sorry just an aside from the GAA windfall thread it sickens me when i hear lads saying "ah the GAA is minted, they should pay the players". a guy i know suggested a that county teams go pro coz the GAA "can afford it. look at how good rugby has done"

yeah all the AIL teams are fucked and the poor lads in the west are left in the cold.

do people not realise that every club in ireland gets grants from the GAA if they are doing a big project and have it planned well.
do they not realise all the money involved in setting up a blitz or something like that.
its not a vaible option to go down this route. unlike the darc and drico who wouldnt know the name of any young lad fron his club team the gaa is different.
why dont they ask what the pro sports are doing to their money and the irfu ask someone from ab AIL club the great benefits of professionalism.

it should go long term for the coaching of kids. if they all got proper coaching through camps there would be less of a gap in skill levels down the years.

as a kildare man. on a national level Johnny Doyle is often forgotten about, he is overlooked coz we are crap at the mo.
over rated players the list are endless in kildare, great white hopes abound.

under
national level paul barden is shockin under rated, pure class. mcguigan as well, you see how important he is to tyrone when he is gone. times gone by o'cinneide who was more than a dead ball man. excellent vision too. anthony lynch too nearly forgot him.

over
yea mossy quinn, peadar andrews and goggins. how are they makin it still. peadar gardiner is a wing back who doesnt defend. sean cavanagh is a player still in search of his proper position too. dont think he is a proper midfielder.

best of luck to the moores and confey.

would love to see paddy murray get an all-ireland medal after two horrible years with injury.

moorefield are big hoors, only saw a bit of crokes v the neath and they must be worried about the power they are facing.

its some ball of dung.

not good for any county.

even though we won leinster with odwyer and lacey it never sat well with me to have them playing.

lacey actually called a lad i know a 'meath f**ker' after a match coz of where his club was based. I GIVE UP! the irony of it all

to be honest heard a few things from lads up there, not media stuff.

not sayin he's a sack but at times he undermines management.

its bewildering why he's not picked for fermanagh. id say they just had their fill of him.

it'll go grand for a while but if he doesn't get his way he'll fall out with keoghan too.

put him in the same boat as frankie dolan, big talent but not worth the hassle interms of the team.

i love the international matches but went to my first match in donnybrook there 2 weeks ago.

jaysus it was some ball of shite. youd nod off.

id rather a league match any day.

jaysus lads Johnny doyle has a field day and the main talking point is the armagh half back line!!

im a kildare man and it kinda annoys me the way JD gets ignored a lot. he is pure class.
he's a good club man too and will score heaos from the midfield for allenwood.

either way though its early days yet. sure we beat ye last year and our fortunes went in different ways in the end!!

i have a 1987 leinster jersey at home and a lad i know has a yellow tyrone keepers jersey from the 70's.
wore it into whelans a few times and every thought it was legend.
the old school ones are the shit.

i must say i like all the current inter-pro jerseys.

as for kildare the new jersey hasa terrible shape to it. the keepers jersey is good mind.

its a matter of urgency for the county. seriosuly though. mels in longford grooming dessie and gary dolan, steve lohan and a host more. then pats navan providing the backbone to under age teams.

im on the border of meath and offaly so most of my mates went to edenderry or trim cbs, any of the handy ballers anyway.

lads there is a full programme of 11 a side tournaments every year in Europe.
great craic altogher. you have a benelux league in football and the top two go into the euro league to play the spanish, german and french teams.

in the hurling it is more based in northern europe with zurich winning it this year but there are teams everywhere.

great way to make base and if ya know anyone you should go to an event.

jaysus wouldnt mind only since he went to france brennan had clamed down.

i tells ya id much rather a lame kick eric than a box or two off trev.

thats him finished id say though.

cheers BF i heard about them, used to play soccer with the son.
they have the richmond pub there on church st.
i was told by a few other lads who are prone to shite the story, cheers for the confirmation.

who were the brothers who marked each other. im doin a thing in college about that at the moment. brothers playing for different teams
