That cuntin’ day was the nadir of my time in the Farney Army, and ultimately, the indirect catalyst in my emigration.
Darren Frehill saying that the Longford v Kildare match may have to be moved from Pearse Park in Longford “due to Kildare’s massive travelling support”.
I meant to say it yesterday, but Fionn Fitzgerald was lamping that ball into Donaghy right?

Why on earth would they want to show the hurling instead of the football?
Viewing figures, pal. Kind of like @Rocko’s decision to change the forum was reasoned on the popular demand for change. The public gets what the public wants.

No he wasn’t. He is a regular enough scorer for Crokes and Fitzmaurice mentioned last night he regularly does that at training.
Bit like Domhnall O’Donovan so.
Shocking decision to deprive Longford of home advantage

Agree mate. Tyrone vs Meath or Armagh vs Galway would have been far more attractive options than Dublin vs Limerick. In addition to that the football championship has been far more entertaining than the hurling this year.
No complaints about Cork vs Clare being shown live. Potential to be a cracker (Although I’ve thought that about a few hurling games this summer and I’m still waiting for one).
Of course he is, but his body shape and eye placement suggest a man aiming for the square and not the posts.
If he was aiming, it was the most casual long range punt with last kick of the game ever seen. Not even Maurice would have been that casual.
Fitzgerald was definitely going for the score.
If he was aiming for KD, it would have been the most over hit pass of all time.
Fair fucks to him if so. He’s the most casual long range point taker there’s ever been.
He didn’t flinch after it went over though, he is probably a Cluxton type who was pissed off he had to take the shot on and not one of his forwards.
Rubbish. He looked up and went for it. With all the calmness of someone who knows his range and does it regularly.

Monster row last week in a behind closed door match in St Clares between Dublin and Armagh. Ballymun’s Davey Byrne has been left with a broken eye socket and nose as a result. Why Gavin wanted to play these no mark wannabe bouncers in a challenge match is beyond me.
