We've seen less and less of Joe Brolly this year on RTE. Hopefully they've seen him for the bluffer he is (Galway are shite, tell a story, use big words) Watching SKY yesterday showed what analysis could be when it is done properly. Peter Canavan brilliant. James Horan excellent. They just cover the game!  No insults, no personal attacks, no rambling stories, no egotistical posturing and no raindrops on the camera ffs.

Don't forget Rachael :D :D

GAA Discussion / Re: Cúl Camp

One of the best things ever done by the GAA is the Cúl Camps. We had close to 120 kids in the field all week. They get quality coaching from the lads and lasses for five days. Theres normally a high profile County Player in attendance. We had Donal O'Hare...sound lad. 5 days coaching, superb kit bag and gear for £40. Great value for money.

This thread is a bit disappointing considering it's only two days before the Ulster final of two of Ulster's most sucessful teams.

Do people see any changes in the expected teams? I wonder what role Hampsey will play this game? He seemed to be a handy man to have around the middle third and was another scoring outlet.
I'm not sure Conal McCann will start this one and will not be surprised to see McClure named.

Just wondering, are Down still unbeaten against Kerry in the championship or is that record gone now?
How many times have they met?


Yes still unbeaten. They met in 1960 Final, 1961 semi final, 1968 final, 1991 semi final, 2010 quarter final

Dont agree about Gaelic Football lads...have you ever watched the 70s and 80s videos of Kerry and the Dubs hoofing the ball up in the air and then seeing who can secure possession without being maimed???

Good luck to him joining a crew like that...let the lads get married and a lot of problems will be solved. Speaks volumes when one their senior management team is up in front of the beak in Australia on child abuse charges. Sensible intelligent people can see through this shite...blinkered fenians cant.

Ger Canning is worse. I thought his flippant remark when there was real concern over Fionn Fitzgerald on Sunday was poor. "He'll have a bit of a headache in the morning". That was a nasty bang.

Surely was, could've done some serious damage to himself, great to see him able to lift the cup at the end. Canning is another dose but isn't too bad on shows like Seo Spoirt. Looks like we were spoilt for years with O'Hehir and Ó Muircheartaigh, surely to Christ though rte could come up with a better way to recruit their commentators. Then again I suppose they'd have to be arsed about their GAA output before that could happen.
Nail hit on the head right there Croí...they have the best GAA presenter in the country sitting right under their nose and he is being "wasted" doing (albeit) very good documentaries on TG4. He should have some role in fronting or presenting the RTE GAA flagship coverage.

Canning was commentating with Benny Tierney as his sidekick last night for Mayo v Derry. He mentioned Benny winning the AI in 2002 and then said..."there's Damien Barton who won it the following year." Like I mean FFS.. :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\

Mickey Linden scored 3 points for Mayobridge in the Down Reserve Football Championship today. He'll be 54 next month.
