Complaining about TG4's Laochra Gael just highlights the contrary nature of GAA people. Unbelieveable. witnof (Dublin) - Posts: 1604 - 09/04/2020 13:40:32 2275612 Link
Brenda McAnesopie was a brilliant watch last night. It covered so much in just 1 hour. Tim_NicebutDim (Monaghan) - Posts: 347 - 10/04/2020 11:56:00 2275687 Link
Replying To Tim_NicebutDim: "Brenda McAnesopie was a brilliant watch last night. It covered so much in just 1 hour." Agreed. A true Laochra Geal and an extraordinary football family. Continued to excel despite the many obstacles and hardship that was put in front of her. winatallcost (Meath) - Posts: 509 - 10/04/2020 12:11:40 2275689 Link

Has Jack O'Shea ever appeared on Laochra Gael on TG4. Horsebox77 (Kerry) - Posts: 5491 - 10/04/2020 16:19:42 2275712 Link
Replying To Horsebox77: "Has Jack O'Shea ever appeared on Laochra Gael on TG4." I don't think jacko has been on it I haven't seen it anyway. We had Declan Colm Dara o'cineda Star Moynihan páidí ó Sé had Rí an Pharóiste which was semilar to Laochra Gael. Maurice Fitzgerald hasn't been on it either , I seen something on Micko Connell but don't think it was Laochra Gael either. Pat Spillane hasn't featured either I'd say. Micko Dwyer has a program on him on RTÉ as well. Johnnyprophet (Galway) - Posts: 39 - 10/04/2020 18:32:52 2275725 Link

Replying To witnof: "Complaining about TG4's Laochra Gael just highlights the contrary nature of GAA people. Unbelieveable." I think some people are forgetting the meaning of the word "Laochra" too. It means "warrior". It doesnt mean that you are " great" or that you are " the best". You can be a warrior without being skilful. In hurling I can think of Brendan Lynskey from my own county..... most definitely was a warrior for us in the 1980's team but also one of the least skilful players to play the game at the highest level during that period.

I know alot of the modern episodes are available on TG4 player but would be great if the older episodes were made available to purchase. TG4 have always produced excellent programmes none more so than Laochra Gael. winatallcost (Meath) - Posts: 509 - 11/04/2020 11:49:14 2275758 Link

Agreed. IMO some lads are taking the title of the show too literally, it's like claiming that all of the finals shown on "All-Ireland Gold" should be classics when many of them were anything but. My two cents is that cult heroes as well as the garlanded elite have their place. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 11/04/2020 13:39:52 2275765 Link

They should do one on the great Paddy Keenan from the Wonderful Wee County. Captain fantastic and Louth,s only All Star. He had a great attitude on and off the pitch. Ollie2 (Louth) - Posts: 784 - 14/04/2020 14:10:54 2275949 Link
Replying To Ollie2: "They should do one on the great Paddy Keenan from the Wonderful Wee County. Captain fantastic and Louth,s only All Star. He had a great attitude on and off the pitch." Superman wears Paddy Keenan pyjamas! Was re-reading The Road To 51 the other day and saw that Louth's All-Ireland winning side of 1957 had two Mayo men on it, Dan O' Neill and Seamus O'Donnell. They remain the most recent winners of Sam from the Yew County. O' Neill was a garda stationed in Drogheda who declared for the Wee County after the Mayo County Board queried his expense claims. Seems like shooting ourselves in the foot is a cross-generational trait... https://mayogaablog.com/?p=1359 Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 14/04/2020 16:48:02 2275968 Link

Now, I know nothing about the O'Neill case (do you?), but maybe they had a good reason to query. By the way, as you probably know, Dan O'Neill returned to Mayo in 1963 and played his final county game for the team. Cockney_Cat (UK) - Posts: 2466 - 14/04/2020 18:59:42 2275977 Link
