Close!! When I heard that Stephen Kernan and Tony McEntee were missing the equaliser I was worried.

It works for me!

Any chance that the voters of Kerry would get rid of this eejit.

At an emergency meeting of the County Executive held in Ballybofey last night, it was agreed unanimously to contest through the appropriate authority, the decision of Ulster Council to use Clones as the venue for the forthcoming championship game between Donegal and Armagh.

Another appeal against an outrage! I blame the church, the Armagh people would miss mass if they had to set out at the crack of dawn to go to Donegal.

Why not ask Feargal McCormack to sort it out. he knows everything!

perhaps a team to play at "Clones" 

Well they reckoned that the likes of Armagh, Tyrone and Dublin were not going to qualify for the NFL final and that other combinations wouldn't be overcrowded.

However there is an issue re if Croke Pk is not to be used, while there are lots of big stadia in Munster there are not so many in other parts, there needs to a another medium sized ground in the Eastern side of the country.

"It's below pathetic. If that's the length you have to go to in order to score a point of some kind then this isn't the organisation that I thought I belonged to,'' he said.

Not that Mr Harte is beyond scoring points. If he doesn't like the rules of the GAA he can always leave, he had the yellow card after the first use of university players and he did it again in the full knowledge that the Ulster council would take action.

What is the Fermanagh U-21 team like? I would say that Down shouldnt have much problem in taking them?

Sure Down are the aristocrats, no problem for them beating an Ulster team at any level.

Armagh typically bring a minimum of 16000 odd supporters to a championship game, two thirds of these would be people who had attended some of the league games. While an increased capacity in Ballybofey might have swung things, as it was a lot of people who would have liked to go would not be able to. The big strength of the GAA is its ability to offer the possibility of live attendance at big games, why negate that by using venues where you are locking people out?

Clones holds 35000, so no need for advance ticket distribution and all the headaches that causes. 

True Ulster Gael, why don't you resign?

Sure there'll be great game between Armagh and Tyrone in Division 2 next year!

it will be up to the referee, surely if there was a squirmish in the game it'd be difficult for him to pick players out if there was 10 or 12 bodies in black and amber!

it would only really be problem if some of the players were horizontal!

Where on Earth have all the other Galway posters gone?

the newspaper suggested today that there were less than 1600 people there, since this included quite a few Armagh people you cannot say that this game exactly gripped the imagination of the Galwegians.

Well if they choose .co.uk rather than a simple .com they are obviously trying to make a political point of some sort, like the Belly Telly.

No doubt a "stylish" team like Tyrone would have no problems beating unconvincing teams like Dublin and Armagh, odd then that their most recent AI was won having gone to a replay against Dublin and by a 72nd minute soft free against Armagh. Yes Tyrone won two AI finals, but against teams that had won the AI the previous year and who were never going to be at full tilt the second year. You only have to look at the dismal performance of the "stylish" Tyrone in the years after the won the AI to see how a team is likely to perform the year after they won the AI.
