Aye 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.

Outstanding

It'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.

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!!

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.

It's just really a procession at this stage.  If Cargin went all out, they win the league.  They will cruise to another championship this year.  There is nobody stopping them.  We are watching Man City like dominance and its hard to know where it will end.

When they get to Ulster?

Only joking

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!

Hopefully Rian will finally live up to his ability and get us over the line in a big game.

 Armaghs need is probably greater than Donegals, I'd put money on Donegal being in the final again next year regardless whereas we could struggle next year if we've another failure this time. How much that "greater need" will matter I'm not sure.

Listening to GAA social and McConville loving getting the digs in at Mayo management. He was turned down to be involved with Mayo couple of years back.

For an IC manager McConville does a lot of media work. Wicklow must not be paying much.

I'd say he isn't driving down the road for the good of his health for all that!

One of the few covid benefits - got bit of peace for a couple of years 🤓

[Reminds me of Derry in 1993, when Tohill ploughed through the muck]

Will never know how big Tohill stayed on his feet throughout the game, men bouncing off him while all around him, both Derry and Donegal men were sliding and slipping all around him. Still the best individual performance I've ever seen.
Philly McMahon would have given the MotM to someone else if he was Co commentator 

on the losing team!

Something has leaked to the bookies. The public vote has been massive.
