The Dubs are hard to beat at home.
It's a big help to be playing at home no doubt about it.
Feel sorry for Louth as they have a lot of good players but they just can't compete against a professional setup for 70+ mins. Not many other teams can either.
Explain how the Dubs setup differs to other counties....? Leaving aside CP
GDO's in every club.

Look at the money Dublin county board get from the GAA. More than all the rest put together.

Quote from: Brendan on Today at 02:24:24 PMI'm probably not watching enough football outside of Derry and my own club, but is it now normal to concede the opposition kickout by retreating as far as your own 45?

Derry people don't like spending money.
Don't mind spending money, but I do mind being ripped off. Accommodation around Galway, especially if taking a family, is extortionate.
I'll pay my Gaago price before lining the pockets of some hotel or b&b who are sticking the arm in.
They're hardly sticking the arm in because of some fans travelling from Derry that'll number in the low thousands.
You're looking at last minute hotels in the most popular getaway city in the country just when tourist and wedding (stags, hens) season is kicking into gear. If you booked in advance you'd have a chance of getting something reasonable. At a weeks notice? No chance
Government aren't helping matters by filling every hotel bed they can get their hands on with refugees

Newry Shamrocks, Burren, Mayobridge etc are fundraising, and I'm happy to support it. But a club from e.g Derry? What in holy f**k are they doing taking GAA money out of Down?
If you arrive at my door the first thing I'll ask is "do you pay your senior manager?"
And if the answer is yes, then you can f**k right off
If you've money for that, then you've got your priorities all wrong.
Do managers in any clubs get their filled envelopes from club funds? Maybe they do, I'm not sure, but the ones I know of are all paid by benefactors (allegedly of course)

Quote from: ONeill on May 09, 2024, 10:42:52 PMAye was laughing at that.
A lot of the criticisms were coming from people who support men dressed in fancy gowns with mitres on their head, holding croziers, who are part of a murky cult that excludes women and abuse children.
Witchcraft could be on the rise.

An Antrim club appeared 3 nights in Ballinascreen the week before last... they've been raving about how well they've been received. To be fair our people would be good at supporting any GAA draw and we get plenty of visitors because of that.
I know you feel bad not buying but we're all grown men and women if we don't want to buy a ticket we don't have to!!Quote from: screenexile on May 09, 2024, 10:41:47 PMIt's a military exercise now I've heard of clubs mapping out housing estates and hitting an area 2-3 times to make sure they get everyone.

I'd always buy a ticket.
It's a hard job and we'll all have to sell at some stage.
Tickets seem to be back in fashion. For a while it was all corporate gigs for the fundraising.

Another "it's their time", "greater need" analysis.
Which I think is fair enough, but it's pressure.
Reminds me of Derry in 1993, when Tohill ploughed through the muck and the Donegal backs to drag them to the title and AI shot they felt they'd fail to grab the previous year, which is why I am a little worried about men like Rian O'Neill being particularly driven!

Where there's a will, there's a way! Don't be giving up just yet
Options:
A. GAAGo - £10
B. Salthill carshare- £20 ticket + £40 food + £20 fuel = £80 min
C. Salthill solo or with family - £20 + £40 + £80 = £140
D. Salthill family - £50 + £100 + £80 = £230
D. Firestick - £35 + £10 (monthly sub) = £45
Be glad there's option A on this occasion?
They are ripping you off for the old fire stick charges if ten quid a month lad.
Must be a Wateryside man you working through.

She literally self-identifies as a witch.
Some lads here love to think they are awfully progressive and trigger happy smearing other people as narrow minded bigots. Whatever makes you feel good about yourselves. Personally, I think a grown adult actually believing herself to be a witch and running about in plastic horns, chrome nails and covered in body paint looks absolutely f**king ridiculous.
I saw some of the clips of "celebs" arriving at the met gala the other day in the most ridiculous outfits you could imagine. One was a woman wearing a dress that she was wrapped so tight in that she literally couldn't walk into the venue and had to be lifted and carried, upright, by her minders. I thought she looked f**king ridiculous but I suppose she's just really progressive and I'm a closed minded bigot.
And they may well think Wranglers, tucked in checked shirts and brown slip on boots are ridiculous.. Surely each to their own?
They may well think so. And they should be absolultely entitled to think as much without the likes of yourself riding in on your high horse to accuse them of being narrow minded bigots. Similarly, while I think a grown adult is entitled to self-identify as a witch, wear plastic horns and chrome claws and insist on being called 'they', I'm still allowed to say that I think they come across as absolutely ridculous.
No high horse here...calling a person a 'freak' etc because they look or behave differently, surely thats not cool in any man's language?
And yes, if course you're allowed to call someone 'absolutely ridiculous' , but it has to be a 2 way street, no?
I've called nobody a freak but there's a mentality among some that any criticism of Bambi is used as an excuse to throw around accusations of bigotry or intolerance. And of course it's a two way street. That's why I said Bambi would be perfectly entitled to regard someone in jeans and a tshirt who doesn't self-identify as a f**king witch, as ridiculous.
