What way is that working this year? It used to be knockout, but I take it that they are doing group stages now. Who else are in their group? My old boys started on hopefully another good run today too. Gallen CS beat Blessington VS handy enough in the first round of the Leinster Vocational Schools. ...

A feared predator, and thus wholly appropriate. On the other hand being a landlocked county, odd enough to make sure people ask questions.

That and trying to find an eight foot inflatable wolf that looks threatening is harder than you'd think.

If I'm not mistaken that record could come under threat this year - I could be very wrong on this, but I think Cork are just one all star short of equalling us - one of the corner forward slots in hurling.

Depends where Deano gets selected then.

How now. We're doing what we can to get it going. Twill take a reasonable bit of enthusiasm from committed biffs all round, but sure from such small acorns ..... The general idea is that we'll burst into the national consciousness when the cameras focus in on the shark for the Westmeath match in Feb...

Granted we mightn't get many championship games in 2005, but I wouldn't see that as a reason to scale it down too much. I'm not sure if there's too much of a need for O'Connor and O'Moore Park so close, but given that it was worth going ahead with in the first place, I'd say go on ahead and do it ri...

I've heard a bit about him actually. Before my time, but I believe in the NY scene he was considered up there with the best of them, and that was a pretty high standard at the time.

Since he kept it going when we were going nowhere, I think we'll nominate Paddy alright ....

Each way would be okay in either of them. Like you say, the draws not made, so it could go against as well as with you. I do think that's lunacy having quarter finals as well. That leaves very little reward for winning your group as opposed to finishing third of five. If they just changed to the foo...

(For those of you who didn't know my altar ego on GAAboard is Ig, this should make it pretty obvious!!) I was thinking about the Offaly Championships in 2005, for betting purposes. Granted we have no draw yet, and no real clues on what sides will winter well, but I said I'd have a crack at doing up ...

Hard to disagree with most of what's said there. Interesting choice with Brendan Kelly all right. Might struggle to hold down a spot with the same gusto he might hold down, say, a burger, but worthy of debate. Lowry and Claffey I'd go with. Troy, Hanamy and Flaherty will certainly be there or therea...

Obviously this guy is a troublemaker of sorts. Clearly has to be watched.

Of the four home games, I'd say if they're going to be anywhere else, it can really only be Gracefield.

It has the train station for the visit of the Jacks and Mayo, Cork won't bring anyone anyway, and it's the farthest distance we can make Westmeath travel. All good really.

"Allowing other codes in, under any circumstances, means we are changing our rules to suit them, not to suit ourselves, and we will have set a precedence that it will be very hard to go back on. " If we get a decent economic rent in, then I would contend that it does suit ourselves. I'd be...

Haven't got the video I'm afraid. At least the cameramen knew where the action was at though - both in the terraces and on the pitch.

Hi Dr. Nick.....

The sheer wildness of Pat Delaney's afro couldn't go unmentioned.

Diggy Cordial's peroxide blonde thing could have been legendary, but he chickened out too soon.
