'The GAA is pleased to announce a reduction of €5 on all adult stand prices and terrace prices for this year's GAA Football and Hurling All-Ireland Senior Championships up to and including semi finals. 

This reduction combined with the GAA Season Ticket offer and other GAA ticket packages ensures that the Association remains to the fore in terms of value for money' - Fair play.

More like an admission that they got it wrong at the start of the year and are feeling the pinch with half-empty stands.

Can people like you ever be pleased?

Cavan 2-11 Antrim 2-2.

Good result for the Minors to get their season up and running. Where are they out next does anyone know? I think it's bad form not to let minors play before the senior games.

Anyone at it that could give a bit more detail on the game?

Cavan 2-6 Antrim 0-00 at half-time

Minors are 2-2 to 0-0 up after fifteen minutes

Well lads, just seen this thread pop up on the main page and I had forgotten about it. Thought I would let you know I eventually got sorted and I feel as good now as I have ever felt. 

I had an appointment with McEntee in September 2010 and he told me there was nothing he could do for me because I was suffering pain in more than one specific point in the groin. He couldn't understand how I was getting pain in my quad aswell.

After that a physio referred to me to a Michael Allen based out in the Hermitage Clinic in Lucan and he felt I did have a sportsman's hernia. I got operated on on Nov 17 and I can't speak highly enough of the treatment I got out there. The surgeon was extremely helpful both pre and post op and what really shocked me was he asked did he pain ever filter down into my quad!

I did about two months solid rehab with a physio by the name of Enda King in the SSC. He too was excellent and had a similar operation himself recently so he knew exactly what was going on and understood niggles that I felt over the weeks of gym work and even when I got back training. If anyone is having groin bother and feels they aren't being fully understood by their physio then I would get to him because I know how frustrating it can be.

Happy to say I've had a reasonably successful few months and back playing with a smile on my face. Still get a few niggles here and there and some back pain but nothing major and hope to correct them in the next period of off season.

Keep the faith!

South of the border is the Health Service any better than up here, i.e. did you have to go private and pay a fortune or was it through the Health Service?

Went private but it was covered through Insurance. Two weeks after my consultancy I was in getting operated on. For anyone that can go that route I'd really advise it. Treatment I got out there was top class.

If you were waiting publicly god only knows how long you would be waiting.

Sweet lord I just turned it on myself. Absolutely dreadful stuff commentary pairing....

I agree with P.J.F. This division is still wide open. I predict more surprises ahead but at this early stage it could be between Drumgoon, Denn, Cootehill, and Drumalee and which of them make the least mistakes from here in. Cavan Gaels are the joker in the pack again. You could be unlucky to play them when they have a "strong" team out and then your rivals meet them when they are "depleted"

The Division is wide open this year and i would say its going to be an interesting campaign.

The Gaels situation in Division Two is a joke and really needs to be looked at.

I didn't buy any tickets at my door to provide a cricket pitch for Ireland or similar for M Bell, or Republic of Ireland. I am   GAA person thru and thru, washed the jerseys,lined the pitch, sold the lotto, trained u 12 etc. I  and many others have invested in the the grass roots big time.  I compare like with like --- we  enjoy local club game just same as  All Ireland or Ulster Championship and get value for money watching double header club game for €5.00 each  and I sit in the stand  at my local club game , so why not in Ballybofey.--- that is my comparison, not cricket, not Rep of Ireland nor M Bell or whoever.I did not see many students or young people at the match yesterday comparative to  other years, not did I see very many around the pubs before hand , unlike other years.
the people who set the prices, never pay into the match for the family!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very impressive logic there pal!

One reason for not seeing that many students about is its exam time. Take in travelling to and fro and the game itself and its basically a day wasted. Most students at this time of year will just watch a game on TV.

I know I have been lying low lately but can I just take this moment to say....
