Apologies if mentioned before

But TSG said  this  was the first ever Munster football final to be  played in Ennis?

Is that true ?

The crowds are small enough to hold it in Ennis anymore.

Yes. Anytime Clare played Kerry or Cork in Munster final usually played in the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick.

I didn't see the game but I see Mayo yet again lost to the referee. When will the GAA do something about this? If its wasn't for bad referees Mayo would be unbeaten since 1884.

Cavan has had the same problem for the same length of time -1! (Mayo 1951, Cavan 1952)

Bit of a joke near the end. Galway got the charity frees that helped them cross the line. Gough made so many bad calls earlier, that he did not know his arse from his elbow in how to even it up. A complete meltdown, Joyce got into his head from the sideline and he succumbed. Can happen to the best of us.

Embarrassing post. Mayo got absolutely ridiculous decisions from minute 20 to minute 70. Even the Mayo clowns around us were saying it

You honestly believe a couple of soft frees at the end made up for complete ridiculous one-sidedness for most of a game? Take your beating pal

To be fair I only seen the game from the 58th minute on. And during that short stint - Galway got a ridiculous call against them. After that there was a procession of soft frees to Galway who were chasing the game. I take my beating - Galway won. And I cyberly shake your hand in congratulations. But I can still say Gough really lost the run of himself at a very important juncture.

Sarah barely celebrating that goal, is it because the season is done or is he on the way out??

Both

The money that Dublin get isn't an issue for me.

It's the use of Croke Park which, to me, gives them a huge advantage. More than anything else.

Can you name a team who have less money, less resources and less supporters in other sports who are successful?

I see that Amy Broadhurst has chosen to compete for Great Britain in Olympic qualifiers in Bangkok
The Dundalk boxer had been looking to change allegiance after Irish Athletic Boxing Association said they would not be putting her name forward.

I suppose Boxing in the Olympics is a major ambition for any Boxer. No doubt it was a tough decision. Best of luck to her.

Well done Dublin. Gutsy underdog through to another final!

Which quote will I use:

Every team wants to play Dublin in Croke Park

Every team wants to beat Dublin in Croke Park

Croke Park is a neutral venue

This is a one in a generation group of Dublin players

The GAA needs a strong Dublin

Why aren't other counties doing what Dublin are doing?

Ah your being "small minded and divisive"

Yea this is just a 'once in a generation' Dublin team. It'll be interesting to see the attendance today.

Yeah, they'll have to have it in Croke Park to hold the attendance. Or so I'm told that's the reason all Dublin games are there. Plus EVERYBODY wants to play Dublin in Croke Park (they don't say everybody wants to beat Dublin in Croke park as much anymore).

I have entered a token amount of links below. You look at these Dublin clubs, you look at the facilities, you look at the numbers, you look at the money involved, you look at their professional coaches.

All doing great work - but, you can't help but see their advantages.

Bring that onto the next level - Intercounty, and you see how high the bar to be reached is. Home games ALL the time added to this. It's a complete farce. The gas thing is that the Gaelic fraternity are in complete denial or just don't want to deal with this.

Can anyone work out how Dublin are as good as they are? The template is there so why aren't other leinster counties copying it and competing with them?
My thoughts on it is that it's mostly down to an almost endless supply of money and a very good County board. The obscene amount of money they were granted by the GAA was used very wisely and they are still reaping the rewards of that investment, money is rolling in from sponsorship and things are only getting better for them. So what do other counties do or is it a lost cause.
Thoughts please.....

''His wife Eleanor Donaldson, 58, is facing four charges including aiding and abetting the offence.''

Does that mean turning a blind eye to what was going on?

I've noticed that none of the papers are referring to him as ''Sir''

Arsenal are now asking questions of City. 5-0 tonight not only got them 3 points it improved their GD. They have 2 more games out of the way. If City draw - Arsenal have it in their own hands.

Jota injured. Again.

2 weeks.

Two Weeks at this stage of the season is like saying he'll be back for next season.

F*ck me Bunker I've read some shite on this board but that's deffo up there 🤣🤣🤣🤣 sorry/glad I missed it first time round. Those last two sentences will take some beating.

When you've time on your hands write down the amount of points the likes of United Arsenal Chelsea Spurs finished behind city in the past 6,7 years then revisit your musings 🤣🤣🤣

I was playing Devils advocate......
