Replying To Overtheblackspot89:  "What is going on with clubbers fixtures this week, no disrespect but who wants to watch Monaghan harps v Dohamlet and we won't talk about the senior games on this weekend shocking to say the least"
I'm sorry,

But this comment smells of complete arrogance and a complete disregard of all club levels in the county.

Had we any trouble going to clones or croke park in the kast 10 years and watching lad like Colin Walshe and Neil Mc Adam putting on the county jersey.

If we are that interested in going to watch the senior game/games go to the venue itself and watch them.

GAA is about promoting the game at all levels and there more clubs in the county than the 10 senior clubs.

The teams in Intermediate and junior deserve as much respect.

And co nsidering Intermediate is the most wide open competition of the 3 levels this season, it's probably the most exciting to follow this year.

Replying To tommyc:  "I think it's a two horse race in Roscommon. Brigid's or Pearses. Leitrim seem to have four or five contenders. Might try another Leitrim game this evening as nothing in Roscommon this weekend . I have some Aughawillan linkage so might go to see them. Bmore v St Mary's is probably the more interesting game but it is deep into enemy territory for me. I have heard reports of what happened in Bmore v Mohill game last week."
Brigids,Pearses are two teams that has won Connacht titles so are natural favourites. Is other contenders in Roscommon however probably wouldn't have that strength in depth of those two teams or go on to beat the best in Mayo,Galway.

It's lower the standard championship in Leitrim without any stand out teams. It's 1997 since a Leitrim club has reached a senior club Connacht final.

Replying To Kew:  "Same as any star player makes a sport organisation millions that's why they get the big bucks. TV money, streaming buys, media coverage, social media impressions, game attendance etc it all builds up over a career"
In Gaelic games people go to support a team, not an individual player and certainly not an opposition player.

What are you talking about? Gaelic football was every bit as popular last year, before Kobe had kicked a ball in senior football. The new rules are what have made it far more interesting. By your logic, we should pay the FRC the big bucks.
The GAA isn't a for profit private sporting body. The vast majority of money made is distributed back to clubs and counties, infrastructure etc.

Replying To moros:  "Yeah but the standard is way off. Any wins in the Connacht club championship in the last few years? Love to all."
Yes agreed, one team winning all the time like St Brigids is very boring.

Replying To farneygael3:  "Nobody said they are a bad team? It's just there 4th/5 team?"
If people actually believe that's Scotstown's 4th team they need to give the head a wobble.
