It would be easier to make a list of people who aren't in the frame for the Rhubarb hot seat 

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.

Down has already won. All the free staters who sold out their fellow irishmen and women and who cant live with the shame of it are all just clutching at straws.

Snoopdog you are in the midst off traitors who hate everything from the north Irish. There is more supporters of Manchester United and Tony Blair in the south than Down.

Why am I starting to veer towards wantin Cork to win I wonder 
And we still have 2 more weeks of this shite  to go .

Spotted this while nosing around.
Hope they enjoy the trip and their day in Croke Park.

Glasgow Select International Shinty/Hurling Tour
Shinty players from Meadowburn Primary School (PS), Bishopbriggs (comprimising Gaelic speakers) and St Joseph's PS, Milngavie, supported by Meadowburn Shinty Club and Milngavie and Bearsden Shinty Club are travelling to Northern Ireland to play in a combined rules Shinty/Hurling International match on Saturday 4th September.

Their opponents are a Northern Irish Select hurling team made up of children from Edenbrooke PS and Glenwood PS from the Shankhill Road and St Paul's PS and St Kevin's PS from the Falls Road in Belfast.

The match is part of the Falls-Shankhill Project aimed at encouraging cross community participation in Gaelic sports and challenging sectarianism.

This is a return match with Scotland winning 6 – 3 in Glasgow when the Northern Irish visited in June.

The players and coaches have also been invited to attend the All Ireland Hurling final at Croke Park, Dublin as guests of the GAA.

[to make the Croppies lie down.]

It was nearly gone out of existence till  the Unionist Govt and their RUC/B Specials/Orange mobs showed their Nationalist neighbours what they thought of their demands for civil rights/fair play.
So Myles me boy it was things that happned in the 6 Cos that gave rise to the "new" Provo IRA.
Methinks there's a bit of spud in your family tree too 

Indeed. Republicans used the civil strife that occurred at that time as the platform from which to relaunch their campaign against the British, but this wasn't anything new. It had exactly the same rationale as the border campaigns of the 40's and 50's. The violence in the north provided republicans with the opportunity, not the motive.

"Civil strife" is a nice neutral word for the reactionary violence of the Orange mobs/B Specials and RUC who tried to make the Croppies lie down.When Nationalist people saw that the peaceful protest method wasnt working and was met with disgraceful violence it ddnt take much to convince them that the only thing the establishment could understand was what the Provos had to offer .

What's it like living in the 19th century?

There was me thinking 1968/69/70 were in the 20th Century.

Anyway Myles your fellow travellers( Unionists) are mainly living in the 17th Century .

tens of thousands of Irishmen joined the British

To this country's eternal shame as they robbed, murdered, terrorised millions of poor people in their own countries across the world.

I thank the Lord that no ancestor of mine in the last 170 years anyway ( we have no records before that but am confident none betrayed their Country to fight for it's oppressors army) betrayed their Country by joining the murderous scumbags who killed,looted and terrorised this Country for hundreds of years.

I would say your ancestors more than 170 years ago were much the same as now. Pulling spuds out of the ground with their teeth and riding sheep.

By the sound of you your ancesters were obviously ridin the spuds

I dont think the Rhubarb Co Board can choose a manager till this thread hits 100 pages 

Poor Ros.  No newspaper.

Ros has the excellent 151 years old Roscommon  Herald from Boyle and the excellent free paper Roscommon People . The latter is part of the reason for the downfall of the Champion as some contributors left the Champion and the South Rosfolk got a better paper for free than the one they had to pay €2 for.

All rght for French "irregulars" to kill Germans or people supporting German rule in France but not all right for Irish "irregulars" to kill Brits or people supporting British government in Ireland.

I must have stayed at home from school the day they were explaining that one.

It's people like McGeeney that makes you proud to be a GAA man.

Legend is the word.

For once I have to totally agree with one of ye bucks Barney.
You're spot on there.
