Replying To Dunlavin4Miley: "Anyone hear of what came from the fight at the end of Pats and Glenealy two weeks ago? Hearing rumours that 9 players got bans and some of them for 3 years. Anyone hear different??" Suspensions have been handed out but no names or durations confirmed or published as yet.

Most GAA players now start at 5/6 in their clubs. Its something similar in OZ.
So Kobe is starting at least 10 years behind his team mates on the skills of the oval ball.
Thats a lot of hours to put in to catch up - and most Irish lads never do.
So they end up being half backs (winning breaks and "tagging" the oppositions best players. Becoming "water carriers" in an inferior game (IMO).
It is a shame for GAA that we lose some of our very best footballers when they chose to be average water carriers on a professional team - unlikely to gain any money outside the sport - as sponsors don't really pay up to be associated with average players.

Replying To BigBàsMan: "I agree with you there. They have to bridge that gap against ballygunner etc. they will have it all to do this year. I can see a few shocks along the way. Craughwell are building, clarinbridge are building but as the saying goes talent is not always enough. You need that bit of grit and doggedness. I would also say st Thomas' will have a bit say. I heard this year was the first year Thomas' had David burke for a league game. That's insane" They are not a patch on St Thomas`s and have a long way to go to even be in the same breath as them or Potumna in the 2005 - 2015.

Replying To yew_tree: "Got knocked out last year with a last second kick v Donegal. I wouldn't say Mayo came from "nowhere"
If it's nowhere than a lot of teams are nowhere! Like a lot of things it's very as bad as it seems or as good on the other end. Mayo will need to evolve again next year and I think management know that." Mayo were huge odds before a ball was kicked and then were hammered by Roscommon, nobody even the staunchest Mayo fans predicted what was too happen, sensational work by Andy Moran.
Got a bit of luck with the draw but who could say they didn't deserve it after all those years and certainly nothing lucky about the final, scoreline flatters Kerry.

Replying To Kew: "Seems English rugby league are targeting Irish summers as a new market. Leinster rugby will be hosting 2 rugby league games next year during GAA season. Interesting the are not going to Scotland or Wales they are targeting Ireland" Weekend in Dublin vs weekend in Swansea or Aberdeen....?!
