    I'm far from clueless. I'm well aware of the squabbles with Roscommon Gaels. My cousin works for one of the businesses that were recently hit up for another 1000 euro contribution to Club Rossie, for all the good its done them.

    We must have very different definitions as to what constitutes a great advertizement. A great ad usually generates positive feedback about something. It doesn't lead to people questioning its very existence, at the expense of other things, as well as general eye rolling and taking the piss, whenever it comes up. :rolleyes:

    He has you down to a tee there ProudDub :)
    Tbh I never stay over anywhere Killarney a couple of times is about it.
    We're not big pub people anyway, I always get grub locally before the games though.
    Unless it's in Cork.
    I can say that now since TTM is hiding.

    The bus is a great advertisement for the GAA in the county.

    no work could have been done on the pitch as no funds could be drawn down due to the ownership issues on the whole ground


    Nah, not clueless at all, great advert parked up near Paul Byron shoes.

    Same issues with Hyde as McHale Park had.


    How is the pitch now, can you see the top of the cross bar yet :)

    I miss TTM too. (Although, I'll deny it if he ever comes back.) We can't ever have enough condescending, lecturing, posters, who think they know it all. You know, more Cork people. :p

    Mate of mine moved down there for work for a few months and I asked him about the new position was he worried etc and he said 'nah it'll be grand if I don't know something I can ask anyone there, as they all know everything'.

    Really, you're giving out a bus being sometimes parked up?

    I often see it driving schools on tours, clubs to Croke park.

    And the problem wasn't with Roscommon Gaels. They were very eager to get the thing sorted.

    That's pretty funny, considering that the original version of my post on the previous page, was this.
    They will in their holes. They are all singing from the same hymn sheet. The Hyde was fine. The Hyde is fine. The Hyde will always be fine, until the end of eternity, or until Mayo win the All Ireland. Which ever happens first. :rolleyes:

    That's the last time I edit one of my posts, in a flurry of Mahatma Gandhi-esque good will. :P

    No given out at all, just find it funny as most do.

    They'd want to get a lot more eager, losing money hand over fist at this rate with games not been played in it. Already 3 games lost that I have seen and possibly another now next Sunday. But that is the GAA, more politics than sense.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,569 ✭✭✭✭ProudDUB


    Martin Carney just said (on Matt Cooper) that the game has been switched to Croker. No one is believing him, coz its April 1st. It must be said. ;)

    Any word on when the team will be named? Will it be tonight as usual, or will they wait until they find out what town/county/province/galaxy/star system the game will be played in, before they decide on the line up. I'd say a fast, zippy young speedster like Cormac Costelloe would struggle on a slow, boggy pitch like the Hyde.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,240 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    The ironic thing about this Hyde park flooding thing - Shane "Cake" Curran is an expert in flood defence systems. Maybe the Rossies should give their former stalwart a call? :)

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,569 ✭✭✭✭ProudDUB


    Oh, Shane Curran is small potatoes now Stoner. This has been elevated to a much more important level of cosmic significance. This is more like General Eisenhower, frantically scanning the long range forecasts of June 2-5 1944, to find out if the D-Day landings on the Normandy Beaches could go ahead, due to cloud cover. We're at that level of magnitude now. I blame the bus ! :D

    No sign of a team, so I suppose it will be out tomorrow.

    Hurlers have been named though....the poor, unfortunate, forgotten bastids ! :o

    I feel they will have their work cut out against a limerick team with the piarsaigh lads back. Although it depends on which Dublin team turns up, on our day we can beat anyone

    You mean in Parnell we can beat anyone!

    Really poor loss this evening. Fair play to Limerick they took some brilliant scores, especially in the second half, but we left it behind us a bit.

    I can't understand how Cunningham did nothing to curb the influence of the Limerick sweeper (number 7). Time and again we'd play it short only for our defenders to drop it right on top of him. WTF is the point in that? I actually believe (i'm in a small minority i think) the short puck outs can yield dividends but if the opposition adapts you have to change it.

    Another consequence of that was McMorrow, Treacy and McGrath did nothing to stop the Limerick backs coming out with it because they were outnumbered. A number of simple overlaps produced loads of their scores.

    Referee not sending off the Limerick man for striking was a scandalous decision. Had Rushe rolled around on the ground and accepted medical attention he would have produced a red. Shocking stuff.

    Anybody at the Leinster under 21 football championship final able to furnish a report on same?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,952 ✭✭✭✭Stoner

    Was on the train to Roscommon and word got out that the match has been transfered after a pitch inspection to Carrick,An absolute f**king joke.
    Ah sure nothing like a road trip on a rainy Sunday morning.

    Disgraceful treatment of fans. Decision should have been made on yesterday before fans left for the match on trains and cars this morning.
    O
    They're not the brightest in Roscommon GAA are they. Absolute gob****es.

    In fairness the GAA HQ said during the week that the match was definitely going ahead,Ah sure me and the lads will have great laughs about it in years to come.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,032 ✭✭✭mjp


    Apparently it was known in Roscommon since Friday that match would be in carrick on Shannon but that wasn't made public till this morning as large amount of dubs travelled to Roscommon last night and would have cancelled otherwise.

    Friend talking to one of dubs players at 10 clock lastnight who told him match was changed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,703 ✭✭✭donkey balls


    Met a neighbour in the hotel whotel told me that the locals said that no way was the game going ahead.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,775 ✭✭✭✭Slattsy


    Buses being organised by Roscommon GAA to collect people from hotels and train station.
