Berlin, excellent city. Was there last summer for the soccer world cup and bump into staunton in an Irish bar. Should have ensured he stayed there! the musuem at Checkpoint Charlie is well worth a visit, makes you think about what the easterners were forced to do to escape to the west. Great Irish bar near the zoo station, cant remember the name but its in the shopping centre close by. beware of the *ookers though, place full of them. So much history in one city is unreal so get the tour bus that drops you to the main sights - just like dublin. Enjoy the beer but behave, them guards are big lads.

Is this not a gaelic site? Stop comparing our game to soccer and all the wrongs that are in built there. If you pay £100 on a sunday to take the family and go and watch your county you have every right to critise what you have just watched. Spillane may be hard to listen to but he is right in saying that the exection of the basic skills in the modern game is woeful. Its Ok the rte lads having a go as they played the game and understand what its about. If its another poor championship the gaa need to sit down and look at the rules - 13 a side is the only way to open up the game again and make it the spectacle it once was (eg) when Brolly starred in 93. My prediction is for a poor season giving the pundits loads of opportunities to slate the game.
