Not Myers' biggest fan by any means but as posted already he is always imo anyway very complimentary of the GAA in Ireland and I think alot of people will be surprised.

Yeah, but in Myers' eyes will be a disease in nordie GAA, heavily influenced by Sinn Fein / IRA.

What to you see.

He wouldn't be far wrong. There's a dangerous, poisonous element in the gaa in the north. They are reactionary and unpredictable and operate within strict military rules. They threaten the 'peeple of ayrland' with their wicked ways. Let the Donnybrook dogs of war off the leash I say...

Why is there a poster of Jim McGuiness?

A lot wrong with Football but lets no get personal.

Miriam will be getting stuck into the Jee-Aye-Aye on Thursday.
Payments to managers and the rising number of violent clipboard related incidents are up for discussion.

Both happen.

Another chestnut that will be uttered I suspect is  "It is a results business".

Can we bet the Genie back in the box?
It's a hunger business. Results are a function of the hunger for the ball.

Following the collapse of the tiger and the trials and tribulations of the catholic church there are not so many Irish institutions left standing. The GAA is one of the few that could stand on its own compared to any international equivalent. Sure there is the bit of fighting and some noise over paying of various people but the GAA as an organisation has far more integrity than FIFA, the International Cricket Board and the crowd that run cycling, to name just 3.   

As Harry Bohan said about Clare a few years ago it is hard to imagine the county without the hurling team. It is very hard to imagine Ireland without the GAA.

Brill, another d4 tosspot in rte asking questions about something they no nothing about. I suppose tubridy should join in and then brush shields could be drafted in to translate the bogger gaa to the masses.

Yea, they always go for the lazy stereotypes in D4.

Do you have a source for this info? Presumably you're winding up about the panellists.

Good fun all the same, although we should have seen through it as both Myers and Harris have both been blackballed by RTE for ages.

Yeah, good man - got me too, though that's not hard.

Anyway, I heard them touting the programme this morning on the radio and it seems it's going to be about payments to managers only.
