We need to acknowledge these white elephant projects are achieving f**k all. Pairc Ui Choamh is the same clusterfuck. It's time the top brass reeled in the provinces and county boards over their spending. The amount of cash being pissed up the wall currently is no joke.

If we all leave county bias at the door it's centrally located stadia we need in each province that can facilitate neutral matches. Building large, resource sucking stadiums on the periphery of the country with little in the way of appeal to facilitating neutral games is pointless. PUC, casement and McHale in reality are large vanity projects for those involved which have been a hangman's noose for the county and provincial (casement) boards that pushed them.

Semple and Limerick host a large number of matches each year and have obvious benefits of being close to major road infrastructure. Yet both are rotting into the ground whilst an inaccessible 100million stadium in cork city lies empty. Casement will be the exact same. A lovely looking stadium that will be full once a year at best, maybe only once every 2 but will lie idle the vast majority of the time. Really the home of Ulster GAA should be at Dungannon or Armagh. Centrally located in province and close to good road infrastructure. Clones is the home of the GAA because at the time it was the central point in the northern rail network, making it an accessible site for fans to travel too. It was a logical, rational choice to have it as the home of the Ulster GAA. Now once again a rational and logical decision should be made to abandon the large scale casement project and invest the 60 odd million in a centrally located stadium that can accommodate both a county's home matches and a large number of neutral club and county, womens, underage and hurling matches that means unlike the cork debacle we can actually get some use out of the damn thing.

Great post.

MIchelle O'Neill and Gerry Kelly?

We now seem to have out best players available in both codes. It's been a long time since this has happened.

I was really pleased with both those results at the weekend. Hopefully we can build on them too.

Did we not give it away though rather than it being removed from us?(maybe I am wrong on this but that was my understanding?) ok that was probably on the back of promises mind you.

Either way, it's a part of this clusterfcuk that is a joke.

I agree. Antrim county board culpable too. No one has covered themselves in glory here.

I have to say I do think it was the right call to disallow that goal. Pickford made a great save second half. As someone said good at the spectacular but not so much the bread and butter ones.

Calvert-llewin on some scoring run. The funny part of it is he looks so clumsy yet still manages to keep scoring (albeit that was a bit of a freak one)

I have an LG and there were a couple of things I was looking for recently app wise which were only available on Samsung. You will get more apps on samsung although tv quality wise I think LG do match them.

That table is wrong. Down are second on head to head.

The marginal offside calls don't.

That's a good win. Kerry are a tough team for us to beat and looks like we beat them well,ish, too.

The last time I seen Kerry play us was at Corrigan in. The league a couple years ago, they dispatched us easily enough I thought that day, physically they were big than us and technically matched us  all over the park.

I'd be happy with a one point win or even a draw!

Good luck, game starts at 12.30 so twitter will be way unless it's being covered on radio

They hammered us though we were missing a lot too. Full back was a mountain of a man and one of their forwards - presumably Conway - tore us apart. Won't be easy won down there but hopefully we can do it.

Really is a big game today. I think we will be in for a real battle. Kerry when at full strength don't give us anything easy. We are going in the right direction at least and hopefully today shows us how much but I think it will be a tough one.

Hurling or football

Really poor Madrid team.

They would up here too I think.
