Lads just like to pass on my best wishes to you for the Ulster Final this weekend, and be safe in the knowledge that every 'man, woman and child in Derry' will be kicking and catching every ball with you on Sunday - and applauding 'the legend that is BAKER!!'.

Possible classic in the making! Monaghan at home, need to step up to the mark! Derry on the other hand, wounded animal - JUST WATCH EOIN BRADLEY ROAR!

Totally disagree with a banner displayed at the Armagh / Monaghan game - Joe Brolly like so many other gaels has dedicated his sporting life to the betterment of gaelic football not only within his own county but also within Antrim and in particular St. Brigid's GFC, Belfast in the hope that such traditions at grass root levels grow and become the foundation of something each community can identify with! For such an articulate Gael, to be publicly ridiculed, not only is an outrage on free expression but also gives a licence to those to take such the opportunity of television coverage to display their disfavour against possible current political situations, opposing religions playing our national sports, or even the opportunity to mount a more personal attack on opposing team players or management.  Such banners should therefore be banned from all county games - as our tradition dictates not only the amateur ethos, the essence of fair play but also the 'ability to respect the GAA, and its members'!
