Quote from: thewobbler on January 30, 2026, 11:25:44 AMRecreational GAA for kids?

Good luck to whoever is put in charge of defining the line between a recreational player and a non-recreational player.



And having to tell the parents that their kid is on the recreational team ..

Quote from: Armagh18 on January 30, 2026, 10:08:40 AMAre those other companies directly funding the genocide like Allianz are? Surely boycotting one complicit company is better than none? If we can all do a small bit it would soon add up.
So it is just an easy target.

I just searched and the AI gave the following list of companies that are helping Israel in one way or another. The only one of them that i previously heard in any conversation in relation to this was McDonalds.


Amazon (AWS) & Google: Provided cloud services to the Israeli government and military under "Project Nimbus".

Microsoft: Provides cloud computing and AI services to the Israeli military and government.

Intel: A major investor in Israel with large manufacturing plants, including a $25 billion expansion project.

There are so many companies invoved with Israel and most of us are giving money to them everyday of the week.

Is Allianz just the easy target while we buy stuff on Amazon and use our HP Computers with Intel Chips and Microsoft office?

Quote from: Rossfan on December 16, 2025, 09:23:02 AMIts a fixture not a rule.
Ulster team v Connacht team should mean a Leinster venue with a Leinster or Munster Ref.

That's what you think but that has never been the way. Any team that gets to a All-Ireland Semi Final should be happy about it and not whinging about venues.

Quote from: AustinPowers on November 08, 2025, 11:58:37 PMDaylight is fading but not dark yet.  The floodlights fail. Does the ref stop  the play?

I remember the Wimbledon  final when Federrer complained about the fading light.

So, at  what  point (don't say "deuce")  does it become  acceptable to stop or let  play continue?

PS. I  could see where something  like this could  be  cynically used to a home  teams advantage .

This is what happens when lads have to much drink the imagination goes into over drive.

Quote from: imtommygunn on October 27, 2025, 11:23:52 AMWas it always a thing that you were picked on if you didn't wear one or was this a thing the media decided to create?

The poppy thing is just something that seems to have grown more legs over the years for whatever reason. If it was like that from the start fair enough but I don't think it has been. (In England / Scotland / Wales I mean)

I lived in England from 2004-2017 and it definitely got progressively worse as time went by. I wore a white poppy one year and got some totally disgusted looks

What's the white one for?

They are not white poppies per se, rather white and green. You never know but maybe all white poppies could become a thing for the far right racists?

Most of them lads would prefer a red one.

QuoteMaybe the 13% spoiled votes sent a message, after all?
I doubt it

Election didn't go as planned , capitalising on  the pressure on MM, and trying to butter up  the voters . They  are seeing what way the  feeling  is growing  re: immigration, and  it's juat sound bites to make it look like we're going to do something about it. When in reality , they'll do  absolutely nothing.

its all smoke and mirrors. More fool  those  who believe the slimey p***k

To what end, is it in their interests to do nothing? What do they gain from doing nothing in the current climate?

They will get the Pat on the back from the EU for been a good little country and doing its bit.

I asked a genuine question. The only thing I asked was how did it take so long to call it or what reason would there be and suddenly people are getting upset over it. It was an obvious breach and I still haven't been given an answer. If you can't answer that's fine. No need to attack people over a question mate

You wont get a answer here the only people who can tell you are the officals that were involved.

Quote from: Captain Scarlet on July 25, 2025, 02:15:39 PMI will take the GPA much more seriously when they come out and talk about the demands INTER COUNTY MANAGERS put on their members.

They will however come out constantly talking about the demands of 'the GAA'. It gives the impression that Jarlath & 'the suits' has a tracker for every county man in the country, he has then up at 6am. He makes sure they don't touch a sup...

They have not got a leg to stand on until they tackle that. Even looking at that Mayo GAA housing situation. Why were they not screaming about that?



Just on the housing suituation were they actually living there or just using it as an address to cheat the expences system?

Meath miles off it as expected but they will learn from it whether they can close that gap is doubtful in 12 months.
#14
Alot of confidence from the Meath lads here. IMO they will need to be 8 or 9 up at halftime to have any chance.
