Format of all-ireland is fantastic lads.
What pisses me off about people who moan about the provincial is that they're focusing on Dublin and Kerry. Ulster and Connacht are very competitive.
The 3 team qualifying needs to stay if there are 2 qualifiers per provincial championship which are unseeded. If its 2 qualifying from the group, then only the provincial winners are top seeds. Provincial final losers shouldn't qualify if its 2 out of the group.
There is 7 ulster teams in D1 and D2 next year, yet only 5 in Sam. Not fair.
There was only 2 good games boys in 6 weeks gaa
As a Crossmaglen Ranger born and bred and living in Springfield Missouri since 1993 I still love my GAA. Enjoy your pod every week. Tell Paddy I love GAAGO as I can watch the games on my back patio in glorious sunshine on a Sunday morning. A tad disappointed you all did nit give my native Armagh a bit more credit for beating Galway last weekend. Yes they were missing Comer but we were also missing Rian. We may not win the whole thing but we will give it a good rattle Ard mhaca abu
Will paddy ever give cork a break and give them credit for beating Mayo not putting it down to mayo’s scoreless spell in the end. Can’t be denied that cork have been very good other then Clare slip up. Up the rebels
Think the time has come to give that Dublin team that won 6 AI titles in a row their due credit …they had to put up with that Andrews boy 4 times a week for 10 years. Kudos. Respect
The constant framing of trying to remove provincial championships by OTB is becoming a bit too much IMO.
The format change is not working and the weekend was certainly not the best day of gaelic football.
The opinions of 2 All Ireland W
winners that provincial championships are good should be heard and considered.
Sport is cyclical so dublin dominace will not last, same with Kerry in Munster.
Dublin success is more reflective of Irelands economy (more urbanisation).than anything Dublin are doing.
What you are looking for (more competitive games) can be achieved by expanding league to more rounds and more teams like AIL rugby structure.
Championship should be knock out the whole way and mean something.
If you loose up to your provincial final you can join Taileteann Cup (which is working).
Tradition and heritage are important and I have spoken to many older players who have been lucky enough to of won provincial championships so be careful what you wish for as when it is gone it is gone.
Shane walsh??? One elite game in last 2 years for Galway, when he had his career day in the sun.. nothing before or since from him… Some pundits need to do much better in their analysis
The gaa top guys in gaa who determine. The season having guys play in the middle of winter. Games packed in and most of summer nothing it makes people depressed do something please
Re Gaa Go
Personally i actually like coverage i really like alot of the pundits and commentators + personally ther's alot of the Rte one's i'd be i sick of. and alot it has gone stale. I still just think Gaa Go could be alot better if it had some sort of channel which you could still pay toaccess the channel but you dont have to go casting to your Tv. Personally i'm pretty good with technology but i still think Gaa Go will always be just this separate thing where people aren't compleley familiar with while it doesn't have it's own channel. For example this weekend there's alot of good football games but most pubs and restaurants won't have them on as its not something you just flick on to.
2008 westmeath had a goal chance last kick game dessie dolan in 1 on 1 he put it wide, so how tyrone y day were 16/1 before the donegal game is a joke esp when the dubs and kerry are 2/1,, someone needs their head examined in the bookies cus Tyrone have it in the back pocket will take a good team pinch it from them
