A pub celebrating a Limerick victory.
Thanks for that.
Welcome.
From google, the Connemara Irish Bar might be the best bet.
Accommodation booked on AirBnB and it is “just a few steps” from the Palace Square in Bordeaux according to the description. At €45 a night between us, I’m expecting a proper penthouse for myself and @ChocolateMice to get a party started with a load of saucy french hookers.
@Big_Dan_Campbell will you be calling around for a few beers? I owe you a cuppa at least from Poznan.
Meh,
I am not too pushed about it. I have applied for tickets and if I get them I will travel. I’m gone too old for gallivanting

Give over, you’re only a pup… When you a truly too old you’ll be well up for it.
A typical lazy defeatist Clare attitude.

Christ, that’s disappointing.
It is the ambivalence I have towards the national team due to the management of O’Neill and the Cork prick. If Mr Trapattoni or Big Mick were manager I would be there with bells on, I am rather indifferent now though and will go if someone else organises the trip or if I have tickets.
Interesting actually to hear Steven Ward have a cut off Trapattoni today on Ian Dempsey. Basically saying that MON and the management now have made it a far more open camp, more enjoyable for the players and the entire set up and how he was far more looking forward to these Euros as a result.
Yes, there’s far too much going on and your eyes are dragged all over the place.
Too many website try to be fancy and graphically innovative rather than just keeping it simple and guiding their visitors through their website to the pages that they’re looking for.
That is desperate.
Everything is too big. The formatting on the Features and analysis section is all off.
That GAA TV section is brutal, I’ve seen that type of effect work very well on other sites, but that’s a woeful implementation of it.
Ya
I don’t get the obsession with having massive homepages, four or five pages long and linking to every possible page. A nice neat homepage with a few links to steer you where you need to be is the way forward.
@TreatyStones is there some logic to the massive front pages? Something to do with searches or some such?
It’s a fad that took hold about two years ago, but sites are starting to move away from it again. There are pros and cons to it. The main reason people use is if they have limited content and don’t want to be make users, in particular mobile users, load an extra page that will only have a couple of lines of text. It can work very well, but for a content rich site like the GAA there is no real reason to use it. You just push the relevant information further below “the fold”.

That’s normally done for SEO (search engine) requirements.
Google will crawl your home page and every direct link from it more often, giving you a boost on search engine ranking for completing certain tasks like this.
For a higher authority site like the GAA, they would get little if any boost from it.
Looking at it again, it definitely seems have been designed with “mobile first” in mind. I’m guessing it probably looks fairly well on the phone, but it looks ridiculous on any sort of high resolution desktop monitor.
Absolutely, I couldn’t agree more. The strong likelihood is that there’s no one working in the GAA Marketing department that has a clue about websites or how digital marketing work and they just opted for a website that was recommended by an agency.
They’ve got some agency call Deltatre designing it so presumably it was completed for mobile first. It’s smart to do that but you cannot completely ignore your desktop users.
To my mind the best sports body website out there is NFL.com.
All others should try and replicate it.
A fucking London- based web design agency.
There’s plenty of good design house in Ireland and the cunts ship it across the water? Jokeshop!
