Colm Parkinson/The GAA Hour

[Lar Naparka]

I remember when this debate was being had back in 2018, it came out that Dublin has less Games Promotion officers per capita than the rest of Leinster

And that Roscommon were receiving around three times more development funding per capita than Dublin

This doesn't suit the narrative

Didn't spot this until now.
Mind quoting your sources?

Last year the Dublin County Board  earned €1.46m in commercial/  sponsorship deals as against Roscommon's £168,053. Croke Park also allocated Dublin €1.2m for coaching/development; Roscommon received £168,053.The GAA's lopsided financial model is the elephant in the room #GAA

They are. The games development money is spent on games development officers. Dublin have 90, rest of Leinster 89. They work in the schools but also clubs

Fair enough, sid. I'll take a closer look at those references tomorrow but you, at least of all  the Dubs in general, is prepared to quote sources to back up your arguments.

I see online buff egans going up against wooly for comments he made about the conditioning of Mikey Boyle, should organise a celebrity boxing match

Any more on this??

[FermGael]

Poor stuff there on twitter from Stephen Poacher.
He should be above rubbish like that

And Wooly's response to Poacher:

Wow. If you're sending me that personal stuff Imagine what you said the the Laois players while running on to the field. Which you deny if course. Scum

Poacher showing his true colours there. That's pathetic.

Edit: I see poacher has now deleted his post.

[galwayman]

What did Poacher say? He seems to have deleted his tweet.

Said something along the lines of everyone has off days and to have a good Christmas then put a picture up of a newspaper article from 2004 when Parkinson was guilty of assault.

Is it really that bad?

Parkinson is a loudmouth, I don't see too much harm in him getting some back particularly if he was found guilty!

[marty34]

Is Poacher using the distraction tactic after Down's poor show in minors?

Parkinson started it by saying "1-04... in the entire game. Minors. I'm looking forward to Poacher telling us how great a coach he is in his next column"

Then Poacher reacted saying everyone has the odd bad day and linked the article. Now deleted.

[rodney trotter]

Both are controversial types. Poacher seemed to be always in rows when he was coach with Carlow.
Not that Parkinson is much better. Off the ball crew seemed happy when he left the show
