The Derry game in 95 was the best memory of all those years.

The Derry game of 1995 was the best memory of my lifetime following Tyrone - easily the best.

I know we won 4 AI titles but that day was hard to beat. Actually the first AI win was a bit of an anti climax. But in fairness the 2005 final was a brilliant final to win as was 2008.

The opposition, the rivalry, the excessive heat on the day, the tension in the stands, the tension on the pitch, red cards, the animosity, the hits, the intensity in the air, the late winner - it had absolutely everything.

We will never forget that day !!!!

Was in the Gerry Arthur that day. No one that I could see were sitting in their seats towards the end of the match. aAll standing  Unreal atmosphere

Raya a strange signing?

Think Arteta still not fully convinced about Ramsdale. Turner away

Want to paint all my wooden fences round the house.  What's the story with hand held paint sprayers for this job? Any research I do suggests they are the way to go so why do I see so many people spending hours hand painting their fences.? Also what is the best hand sprayer to get. You see some at 30 quid and others over £100. Anyone with any knowledge ? TIA

Have I got this wrong ?
Did it not say last week that Logan and Dooher future to be discussed ?

Big meeting tonight !

[The anchor is brilliant and the panel aren't afraid to express their own opinions.]

You'd think it's a good thing that the UK get access to the game on a free to air station with many more thousands watching it than would usually.

But nah people giving out and moaning again as usual!

The BBC coverage was excellent and has rightly drawn widespread support on Twitter. The only complaints I saw there were a few newcomers to the game who didn't fully understand the scoring system and would have liked it explained. I really enjoyed listening to the Irish celebrities which was a great idea for connecting with British GAA novices. The anchor is brilliant and the panel aren't afraid to express their own opinions.

Exactly that, we just didn't get to hear enough from them.
I thought the celebrities was a real cringe feature tbh.
BBC coverage this year has been excellent but for me, the pandering to the wider UK audience in the final really took the gloss off the coverage for the final.

Was too much pandering alright. Patrick Kielty who was part of the celebrities needs to be told not all players that play for their club is originally from their parish and not all inter county players were born in the county they play for.

Also, didn't Kielty offer his services for 'Match of The Day' ? I presume he meant 'The Sunday Game'

Wheres sidebottom these days ?

Great to know that we have some outstanding candidates ,who post here , for the job if indeed they decide to step down.
A few men on here know the problem and how it can be solved. Hopefully one of them will take over and we can all look forward to glorious days in Croke Park. Armchair experts 🙄🙄🙄

Good to see that you recognise that it wasn't just a management problem

And why what you stated above is the management s fault ? Be specific

Darragh Canavan is happy for them to stay on and he'd know a lot more about the state of things than you

I've been specific. I've given you reasons that I believe lie with the management. Inability to keep players happy on a panel, inability to get the best out of the players or build confidence, tactics too ponderous and slow to transition to attack. They had an AI winning team in 2021. And they did brilliant to win the AI. But there's been a drop off in too many  players forms since to simple say it's the players fault.

You seem to think that Tyrone ought to have won the All Ireland this year. For all we know some players may have lost that 'hunger' after having won in 21. Not the management fault there if true. Management can only do so much. We are not entitled to win the All Ireland every year. Maybe you should give Darragh a ring and tell him he's got it all wrong !

Jimbob, can you give me one example, since the foundation of the GAA until this day, where a player was asked in a media interview if he would like his current manager to stay on for the following year, and where the player said "no"?

So you are saying that daragh is not being honest ?

I'm saying there's no way of knowing from a media interview if that's his honest opinion. Now since I answered your question, maybe you might answer mine: can you give me one example, since the foundation of the GAA until this day, where a player was asked in a media interview if he would like his current manager to stay on for the following year, and where the player said "no"?

Yes. 1953 a Cavan player said it.   What a stupid question !,

Therefore highlights how stupid bringing up Darragh's comments are.

Doesn't even remotely compare. Darragh said what he said and who is anyone to question whether he was being dishonest with the reporter. HE even mentioned other players as well who has a similar mind to himself.

Do you still not understand Snapchat's point?

Naw. What did he/she say. ? Couldn't be arsed looking back

You seem very convinced it is not a Management issue. Are you laying the blame entirely on the players?

Not blaming anyone.
