Both Tesco and M&S in Newry selling bottles with the logo but not the deposit, so bottle smuggling is the new thing.

?
Pundits leaning Armagh from what I've heard so far. "It's their time!" seems to be the consensus.
Quote from: tbrick18 on May 08, 2024, 07:00:59 PMBut they've done nothing in recent years to show they have the nerve to win a big game - I think they are just short a few players and need to focus on the football and not the physical antics they often get themselves involved in. If they focus on playing their own game and I think they'll do better than trying to out-tactic Donegal.
Quote from: Blowitupref on May 08, 2024, 04:05:30 PMLeague and championship this year 10 games each.
Donegal have scored on average 18 points per match and conceded 13
Armagh have scored on average 18 points per match and conceded 12
Quote from: Rossfan on May 08, 2024, 10:18:58 AMThe GAA just doesn't do marketing.
Tailteann tickets should be €10 with kids free.
Make an occasion out of each Counties home game, kids meet the players afterwards, every kid gets a free flag etc.
The 3 big Company sponsors could be asked to do the publicity stuff seeing as the GAA marketing Dept. seems to be in that dusty room with the Carlsberg complaints phone.

Think someone was saying theres a few different events etc on in Cork that weekend so everywhere is booked out or extortionate.Quote from: Wildweasel74 on May 07, 2024, 04:12:39 PMDerry away to Galway at 5:30 on a Saturday, taking the piss, that's some spin to come up the road again on the same nite.
It could be worse. One problem now is that accommodation is expensive and hard to get. The Ulster winners are away to Cork on the June bank holiday weekend when there isn't an hotel room left in the place. It a fair oul drive from Armagh and a serious one from Donegal. The Ulster runners up get to go to Derry which might be a hard game but is less travel time for fans from DOnegal or Armagh.

Quote from: seafoid on May 07, 2024, 07:07:38 PMMay the best team win. It would be weird to have Galway, Armagh and Westmeath in the same group again.

His frees into the wind at the end won them that game. I remember he got a lot of stick over the past few years, notably from his own countymen.Do they really? He was a calamity against Armagh goalkeeping more inclined with junior b than an all ireland quarter final. He did well with his frees at weekend yes, but criticism after the Armagh game was fully warranted.
Quote from: Rebel84 on May 06, 2024, 09:04:39 PMThoughts on the very large protest versus the very small counter protest in Dublin today? The Shinners didn't seem to be popular with the majority of protesters.
Quote from: Lubo Moravcik on May 06, 2024, 09:16:35 PMThe Irish are the biggest hypocrites on the planet with regard to immigration. The Irish government were lobbying the Biden administration recently regarding undocumented Irish in the US. Currently estimated at about 50K in number. (probably all unvetted military age males as well, shock horror)

Ultimately this match was only an appetiser
Quote from: David McKeown on May 06, 2024, 01:39:24 PMQuote from: armaghniac on May 06, 2024, 12:11:00 PMYesterday morning on the Met.ie website the forecast for Sunday had rain the later part of the day. Yesterday evening the forecast for rain was gone, and it predicted dry and sunny, Today the rain is back but a bit earlier and likely to be a problem. The BBC website predicts light showers. Weather forecasting in Ireland is not yet able to predict this far in advance.
Two types of meteorologist in the world. Those who don't know what the weather will be like and those who don't know that they don't know what the weather will be like.
