Also, technically the Carrickdale is in Dromintee parish and traditionally players from that area play club football in Armagh rather than in Louth even though its 200 yards into the south... just another problem the boundary commission never envisaged in 1922!

Quote from: Norm-Peterson on July 14, 2024, 06:02:25 PMA Donegal fan said on BBC that she would be supporting Galway. Well that is no surprise from them supporting a southern team. A good reminder why you shouldn't support an ROI county.

I couldn't care less who they support in the final, I don't expect we'll have much support from Tyrone or Down fans in the final either and that's what you would expect.


100%. I had Loais and Kerry supporters  on either side of me yesterday and the Loais supporter was a lot more boisterous in his support for 'the kingdom'. He left at HT,  unfortunately 😔

Wouldn't expect anything less. Jimmy isn't winning matches anymore this year.

McManus is a fine footballer too. Monaghan are by far the best team Armagh have played in this league, You could see the confidence of winning Ulster last year has brought to the team.

Mayo v Dublin 1985 semi final. Kevin mcstay ( I think) pointed a 45 or free to level  for a draw.
I went with my da, (he is originally from Mayo). I was 9 years old.  We were seated in the hogan stand lower around the 45 closest to the hill.
Ive rarely gone to a game with so much excitement and tension since.

A group calling themselves South Armagh Republican Action Force claimed this in retaliation for the murder of 6 Catholics the previous night,the HET say that the Provos were involved,there is talk the British Army may have been involved.The sooner there is a Truth commission that SF have been calling for to try and resolve all these issues the better.

Nairac himself was even implicated as possibly being there on UTV tonight. The plot thickens.

Dunno why Brolly is having a go at Cavanagh for. He should be saving his vitriol for the referee instead for bottling it and not sending Cavanagh off. It was a blatant red card, Cavanagh did what he had to do, It should have been dealt with there and then.

Terrible decision for those who are emigrated and wished to see the games. Hopefully some sort of deal can be brokered between the Co board and D Newry.

Absolutely delighted for Donegal. Great county and great people. I'll be rooting for them in the final regardless of who they play.

I can usually just about listen to Sidey but today I had to turn it over to TV3 and a worse picture. Cringeworthy stuff in the extreme. His patter about Wyatt Earp and the OK coral was without doubt the worst piece of commentary I have ever heard.  Brutal and made my hangover manifest itself  into a fit of angst. Terrible commentator.

 I have nothing but admiration for Donegal after witnessing the hammering they took in Crossmaglen two short years ago. The turnaround which they have achieved under Jim McGuinness is nothing short of miraculous.
