Surely pointing out the correct spelling to a poster is helping them ???z

About as helpful as telling them it's a forum for 'intelligent posters who can spell'. 

too

It's a GAA forum, not a place for correcting people's spelling.

It's a GAA forum alright but only for intelligent posters who can spell

Wow, you stay classy.

Spend a day in a literacy class with adults trying to better themselves and you won't be so quick to make jokes.  Nothing worse than a grammar Nazi belittling folk online.

Really? Nothing worse? That's not so bad then.

It's a figure of speech.  But hey, it's obviously seen as ok here to slag people off if their spelling isn't up to scratch or insinuate they're not intelligent enough to post here. Each to their own.

How does the season ticket work in regards to All Ireland final tickets? I thought you got into first Championship game with a season ticket and then that was it

First round of Championship is the only Championship game that's covered in the original cost of the Season Ticket but you've a ticket for every game and get all other championship games at a discount of €5 (except finals) then once you have over 60% attendance over the year since the start of the league you're guaranteed a ticket for the final if your county qualifies.

Has any Season Ticket holders received there All-Ireland ticket allocation?  It seems like ages waiting for those to come!

Heard we should be getting them tomorrow / Thursday.

That is top class Yerraing from Quirke. He points out all the reasons why the ref rode them, just to plant them in your mind, and then says it's all bullshit. But they are still there now, in your mind, remember them?

Donaghy was at the same last year - listing all the reasons they weren't going to give out about the ref.

They really are the worst losers.

Is that why the scum on the Hill boo Donaghy .

He was booed on Sunday because Philly offered his hand for a pre-match shake and he pushed it away. Who's scum now?

Those who booed ;  not the GAA way .

And is refusing to shake a competitors hand the 'GAA way'??

Guess you should ask said refusenik why ?? Might well be a reason .

Don't care what 'reason' he might have.  Keegan and Connolly both made a point of making a bee-line for each other in the replay last year and shook each others hands, gave each other a hug too.  That's the 'GAA way'.  It's a game.  What happened on the pitch during past games stays in the past and the slate is wiped clear, they (Keegan and Connolly) both showed that.  Just a pity Donaghy couldn't show the same graciousness and sportsmanship.  Bet that made the win all that bit sweeter for McMahon too.

Donaghy got been booed in the past ever before any handshakes .  There is a certain herd mentality in the support that needs a bad guy to boo .  A bit pathetic frankly .

As is refusing to shake your markers hand....

80 is very reasonable in  fairness. Id love an opportunity to part with 80 for one.

What will touts be asking for them on match day morning? It would go against everything i stand for but ive never been as desperate . I just cant get one.

There's 2 Hogan Premium on Ebay for €1,110 (seat only, no meal package) and 2 Premium for the Hurling for €1,100 (seat only no meal package) at the moment.  Premium tickets cost €150.  Criminal they're allowed away with that.

Garrymore GAA club holding a raffle for two stand tickets for All Ireland Final. Tickets available through the following link. Good value for a €5. Shane Nally & Caolan Crowe are club members on the panel.

In 2011 I entered a number of these online raffles with various GAA clubs as i was desperate for a ticket, the winners were always someone 'randomly picked'  from the club.  I'm sure they welcome the money spent by outsiders but can't see them being too willing in parting with these tickets and giving them to an outssider.

Did someone say Gough is a teacher who lives and works in Dublin but he represents Meath at intercounty level?

You have to wonder does that impact on a ref to any extent when he knows if he makes a bad call against Dublin then he will be hearing about it the next day at work or from his neighbours whereas if it had of been a Ulster ref he wouldn't have cared about any such bad calls.

I just think the Crowley one was so obviously a foul and if it had of happened near the start of the game it would have been given and maybe a yellow card. If he had of given it and it was a draw would so many of you be saying the ref did quite well?

On top of that Gough is on the Dublin team's payroll, regularly coming in to referee A v B games at €80 a pop. It also gives the Dublin team extra info on what he blows for and what he lets go.

They get in multiple referees, as do other counties, its whats been done for years so please try and find another excuse!

Yeah but he's been hired by Dublin over a dozen times and has yet to be hired by Kerry, so he clearly knows what side of his bread is buttered and was hardly going to do anything last Sunday to jeopardise this nice little earner. If you think there's nothing wrong with a ref refereeing a game between a county he's getting regular payments from and a county he's getting nothing from you must work for the Olympic council.

That would be a failing by Kerry id imagine, Are you scruff Parkinson in disguise. The result of the match was 1. Kerry couldn't close out the game and 2. The Dubs finished the strongest. But to make it fair we will get a Kerry Ref the next match.

Bottom line, the Dubs are the better team and Kerry were lucky to be so close with two flukey goals.

Enjoy the final.

Dear Mayo,

Please Win.

kind regards,

Awh really? And we thought everyone loved us

And you know that how exactly??

Heard from a Kerry fella who was at the match and he reckons the programs were being thrown at Bernard Dunne who was celebrating in front of the Kerry crowd and Gough just happened to be passing. No idea how true that is though.

While I don't think Gough was intentionally biased, they should be able to have a ref from a neutral province to completely remove any question of bias.

Not even close to true.  I was in the front row of 706, right at the halfway line looking down on what was happening.  There was one older kerry man standing right above the tunnel throwing stuff down at Gough.  He was pointed out to the Gardai and Security as soon as it happened.  There were also numerous other Kerry fans firing stuff directly at Gough as he walked off.  Bernard wasn't even close to him.
