Quote from: clonian on April 15, 2024, 03:46:48 PMLads still think it's a session incoming or you have the ex players now pundits still thinking about the glory days on that pitch. I don't think it would take an awful lot of investment to tidy it up a bit with facilities and pathways etc. You're never putting more covered areas though.
I've got soaked in Clones some times over the years. Only really remember 1 nice sunny day, 94 Ulster final v Tyrone.
Quote from: tbrick18 on April 15, 2024, 11:28:29 AMThe 2nd half was a draw. Yes the game was already won, but the better sides would just keep going and rack up a cricket score.
For what it's worth, Armagh should beat Down and I've no doubt they'll give who ever they play in Ulster Final a game of it. But for me, they're not yet playing at the level you'd expect of a team with ambitions to win Ulster. It still might come...but against a Fermanagh side that were beaten 20 mins in you'd have expected them to pull away in the 2nd half. That's the worrying bit for Armagh in my view.
Quote from: snoopdog on April 15, 2024, 10:57:01 AMWill 22k turn up to Clones this year for Down v Armagh ?. I'd be surprised if it gets 15k. Standing on thr hill last year surrounded by the buckfast brigade is not something to experience. Let alone the pissing rain in a kip of a ground and getting a hiding.
Quote from: Bord na Mona man on April 15, 2024, 10:16:03 AMSpillane, Brolly and O'Rourke while entertaining in some ways, had long since run out of anything fresh to say. Chat GPT could churn out what they were going to say about every game...before it was even played.
Quote from: tiempo on April 15, 2024, 10:16:26 AMCalling Mickey Harte 'that man' seems a lot more barbed than for simply taking on the Derry job, Joe's mother is a Tyrone man and he has a certain fondness for Tyrone that comes through occasionally, he's making the MH issue sound a lot more personal
Quote from: From the Bunker on April 14, 2024, 10:16:52 PMWe all know the Leinster championship has not always been fair or competitive.
But this is the roll of Honour since 2005
Dublin (18) 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023
Meath (1) 2010 and that was an unholy mess.
Two decades of this dominance, and it will only continue.....

The one game that might have filled Portlaoise played in Croke Park.
The other Counties should surely have home and away arrangements so that 1 set of supporters wouldn't have to travel.

Championship is great for the shock result. Leinster would be unreal only for Dublin.Quote from: Armagh18 on April 14, 2024, 09:39:13 AMQuote from: GAABoardMod5 on April 13, 2024, 04:50:17 AM6 Games for 13/14 April:Thought Laois would have had more in them going by league results. anyone see it?
4 Leinster Quarter-finals:
13-Apr Offaly 2-13 Laois 1-8
14-Apr Dublin v Meath
14-Apr Kildare v Wicklow
14-Apr Louth v Wexford
2 Ulster Quarter-finals:
13-Apr Down 0-13 Antrim 0-9
14-Apr Fermanagh v Armagh
Me too. I thought it'd be a 50/50 game.
Laois had a man sent off in first half I think.
Maybe there's a huge gap between lower Div. 2 & 3 and Div. 4.
Dont think Laois can give the league final excuse like Westmeath did.

Dates written Month/Day/Year, like:
February 12th 2024
...instead of the correct way , Day/Month/Year , like:
12th February 2024
Apparently it's only the Americans who write it MDY , so why the feck am I seeing it more and more in Ireland?
Grrrrr!!!!!
I'm sure you know that American English is more authentic an closer to the original than the English used across the british isles?
Yeah , but surely you mean grammatically closer? The numbers/date thing is a different issue
But that's another statement that annoys me. Should be British and Irish isles, or just Britain & Ireland , or Ireland & Britain.
Work at lot of projects with Canadians, Mexicans and Yanks so we've agreed on the 12-Apr-24 format to avoid any confusion.
