Thereā€™s a bit too much loose hurling in this Crokes-Ballyboden tie. A lot of aimless bals being hit by both sides. Ballyboden forwards cannot win their own ball, the only one that stands out is ex-county man Paul Ryan. Crokes have superiority in the middle of park - that Purcell lad is everywhere. Crowe & Sheehy impressive too.

The distribution from the Boden keeper was poor but they were outworked in most areas.

Upper middle class suburbia GGA games tend to be snoozefests mate

TG4 used to broadcast a special blitz tournament for Irish language speaking clubs every June bank holiday.

Iā€™d love it if there was a tournament run along similar lines for middle class clubs called the Fine Gaels Cup sponsored by Brown Thomas, Donnybrook Fair, Ballymaloe.

Crokes, Boden, Douglas, Na Piarsaigh, Adare, Westport, Salthill-Knocknacarra, St Brigidā€™s Belfast, plus you could throw in your perennial choker fanny teams like Celbridge, Breaffy and Kilcar.

You could probably throw in a Lucan Sarsfields representation from north of the N4 too

Lucan had a Superquinn.

Then again so did Finglas, but thereā€™s an exception to every rule.

My personal favourite Superquinn was the one in Kimmage, but I donā€™t think Crumlin GAA would be a worthwhile addition to this competition

A shithole

Martin Breheny needs to rank his favourite Superquinns in order, if only to stop me from doing so.

Very harsh red card on the stroke of half-time in the Donegal final.

The wrong lad got a red. Its terrible fare so far.

Its hard to expect any better with donegal club football. Always muck

Dreadful conditions.

Lot of links between Glenties and Creeslough so nice to see ut in fairness.

Mid Kerry on a completely different level to Feale Rangers. Giving an exhibition of kicking.

Mid Kerry look decent. Feale Rangers look very limited.

These games between Kerry divisional sides are so devoid of atmosphere. Glorified county trials.

Very odd game to choose for TV.
