GAA Football

Marc Canham, are you watching ? Add him to the list.

Delighted with the result yesterday had full belief that jim and the boys would win yesterday this donegal team is a lot better than they were been portrayed by 99% of the media in the lead up to the game. Derry only beat that side after extra time 2 years ago and only players missing from the donegal side were Murphy and mcgee and the rest of the fellas have 2 more years in them in terms of s&c and county experience 

It's mad now when you see results of a game that you've not been able to watch, see the upset which gets you excited for a moment and then realise it doesn't really matter that much (am not doing Donegal down here, I just don't like the system now).

Tickets for donegal vs tyrone been allocated through the clubs only any remaining tickets available going on ticketmaster Thursday. See a few not happy it's been played in Derry but must say it's the first smart decision I've seen from ulster gaa in a while less distance to travel and 14000 in celtic park will make for a cracking atmosphere compared to maybe a little higher attendance in a half empty clones

I thought Celtic park held more?

They were a law unto themselves and targeted Catholics of standing like Sean Brown so as to strike the fear of God into the Catholic community. The sh*te that we had to put up with was unreal and yet all you would think is that it was only the RA who killed people.

If anything Louth are an example that you can grow your teams with just the funding you are getting. The funding argument is an easy go to for the counties that are under performing but it not the only thing that needs improving imo (picture below is 2023 funding)

And it’s interesting to see a lot of Leinster teams higher in that list than more successful counties (including successful counties with the small ball). Dublin dominance doesn’t explain why they are so poor at the moment.
