Re: the Ga I was on the same flight as the London senior hurling team once. What a glamourous life I lead.
Re: the Ga thinking about the new york thing........they might have a point.....its getting harder to gain entry into the states now with all the 911 shit this weekend tomorrow we have Galway against sligo have seen galway twice....typical .....hot and cold all the time.......but joyce might be back tomorrow......but i think sligo might give them a close game.......they always have a fast team and they wont lie down for the tribesmen maybe go for sligo with an 8 point start ! sunday......derry against tyrone......lookin forward to this one.........armagh looked good last week......cruising.........even if they did their usual cheating and diving...... tyrone will have to show their team on sunday.........so i cant wait to see tyrone without canavan.....and Derry are always tough meath against wexford.......now wexford have improved......but i love meath teams....they never give up and with geraty back they should win offaly and kildare........another game that im looking forward too........this fixture is always entertaining cause they have different styles.......cant see how kildare can lose this one......kildare have a decent forward line london and mayo.........the bookies are giving london a 16 point start.........maybe.....but they lost over half of last years team that gave roscommin a good game.......still and in the hurling its cork against clare...........should be a good game.....i have a soft spot for clare........ thats it all.....i think!
Re: the Ga It's definately a valid reason for the players concerned to not want to travel to Belfast - you have to wonder at the New York board though. Unless they were planning on never winning a match ever, the situation was going to arise at some point.
Re: the Ga god apart from london-mayo i didnt win any money today derry easily beat tyrone.....terrible stuff to watch.....what is it with the northern teams......bloody cheating left right and centre......falling on the ground all the time we dont do that shit in leinster.....no wonder they are still occupied!!!!! kildare -- offaly.........god i cant imagine how nad kildare must be to lose to offaly.......oh the embarressment and what the ******** were meath doing today!! credit to forde with wexford galway played in fits against sligo......meehan was great......but sligo will be a handful for any team in the qualifiers and cork beat clare.......usual stuff in the hurling......good crowd at that game
Re: the Ga this week donegal - down the bookies have down as favourites......but they are a bad team...maybe donegal could beat them longford - dublin well dublin should win but the game is in longford.......so 10,000 dubs have to live their holes and travel to culchie land.and believe me their are very few dives as bad as longford!!!! and if they end up in granard...god help them!!! laois - carlow laois no problem hurling tipperary - waterford ( think) anyway the hurling is too predictable only decent bets......maybe longford with an 8 point start but thats only even money# back donegal but not a good week for the betting tipp!
Re: the Ga I'll be in Ireland from like June 28 to July5 around those dates. Will there be any football or hurling matches on? And any at Croke Park?
Re: the Ga There are always Sunday matches at Croke Park (in-season that is). Alternating weeks feature doubleheaders of football and then hurling. Make time to check out the museum there as well. It's absolutely outstanding.
Re: the Ga So is football in season during end of june/early july? I love the football and hurling is cool too, but I love the football. I went to the GAA.ie site, but it's very confusing and the fixtures are almost all in Gaelic and I can't read it
Re: the Ga yeah the website is rubbish they dont even give the fixtures for the championships clearly......and its all in irish.....hell even i cant understand it with my limited cupla focail this weeks games.....albie it witht he world cup......do i/we care!!!! today westmeath- killkenny in the hurling......walk in the park for the cats DJ resigned this week....again good hurler but as a person a bit of a wanker....im sorry but i cant trust a man who doesnt smoke,gamble, or drink! sunday cork-limerick kerry - someone! cork and kerry to win armagh - fermanagh armagh to win either way now that the beautiful game is on the box......i sure as hell aint going watch bogball
Re: the Ga Wow what a great game on Saturday. The Wee county almost pulled it off. Who would have thunk it.
Re: the Ga That Mayo-Dublin game was the best I've seen in years. Fair play to Mayo for sticking with it when the going got tough. Cork-Cats on Sunday. I always find it hard pulling for Kilkenny but I have to in this one. Dont want to see Cork getting the 3 in a row.
Re: the Ga Yeah, happy for once to see Kilkenny win, they did a lot of bunching, harrying and hassling. Not pretty hurling but it got the job done.
Re: the Ga what do you guys think of a young lad by the name of martin clarke? apparently he was a gaelic star in ireland and an australian afl team called collingwood signed him to play for them. i think he is 18 years old, anyone heard of him?
Re: the Ga I don't know how much you lot are into the gaa, but has anyone been following the preliminary cups going on in the provinces? Any reaction to Mick O'Dwyer winning games with Wicklow?
