Does anyone else require me to clear up any smells they have been experiencing?

Yes - what is it in Sugar Puffs that makes my urine smell of the said sugary breakfast cereal.

How the hell did they keep that quiet?

Aidan O'Rourke is the master at all that...

A poll to get opinion on which team engaged in the most gamesmanship would be interesting.

Hope the ruffians display the same 'courage' to burst through the security guys and garda if they need to at the final whistle.

Not right to take it out on Pat though, he's beat up enough in the studio.

[img]One contributor mentioned an evolving membership/contributor base which I suppose means some ebb and flow in terms of overall activity and the number of interesting threads.

For what it's worth I think that all contributors (and particularly senior/hero members) should do their bit to encourage the membership base to flourish and welcome new folk.

Maybe I'm wrong but at times I perceive new contributors get a somewhat cold shoulder from the so called heroes who prefer only to comment/reply on each others threads and comments. There is also the gauntlet each new contributor has to run through when the heroes  bring up the " you're a kid on summer holidays" stance. 

It would be nice to think that all board members remember they too were once newbies.

Anyway my door is always open.

The Jimmy from Senegal/Donegal Song is the worst All Ireland song I've heard.

Fact.











(well maybe more of an opinion)

In 02 and 03, I seen countless numbers of people failing to get tickets. People who support club and county all year round. Then to see the people who did get tickets, some of them couldn't spell fotball. But it's the same in every club in every county. The committee will always sort themselves, family and friends with tickets first, before throwing the scraps to the rest of the peasants.

Every club member in Donegal and Mayo should be able to get a ticket for this years final. But we all know that won't happen.
I would reckon there has been a thread on this every year since the gaaboard started -  Do you suggest only the 4 counties in the final(s) are allocated tickets to be dished out as they see fit (tickets on presentation of league and championship ticket stubs etc.) in the first instance and then any returns are distributed to the rest of the counties?

So why go then, aristo?? You deprived someone from either county a ticket.

Good man Benny ! I hadn't thought of that - my day did have purpose after all!!

A more serious answer is that I was a club officer so automatically got a ticket. After a year's voluntary service why would I give a ticket away to Armagh or Tyrone.

Have a day return ticket Newry/Belfast on Rooney's bus.

Would swap for football final ticket ( but has to be lower hogan 330 - 332)

No timewasters please.

Ger Cavlan is forking out £50K to have a little homage to Cannonball incorporated into the back of the collar I heard.
