Congrats to Brendan on a fantastic career. He was pivotal in our last big win in a championship final (2000 Leinster u21 v KK in Portlaoise). Himself and Aidan Hanrahan were huge that day and I’m sure he thought the good times would roll on with a Leinster Minor and Senior runners up in the bag that...

Have to agree with you DAF. I watched it online on BBC TV commentary who were gushing praise on some of the basics of hurling skill. Pat Horgan nearly fell over himself when striking for the last Irish goal, mistiming the lob off the hurl. Any Junior b keeper with a goalies bas would expect a half h...

There’ll be a right run on advance holiday bookings for July 2013 from the good GAA folk of Offaly in Bernie Travel Tullamore …

Fantastic article by our own Paul Rouse in todays Irish Times dealing the Quinns campaign of public protest and its effect on the reputation of the GAA. Nail on the head job. DISHONEST QUINN AGENDA WELL WIDE OF GAA ETHOS MARK DUNCAN and PAUL ROUSE Wed, Aug 01, 2012 OPINION: Seán Quinn has made clear...

I should add that Sean Quinns daughters should never have been placed in a position where they would have their weekly expenditure needs put on record in the High Court like the cost of a new baby , medical expenses, groceries in Tesco and Spar, petrol and caring for dogs etc. Who of us would wish t...

POTH you’re entirely right in what you say. However there is a real risk that if persons of a high profile within the GAA people continue to publically backing Quinn (if not overtly backing, conveying a level of sympathy in their comments that man on the street would reasonably deduce as being condo...

“The Quinn family are great employers in the North West” Quinn Insurance has proven to be a loss making enterprise for arguably its entire trading history. Instead of its income from annual policy premiums being applied to the minimum capital threshold required by all insurance companies to cover a ...

Apologies to Johnny Leahy for that misread-I take it all back. That’s what you get for mixing UFDC with work.

Shane Lowry may have bagged a British Open by 2018 and we'll trumpet how he comes from a famous Offaly GAA family.

Great to hear contributions from lads who’ve been there etc. Shocking really considering its players from recent enough times and not back in the 80’s. None of us who weren’t in those dressing rooms really suspected any different. I’d be particularly dismayed if what jimbob17 reports about the prese...

The issue raise by Pot Noodle really deserves its own thread. There’s a massive issue here regarding amateurism and personal liberties v.s the standards set by peers in other counties, especially the successful ones. It’s as much a cultural thing and it’s a generational thing. You don’t have to be w...

To me Egan did connect with it.

It took a weird almost Wim Keift in Euro 88-style spinning bounce around the Nash.

Was thinking the exact same thing when I read that

Did anyone apart from the camogie team actually travel to Cork for the game? If I was there I’d be crowing about it! The game being live on Newstalk, swayed it for this particular half-ass merchant. It’s no solace to think that the difference on the day appeared to have been a bit of composure in fr...

That’s get-the-Thermos-and-lunch-box-ready-stuff from POTH. Would really want to make you get in the car on Saturday morning and make a beeline to PUC. If what Timber says is true reagarding some of player’s plans, you’re looking at a cricket score. The lack of intensity shown by our forwards in def...
