Not sure what game some people were at today with the previous comments. But i dont care what club costello is from - he got cleaned end off.  there were people sitting beside me and every time the ball went near him and his marker - there were nervous echoes around the place.  the lad is out of his depth - but is not on his own.  Arthur Mc Conville on our county team - i have seen it all.  i have seen very ordinary club players boss him about in club games and there he is in full forward for Down seniors today.  Had a couple of frees to settle him into the game and fluffed them.  Aidan Brannigan running about the place throwing in late challenges and acting the hard man with galvin - im sure Galvin was thinking to himself who is this prat.  So Galvin just done what he does best - got possession and linked play.  Someone said garvey had decent game - what the ****? Declan O'Sullivan gave a masterclass today in gaining possession - holding possession - linking play and indeed scoring - all four things mentioned are what you expect from your forwards - so what did Garvey do that was so good i ask?  Midfield - is Kalum King the stupidest person in down - he watched one of the defenders getting booked for third man tackle - so what does he do twice in the next two mins - third man tackles.  He was lucky he wasn booked th first time.  Big dan was good - impressive on a good player and kicked few scores which were good efforts.
As regards the naming of the team - a complete disgrace and the supporters should act with their hands in the pockets at the next home game and buy no programmes.  this is not on and calling out a wrong players name going into the fray is a joke too.  the line seem to question everything by the referee and the linesman - i read recently that Kerry were being accused of being yaps - they need to look at down.  But all is not lost - 4 games left and i feel it will come down to the derby with Armagh.  That is d day for both teams i feel.

I dare you to share your true identity

If GAAboard had a like button i would like this.

Interesting piece from Joe Brolly on the media's pursuit of professionalism.

Not his greatest fan but spot on here i think.

Oasis at the Limelight in Belfast in September 1994. The night that they went to Number 1 with Definitely Maybe :) Everyone says that they were there that night.

Slane 2003 with RHCP, Foo Fighters, QOTSA, PJ Harvey and Feeder.


Same here. Great concert.

Always wished i had been at slane the year they showed the ireland match when they qualified for the world cup. 2001??

wasnt surprised at this announcement but from my point of view the only people an inquiry serves are the lawyers who make a packet out of it.
how many barristers and solicitors became wealthy on the back of the suffering of the bloody sunday families.

we have to move on
l cant see how inquiries help anyone, every side in the war carried out atrocities ,

I would doubt that your attitude would be the same if it was a memeber of your family.

And maybe they should try a public inquiry without lawyers. see how that one works out.

as steve collins said "this is boxing not tennis".  seemed like a poor decision by the doctor.

Khan sounds like a hateful arrogant character.

Great days entertainment, 2 cracking games. message to county board - do away with the band.

plenty of goals in the IFC, fair play to tullylish they played annaclone off the field in the second half. Thought Seamus ohare and gareth johnston were excellent for tullylish and davy corbett had some impact when he came on, 2 goals i think.

senior game was a great game, some good football played. draw would probably been a fair result. bryansford could have stolen it at the end.
