With work from home ive lost track of all the usual podcasts. what used to be a 2 hour commute is now 5 minutes. I need to make time for it somewhere!

Exact same as u with no commutes to Galway to work. I got an internet radio where I can stream the podcasts. Good to get back to them again.
Dunphy does a decent podcast on sports and politics.

Welcome back Peter, this must be a tough week for you so you said you'd come up with a new alias and set yourself up for when Mayo lose.

Its a clever ploy Peter, very clever, so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a fox

They're the navy and white DB sports ones: https://dbsportsgloves.com/collections/gloves/products/navy-and-white-db-sports-gloves

Spotted them on the sportsfile pics: https://www.sportsfile.com/id/1956146/ and https://www.sportsfile.com/id/1956138/

Interesting side note, DB gloves are a small company run by two Corofin senior footballers

Nice to see some bans being thrown around here for trolling

There's another Company called DE Sports that do gloves and gear, owned by a lad from Pullathomas. Do similar stuff. Worth a look, no harm to check out what the local offering is.

I'm surprised that none of these company's haven't released a "mikasa" style design given the popularity of all things retro.

Maybe they have and it never caught on. And a search shows that Mikasa are still selling their gloves!!!

Is there an article there in between the excessive analogies?

I may have gotten out of the wrong side of bed but that style of journalism just hurts my brain.

Can't remember who it was but some IC player wore them or replica ones towards the end of the championship last year. Can't remember who but remember going WTF in my head when I saw it.

Ahhh...Mikasa goalie gloves bring back fond memories.

A great glove in dry conditions.....almost like a mild sandpaper feel both inside and out.

Not so clever in wet conditions though it has to be said....they basically turned into sponges with fingers

My memory of them was wearing oversized pairs of them as a kid, and the glove was harder to hold onto than the ball in wet conditions.

Actually I told a lie. Shane Walsh wore them earlier in the year during the league.

The last time I wore them was in the wet, ball flew through while fielding in a schools match, dislocated my middle finger and I only realised it when the cloth of the glove got caught under the socket and pulled the dislocated top part down further.
The manager at the time popped the finger back, caught a vein while doing it and I had to get it dislocated again.
I blame the gloves.

Lads used to be eating the black spots off them and spitting them out

And it was the dose of the ****** they had from it. Where we trained as kids there was cows in the field, cows make large cow pats.... ball into cow pat... ball touches gloves, kids each gloves.
There was a girl who'd suck the finger off the gloves while standing around during training. No interest in the world in playing GAA.

Galway supporters will be disgusted with that tackle in the 70th minute in the hurling given the outrage last Sunday
They will be demanding rule changes surely

Pure useless. At least they are fighting. Its about the only thing recognisable from former Meath teams.

While Meath didn’t turn up I think we can put to bed any hope of a dessie bedding in period in 2020.

Really need Donegal to beat Dublin to give us a chance to lift Sam

With the exception of Tyrone in 2018 and to an extent the replay last year Dublin have never had it all their own way in All Ireland finals.

Kerry had them until the last kick of the game in the first game last year.
Mayo had plenty of chances to put them away in 2017.
A goal from a penalty from a goalkeeping mistake and a hit post was what won them one in 2016, not to mention the two OGs.
So for all the talk of money and all the talk as about Croke Park advantage etc, when it comes to the big day they have been beatable.

So I'm not going to start crowning them champions just yet just because they beat up on pathetic Leinster opposition again.

That being said it was Rochford coached teams that really took them to task in those finals.
I don't think Horan has the coaching or tactical acumen to really get Mayo into a position to beat Dublin, that's if they even get to the final of course.

That was Rochies fortie, the level of analysis he went into on the high level opposition was phenomenal. Horan in his first tenure only had one way of playing and I'm beginning to think it's the same with this one. Rochie had a horses for courses approach and adapted for the opposition. Horan doesn't seem to want to do this as I believe he considers it a weakness rather than a strength.
