.Sligo were well up for it and outnumbered the Down support by about 4 or 5 to 1.

A crowd of 8,000 I believe so about 1,500 Down followers.
Ought to be plenty of spare tickets around Sunday so.

We're only trying to get ye to the 100 pages so ye're Co Board can pick the Maughtan/Carr nightmare team 

Hopefully he'll take his anti football style back with him.
Good to see the Elphiners make it to the Final but will it be a step too far?
Great display by Fintan C. I believe

 Crowd given as 21,000 on TG4. They were said to be expecting 30,000.
The Galway boycott was  the reason it didnt happen.
Now if the game had been i bPáirc na nGael tomorrow at 3 or 3.30 there would have been at least 30,000 if not 35,000 at it.
So well done GAA officialdom on losing €150-180 k due to ye're dirty little arrangement with Thurles.
Surely to God the arrangement could have been Thurles for 3 years but not any year Tipp are in the final.

What's the average age of these "boys" ?

[messing]

Also I don't like the way they say there'll be a draw for non competing counties with 100% attendance but will give out no details about when it will take place or how many tickets are availabe.

With the messing with scanners and the like, how many will have a 100% record, even if they did attend every game?

Breffni Park NFL game 2009 I asked a "maor" where the season ticket style was.
Firs he'd heard of such a thing and when I explained it all to him he told me
" Jasus ye're fierce smart bucks in Roscommon altogether" 
Difficult to have confidence in the system after that 

The poverty stricken indebted Government of ours will sooner or later be bailed out by the EU due to our memebership of the €.

Who do you think has been buying our bonds?

I did say SOONER or later .....

The poverty stricken indebted Government of ours will sooner or later be bailed out by the EU due to our memebership of the €.
We will then have to do whatever they tell us re taxes,spending,obeying EU Central Bank requirements etc.
What a terrible pity we wouldnt be as energetic in trying to develop our own resources  and try and make an economy ( like Dutch/Belgians/Danes etc as we are at going around trying to bribe every multinational in the world( U.S really) to set up an office here to run their profits through on paper and the panicing any time the EU mentions Corporation Tax.
As the old stereotype goes ...if the Dutch had Ireland they'd feed the world while if we had Holland we'd all have drowned years ago.

Can any of the Rossies (I'm fairly sure this is the first thread most of ye check ) give us an idea of what people think of Kearney in Castlerea and beyond??

He's doing a damn good job at Castlerea seems to bring out the best in players for a club team he has them well drilled & organised something that Mayo badly need, he certainly would be worth a try but a huge step up for him

Mind you he's done it by having them play a lot of anti football 
Hopefully the men from the Orchard will put an end to them on unday .....but with Brianeen gone to Oz I don't expect they will.
As for the Rhubarbs manager hunt ...... it certainly uts our boloxology in 2005 in the hapenny place 
An old comrades act of Maughtan and Carr is the obvious solution 

Geography lesson ...
There are 2 big Islands off the West or North West of Europe .
One is called Britain or Great Britain. The other one is called Ireland.

Only 48 pages to be filled before the announcement is made .....

Are ye having a closed Season over there boys?
No word from ye since mid August.

with increasing dissident support.

Ehhhh?

The GAA has been ran by a fcukin Munster mafia since time immemorial.
Most GAA politicians need Tipp/Cork and Limerick to back them so they pander to everything or anything that would make them happy.
Absolutely disgraceful decision as so regularly happens when it comes to making fixtures and no thought whatsoever for Galway hurling supporters once again.

Taithníonn sé go mór liom go bhfuil an tráchtaireacht ar na Cluichí Ceannais Mionúir i nGaeilge.
Ach cén fáth nach mbíonn Tráchtaire Connachtach agus Ultach gach tríú bliain?
Ceapann a lán daoine gur Gaeilge na Mumhan an t-aon saghas Gaeilge atá sa tír mar sin an las a cloiseann siad an t-am go léir ar RTE.

Aontaím leat Rossfan, má tá Gaeilge Chonnachta uait, éist le Seán Bán Breathnach ar Raidio na Gaeltachta. Ba mhaith liom tuiscint Gaeilge Ultach chomh maith, ach ní dóigh liom go mbeidh mé ábalta.

Plaidhc ceart Gaillimheach nach bhfuil focal maith a rá faoi Ros aige.
An bhfuil éinne as do chontae a bhfuil Gaeilge ó dúchas aige/aici a mbeach in ann tráctaracht a dhéanamh?
Tá Gaeilge Mhaigh Eo an cosúl leis an saghas Gaeilge a mhúinter dúinne sa mbunscoil.
