Quote from: Snapchap on Today at 11:44:40 AMOK I really like the gaa social podcast, but can someone please have a word in Tommy Niblock's ear and tell him to tone it down on the self praise for the podcast ffs lol
Prompted by his most recent tweet today, here's more his tweets introducing entirely different episodes in just the past year or so:
- "Some will say this is the best podcast we've created. Considering the powerful people we've had, I appreciate that's big speak."
- "This podcast has everything. Beyond powerful"
- "This is the story of Frank McGuigan. It is among the most powerful podcasts we've ever recorded."
- "Tristan our videographer, turned to me after recording and said "I don't think there's many we've done as powerful". I think he's right."
- "It's probably our most powerful podcast yet."
- "In perhaps the most powerful episode of the GAA Social, former Armagh manager Brian Canavan talks about the 1998 killings of Damien Trainor & Phillip Allen in his Bar. "
- "Probably the most powerful episode of the GAA Social we've ever recorded. Armagh Gaelic footballer Aoife Lennon & her remarkable story.
- "This is the most powerful podcast yet. Richie Power has won 12 inter-county All-Ireland's with @KilkennyCLG - a hurling icon."
And while you're at it, tell him to stop asking every guest if they listen to this podcast and to stop telling us each week how phenominal the rsponse has been to the previus week's episode.
All that aside, it's still, unquestionably, the no 1 GAA podcast by some distance!

Us fans can merely speculate though!
Carlow have done really well considering no points but have not shipped the heavy defeat that Antrim had last week so when we meet our advantage is a home game against them.
Dublin are not going to take us lightly either so would take an even bigger result away from home to gain third for us.
The Laois V Kerry match on Saturday is the springboard game to coast into the final. For Offaly, every game for them going forward is knockout with their biggest threat in the form of Kerry at Tullamore later this month. These two games will really decide the Joe McDonagh Cup.
If we lose this Saturday and Offaly beat Kerry on May 19th then we are in a dog-fight with Westmeath in the last round - a dogfight in Mullingar is really where we don't want to be.
A vital game this Saturday coming up.

I wonder how many first seeds will win their qf . Will it be 3/4 like last year ?
Quote from: general_lee on Today at 10:54:20 AMSo we have already apportioned blame in the most recent fatalities to the deceased because of their age?
The three prior fatal collisions have claimed 5 lives, all over the age of 30. The road in its current form is simply unfit for purpose.

Some teams might now be thinking a loss wouldn't be the end of the world, so it takes the edge off things.
I'm pretty sure both Donegal and Armagh will want to avoid the group with the winners of Mayo/Galway and Derry!
Mayo and Galway are certainly in a tough position. The loser will get Dublin, Ros and Cavan; the winner the aforementioned group with Derry, Donegal/Armagh and Westmeath.
Armagh beat Galway and Westmeath last year and drew with Derry. That would do again.
In any case, teams can reach the preliminary QFs by kicking the weakest team and then you see who you get there, although the sequence of games can banjax you with injuries etc.
