Need 2 referees.
Get rid of fisted points from hands. -why?
Frees inside the 50 yard line must be from the ground. -why?
Clock stopped every time ball goes out of play.

It's an ugly way to score, and as someone pointed out most of the time it's not actually fisted.

Frees from hands never taken from appropriate place. It also makes our game too much like Aussie rules. Plus, frees from the ground are a dying art. Sheehan's frees on Sunday were superb. We need more like him.

Well done Tipp. That third goal was class. Worthy of winning any All Ireland. Let's hope we'll see more of these lads in the future. Munster needs more than 2 teams.

It'd be great for the GAA though.
Just saying.
Had a Dub honestly saying that to me yesterday in work. Said Croker would be empty without the Dubs, it got better though. I asked him would be travel to Croker if he lived in Killybegs or Dingle, he said probably not.  ::)

Croker would be empty without the Dubs?  Well, the last 15 All Ireland finals have been very well attended without them! 

Not only that, but the Dubs bring nothing to the capital on match days, financial-wise.  Those from further afield stay in hotels, B&B's, eat in the restaurants, cafes, and fill up in the service stations.  Sure, Armagh and Tyrone fans have paid for that M1 in the last 10 years!  :D

Any body but Dublin...no such place exists anyway, they are all sons of the culchies who cried when taken back from grandads farm at the end of the summer holidays. I would even support Roscommon instead of Dublin and believe me that would take some nose holding.
Are these the same culchies who hid under their straw mattresses when the Brits needed fighting in 1916? Dublin, the city that fought an empire (by ourselves). We'll be doing the same on Sunday and please God with a bit more success! ;)

Quit talking shite, Coddler.

You'll be stuffed on Sunday.

I'm hoping that Kerry decide that they are sick of winning Sam and let Mayo play instead.

I'm sure Dublin would prfer that too!  :D

Personaly would prefer to see Kerry win. I prefer their style of football and believe they have a more natural flow about how they play the game. Also the whole "the GAA needs a Dubline win" shit sickens my hole so I'd love to see it shoved down the hacks throats!

Amen to that, brother! 

The Dublin fans are a disgrace too.

GAA Discussion / 31 counties supporting Dublin??
September 13, 2011, 12:32:24 AM
I read an interview with ex-Dublin manager Tommy Lyons in today's papers, and he stated that 31 counties will be behind the Dubs on Sunday.

So, everyone from outside Kerry and Dublin...who will you be supporting on Sunday?...

I'm with Kerry.

To be fair, Kerry copied Tyrone's defensive tactics of 2003 to win Sam in 2004.  But, of course, Kerry's was great football, whereas Tyrone's was puke.

Galway and Wexford met in last year's final too, wearing the same strips.  I thought surely they can't let it happen again.  But, they did...

There have been an awful lot of shows on about the terrible events of 9/11 but not one of them has asked or answered a very important set of questions. Who were the people on those planes? What was their history? Why did they do what they did? What were they hoping to achieve?  I think 10 years is long enough for people to be mature enough to ask these questions and try and understand what makes people murder 1000's of innocent people. Its is not just as simple as the brainless bush line of "they hate our freedom".

Or how two of the largest steel structures in the world at the time can crumble like a house of cards within minutes of impact? Now I'm no engineer but something never added up quite right about that day. But I guess we'll never know the truth.

There has been explanations on why/how they fell.   I am all for the conspiracy theories and would love to know the answer to alot of the questions but I doubt that anyone has a baldies regarding what should happen when two huge passenger planes crashe into two skyscrapers at around 1368 foot in height, unless they can replicate the event to prove what actually happened is any different than what did happen.

Where was the complete forensic report? Did I miss that? What about the numerous witnesses reporting the sound of explosives inside the Towers.

there was a conspiracy, the Muslim terrorists conspired to blow the fcuk out of the twin towers and the pentagon, if any arsehole thinks the yanks did it to themselves they are nut jobs.

How do you explain the BBC's report on the hijackers being alive and well after 9/11?

The good thing is that if John Morrison is talking to the players on the pitch before the match and the manager of the opposing team runs up behind him and hits John a big shoulder charge dunder in the back, John doesn't move but just glances behind him with a 'What was that supposed to be?' look making the opposing manager appear very silly.

Caffrey and his players made tits of themselves that day.
