Shorts Vs Skorts - 3 Like(s)
Replying To boxtyburgerbuns: "Two motions to introduce shorts in camogie were defeated well in last year's camogie congress. That is all that matters. And if they are unhappy at these democratic votes then perhaps a change to another sport is needed I feel." If their game is brought to the ultimate conclusion this week end and democracy is replaced with defiance that is not in anyone's best interest.
It straight away brings to mind the famous line from the Lidl ad they had entitled "Level the playing field" saying, "Its not over 'till we say its over' democracy again kicked into touch.

Replying To Tirchonaill1: "Well at least 'skorts' got their own thread!! that other major world issue of the day.
I often wonder what tourists think of us if they ever bother to watch RTE news when they are here." A tourist that watches rte news willingly needs to be examined for brain trauma. The rest of us are forced to pay for that junk

Replying To KillingFields: "No it doesnt
Most of time out of play isnt true" "During the 2023 men's Rugby World Cup, the average ball-in-play time per game was 34 minutes and 18 seconds"
From the website statista.
At least 46 mins out of play, the facts speak for themselves

Replying To KillingFields: "You clearly are trolling or havent an iota on the sport." Explain it to us then? Rugby fans are very fast to tell everyone how they don't know anything about it yet will never explain what they mean.

Brilliant to see what's being achieved at underage by Louth, which should only further the momentum being built by the seniors. Really looking forward to the Leinster final on the weekend. It should be an epic occasion.
I'd be absolutely delighted to see Louth bring home the title.

Replying To GreenandRed: "How many League of Ireland games were played compared to the games played by the 4 provincial teams?" The biggest stadium in soccer is Shamrock Rovers one with a capacity of what, 10k maybe? Comparable to Connacht's rugby ground
All the rest are half that size in the LOI
You can see that there was nearly 20,000 empty seats for a european semi final in Dublin last weekend, that is pathetic.

Replying To boxtyburgerbuns: "Lads rolling around the field, people clapping when a ball is kicked aimlessly high into the air or out of play. It is just really silly, but sometimes watchable for the chance there might be a dust up in it." You'll be more than happy sticking to club football in Leitrim so! As you said before it's all that matters to you.
Do you have a television to watch the matches or do you listen to them on the wireless?

Replying To BarneyGrant: "No, not there yet. Might never be, but I prefer the whole thing to be in hands of ourselves rather than the constant running around after some big name. No harm to any of them, but we have a situation now where Donoghue will have huge inside knowledge of Dublin when they play Galway in what could well be a crucial. Certainly will be for one or other.
That's ridiculous especially in the way he suddenly decamped! Footballers and DCB would never in a million years allow such a situation to come about," Agree with you and at the moment Dubs might be slightly better than Galway.Im certain MoD does nt want to lose to Dublin above all teams.

Replying To jm25: "I feel like I'm a dying breed that just love sport.
Listening to pat spillane we are two of a kind.
I might watch a bit of the IPL this afternoon, Rory & Lowry playing together in golf tonight, bits of europa league and darts.
Might catch some NRL at weekend morning and GAA Premier League across Saturday and Sunday.
I don't really like horse racing so don't watch it but wouldn't be then on a forum criticising Tony McCoy or be able to say he doesn't perform in big races as I don't have any knowledge on it" Yeah same, I'll watch GAA, soccer and rugby whenever I get the chance. Been watching a lot of NBA and AFL recently too. Watch the majors in golf and snooker here and there. Can't really get into Darts or NFL though. I've loads of mates into the horses too but I know effectively nothing about it.
While I do like the rugby as a sport and follow it and I can 100% appreciate the criticism it gets. There's so much bluster about it among the fans and media it would almost put you off. I try to just watch the games and block out all the linkedin nonsense

Replying To GreenandRed: "League of Ireland has less crowds than professional interprovincial teams rugby. Probably horse racing is our most popularly attended sport?" Over a million went to league of Ireland games last year. How many went to rugby games involving Irish provinces only? The South African teams skew the urc competition attendances and I'd bet the French teams skew the european rugby ones. There was nearly as many people at the league of Ireland opening game as Leinster's semi final they filled the togs in.

Replying To Ollie2: "What a win for the minors last night. Young Kelly scored some two pointers. History made last night for the first time ever the minors/under 20s and Seniors all reached Leinster finals in the same year. What a time to be Louth supporter." It's amazing alright. Should be great atmosphere this Sunday, An Lu Abu, well capable of winning this one. It's only MEAD..?

35 miles of border, from Ballyhoe Bridge to the Lady's FInger.
Along this line sits divided families, ancient rivalries and modern grievances.
Two tribes, fond of themselves but not each other,
An epic occasion awaits.

Attendances 2025 - 1 Like(s)
Replying To ForeverBlue2: "Cork have more of a football tradition and more all Irelands in football than Roscommon but maybe Roscommon is a hurling county in your eyes… Bottom line for the deluded is… Hurling is hugely entertaining, enjoyable and well attended while football doesn't tick any of those 3 boxes… It's simple really but maybe to hard for you and your like to grasp… but you will" I'm surprised 55000 people are heading to croke park on Sunday to watch a game that's not enjoyable as they wouldn't be going if it wasn't. We'll attended aswell I'd say 55000 for a provincial game is well attended. As for entertaining yes football hasn't been too entertaining for the last few years but with the new rules I think most would agree it's becoming a lot more entertaining.

Replying To bláthach: "It's not one bit skilful. Lads barging into each other and then fall into a heap on the ground. They then throw it back to some lad who will either repeat the thing and barge into another lad or he will kick it over the sideline or drive it up in the air and hope the other buck doesn't catch it. If they do kick it over the sideline they throw it in and a few lads have to lift up another buck to catch it. If that passes as skilful I give up." Oh so bitter. Teying to be edgy and cool.
Not one bit skillful is just plain wrong and shows you up as bitter misinformed and sad

Replying To Fionn: "Superb Ollie. What an achievement for the Wee County. Well done.
1 Leinster title in the bag.
Can Louth win another 1 or possibly even 2..??
I think ye will win the Minor now.
But I reckon Meath will have too much for the Louth senior team this Sunday.
Over 50,000 fans expected. Wonderful to see. Looking forward to it." Am not being biased but I tend to differ and will say a Louth win with a few to spare especially if Durnin turns it on, he is our stand out leader and Meath will have no answer in that department. Out from that am hoping it lives up to its expectations of being a classic contest can't bloody wait.

No, I was referring specifically to you and the persona you like to portray. I thought you'd figure that bit out.
Anyway, make sure you reply using the correct username!!! It's hard to keep up with you and bláthach.
