Thanks folks. The company I'm looking at has slashed the excess cost - only €20 extra for the full package and was quoting at €270 extra originally

Was told this before yes. People seem happy to pay money for a pizza that they wouldn't pay for say a Chinese or a chippy.
Mate bought the stove and all the malarkey that goes with it.. not worth the hassle, its far cheaper to order
I bought a stone that goes in the oven, wasn't dear but should of bought a paddle too. Works well but even with that there's a lot of work with the dough etc. They are really good when you go to the hassle though
Ah here I was at this last summer too. I bought a pizza stone and stuck it in the gas bbq. Made the dough and all that. It's defo worth doing as something a bit different for the family. An ooni would be better I'm sure.
If this weather ever wised up I'd be ready to give it another whirl.

Quote from: ck on April 15, 2024, 11:14:08 AMThat last podcast annoyed my head and I usually like the podcasts. I'm 100% a GAA man 1st and foremost but the constant it's nothing unless the GAA do it is bollox. My lads go to the local soccer club and they're very much a community club and do a lot for the people in the area and are absolutely delighted that they had a load of lads and girls from the surrounding GAA clubs playing with them.Quote from: Mario on April 15, 2024, 10:36:15 AMHe wrote an article the week before the league final saying it would be a success if Derry get within 6 points of this amazing Dublin team. Since then he's made a few comments that it's only the league. Then on his podcast last week he said he'll support those Derry lads no matter what as they are giving everything for the jersey, it's just Mickey Harte he doesn't like, but a few months ago he was saying no Derry player is good enough to start the Dublin team. The quality just isn't there and processed football can only get you so far.
From a football point of view he wants nothing more than Dublin to hammer everyone and he can then somehow link it to Pat Gilroy.
As a Dungiven man I find it very hard to listen to him these days. He is a walking contradiction. He's not stupid and I suppose he is staying relevant as we are talking about him so he's probably achieving what he set out to do.
I struggle to listen to Brolly anymore too. Used to enjoy him but he comes across now as slightly unhinged. Uses his platforms to target those who he hates incl Derry players and strikes me as a man who is content when Derry lose, he's not a real supporter. It's pretty clear to me of those who he targets have all one thing in common, he's highly jealous of them. He only ever has one objective and that is to make everything about him!!

The weather, the hammering the lack of facilities in Clones, its a ground no longer fit for purpose, anyone saying otherwise is wearing rose tinted glasses and thinking of the good oul days.
A few weeks later I was in Thurles for the Tailtain cup, Tipp v Limerick in the hurling was on after as part of a double header. The contrast in atmosphere, facilities, organisation etc was stark.
Having said that il more than likely be in Clones on Saturday week.
Lads still think it's a session incoming or you have the ex players now pundits still thinking about the glory days on that pitch. I don't think it would take an awful lot of investment to tidy it up a bit with facilities and pathways etc. You're never putting more covered areas though.
I've got soaked in Clones some times over the years. Only really remember 1 nice sunny day, 94 Ulster final v Tyrone.
But you went home with a lump after James Mc Cartan's boot landed on your head?
It's the roads to and around Clones I have more of a problem with. It would be a great day out if the train network extended to Clones, but there's no hope of that happening

Quote from: snoopdog on April 15, 2024, 10:57:01 AMWill 22k turn up to Clones this year for Down v Armagh ?. I'd be surprised if it gets 15k. Standing on thr hill last year surrounded by the buckfast brigade is not something to experience. Let alone the pissing rain in a kip of a ground and getting a hiding.

It's a part yes, but, with the speed of players bursting through on goal, kicking a heavier ball from the hands, off the ground, drop kick, able to fist the ball in from a few yards out, keepers saving is almost a bonus. Angles can be covered etc a la soccer, but it's, literally a different ball game. Add in being a link player and the kick outs, it's much more than the ability to stop a ball going into the net
But the ability to stop the ball going into the net is a huge factor in someone being put in that position, anyways this is diverging from the thread topic and probably a bore to those coming in for championship chat, my remark about Morgan was a flippant remark as to what Tyrone have to offer, albeit I do think he was not the keeper of the league, but suppose for another thread.

Left to their own devices we'd have blue on blue and red on maroon every week. Horrible to play in. Horrible to watch.
If it was up to me, every club and county in Ireland would have an all white away kit, and would wear it every time they play away.
Any club or county that plays predominantly in white would just have to wind their necks in an accept that this is for the greater good.
All white will go down well with the mammies doing the washing.
I got ridiculed on twitter last year for saying there was a colour clash in the Ulster final. Derry should of been wearing white too.
