'happy new year'!!! It's May Tyson ffs 😂

Full time in Ruislip; London 0-10 Down 1-24

I'm really not impressed with the technical aspects of gaago - the whole streaming malarkey is yet another reason why this is an ill conceived idea doomed to failure.

Another gripe, we're paying for subscription, why are there ads in there too??

sky sports and tnt sports have adverts and they're a subscription service, it's not a new thing, it's the way of the world of TV/streaming, dont think it's a big issue.

If gaago is doomed to failure as you think, who shows the games they are currently showing? There's 3 games on gaago this evening, there's no way rte commits to that sort of coverage.

What's going on with Offaly? 2 really poor results for them

Is the match on GAA Go tomorrow?

don't think the London match is being broadcast anywhere.

The U20 football final against Westmeath is live for free on Down TV at 2.15.

The hurlers in the McDonagh cup v Laois is live on clubber TV at 3 for anyone looking to watch those games

Do many counties have their own streaming service? I know Armagh tv do a good job with club games etc and Down and Tyrone have their own as well I think. Surely it'd be possible to let them show their own counties games if gaa go/rte don't have it.

Could rte not have some sort of red button service to even link these together?

people want/expect to watch all the matches for free on TV, they don't want to pay for gaago, they'd crack up altogether if you add in another streaming service 🤔

All-Ireland B semi final result. Winning score deep into added time.

Down 2-10 Mayo 0-15

Thank god for that. Don't know what the point of this competition is?

why would you want less games for players at u20?

Great win for the u20s, into the all Ireland B final after a 1 point win over Mayo

I didnt get to Newry yesterday. But sounded like a routine win yesterday. Limerick tried to flood the defence to keep the score down. Anyone make an impression? How did Ben McConville play. McKibben and McGovern both got a few scores. London up next who demolished Offaly in Tullamore. The group stage doesn't get the imagination going. 

it was a very 'professional' performance from Down yesterday, turn up get the job done and get plenty of players game time in doing so. Apart from first 10 minutes Down were always in control without really blowing Limerick away.
Daniel Guinness, Ryan McEvoy, Pierce Laverty were all very good, Odhran Murdock who played a lot of the game at full forward won a lot of ball and showed well in the forward line

I need tickets.

Fingers crossed that some will go on Ticketmaster, else I'll be out with the begging bowl :-/

no tickets going on general sale according to latest Ulster council update

Great finish, brilliant kick by Gleeson to win it

Have the gaa announced the date and time for the London game? Anyone thinking of travelling.

[Same people complaining probably spend a few hundred pound to fly to england and watch 90 mins of 0-0 scoreline and lads falling like they broke their leg]

I for one enjoyed the game, having went to Clones expecting Down to be on the wrong end of a heavy beating, I was hoping to see what the Management where tactically capable off in order to make a much less physical and skilfully developed team cope with a top 10 team and thats exactly what I got. It was tactically spot on! Frustrated a team in every area they thrive on and hot them for scores outselves, only issue is our pack of ability to shoot from distance. In fact, the final score from Armagh there was a foul on Doherty that the ref didnt call. Was it great free flowing football? no because we would now be reading comments about how poor we are and unable to put it up to better teams if we had of tried. Tyrone and Donegal have won Ulsters playing frustrating football, you do what you have to. There are no rules that will change football back to the 90's. Coaches and backroom teams are too smart and  professional now to use rules to advantage. Just leave game alone. Same people complaining probably spend a few hundred pound to fly to england and watch 90 mins of 0-0 scoreline and lads falling like they broke their leg and walk with the ball. Least we get it for £20

Did u not watch Doherty on Saturday diving around the place?? It was embarrassing - I think he got 1 free out of 4 diving attempts. But in the Down club championship he gets all of them frees as our referees fall for them every time.
U20s win the Leo Murphy cup tonight - Laverty should introduce a few of them to the panel going into the B cup. Time a few were cut adrift as they are not getting near the match day squads. 

Who would you take up?

Doran is the only one who would make senior,  the rest forget

Only 1 player from the whole group?
Write the rest off? They were in an extremely tough group. Drew with Tyrone who are in the final.

IMO

anyone who watched last night's match against Fermanagh wouldn't be looking at calling up too many players to the senior set up. It was a really low quality match with loads of turnovers and some really poor wides.

Finn Murdock, Senan Carr, Jamie Dornan, Tom Mccarroll, Cian Cunningham were potential names for the future but don't think any are ready at the minute.

What a difference a year makes for Donegal. Organisation, high work rate and fitness they have in abundance now. It was decent game in Celtic Park, competitive throughout made it intriguing watch and I'll be surprised if the same doesn't happen for the final. Is it a gimmick for Philly McMahon to give the Man of the match to a player from a losing team?

Who'd he give it to? I switched over after..
