Inspired suggestion. That would be amazing.

A few Years down the line before its up and running. DCB contributing 2 million Euro of its own money ( no more petrol money for the lads for a few years), the GAA paying the rest, and we are letting all other Leinster counties and visiting counties use it because we are that nice   

The 2 million is not Dublin's own money. It was money given them by central GAA towards a site in Rathcoole. In effect, Dublin GAA are getting this for nothing.

Sure we don't need it, we are winning without the help from a performance centre.

All other teams can use it too, its not just for Dublin, they will use it but we have good facilities in UCD,DCU, davids, Swimming in blanch. Under Gilroy they trained in the snow on Partmarnock beach etc.

Cork getting a redevelopment of a stadium, Jesus split them, Casement park, time for a split lads. 

Someone please start up the Wexford v Dublin match thread for the love of Devine Christ.

You can rant all you want but the fact remains that Dublin will get this facility for nothing whilst other counties put millions of their own cash into theirs.

I didn't mention splits and what provincial stadia have to do with the conversation is beyond me.

Time to split Antrim! Oh wait...

presumably we do the same with the cork and waterford hurlers following the 'melee' after the penalty?

Ah but look-it, t'was only handbags, Ger.

Gaelic games are traditional sports played in Ireland and Scotland. The main Gaelic games are Gaelic football and Hurling organised by the Gaelic Athletic Association in Ireland and Shinty organised by the Camanachd Association in Scotland.

Hurling is older than the recorded history of Ireland. It is thought to predate Christianity, having come to Ireland with the Celts. It has been a distinct Irish pastime for at least 2000 years. The earliest written references to the sport in Brehon law date from the fifth century.

As shown by contemporary sources and Irish literature, clan warfare was commonplace in Gaelic lands. Young Gaelic males organised themselves into small, semi-independent warrior bands called Fianna, which engaged in constant training, hunting and raiding during the warmer months.

Classic stuff. The Croke Park crew really have gone to shit.

We have the Sky Bet links at the bottom of each online piece they do.

Maybe the Sun will introduce 'The Page 3 popup' on the app.

My own personal favourite was from Lorraine Montgomery:

"Good buy"

Ah yes, the Montgomerys. Of French origin I think but probably a lowland Scot (Ayrshire).

You have to hand it to James I. He did a quare auld job after a few practice runs.

Au Revoir, Lorraine!

Ah "relax"- classic trollism. Well played.

I apologise for using the word relax. It was crass, offensive and will not happen again.

[Are you saying that Rachel Wyse's role is comparable to the Darts girls?]

The walk on girls?? Are you saying that Rachel Wyse's role is comparable to the Darts girls? Lads, ye're losing the plot. Joe Brolly said that Sky's formula is basically a Baywatch Babe and a few analysts. Anyone looking at their presentation of Live sport will know that that is just not the case.

Joanne Cantwell and Máire Treasa Ní Dhubhghail on TG4 are comparable roles to what Rachel Wyse will be doing. Are they adhering to some 'formula' as well?

Erm, no. Relax.

Those TG4 weather girls... Unreal.

Meet the Darts girls. An exclusive interview with Jess and Jess courtesy of Sky Sports.

not Sky Sports News now

LOL. Indeed, not.

Brolly is not making a point at all. He's insulting the woman for no other reason than his nose is out of joint because maybe RTE will have some real competition now. And having a woman as an anchor is no bad thing at all, if she is knowledgeable about sport and sporting competition. I think Evanne Ni Chulainn would do a good job in that role on RTE as well. Watch this space if the Sky approach is successful.

Sounds like making a point to me.

@JoeBrolly1993: SKY's entrenched beautiful anchor formula is shamelessly sexist, designed for their overwhelmingly male audience. That is the point.

Google search 'Sky Sports Presenter'

Get off your high horses. Brolly is merely making a point about the nature of Sky Sports presentation. It's aimed at a primarily male audience.
