(I meant total goals)

Remaining unanswered:
4.   How many AIF's have been drawn?

Has anyone else any questions? The place is infested with questions about soccer and songs and gayness and more soccer, which is just a form of gayness anyway.

For number 3 above, only two of those answers are true if you count hurling AIFs as well.  (Which two?)

Another question: what is the only county with a 100% record in hurling AIFs?

For q3 part 2 Antrim is definitely one of them with the other being Laois?
Antrim have a 100% loosing record in all ireland finals if that counts?
For a wining record try Kerry?

Must have been around the time of the redevelopment. If i remember rightly hogan stand completed first. Cusack was being rebuilt  sept 94. So 94' when Down defeated the cheeky dubs

[Homer]

Kerry v Offaly 81/82?

[Homer]

Kerry v Offaly 81/82?

With Kerry going for 5 in a row.   No , the bandwagon was burstn to the seams !

Down, Dublin is probably the right answer but I remember those two finals were fairly low attended.

Which player played senior football for his county before he played senior football for his club?

[Doogie Browser]

James McCartan? 

[Bensars]

Which player played senior football for his county before he played senior football for his club?

Peter Canavan. Was a member of killyclogher hurling while playing vocational and minor. As Glencull never played in Tyrone i assume it was prior to the formation of errigal Ciaran

[RedandGreenSniper]

Which player played senior football for his county before he played senior football for his club?

There's probably a good few. Fairly certain Ronan McGarrity is one I think. Just back from American basketball scholarship in 2004 when Maughan brought him in from nowhere. Maybe the Ballina lads can confirm?
