The coverage in the states is already available on an individual game or season pass basis. I paid $200 for a season pass on Premier Sports, which is broadcast over Ustream. As a Donegal man, I certainly got my money's worth this year!

I'm sure many others would beg to differ!

Never let the facts get away of the propaganda machine . . .

:D :D Good to see fergie putting another dog leash in it's box

Also great to see how much the dipper fans get so annoyed when these champions league games come around  ;D

How exactly did he put her in her box? He accused her of asking him a silly question and rather than cow down like Motty et al she advised him it was a perfectly legitimate and valid question to ask . . . and he's a narky drunk bellend!! Well maybe that last bit was probably just in her head.

I don't think he's that big a loss to be fair. Best and him are better at different things but overall I would have them level. Both average at darts, flannery better in the loose, Best better in the Scrum the one thing Best would have over Flannery would be his discipline as Flannery is likely to lose the head at a crucial time in a big game.

That hasn't happened in a long time in fairness. And Flannery has played in a lot of big games.

He hasn't played a full game for Ireland since that fated kick against France . . . I still think he would have been a liability on the big stage.

Brilliant to hear all the talk of "the white pele" again . . .  let Rooney get his hat tricks against below par opposition and then fold when it matters or when he's caught with his trousers down again!!! Nothing quite like United supporters getting carried away in the first 4 games of the season!

Anyone who thinks Dublins forwards are up there with Kerry's are a mile wide of the mark

I'm with Kerry also ... I don't like this 6am training, horsing supplements and hitting the gym mentality that will prevail should the Dubs win.

I think that Kerry have the better footballers and they will win. Regardless of the fact KM thinks all of Nordieland are against them!

So you don't like the idea of teams training then screen?

I'm with the dubs as are most people I've spoken to.

Nothing to do with teams training. I very much believe in the amateur ethos of the game and I just think things have gotten carried away recently. Lads have to train for Dublin first thing in the morning, go to work then come home and train for Dublin some more. The days they aren't collectively training they're probably expected to do a gym session as well.

You have to be kidding me about the Dublin team taking supplements also. Most half decent Club teams are at it and the shape those lads are in there is no way they are not taking supplements and heavily watching what they eat.

I'm worried that the fun is being sucked out of the game with this sort of craic. I don't see how that can be enjoyable at all. I would hate to see Club teams start going down that route and lads losing huge chunks of their lives for a championship that only one team a year can win.

Just an opinion really and I'm sure many disagree with it but that's the reason why I would like Kerry to win.

I think you're getting your wires crossed Screen.

Dublin trained twice daily in January two days a week - Dublin did no more collective or gym sessions than any other serious county so you can scratch that off your list as to why you'd prefer to see Kerry beat us.

The Dublin team don't take supplements - 'watching what they eat' is a seperate issue entirely and the Dublin team like every other half decent setup has a nutrionialist.

Regarding your comment about the fun being sapped out of IC games - are you living in a time warp where team preparation is a couple of laps of the field and lads off the drink since the Tuesday? Dublin have done no more training than Kerry this year.

::) ::)

You have just proven my point! What possible enjoyment is there in training twice daily in Januray??!! Ridiculous!!

I also understand the need for a strength and conditioning programme I just think that people are taking it too far. I don't think any amateur sportsman should have to take supplements if he's got a balanced diet, doing a decent gym programme, training twice a week and playing a match on a Sunday.

When I was growing up we used to go down to the pitch and kick a few points or kick a ball up against the wall to practice catching for extra training. Now it's getting in a good sprint session or an hour in the gym. Don't get me wrong it isn't just Dublin who are doing it, there are many more but I like the fact that Kerry have better footballers than everyone else and that's why they win.

It would be even better if we didn't have to listen to KM and his nordiebashing!
