i know. But he is in a loop now to keep up with the Joneses. The big house the two cars the foreign holidays. Really if he stepped back heâd realise the few pounds heâs getting from RTE of a Sunday arenât as important as the time he could be spending with his children.
The Queens shilling.
He likes keeping up Joneses Road with his kids - drives there in a big car. Dublin is in a foreign country so it is a foreign holiday. Croke Park is near the Big House.
He probably gets euros from RTE.
Logout ta fuck. :rolleyes:
Ah jaysus

Would you be in favour of Straight Knockout in Senior Intercounty matches? Thoughts?[/QUOTE]
Yip, as long as there is a decent league previous to it and the thing runs pretty much week to week. There shouldnât be a huge gap between when 8 teams get knocked out of the last 16 and the eventual finalists getting their club games going again.
I like the NZ rugby model, and it looks like we may head to something like that
True, although I think they are grown up now ya?
However it doesnât get away from you begrudgery.
Ah now Fagan, it was a pure jealous begrudging comment, all day long.
Are you jealous Joe gets some limelight? He has his faults, like us all, but hae embraces them. And he is as is, I doubt he puts much on. Heâs a WUM, but thatâs what he is.

Iâm jealous, Kev. I wish it was me and not Joe.
Lyster. Today Iâm joined by Colm OâRourke but Joe Brolly canât be with us today. Joe has decided to spend Sunday with his family for once and of course he has a big case coming on next week so heâs doing a bit of preparation for that as well.
Anyway not to worry. Weâve lined up a super replacement analyst in his place. A big Sunday Game welcome to Fagan ODowd.
FOD. Thanks Michael. Howya Colm.
Lyster. Iâm sure Fagan needs no introduction. A man that has illuminated the game at some of the lowest levels imaginable. Who will ever forget his performance at corner back in the Eastern IFC final against Killure in Portlaw all those years ago when he stood in the breach and held back the Killure tide singlehandedly. Or his performance on the side of a hill in the Dublin Mountains in the first round of the Dublin JFC against Brittas. The stuff that dreams are made of. Fagan you are very welcome.
FOD. Thanks Michael.

I would also strongly consider a 2nd grade championship. If they want to keep the provincials as a stand alone pre-season then fine, that gives the small county the chance of a surprise and maybe silverware.
If you look at the divisional championships in Kerry, they are very highly rated and the odd time youâll have a Junior team rattling a senior team and fairly regular intermediate beat senior. Those teams donât think they should be in the Kerry senior championship however.
Wouldnât say Sligo or Clare who have to a certain extent a gar for football and have half decent teams prefer a crack off Mayo or Kerry early and then go into a 16 team championship with a chance of winning.
Very few elite competitions in the world in team sport have 33 teams going for the cup, as invariably only a handful have a chance. NFL does, but look at their structure, nobody loses out.
I think the league should determine your championship placing. So I think 4 regional sections of 8 seems the logical solution. Cost is down straight away and teams already have 7 games so nothing changes. Get rid of national league finals or play offs, youâd just win your region and you are then preparing for provincial. I would consider scraping the provincials but there are too many yokels who want to keep them alive so everyone needs something. Provincials played in 4 week period, all finals in same weekend and a week break afterwards for all. Games finish on the day, end of story.
It means even the very first league game is of importance. I think it will also increase crowds as maybe your last 16 position gets you home or away. Letâs say cork are 3rd in the league going into the last league game with Tipp who are 2nd, Kerry 1st. Cork need the win to get a home last 16 spot. A loss will mean top 4 but the possibility of Dublin or Donegal away in last 16.
1/4âs onwards all in CP.
I think Provincials could start in middle of April. Championship starts in last week of may. You could maybe give a week between 1/4âs and semiâs (add to quality) and youâd nearly be done at tail end of June.
There is too much short sightedness for this right now, but at least the likes of this is being explored and talked about. Usually takes 5-6 years for the idea to become obvious to a lot of people.

I donât think you are jealous so much of him actually being on TV, itâs more the money.
He makes 300k and more and thatâs what annoys you more than anything.

Will someone print out Fagans joke, and ram it the fuck down this gobshites throat, at least then he might get the point.
Give him a few more posts and he might get it, at which point heâll tell all and sundry that he and Fagan were basically agreeing with each other and that the rest of us just donât get it.
