Last post by Captain Scarlet - Today at 03:31:45 PMKildare v Roscommon and Monaghan last year is when they actually do OK, when teams fancy beating them and it opens up a bit they somehow find something.
BUT, when it's a dogged game and they have to actually move a defence around they are fecked. 4/1 are decent odds, but Fermanagh were much better than us already this year.

Last post by Captain Scarlet - Today at 03:28:03 PMExactly, let lads fill their boots a bit too and get a few quid for interviews and appearances.
If children don't see you on a screen these days you may forget it. They also love a stat. My nephew is Liverpool fan and reeled off the career of Xavi Alonso when he was in the mix to take over...he couldn't tell you a thing on most GAA players...
GAAGo is now a good product, but they should have more snappy bits and cut-downs for socials and a youth-focused show.

Is anything ever not 'mad' in that fellas head, brief respite from illegal I suppose
Maybe one day he'll say madly illegal and his head will explode
Ironic of course the same fella swerved a drug test, both illegal and mad
Man city are getting the all clear by all accounts. The FA are just stalling as to how they can back track out of the whole mess without pissing off loads of fans
They are as guilty as the late OJ Simpson. If Manchester City get the all clear it will show they used the best solicitors/lawyers that their billions can buy.

GAA Discussion / Re: GaaGo
Last post by thewobbler - Today at 02:58:50 PMThe only real marketing drive undertaken by county teams (unless fundraising for their holidays) takes place after matches when youngsters can storm the pitch and meet the players. And the use of the term "drive" is wrong, it's an entirely organic thing that admin/mgt cannot control. But look how successful it.
And the GAA won't thrive in terms of marketing until the stars of the show are made more accessible to the public. A good start to that would be to somehow breakdown or dismiss the current (and longstanding) ruse that a player who revels in the spotlight is condemned as being too big for his boots unless he delivers 10/10 every week. This is why Clifford is such a rarity. Nobody can misconstrue his performance levels.
Hurling I think would benefit tremendously from personalised helmets. But traditionalists and management teams would likely be aghast at the thought of someone within the ranks having an individual personality.
Hurling and football would each benefit hugely if lads didn't have to be 10 years retired to enjoy a Laochra Gael profile. Why can this (or an equivalent) show not focus on current players? I think we know why. Anyone taking time to do that instead of train would be seen as too big for their boots.
Hurling and football would both benefit from a 15 min morning magazine "skills" show each championship weekend, that runs through top 5 scores, top 5 catches, top 5 hits, top 5 team moves, top 5 saves, top 5 bloopers, and so on. But it would be better again if a handful of players involved vox popped the action. And GAA Go would benefit hugely if they ran this as the filler before coverage started.
Small ideas in the grand scheme of things.
But ultimately I'd expect reluctance here comes from within the camps, rather than from the marketing people in GAA land.

What are we thinking this year? Killeeshil very hard to look past, expecting a big year from them. In terms of dark horses, I'd be looking at drumquin and glenelly. Two good young sides with plenty of quality.Full house
Eskra vs Killyman
CNG vs Augher
Strabane vs Derrytesk
Urney vs Killeeshil
Glenelly vs Brackaville
Aghaloo vs Tattyreagh
Donaghmore III vs Brocagh
Errigal III vs Drumquin
FFS, even Ian Paisley Jr could have predicted them results.

They'd rather be abusing people and consorting with Tommy ten names and UDA sectarian murderers.
The only open border is the one on the map between the 6 and 26 and nobody but Jim Allister and Bryson types want that closed.
No, most people in the south want that closed to illegal immigrants! According to your beloved legacy media this morning, that is. Now, away back to the anti-fa boards.
Would ye away on with this 'legacy media' nonsense. Everyone quotes them when they print a story that confirms their particular point of view.
