live with.
Meanwhile Demographics will get working in the 6 Cos and as English Nationalism grows in the "New UK Constitution" means less money going to to the 6 Cos........

According to Michael Gallagher, Paddy McNicholas has got a round of applause after his speech! He ain't going anywhere soon it seems.

Not telling anyone what was in McStay's package either, but 'anyone in their right mind' wouldn't have accepted it according to Paddy Mc.

This all sounds very Fianna Fáil-esque.

Wrong party! Have you not been paying attention ;D
Blueshirts have learnt how to do things the Haughey way.
As for thye bit that "McStay had proposals that I knew weren't acceptable to the Co Board but I'm not telling anyone what they were" -  Stalin or Hitler wouldn't have had the nerve to come out with that sort of stuff.
Was he afraid the Interview Committee might just be more impressed with McS/McH and therefore couldn't let it get to that stage?

Hopefully the fallout will make the Hundred Pages here and will screw up the Rhus for three or four years.

Pete Warren has withdrawn from the selection process prior to the interviews taking place, looks like it's a done deal for Kevin Walsh to be the next Galway football manager at this point.
Have ye appointed him yet ?
Or maybe ye're waiting to see if there are any Rhubarbs free when the circus is over  ;D
