the cantebury stuff is called armour but as far as i can tell there is no paddin.
if we went down that route lads would be goin out with the rugbytech shoulder pads and the likes.
there is some stuff that is slightly padded coz i remember seeing clancy of laois in a magazine ad for it.
it has become a fashion thing with loads of our minors gone out to buy the black cantebury ones to match the jerseys i hear.

i see o'neills have some too in arnotts.
its hardly armour mind more insulating. was thinkin of gettin some for training where they would keep the muscles warm and stop you pulling anything. the lycra shorts were the same idea for lads with bad hammies.
dont see too much need for the armour in matches unless its bitter cold.

just seeing as this is on the non GAA board and the lads got a slatin for leavin it armagh only lets make it nationwide.
now these are the proper hardy hoors not sneaky dig merchants.

as a lilywhite in the early 90's we had the likes of davey datlon and sos who had little regard for their bodies when lining out for kildare. although still think big paddy o'donoghue was hard to beat. ive seen him turn lads literally upside down with a shoulder.

so nominate away lads

the council are clearly telling setanta taht if they give the name it will be sorted as is everyone else on this board.

i cant understand this at all. if someone from your club was responsible for basically ruining your entire year they should be hung out to dry if they dont have the balls to own up.

what kind of rececption is this man gettin as he lands into the local! he's hardly a hero

it drives me mad when ya go out one day and the ref has no problem with you letting the ball roll up your arms and the next day you get blown.
i feel it should be allowed if the ball has sufficient pace. all the same id like the ref to actually tell the players his stance on the issue before the games.

its only an idle threat. seeing as they are getting paid a shitload they wouldnt want to rile HQ too much.
at the same time they should be on the sideline but i think there is a huge problem at club level and that should be looked at. we all see it where there are twenty 'mentors' on the sideline.

jaysus lads there is obviously goin to be a few mistakes with a new publication.
it seems there is a bit of nit-pickin going on. if anyone went through any national paper you'd see a load of basic errors.
i havent seen it but if a few typos are the only flaw and the articles are good well then fair play.

they should scrap the u-21s. the lads at that age are gettin loads of football as it is but apart from that in my club we really couldnt compete if we didnt let minors play. thats done in leixlip but they can field 3 seperate panels where we have to overlap.

its up to the individual case for the club to respect their players.

fairly brave launching at this time of year as was said not much to write about.
as a leinster man it would be good if they had a bit from other provinces, likle a little round up.
i havent seen it but at least they are advertising. the gaa seem to presume things will just promote itself. its kind of poxy to walk in to easons and see loads of specialist sports mags and only one or two gaa ones, none up till now were weekly.
but if it goes well surely they would look at a leinster market where there is more hype and revenue available.

well done, as i said i havent seen it but its about time that a weekly mag came out.

that was brought up at a meeting a few yaers ago by on eof the younger lads and it was shot down.

dont think its worth the hassle but its a shame when there is a rural parish with a great minor team and you see two young lads like keith cribben and graven in midfield and then they go their seperate ways for adult football.

i know most of the younger lads wouldnt mind.

but ill leave it, we are movin away from the point of the thread.

yea lyncher it was balyna but we only had one clogh. he was a good one mind!

Club: Johnstownbridge
County: Kildare
Leinster 1998. personally  winning an u-16 b title with the club, we were serious underdogs and we all went to harriers in tullamore after. good times.

i love this a source said crap.
its like a source close to britney said that she is glad to be rid of kevin, she just wants to party for a while, etc.
the cannings didnt go running to the media the reporters went to them.
at the time the gaa violence was the hot topic so that was latched onto.
rem straight after it they chatted him and the headline was he may quit hurling for good but when you read it it was "yea i would consider my future.." this was breheny ringing up a young lad who was very upset naturally and asking him "would you consider quitting?" canning said he might and away to the printers with a hot scoop for the indo.
lads if loughnane really wants anyone he will get them. he is a young lad anyway so its not like there is a rush on for him.

point taken dinny.
to be honest i was goin a bit astray. the D4 thing is more about the fans.
one of my mates went into a pub with a workmate from dublin and was asked first off what school he went to.
it wasnt an acceptable answer as it wasnt private so they pretty much didn't speak to him.

geordan murphy played for kildare underage too.

the Bridge to win IFC in Kildare
kildare to get to leinster final
railway cup back strong and f**k the Rules Series

leave AZ alone.
i prefer munster coz tehy are country lads and have more in common with me than the likes of drico and d'arcy. you dont see them in lifestyle magazines every week.
if you had the choice you'd be on for a dirty sess with the munster boys. itd be some craic gettin messy in the pub.
with the leinster lads it would be listening to shite from D4ers then off to renards or club 92.
anyway if we could just as easily support leicester coz they have 8 leinster natives.
