Replying To brayballer: "Ah Joe get real.Sure a gesture is a gesture but they trying to take a stance against allianz but its like attacking a bear with a feather. Many ways to show a gesture towards persecuted people without giving free advertising to the group they have a problem with.A nice gesture would be if the few players involved publicly state they will not use Allianz insurance again.As Barney stated,this is pure grandstanding. Its like beeping the car horn in support to the shopworkers on strike outside their shop and then passing the picket to buy something." According to today's Irish Times, Ger Brennan has said he will not conduct interviews etc if there are allianz banners etc in the background, if this Irish Times report is correct you say this is grandstanding so you are saying Brennan is an insincere, self- promoting attention seeker. I don't agree, I believe Brennan has the individual right to refuse to stand by the logo and I accept his sincerety in making the decision.

It most certainly is his right and I'd applaud him for taking a stand. I would have good time for him and believe he's a person of very good integrity.

Will Donegal give Dublin a 5 point start in "solidarity"?
Run the football team already ...

I never mentioned anything about Brennan but as you bring it up do you know that Dublin GAA management get sponsored cars from Peugeot and Peugeot have strong links to Israel.

Strong looking team." It is. Championship team won't looks hugely different. A win down there - not beaten them since 1927 in league i saw! - be huge start and potentially path to winning the division.

That's actually an amazing stat Barney considering you reached 9 AI finals since then, and Clare weren't strong between then and the 90s, save for the late 70s/early 80s.
