What the fk are they at on 2pts into Hill? Do they not read the Irish News?

There was a stat on the rafio earlier that there are 2.5 times as many 2 pointers into the Davin end as the Hill.

There have been more cases of measles in the US in 2026, than in 2000-2025 in total.

If teams keep moving their captain to a position other than 13, then nobody will even win with a no 13 captain.

The celebs thing is awful. They've been doing that every  semi and final this last couple  of years.  They're trying too hard to play  it up  for the Brits , even niblock is sickening in  that regard. Just do it as you would for an Irish audience.  If  a few Brits happen to like it, great. If not, f**k em

This!! Its pandering to a Brit audience whilst forgetting about your core viewers.

If yis want BBC covering Gaelic Games, it's a small price to pay.

Yeah you're probably right. Having Niall Quinn, Neil Delamare, and Vittorio Angelone probably really added to the occasion for the British audience.

If the hurling doesn't sell itself , I hardly think a  couple of  comedians at HT for 30 seconds  will keep them watching.

They could have  women mud  wrestling at HT in the rugby , but  you still wouldn't get  me watching it

I expect that the BBC know as much about their audience as people posting on GAABoard.

Fair enough. You could well be right that they've worked out the viewing audience at home wants Neil Delamare and Vittorio Angelone so I hold my hands up there. 

Never underestimate public taste in England.

BBC NI have to persuade someone in London that this should be carried over the water, which probably means that it does not come out of their sports budget. A "take it or leave it" attitude will not do that.

Sarah Mulkeen would be a help though, and someone used to presenting to English audiences.

P.J. rumours abounding......

From the outside looking in it would be best for Galway. Would never doubt his standing in Galway football but he has employed the slow laborious football with this side.  I spoke to one of the Armagh players after the AI final win and he said they couldn't believe how slow Galway were in their build up play and gave us plenty of time to get our defensive shape.

Even under the new rules they were too slow and played too much possession football.  Galway have some serious forwards and a more direct approach would have to pay dividends for them.

They lost that game by 1 point, they obviously could just as easily won it. Their style of play, whatever we may think of it, was very close to getting the job done.

If close won you something, then Mayo would have several Sams in the 21st century.

[But Deco from the Dominick Street flats who steals cars and deals drugs for years can stay? Can we not just f**k him into the sea or something?]

Anyone who didn't think immigration is causing problems will be thinking again.
And of course it's not all immigrants and not all races of immigrants.

No idea if it even was immigrants tbh but if so, should have all rights to be here revoked (if guilty)

Any immigrant who commits a crime (maybe be more specific?) should have all their rights taken away? Human rights? Civil rights? What about if they're an Irish citizen?

If they are an Irish citizen, they shouldn't be regarded as an immigrant.

If they are not an Irish citizen and they commit crimes in Ireland. They should be sent back to whatever country they came from.

Why not? Very easy to be both.

So commit any crime and pack them off home? Steal a loaf of bread to feed a starving family etc and it's "sorry, that's it. Off you go"

+1

Do a deal with Somalia authorities, if they take back their citizens then we will fund a jail in Somalia at Irish prices and send Deco there.

Always likely to be the case. Yet you had multiple lecturers, professors, deans student advisors etc whatnot spending a great deal of time on this, doing their best, and being castigated.I suspect this person had also taken a high court case and presumably untruths were told there too. Judges do not like that. 

Diesel after taking a couple of big jumps in the last week or 2, time the roads were blocked again at this rate!

How'd did that work the last time?

Blocking roads will not stop Iran blowing up ships that will continue to see prices rise..

They should go and block roads in Washington or Tehran.

Who said those were immigrants or foreigners?

Ireland has fallen.
WHERE ARE ALL THE IRISH MEN?

In churches, stabbing women, according to that report.

Galway are favourites with the Bookies but Kerry did beat Galway by a bit to spare in the All-Ireland final two years ago.

August 2nd in Croke Park

Junior Final at 11.45am
Antrim v Carlow

Intermediate Final at 1.45pm
Fermanagh v Roscommon

Senior Final at 4.15pm
Galway v Kerry

Shocking that yet again Fermanagh is at a grade above Antrim.
Perhaps Galway will win the final, based on better defence.

Disappointed in Armagh; Galway no 5 is a top player

Armagh didn't get going at all. Kerry to win the AI for all genders.

She was awful. No insight into questions to ask or direction to take the conversation. Kept glancing at her notes. Where was Sarah Mulkairns for the BBC?

Perhaps she is in the US at the World Cup?
