[bloody mary]

Who have they got this year on the panel?

[Lecale2]

Any word on the panel?

Hopefully there will still be 2 Ulster Counties in the football championship come 4th Sept. It adds to the atmosphere of a great night out.

[Uladh]

A lot of those names are getting very slale at this stage

[ONeill]

Agreed.

[In the Onion Bag]

This is an impressive panel line up and getting N Brennan is a real coup.

Would be interested to know which panel members Uladh and O'Neil consider as stale?

Don't want to speak for the boys but as I was thinking the same myself, I would say Breheny, Heaney and Duignan. Tierney is good for a laugh at times but doesn't have the wit of Brolly to carry an evening off on his own. Brennan may be an Uachtarán but he has zero charisma and a stuffy boring oul bollix. As for Carr... zzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

[ONeill]

Heaney's an ass, in my opinion. His comments at the recent gathering regarding Sean Kelly et al were disgraceful and compromised his position as a journalist v J Gormley's mate. Benny Tierney's just there as Jester. Breheny can offer nothing more than what he has over this last few years. The likes of Graham Geraghty was a coup last year. I'd like to see more of those types of names - the been there and done it brigade instead of the journos we read every day. Peter Canavan, Joe Kernan, Dessie Farrell etc - names that you know will create a bit of interest.

Barney Eastwood FFS.

[Yes I Would]

Alot of these guys are played out. Jesus we get enough of them six days a week in the Irish News.

[Lecale2]

Barney Eastwood FFS.

[Hardy]

In a bizarre reversal of the expected, Mr. Eastwood said "thank you very much" to me at the Meath-Tyrone game last year.

barney eastwood isn't on it this year, is he? he was there before cos he sponsored it. And he won an all ireland minor medal. someone said joe kernan, do me a favour, tell me the last time he said anything interesting in a public arena, ie, on tv or in the papers. if he were to say things as they really are, then great, but he won't ever spill the beans. dessie farrell - dustin the turkey with the monotonous voice, have you ever heard him on telly or at a gpa 'do'. you must be joking. I think Brennan is a good call cos when do the public ever get the chance to ask the president directly about whatever - DRA, hurling's future, the australian link, etc. And fair play to him for coming to a Down Div 3 club's chat night. As for ross carr, yes he picks his words but he is one of the most genuine gaels there is, his blood is red and black, he speaks a lot of sense and not just nonsense for the sake of it. so sorry but i disagree with the last few posts. I understand some of the points and it seems that there are some grievances with some of the panel but it looks impressive to me.

Lads I must say it is a bit petty criticising a line-up for a fundraiser. Whether you like the names or not, this is a club trying to raise a few bob and there is not many doing similar. Not as if it an official GAA event.

You miss the point - It's not a lecture - the likes of Farrell would generate some deadly debate on the panel and in the audience. Kernan, I know, can be rather controversial when he's in the mood. Brennan knows the media are there and will tow the line.

[SouthArmaghBandit]

It would still be an opportunity to have a go at Brennan all the same. I think his term as president has been awful.
