As a supporter of a particular team I'd always want that team to win no matter a damn what way they did it.
As a neutral armchair viewer I want to see games like last year's three All Ireland Semi finals.
The administrators of the game should always be looking at ways of ensuring the games are better to watch, and rewarding atticking flair etc. But first they need to look at allowing defenders to defend . The man with the ball can do anything - 7 or 8 steps, hand off into the face, jump into a back and God knows what else and no free against him. Not to mention catching the tacklers hand!!!
Once a defender makes any challenge it's nearly always a free and if he doesn't get one all he has to do is hit the deck and it's a nailed on free.
Let defenders defend - even if a new tackle has to come about.

Who's happy to lose Zulu??

Some people expect the lesser breeds to just turn up and play it wide open and let the Kerrys of this world bate the sh1te out of us. 
I bet most Galways would prefer to have won last Saturday's U21 game by 8 pts to 7 in a horrible spectacle.

Best team won. You need more than 1 forward to win an A I.
Ref-- less said the better.

All right for Dublin being in a permanent training camp

If this thread is anything to go by, Ros must be overwhelming favourites

Only if there's a strong ref it seems.

Whatever about London who also play in the Qualifiers and NFL it's definitely time to end the NY farce.

 Will Mayowestros make the Connacht final though?

3 years ago Kilkenny would have landed us on our backsides as we had our "2010 year".
We'll see how the Summer turns out all in good time

Enlighten us.

What happened to Jean McConville is no better or no worse than what happened in the early 1900's and no more or no less worthy of condemnation.
There have been atrocities on all sides, British, Loyalist, Republican, Pro and Anti treaty alike. 
all sides have things not to be proud of lurking in the past.
Ireland is a better place today in terms of the absence of violence,
On an aside, fellow Northerners referring to "The Free State" should by now know that our Southern fellow countrymen view it as a term of abuse, akin to calling us Nordies and it is partitionist to boot.

Agree with all that.
Problem is Shinners want ( rightfully in my opinion ) enquiries into a lot of the wrong doings of the Brits and RUC/UDR/UDA/UVF colluders but want their own wrong doings glossed over. Attacking people for pointing this out is not a good way to win friends or influence people.
Then they want the 26 Cos electorate to vote for them in big numbers while calling them partitionist abusive names.
Time to grow up SF lads and lassies

LOL

Some manager will do it yet. I don't think that's enforceable at all.

If the Ref refuses to throw in the ball till 6 men go into the forward positions.....

A nice run up the N61 and N4 is better than batin yer way through the twisty roads of Laythrum not to mention Killeshandra.
I heard Breffni is being used for some other purposes that day??

[because in GAA terms the club based in Ballaghaderren, Co Roscommon is classed as a Mayo club?]

Can anyone clear this up, would a player from Ballaghaderrren Gaa club qualify for Roscommon based on the relatively new parentage rule if their parents were from Ballaghaderren or would they not because in GAA terms the club based in Ballaghaderren, Co Roscommon is classed as a Mayo club?

No. because of the bit in bold.
What is the relatively new parentage rule?
