Replying To jm25: "I'm well aware good lad, not ignorant at all she had him in England for fear of family shame. but your requirements say need Irish parents plural??
So is it one parent only and no need to ever live in Ireland to be Irish it is now
You are tying yourself in knots.
You have moved goalposts twice now on what Irish is" Nobody moving goalposts… McGrath has an Irish mother and that makes him perfectly qualified to be called Irish hence was qualified to do so … Only someone loosing the argument would suggest that both parents should be Irish… I certainly didn't.. but the rugby mercenaries who are wearing Irish jerseys are not one ounce Irish…. Probably the reason nobody cares too much when they play if they win or not…

Replying To updwell: "Trump is not right on Ukraine Ukraine is an independent country invaded by Russia because Putin wants to rebuild the Soviet empire. Trump apparently sees this as an opportunity to divide up Ukraine between himself and Putin. There is a significant Protestant population in Donegal, Monaghan and Cavan- would the British be right to retake those counties. Putin has something on Trump and is using this leverage to get what he wants through 'negotiations' since he can't win the war there. Trump calls Zelensky a dictator while blatantly ignoring Putins position and his willingness to expel or kill his political opposition.
I understand your right wing and happy with totalarism and anti immigration but ask yourself how many more Ukrainians Putin will force out of Ukraine and into Europe and you'll be on here giving out about them coming into Ireland." To reverse your logic we would have same right to expel all settler descended unionists as Ukrainians to expel Russians.
Both are there as consequence of illegal occupation, land grabs and expulsion and murder of natives.

Replying To yew_tree: "It's a defining game for our league. Get something out of the game and who knows we may just stay up. Lose and we are practically gone in my opinion." Not sure how defining. Mayo have decent record against Kerry in the league and they have looked less than great themselves so far this year. Donegal more than likely into the final by the time they play Mayo and will rested players for that match.

Replying To 222: "Think Saturday will be a very tricky game. Cork can't afford to loose another game as they still have to play roscommon. Good test for this monaghan team. Expect a gael force win, so it could be a game of two halfs." More than tricky, it could be extremely tough. Cork have the size and running power to cause Monaghan major problems. Always have. They are a strange outfit in many ways, they could bury a decent team one week and lose to a poor team the next. You just never know. They also have no fear or respect for Monaghan, and why would they?
Discipline on the new rules critical for Monaghan, can't be giving 4 or 5 cheap points away. Monaghan have to get scores on the board early and have the Cork lads thinking about the bus home well before the end. If its tight late on I think they will have the legs on Monaghan.q

Replying To Shelbourne1: "We need some of our top players back. Disaster that game brought forward to Sat. Booked ticket & can't go now. All our home games should be in Clones." What has playing in Clones got to do with the expected bad weather.

St Mary's Rosslare/Liam Griffin Motion At Congress - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Claretandblue: "The Gaa provides an inordinate amount of funding back to clubs, coaching etc. 82c in every Euro. No idea why LG proposal even being considered at Congress. totally impractical, volunteers difficult to get at moment in every area, where will these thousands of hurling coaches materialise from? His issue is that in Wexford dual clubs giving time to football, in Westmeath all separate clubs." It certainly is in Leitrim for sure... we're already struggling to get football teams out on the pitch, volunteers, coaches, finance and so on. The reality is that funds would have to come from Croke Park to implement any of this and I can't see any of the bigger counties subsiding this.

Including you, you must've spent more time posting about their fortunes, issues and set up than all of the rest of us posters put together.

Replying To Cockney_Cat: ""Kilkenny don't field a football team" Kilkenny do field a football team." O they would do anything for football HA! HA! Hah! I lived in Kilkenny for 14 years. Bigwood was one of the football strongholds. Two players went to practice one night and there was no ball. They never went back. The hurlers got dined in Langtons hotel. The footballers got sandwiches from a pub and that was not always assured. This was at the time when the GAA president was from Kilkenny and spouted about supporting football because no money would be given if not. Their strength in hurling is helped with ignoring football. Okay so be it but let's stop with the semantics.

Replying To Greengrass: "There's a huge difference between promoting hurling and ramming it down people's throats. This motion should be rejected for the good of hurling." Promoting hurling? Trying just to encourage clubs in counties like yours to give young people the opportunity to play hurling has worked out really well over the last 150 years now hasn't it? The status quo been really good for hurling in your county.

Sinn Féin not going to Washington over Gaza but were happy enough to go there when Biden was backing the Israeli blanket bombing. Explain that one?
Might have something to do with the piles of money and other assistance they got from the Clintons and Feeney and others when they agreed to do what no Irish nationalist never mind a republican claiming to be in line of Pearse and Sands would have even contemplated - running part of Ireland for Britain.

Following how they are doing one thing but caring whether they win or not is another… The simple point is it doesn't get too many upset or down whenever they loose….

Hearing from reliable source that board will assess at end of league iffno improvement in results and that contingencies in place if need arises before the start of the McDonagh, but pressure on due to the way appointment was made and one club delegate in particular is looking for review.
