Gaa split season,killing Meath football since 2011

Iā€™d love to see @Cheasty to do up a ā€˜personality profileā€™ of the average split season zealot.

Similar to his Canice Pilkington series.

West Ham v Arsenal was well over by the time Tyrone v Monaghan threw inā€‹:grinning::grinning::grinning::grinning::grinning:

No dual club player would have the time to post ad nauseum on here.

Theyā€™re the same type of personality as the following people:
The person who thought it was a good idea to change the Eastenders theme music.
The person who thought it was a good idea to change the Sunday Game theme music.
The person who thought it was a good idea to change the Dairy Milk wrapping to plastic.
The people who genuinely believed German car manufacturers would force the EU to do a Brexit deal giving all the benefits of EU membership to the Brits but none of the responsibilities.
The sort of people who ā€œlikeā€ TheLiberal.ie on Facebook because they think they might win stuff in competitions they donā€™t understand are fake.

Mean while back in the real world fans canā€™t afford to go the games or even watch them on tv in some cases.

We need to stop pandering to the inter county managers immediately.

The GAA needs to subsidise fans to go to the games and then subsidise them to watch the games, and then subsidise them to go for pints after the games.

Too late. All started when Clare and Loughnane got success. Loughnane stopped club championship in summer and every other county followed suit. The horse has bolted.

Iā€™m in. Sign me up.

Weā€™re already subsidising you old man.

Mick and Clare are just simple anti-corruption campaigners who want a good, honest Russia/China style regime in Ireland.

Nasty post. Reported in fact - blatant ageism. Admins: Ban this mong.*

If there isnā€™t 70,000 at Limerick vs Waterford you can forget about hurling

You cant be saying mong in this day and age mate.

If theres not itā€™s cause the Waterfordā€™s are all in Limerick robbing us blind.

Will it beat the 15k that were in attendance in 2011 for Waterford v Limerick?

Depends on the county. The big guns are going to Portugal and the likes but the Carlow footballers are going to Waterford for their training camp this weekend Cc @ChairmanDan. The haves and the have nots of inter-county.

The thing is, with the prices of hotels in Ireland, itā€™s probably cheaper to go away for a weekend in Spain than in Ireland.

I think warm weather camps for GAA teams are a bit of a cod really; but I do think the benefits of having the group together in one place for a few days is massive. Whether thatā€™s in warm weather or in the Roaster Hotel, thatā€™s your real benefit.

Obviously hard to balance that with work.

Back in early 1997 when Gerald McCarthy took over the Waterford team they went down to the Gold Coast Hotel in Clonea for a weekend training/bonding session. On the Saturday night the team had their dinner and were told to go up to their rooms. Laylay Barry, Growler Daly and Dan Shanahan came back down and drank the night away in the residents bar. Gerald needless to say got wind of it. He ran the shit out of the three of them the next morning and after training told Laylay and Growler that they were gone off the panel. Dan got off with a reprimand on the grounds that he was a youngster who was led astray by Growler his clubman.
