GAA Discussion / Club Championships

With the all new condensed Inter County Championship calendar I wonder how many, if any of those Counties eliminated in June have started their SFC and/or IFCS during July?

GAA Discussion / Dublin v Ros Croke Park 5/8/18

« on: August 01, 2018, 11:39:59 PM »

I know it's pointless  (like ourselves) but sure it's still officially an All Ireland Quarter Final and deserves a thread.
If we keep the margin under the Tyrone one we'll not be embarrassed.
Can it not be called off please?

General discussion / Michael D seeks second term

« on: July 10, 2018, 11:18:39 AM »

I see this oul lad wants a second term.
You'd think at his age he'd ride off into the sunset and draw his 4 or 5 pensions.
Hope someone stands against him.

GAA Discussion / Rule changes to improve football

« on: November 22, 2017, 01:24:47 PM »

Seeing as the International Rules thread is turning into a discussion on the playing rules maybe the subject should have its own thread.
I'll start by saying :-

Enforce the four steps rule rigourously
Restrict throwball
Abolish throw points
Black card to include cynically holding on to the ball when the opposition get a free.

GAA Discussion / 2018

« on: September 19, 2017, 11:23:01 AM »

Now that the 2017 Inter County season is history and the annual Autumn flurry of big club games is upon us -
What sort of timescales are proposed for Provincial and All Ireland Championships next year?
Has anyone seen any type of draft calendar or are they waiting for the hurley crowd and the Special Congress?
I suspect Club League games will have to go ahead without County Players in the main.

GAA Discussion / Monaghan v Ros, Middle of nowhere 19th March

« on: March 13, 2017, 09:29:12 AM »

I presume it will be another defeat for our boys if we can find the place and the Bus can negotiate the laneway?
Our 2 away trips yielded easy victories for Tyrone and Mayowestros and Monaghan aren't too far behind either of them so anything other than a comfortable home win will be a big surprise.
