2026 All Ireland Football Championship

That would be in a stage coddler voice only like Rashers Tierney in Strumpet City.

The accent has evolved.

Whorelin as @binkybarnes states would be a more common pronunciation.

Fun fact, and this is an actual TDH fun fact: I attended the 1997 FAI Cup final between Shelbourne and Derry City at Dalymount Park. I was in the Derry City section as I wanted Derry City to win.

Towards the end of the game, Shelbourne took a 1-0 lead, and then they took a decisive 2-0 lead.

I was standing on the Tramway End, which was silent, and down in the distance at the School End, I could hear the jubilant Shelbourne supporters chanting “Shel…burd’n, Shel…burd’n, Shel…burd’n”.

People write that Dublinese pronunciation with a d included but really there’s no d there. Letters are inadequate to describe some Dublinese pronunciations.

In reality it’d be more like "Shel…bur…quick nasal humming noise putting your tongue to the roof of the front part of your mouth…nnn.

Why are the tommy rooney brigade not hammering down fisted point seniors door to get the dates and times for the next round of matches? Not a peep out of anyone about it.

It was the whole reason the draws had to be made before the provincial finals a few weeks ago.

Louth Armagh is the issue.

Just stick it in Inniskeen & get on with it.

Nice June/July evening with the bicycles going by in twos & threes.

These Armagh season ticket holders are like the Dubs back in the day when they went to games, they feel like they’re entitled to sit their holes down at all games.

Home advantage is home advantage, Louth can play it wherever they so choose irrespective of capacity. That’s the luck of the draw.

Ha, lets see how that works out.

I do think Louth deserve home advantage but to play devils advocate i think they do need to have a ground fit for purpose too, 3k is ridiculous. Put your resources into having a proper venue that won’t get you into these spots of bother again ffs.

It’s a balls to give up home advantage, but Navan and Newry are both stones throws from Louth. Wrangle a few extra bob off the GAA for your troubles and away you go

Inniskeen confirmed apparently.

Shit show

It’s a very simple rule that could/ should have been brought in long ago. You can nominate anywhere you want for home venue, but end of the day a final call has to be made if venue is okay depending on situation/ criteria/ season tickets. But here we are

Okay we will play it outside of Louth, but only in a venue that is considerably worse than two other nearby options
