The Battle for Sam 2009

Well he must have been so but the production values were brutal. Anytime I heard McCarthy commentate on the basketball I liked him but not sure if being good on another sport translates to GAA. They tried Tony O’Hehir the racing commentator on GAA about 10 years ago and he was brutal. Actually they should try that “Fraaaank!” lad who did the hockey in the last Olympics for the laugh.

Super win for Antrim - I hope my occupied brothers and sisters enjoy their celebrations tonight. They deserve days like today for all they put into promoting the games.

Timmy Mac is a legend of a commentator

‘Arooouunnnddd da hooouuuuses.’

I love the way Tony Davis praises them now but once Cavan beat them he’ll dismiss Antrim as a football county outright.

That Laois goal was nearly as good as Clares one last week. Clancy should have been blown up for picking straight off the ground.

Tony Davis thinks Laois will be strong this year. As far as I can gather, most people in Laois think they’re going nowhere.

I fancied them to beat Kildare until I saw the highlights tonight. They look awful soft.

BTW - that stamping incident was no worse than Matty-gate. Will there be the same outcry? Like fook there will.

We’ll see. I say yer man will get banned anyway.

No media circus this time. Very typically Irish.

Forde is a high profile player - what do you expect?

Its only a few hours after the game Mac, they showed it 3 times in a row on the highlights and then 3 more times in the analysis. What do you want, a witch hunt right away?

Dempsey has a decent side there once all are fit, but there’s not much on the bench. Kingston didnt kick today at all, doing his LC at the moment to be fair to him.

Laois utterly dominated midfield today and the whole central area, good to see. Half back line cleaned up.

Bring on the fucking white fellas.

what the fook are you on about- forde stamped on a player & tried to hospitalise him - you are peversely trying to portay forde as the victim because the incident got a few column inches:rolleyes:

Ah the Irish media are just cunts

he deserved everything he got for that stamp:mad:

Give the papers a chance to come out in the morning Mac.

You’re funny if nothing else I’ll give you that. Tried to hospitalise him?? Laughed out loud at that one! I never tried to portray forde as the victim at all but read into it what you like.

Care to answer my earlier question about your obsession with GAA attendances?

Is there any gaa game you haven’t seen? A true gael:clap:

me & DB were at that game- it was then i decided that rural football was not the game for me
