How can handball be a GAA sport with prize money on offer?

waste of time, money and energy. only a concert would fill it unless there's a bumper hurling final, which'll probbly be in thurles anyway.

i never understood why there still exists an aspiration to build stadia capable of holding more than 20k beyond an acknowledged provincial stadium. what is wrong with a 20k capacity for games which may attract up to 25k people? full grounds are far better on championship day. i'd rather armagh played derry (for example) in a packed healy park rather than a half full clones

i have had a fair amount of dealings with logie and while he says all the right things, he is only interested in his own profile and his own career.

Televised Sports coverage in the north is still operating under the same criteria that the housing executive applied in the 50s. I'm surely Logie is acutely aware of the not so subtle black balling process which the closed shop that is the utv & bbc NI hierarchy. just ask JQ, who is a genuine GAA man.

what could be true? it didn't make any accusations!

just a string of distorted facts childishly phrased to suggest conspiracy

That youtube is possibly the worst collection of hamfisted editing, juvenile questions and distorted facts i've ever seen in an attempt to endorse a conspiracy theory!

why do you need software for that?

this isn't making any sense.

i'd say they'd be getting it tough to get decent guests at this stage. sure who in their right mind would go on?

by the way, two weeks into the new panel series and they've produced of their two worst shows.

the scouser is ok occasionally but not every week.
the biffo is a poor host.
bring back dara.
have the jackeen on every week.

Wouldnt be familiar with the software but from what I saw last night it can be put to good use if you know what you are doing. What I was talking about was the quality of the football solutions that were produced to improve performance as shown on the video. The most convincing part was that it worked for them against Donegal

for example...

What can the software show you that you cannot see by simply watching the video?
