Replying To ORIELMAN85: "It won't stop him whinging. Still having withdrawal symptons from 1947. He has no interest in GAA or allowing players to do what they want to do, play games. Having to pay to watch Cavan play 3 All Ireland Championship games is a deep cut too. Was much happier when his County took their annual beating in first round in Ulster and the lads could use their months of training to light up Gaelic Park. Like many others in his county he is living in the distant past. Doesn't realise we can get to Killarney, Cork and Galway without spending days cycling there. Like all good sporting Championships throughout the world our competition builds up the interest and excitement as it goes along. Next thing he will be telling the Yanks to do away with the prelimaries and just go straight to the Super Bowl. Dispense with having to watch the Chiefs destroying the Panthers 55-3 in Week 3 in a half empty stadium in Carolina in September. Walter Mitty is alive and kicking." Brilliant! Sums it up perfectly.

Replying To letsgetgoing: "Give it a rest for a while endgame. You seem to be the first to "throw in the towel" every year and seem to get some pleasure in doing so." Any team that loses three matches should be out of the championship. That's my view whether it's my county or anyone else's. I'd love to have a good Roscommon team to follow. I don't at the moment and I'm realistic enough to acknowledge that rather than post the sort of nonsense that you regularly post. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2300 - 16/06/2024 12:19:51 2551816 Link
Replying To shaggykev: "Anyone got attendance from yesterday. Looked decent crowd at Derry game. Cork Tyrone didn't look too shabby either. Donegal fans like myself were holding back for next day out. The gaps between games really affects attendance. Cost of living pinching many on top of a convoluted system and lack of clarity for venues, dates and times. Like one thing overlooked is hurling groups are well known in advance so people can plan well in advance about which games to attend with friends and family." All good Points kev, with 3/4 games within a month, people who get paid monthly obviously can't attend games under the condensed structure, not all millionaires like Orielman. The lack of clarity too on fixtures in advance certainly doesn't help entice people especially where long journeys need planned. These reasons combined with the structure itself are reasons that people voting with their feet despite what others here will try sugar coat. Thankfully the brains in power have plans in place macca999 (Fermanagh) - Posts: 1142 - 16/06/2024 12:23:28 2551817 Link

I'd say American football is more your game alright… You seem to know a lot more about it that what's going on in the GAA that's for sure… Clare will come on lots too after yesterday's trashing in this ridiculous Championship nobody has any interest in…..

Replying To ForeverBlue2: "That's one way of looking at it… and you won't have to endure much more either I'd say" I know I won't have many more days following my own county but I've been to every game they played this year since January and I will be wherever they are next weekend. And I will sit down this afternoon and watch 4 of the country's best going toe to toe. And I will enjoy watching the remaining games in this championship.

Like most true Roscommon and Monaghan fans we will follow our counties through thick and thin and when our counties are not playing we attend or watch other GAA games for the love of the sport.

Games on Saturdays are generally not as well attended as games on Sundays. edu (Mayo) - Posts: 62 - 16/06/2024 14:15:26 2551849 Link
Replying To ForeverBlue2: "A huge 3900 at Roscommon v Cavan…" As I said already the expected crowd was 5k, a little under 4000 was no small part to your own support. Was smallest crowd I've seen Cavan bring to match against us, not even a 1000 from Cavan attended the match yesterday I would say, The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3911 - 16/06/2024 14:36:30 2551861 Link

16,300 at Cork V Offally. This was a double header so attendance inflated by a few thousand from Tyrone. dingle82 (Down) - Posts: 231 - 16/06/2024 22:17:31 2552065 Link

It would be helpful if people stuck to the attendance numbers rather than bickering. It's down to knockout games from here on so be interesting to see figures . 4 preliminary football quarter finals , 2 hurling quarter finals and Tailitean cup semi finals up next weekend.

Replying To ForeverBlue2: "Inflated by hurling supporters more like …" Don't understand' Cork hurlers regularly play in front of 30 - 40k in championship games whereas the footballers including Tyrone play in-front of 5-10k So yes inflated by football supporters dingle82 (Down) - Posts: 231 - 17/06/2024 10:25:33 2552219 Link
Thankfully the right man is in charge now who gets the meaning of championship and can stop the All Ireland Series dwindling deeper into the mud https://www.rte.ie/sport/football/2024/0617/1455104-burns-football-championship-change-likely-next-season/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR10CjsAXH7onkVrXoMCDUjzBB56uYcCl8Y2JTXc47mOoG61IL1oavEBRVc_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw macca999 (Fermanagh) - Posts: 1142 - 17/06/2024 10:25:50 2552220 Link
