anyone else notice how hurling has dropped of the radar since it was separated fron the gaa discussion? i wouldnt be the biggest fan in the world but i used to read the hurling threads on here and today there is none on todays game in either this section or the hurling section. i think merging them again would be a good idea after all this is the gaa discussion section...

happy St Patricks Day to everyone on the board! and especially to all those in different parts of the world out celebrating today.. keep it safe.

sad to hear of the news that dan kavanagh passed away. he played in 5 senior all irelands for both kerry and galway but was on the winning side just once. one of those finals was the 1947 final in the polo grounds in new york. RIP dan

All you ever needed to know about whats messing up the markets, its eight minutes but its worth it. I probably could put this in the youtube thread but its really a bit different.

in a lot of counties the county champions get to pick the county captain for the following year. this year waterford (hurlers) done away with the practice and management picked the captain. corks hurling captain didnt make the cork team last week. kerry (football) have had FIVE captains this year (inc 3 in one game against waterford) and in tom humpries book one of the reasons given for the closeness of the dublin team in the years since was their captain tony hanaghoe being a 'natural' leader as opposed to kerrys many captains. is it time to scrap county champions picking captains? it is after all a leaders role with important functions and should the best man not get the job?

i hate gossip but i cant help myself. went for my lunch in a well known tralee pub yesterday and who do i see hanging out but 4 or 5 of the kerry footballers celebrating as well they should (wont name them cause i'm discreet like that) and former kerry selector ger o keeffe along with fai chief executive john delaney. John is married to a tralee girl as is a regular visitor to the town and of course the fai are having their agm down here at the minute. now thats one session i'd love to have been on... 

anyone read the extracts in todays irish times? its out in the next week i think and if todays extracts are anything to go by it'll be a cracking good read for anyone interested in football....
