They've apologised for all the f**k up from last week, including the calculation error that Norf Tyrone spotted. It is an improvement from last week's, but I can't help but think that they would be better selling the paper on a Monday, rather than a Friday.

[SlimShady]

for a paper with such detailed views on Sunday games it would be mighty difficult to get it out on a Monday I reckon. They'd need lots more staff and have to work weekends!!

Havent got mine yet.  If Feasible a Monday or Tuesday paper would have been a very good result and match report paper.  Friday could not be a match report paper as its too long after the event.  I cant understand their decision making with all the club games and county games providing additional paper fill to their capable writing team.

There's still room for improvement.In a question and answer session with Joe Kernan in to-day's edition, Paul Welsh asks big Joe the following;

"Since winning the All Ireland in 2003,have failed to even reach the final.Despite much promise, can you lift Sam again?"

jaysus lads there is obviously goin to be a few mistakes with a new publication.
it seems there is a bit of nit-pickin going on. if anyone went through any national paper you'd see a load of basic errors.
i havent seen it but if a few typos are the only flaw and the articles are good well then fair play.

[Tony Fearon]

Paul not only got the year wrong, but the fact that we reached a subsequent All Ireland Final, in the year immediately following our 2002 success, in 2003 (remember Gormley's lucky block!).

In fairness he has confessed to me via a private message and I have granted him full absolution for his sins

I always knew Tony was schizo!

[Square Ball]

Read it today, very detailed and well worth the money, despite the mistake pointed out by TF.

By the way, why was there a photo of Rodney Trotter wearing a Kerry shirt on the back page?

Ronan McSherry trumps for me again. All the anecdotes are fantastic!

How can anyone make a mistake like that. Imagine that Tony get the year of the AI victory wrong. Be sure it could happen to anyone.....couldn't it Tone  !!

[BottleOfStout]

Todays edition was again good.  But still lacking enough content relating to hurling.  Time to change name to "Gaelic Football Life"

[ziggysego]

I enjoyed it today as well. Still a lot more that can be done with it, but that's to be expected at the start. Long time it continue.

I thought it was an excellent read and I like the approach it's taking to reviewing and previewing - not regurgitating match reports. Brolly's well worth the read - his Baywatch/TG4 analogy was amusing. I also like the tit-bits which accompany some articles (e.g. the pros and cons beside the 'Into the Light' article and the '5 things'  beside the Marshes piece).

Burns can be interesting but there's something bland about his articles - it's like he's repeating the majority view. McSherry was a fine read as well although I don't really like that 'we're better than the Premiership' self-indulgent approach. (Irish soccer/rugby players are just as friendly/approachable). I don't like the head-to-head scores and comments (in that I think they're contradictory and, in my opinion, wrong). Finally (see what i've done), the editor's attempt to apologise for O'Neill's tally had an unfortunate typo.

Finally, Joe Kernan's article was intriguing. What I took from it was:

- Oisin McConville is not a leader of men
- He bates his sons
- Bellew cannot stay on his feet
- Francie was touching Donaghy
- Kerry neglected Donaghy for 3 years
- Armagh boys lie down
- He likes rugby boys
- He's addicted to stirring frys
- He's a chronic wine drinker
- He can't read
- Gooch is better than McDonnell and Moynihan better than McGeeney

All subjective though.
