Jazus, they're letting all kinds of riff raff into the Hill these days.

Indeed - If only it was as easy to get a car loan

PP came in the post today. This years one is gold. Someone had the bright idea of putting the terms and conditions on the back. It now states:

- Spring Series 2017 - Parnell Pass MUST be exchanged for a match ticket to Croke Park. Ticket office open Tue-Fri 10am to 5pm. (Tuesday: open until 7pm for Championship fixtures.)

- We regret that the Parnell Pass cannot be exchanged for match tickets on match days in Croke Park.

- This Pass CANNOT be scanned at the turnstiles in Croke Park.

- God, they're some shower of gougers up on the Hill, aren't there?

Ok, one of those may be made up.

The boss shelled out €60 a couple of christmas' ago for the AIG polo shirt for me .. it kills her to see me head off to Croker in my Arnotts one each Summer .. I'm guessing it's 10 years old at this stage ..

You could wash it all the same, although you would probably not have the same amount of space about you

My daughter got me a navy AIG top for birthday. Of course I have to wear it, but the 1995 with the 6 on the back is returning for the Summer

I have a 95-er jersey with no advertisement on it, just the O'Neill's emblem. It's my prized possession. That along with my lucky flag, which has only been taken to winning All-I finals since it's debut - at the 95 final.


Read that Examiner article above. The usual recent Kerry "no actually, Dublin are brilliant, we didn't recognise it before. Cluxton is a super hero and nobody will ever crack him since we used to crack him and nearly cracked him in the All-I final last year coz we know how to play him. But really lads, Dublin are just savage, SAVAGE BOY!!
Because they are so athletic. And Cluxton's syshtem, his SYSHTEM it's bamBOOZLING BOY!! It's not real football at all but ye have to hand it to him."


"The Dublin GAA World just keeps on spinning"> I see, so 'The Dublin GAA World' equates to what players are available to our senior football team, and basically whether Cluxton can play. The Dublin GAA World will fall apart once our senior footballers aren't so good. Right so......

No. You just whinged so loudly, they could hear you in Donnycarney.

Still n'all, t'wud be nice if the DCB ploughed some of that AIG dosh into a computerized system (similar to the season ticket one) whereby PP holders could print off their own tickets at home.

Ok, that's me done giving out until, until...ah b0ll0x, today is bin day and no one put them out....

Great news though, this will cheer you up - Kavanagh's have put on a summer service from Grangemockler to Mullinahone

Ah sure what would you know , your not a real GAA person, you're what Pat Spillane likes to call part of the Olay Olay Brigade. You don't really know about football, only along for the ride.


He hasn't said or written that since 2009

Do we need to take up a collection of unwanted anoraks, coddle, jumbo packs of Pampers & bottled water, to cope with the influx of Refugee Ressers?

Jayzus....and the Syrians think they have it bad ! :eek:

So dont praise Dublin or acknowledge that they have a very strong team and are tactically solid at the moment?

Jeez some people are never happy!

August 2011 act-shully.

Same as here.

#LuckyCharmMe

Hotels in KK were already fully booked out (for the Cats Laughs Comedy Festival,) when the match venue was announced. But we're not allowed give out about it. Suck it up mate, welcome to how the other half lives, blah, blah, blah....:rolleyes:

I don't think he ever will but the stats in that are surprising all the same.
The younger lads in midfield give him even more options

I find the way that POTY is picked to be extremely frustrating- if a lad has a mediocre year and a good final then he is in with a very, very strong chance.

Too much weight is put on the one match and the majority of the season is disregarded

Paul flynn had two great final games for Dublin last year but I think it was decided that Walsh was the all star and his season relatively poor when the semis were not even decided yet.

I do see where you are coming from though, but also last year I think if Mayo had beaten Dublin AOS would have been POTY regardless.
I thought it was a funny year for POTY last year with respect to the media ruling lads in and out mid season, all far too early IMO
