    They are putting HMV in a fair few Xtravision stores so you might get some luck there. Was in Xtravision in Galway last week & the lack of boxsets was badly noticeable.

    After minutes of consideration I've come to the conclusion that hunting for All-Ireland Final tickets is the best example of the Irish culture.

    Of course. It's when everyone reaches out to everyone they know through everyone else.


    On another note, I see Flim 4 is now in HD. Excellent!

    Double post cuz Boards is a bit peeky the last few hours.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    Hurling and football. I wouldn't be able to get a ticket for myself for Sunday nevermind Dublin-Mayo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,263 ✭✭✭✭cena


    All the money the gaa makes through the season, more so the finals and they can.t pay any players that play at the highest level in ireland.

    This is my main reason for not buying any gaa gear.

    The GAA Pump ALOT of money they make during the year back into the sport, you have to remember the Premier League gets most of its money from MASSIVE Global tv rights, GAA does not have the same luxury and when you compare attendences for a GAA Season vs a football season you also cant compare.

    So it is very unfair to expect the GAA to pay their players. Go to a local GAA club game and see the low attendances, GAA make no money there but yet the GAA have provided that club a grant to build new club house, dressing rooms, coaching for kids, etc, etc.

    The lifeboat has set sail



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    And also how do you divide it up? Does somebody who wins an All-Ireland at underage deserve more than a player who gets knocked out in the 1st qualifier round at senior? Do club players receive any payment?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,469 ✭✭✭✭GTR63


    How do they decide how to divide the money to each county though. A lot was invested in Dublin hurling the last 10 years and the likes of the Kilkenny footballers must get damn all in terms of funding.

    My local club are trying to build a new pitch etc. They haven, t got anything from the gaa themself. All the coaching at underage is all done volunteer.


    high level I meant by county level. Playing for their county.

    With Up for the Match on the weekend there is a real window for opportunity to book an angle between Marty Morrisey & Ger Canning. I think a chain match where a chain is attached to the guard of helmets.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,402 ✭✭✭Tinie


    Everyone knows the big draw is Marty vs Brian Cody. With kilkenny not in the final this year, they should book Cody for the UFTM. They had their promos a few years back and the fans have been salivating at the mouth for them to collide face to face again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    Cody knows Marty would put him in the hospital if he's disrespected like that again.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,402 ✭✭✭Tinie

    A headbutt from him would be like a right hook from tyson in his prime.
