She could meet her soul-mate and one true love in the wilds of Shannonbridge!
Then the 'bridge will become like Lisdoonvarna. Hordes of well heeled young ladies will be swarming the place when they hear of the red-blooded, hunter gatherer men that are to be had there. Back on the Southside, the collared up Fionns and Oisins will be left crying into their Heinos as all the young fillies hook up with untamed west Offaly men!

Celebrity Bainisteoir is a heap of sh*t. The GAA should not be lowering themselves by having teams participate in celebrity RTE crap.

Couldn't disagree more. It gives great exposure to the GAA at club level and gives a nice view on the whole community thing that the GAA is about. The lads can knock a bit of craic out of it, gives the team some good challenge matches, the "bainisteoir" is only there for 2 or 3 trainings so it doesn't affect their preperations and aside from all that it's a great boost to the clubs coffers if they win.Daingean Exile wrote:Celebrity Bainisteoir is a heap of sh*t.

There are large sections of Irish society who wouldn't fully grasp the work that goes on at community level with the GAA. Many people's only acquaintance with the association will be through the various bad news stories that hit the headlines (look at the front of all today's papers).
In previous series some of the bainisteoirs have expressed pleasant surprise when they actually saw how a club functions at grassroots and the positive impact it has on everyday life. Most of them seem to have been unaware of it.
I think this is our own fault. Not everyone is born into a GAA background and has a genetic affinity to a particular club. A lot of what takes place within the GAA is pitched on the assumption that people are. The over-emphasis on a sort of mythical gaeldom, a rural, green and perhaps bygone Irishness can leave many people unmoved. There may be an unintentional closed-shop mentality when it comes to actually wooing people who aren't steeped in GAA tradition.
I think Celebrity Bainisteoir has been good because it has given a section of Irish society a peep behind the curtains at the workings of community based clubs. It is meant to be a bit of fun and I don't see any harm in it.

I think when you see how much interest it generates in a community, it's hard to be against it. I'd wonder myself how much input the actual "celebrities" have, but when you look at the quality of the mentors, plus the fact that I'm sure the club would get a few interesting training days paid for by RTE, then you'd be mad to turn it down.

Oceans 15 is dead right, Carey adores herself. She has appeared on the Mooney radio show as a guest over the last couple of years and no matter what subject is debated the conversation always comes around to miss Carey prattling on about herself, an irritating wagon.

Lads, Nuala's a good girl - let's have some love for her here

On a positive note Shannonbridge will have the heads up on weather forecasts before the big game. She could commence the team talk by running through some Atlantic weather charts and advising the free taker on wind and air pressure conditions.
