You'd want your head examined or have daughters like Hopper McGrath, to manage a Ladies team thread

I love our girls playing our game .

However, women’s soccer is fuckin unwatchable . I’ll watch some rough Cavan girls roll around all day but I’m never watching women’s soccer even if it’s Brazil

Lively start to the ladies’ final.

Dublin 0-2 Cork 0-2 after 9 minutes.

Live on TG4.

0-5 apiece at half time. Both teams have set up with double sweepers and it’s very defensive. Dublin have two very good inside forwards and Cork are loathe to give them space. Unfortunately it’s meant there’s been a lot of aimless kicking from distance. Plenty of wides and nothing efforts dropping short to the goalkeepers. A poor enough standard so far.

wtf?

they were speaking about this on the radio today :grinning:

there are men involved with these teams too :grinning: :grinning:

One of the players on the Waterford team earlier is from Tipperary,lives in Tipperary and plays for a Tipperary club.

how do you know that/.?

I backed Dublin @12-5,pretty good price.if they can continue to keep mulcahey quite and cut down on the wides they will win this

Dublin really struggling with corks blanket defence…

Dublin look fitter. Need a goal though.

Anybody who thinks the Ladies’ countdown clock system is a better system than that in Mens’ GAA got their answer there.

Cynical fouling shit from Cork closed out the game for them. Farcical scenes with about 50 seconds left as the referee wasted about 30 seconds booking a Cork player for a black card type tackle as the clock continued to tick down.

It’s a terrible system.

He let the next equally cynical foul go then without any card for some reason

Ref was poor overall. Cork just too cute in the end up

Dublin were naive.

Cork were clever.

Very poor game.

Each side must have kicked 10+ efforts short to the opposition goalkeeper.

Absolutely mickey mouse of an organisation.

After their final game of Division One, the Armagh ladies footballers sit level on points with Cork, Dublin and Kerry.

At the weekend, they played a rescheduled fixture against Cork. The playing of that game itself was somewhat of a shambles. It was originally slated for April 9th. However, due to weather conditions, the game was cancelled. Just a day previous, Armagh management requested confirmation that a Plan B was in place should the Eire Og pitch not be playable. They were told to travel regardless. According to The Belfast Telegraph, the cancellation of that game and it not being played on the originally scheduled date cost Armagh €4,000.

Following the game against Cork, which Armagh lost by three points, they were told by the Ladies Gaelic Football Association that they had qualified for the Division One semi-finals.

That turned out to be incorrect - it was Kerry who had qualified for the final four. Armagh were informed of the mistake by phone call.

Last night on Facebook, Armagh management - led by 2002 All-Ireland winner Ronan Clarke - released a strong statement.

We have decided as a team not to pursue the injustice and total disregard today regarding our treatment by the total incompetence of the LGFA in their decision of initially and officially informing our team we had qualified for a Div 1 league semi final for the first time in the history of Armagh ladies football to be then told via phone call that we had not qualified - our team have been treated very poorly over the past 2 weekends by a so called official association - we would like to thank the Armagh ladies County Board in particular our Chairman Owen Reel who had offered to fight a legal case on our behalf.

We feel as a team involved in a sport that we see other associations and players fighting for equality and recognition that what happened today puts our sport in jeopardy as we constantly strive to improve support and finances to build the sport we are involved in.

We will however do what we can in our power to see that this does not happen any other county in the future by fighting for change in the rules and regulations.

We wish the remaining four counties in our division Cork, Mayo, Dublin and Kerry all the best in their league semi finals.

I wonder do they allow Transgender persons play?

Does the GAA?

How would we know?
