An raibh duine ar bith ag amharc ar Seo Spoirt anocht? Bhain cara domsa (Albert Fry) an comortas an tseachtain seo chuaigh thart de reir Gemma ach nior chuir siad sceal chuige. Cade mar a dtig leis an duais (gaoth dobhair spake) a claimail? A thairaint chuige fein ('acha'n ait eile spake).
In case someone else knows. A friend of mine (Albert Fry) won the competetion on Seo Spoirt on TG4 and hasn't recieved any confirmation only that Gemma read it out on the show. How can he claim his prize??

Roinnt seachtain ó shin bhuaigh mise cúpla ticéid do Cluiche Ceannas na Sraithe.
Tháinig siad sa Phoist ar an Deardaoin roimh an cluiche.
( So just wait for the postman's knock)

Isnt it wonderful the way these Shamrock Beggars have the cheek to complain about anyone considering that they havent stirred a finger or raised a € to go towards the Free gift they await from Donohoe and the Council Manager.
If they had raised 25% of the cost of building a Stadium on the free site they were given they would be playing there since at least 2002.
What a pathetic shower of useless yokes. >:(

Five Minutes of Council/Minister/SR and TD/DCB sitting round a table would lead to the above.

No it wouldn't, because it's not possible.

Which is why Thomas Davis won't show anyone their "plans".


It would make more sense than a Senior Manager of the Council writing childish letters to the local Paper FFS.




he was reacting to lies from TD about the councils position in the paper, as is his right.

Why is it not possible for a group of people/organisations who all say they want to see a Stadium built
to sit around a table to sort out an agreeable outcome?

Senior Managers of a public body should be above writing to papers trying to childishly score points.
If Shamrock beggars had done what ALL other sports clubs do- raise 25% of the cost- the Stadium would have been built by 2003.Wonder why the County Manager's Deputy didnt mention that. Or if the County Manager had asked the Minister to respect the Councillor's original vote the Stadium could be up and running around now.

Then we have the 2 Soccer clowns  saying that if the GAA had less Gaelic games in their own HQ the pitch wouldnt be damaged.
Jesus wept

Meaningless waffle won't lead to a proper, fully-finished logical stadium (including a full-sized GAA pitch).

Five Minutes of Council/Minister/SR and TD/DCB sitting round a table would lead to the above.
It would make more sense than a Senior Manager of the Council writing childish letters to the local Paper FFS.

Structured tiers for intercounty championships work grand for hurling and ladies football is introducing them this year. What's the problem for it in mens football?

Agree with Fionn on that comment. Also all Counties have 3 grades of Club Championships -Senior/Inter/Junior.
Realistically there should be 3 tiers/levels or whatever you want to call it of All Ireland Championship - Top 12 or 16,next 8/12 and the rest. The system could be organised on Groups of 4 with gaps between games to allow players time for club games. With a restricted NFL it would be possible to fit in the Provincials which could be used as qualifers for the various tiers.
The Tier 2 and 3 Finals could be a double header in Croke Park with no other Senior Fixtures that day and have all the hype etc.
As for Club fixtures -at present County teams play an average about 13 competitive games a year but the players are training about 100?150? times and Managers are dictating to Co Boards when they can play their Club Championships.This usually means whenever the County team is out of the Championship which means that important club games are being played at all sorts of ridiculous times e.g Tuesday nights in October or with a Semi Final and Final within a few days etc.
More sensible training regimes are needed for County players not the present get as much "expenses" for the Manager systems of quantity sessions.We had the NFL games before Christmas done away with because players needed rest and what happened ? Training began in early October (Or August with the Commandant Maughan) so players get no rest -except from playing games- which shopuld be the whole point in the first place - not bloody non stop training.
If it were non stop practising skills like catching/kicking/tackling etc it might have some merit but all it's doing is turning out running/handpassing/athletes who cant kick a ball to save their lives.
Anyway that's enough of a rant for today

QuoteA number of clubs in the area have had PP delayed

So let me get this straight - a number of GAA clubs in Dublin have had their planning permissions delayed because of Thomas Davis  ??

This is just complete bolloux and you know it. Back up you point with details or else just shut up.

Lucan Sarsfields for one.

Caught out again Searrachfella --- check press releases on the South Dublin Council's website - no special hold ups -just normal

Why dont Derry City contact South Dublin County Council - they'll build them a nice free Stadium.

topic. If they need to get into the ground and have the money to pay for it why have'nt they come out and said so and why do you support an organization that can pay for this but won't. I can understand why they would want the govt. to pay for it but I can't understand  you or anyone not directly involved in SR supporting a situation where they have the ability to contribute significantly but don't and the country has to fit the bill.

How about they use the €1.5m the Council paid them to stop squatting on the Council's land >:(

Missed the first half because of traffic in Navan and a serious delay in Virginia.
The option of turning back should have been exercised

I actually turned back after queuing for over 30 mins to get through Virginia!! It was after 3 at that stage and I reckoned that the 30km to go to Cavan added to a likely long walk would mean that I would miss a lot of the 1st half. I would have turned back earlier only my daughter was with me and didnt want to give up on it.
Give me a trip to Croker anytime ahead of that crap. In future I will thoroughly research the best way to go to Provincial venues - the most direct route probably wont always be best.

And to think people slag the oul' Dubs about making a hames of their occasional trip away from Croke Park.
Ye Meath lads musnt travel to games very often :P

. If you are a visitor to Belfast or Derry, why would you want to buy a souvenir of Dublin?
Presumably because most visitors want something of the Country's Capital City. ;)

Is this b*****x still spoutin' shite?
Just to annoy ye GAA lads even further- the South Dublin Council has had to pay the Professionals involved in the original Searrach Rovers attempt at building a Stadium - Quantity Surveyors/Engineers/Architects etc around 250k recently - most of it "arrears"inherited from the people they had to give €1.5m to get their land back even though the ***** hadnt paid any rent on it. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
You just couldnt make it up.
