Not even GAAGO?
Michael Healy Rae will get some mileage out of GoGo TV in the Dail this week.
Both Saturday matches are GAAGO
Isnât Dee Forbes a director of Muldoon Go?
This whole thing stinks.

Jeez thatâs unrealâŚwas a few digs flying around her tenous connection to Munster rubby and it turns out all along she is one of the key movers and shakers in the GAAâŚonrale
She is I believe along with Mr. McBennett.
That will cause a stir in Kerry
Dee made sure Cork were on free-to-air on the Sunday.
I dont think all 4 have been on terrestrial TV in a while? Nobody really cared before except Michael duignans mother in law. There will be huge outcry this year proving that the new format is great as it has built excitement to a crescendo

@Cheasty on a scale of 1-10, in terms of âbignessâ, how big is next Sundayâs clash between Dublin and Mayo?

Was it blown at the time?
Youâd have to look at the specific definition of a bounce in the rules on that one. Unless it says specifically that a bounce must be re-gathered, I would have thought that would be a free.
Interesting one though.
You can hop the ball basketball style legally for as long as you like so long as you donât catch it

Correct. You could go the length of the field hopping it as long as you donât take it in your hands.
Another little known rule in hurling is that if a goalie taking a puckout misses his strike he can rise and strike the ball like a free once he doesnât handle it.
âWhen the ball has not been caught, it may be bounced more than once in successionâ

The other contentious one in that section:
âAny player who falls or is knocked to the ground while in possession of the ball may fist or palm the ball away on the ground, and may score by doing soâ

Like Joe Sheridan?
He carried it over the line first no?
Only having 2 on telly is a really retrograde step.
Less big than Galway v Mayo yesterday. Yesterday had a High Noon feel to it. The intensity of the Galway v Mayo rivalry has built steadily since 2016.
Dublin v Mayo will be the second game of a double header and lots of people will have left the stadium. I donât like the second game slot in a double header. Dublin v Donegal in 2016 was a good example of this. Tyrone v Mayo that day had a better atmosphere. There were yawning gaps in the stands by the second half of the second game. Kerry v Mayo last year was a terrible let down after Galway v Armagh.
Dublinâs support has tailed off big time and while a decent Dublin crowd will turn out for this one a lot of them will be of the silent observer variety. Thereâs a sort of Manchester United 2016 air about support for Dublin now. Thereâs also a feeling that the Dublin v Mayo rivalry has peaked. That peak was 2015-2017 and a lot of the main players in those games - the identifiable characters - have moved on. No more Keegan v Connolly v Philly v Aido. The counties have met so many times now that there is a bit of a jaded feel to it. Thereâs a bit of a Kerry-Tyrone 2012 vibe to this meeting.
Bigness rating: 6/10
