Even worse, she had relations in Charleville.

Quite possibly the worst ‘column’ ever published in Ireland:
“the rain is all around like wallpaper” [original metaphor: “a lick of paint”]
“a November downpour onto a November pitch” [could rain that falls in November hit a March pitch? Dumb and numbing…]
“tragedy heaped upon tragedy” = “a hook” [classy way to describe a cancer death, drug overdoses and a tragic accident…]
“It matter to who it matters to.”
‘to whom’ TO WHOM
Decent enough column by Clerkin there
Surprised anybody would get annoyed by stating the simple truth that club matches are local affairs with a poor standard of play which don’t matter very much to those who aren’t connected to those communities
The All-Ireland senior inter-county championships are the GAA’s showpiece competitions and what drive interest in the sports
I would have thought it’s a pretty uncontroversial viewpoint that by downgrading those competitions, the knock on effects for the grass roots are negative because the grass roots depends on children taking an interest in the showpiece competitions and having heroes they want to emulate
There’s no grass roots otherwise
Incidentally the club competitions are now being downgraded themselves by denying them of their showpiece final date
Strangely, a lot of club zealots seem quite happy at that
Turkeys voting for Christmas, or in this case voting for a foul Sunday in the middle of January
Or maybe their version of what people want isn’t remotely connected to reality

So coldly amusing when someone proves, yet again, truly a moron. This grasp of causation would not pass a go kart driving test.
There would be no “showpiece competitions” without prior specifically local activities. No clouds, no rain – November and any other month.
Some people’s level of cultural cringe is cold laughable. They even think themselves more ‘sophisticated’ for making off colour jokes about an attractive widow simply she is from Maree rather than from Marino.
All too sadly, this stuff would be all too easy to make up. At least Graham Linehan made a fortune, and an enduring achievement, out of writing Father Ted. The Canice Picklington guff type stuff is just a moron striving to be an idiot.

He’s segment on the sideline cuts. I’ve seen awful sideline cuts by some top county players. What a load of rubbish.

Too true. Limerick lost two senior inter county championship ganes this year due to sideline cuts
Clerkins article is in stark contrast to Dalos column in the examiner on the Chip final which was far more reflective of what Gaa people think of the club game, in my opinion.

Spot on. A canny juxtaposition.
Tosh, by way of an attempt at bish bosh.
Really, Mally Clerkin is a blind fingerless Jamie Oliver.
It was a very exciting game
In terms of quality, it wasn’t in the top 20
I’m going to be obvious here and say that Dublin v Kerry in the drawn All-Ireland football final was the best game of football all year
Work out why it was the best game of football all year
It is, isn’t it
The lack of self awareness is cherry on the cake, as you prove here
Well duh
And the reverse is also true
Which you seem to have a very hard time accepting
There’s a big bad world out there, you know
The GAA competes against Premier League football, rugby, MMA, and every other sport
You downgrade your showpiece, and guess what, people will desert the grass roots
Why do you think people are so exercised about the Sky deal
Because inter county matters, and because those who are clued in know that if your games aren’t in the shop window, you’re nothing
It’s really weird the way you keep repeating a meaningless phrase back to yourself
I’d almost call it a cultural cringe, if it meant something
More worryingly, it looks like in your case it’s a sign of your having Tourettes
The fact my stuff irks you to such an extent just shows how much it cuts close to the bone with you
Keep biting
