You mentioned Kilkenny and then came to an abrupt halt, I assumed you were talking about football when you referred to Dublin, I'm sure you have noticed things have changed considerably in the last 20 years, never mind 70 !"]So Dublin have the shelf packed with hurling trophies because of Croke Park and all their resources. It is funny that these things only surface when teams are successful. Now we have complaints about the support J.P. is giving to Limerick. I could not care if Croke Park was out on Achill Island and Mayo got to play their games there. I am proud of our National stadium. You really think Kilkenny won't win anymore All-Ireland if others have more money and resources than them ? Like I started, it is a contributing factor but there is more to success.

The D4 media will be scutinizing the GAA this summer. And every breach of Covid guidelines will be on the front pages of the Indo and Irish Times. So please GAA fans and players be careful what you do. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2517 - 12/06/2021 13:31:36 2349768 Link 1 |

Seems the Anti GAA crowd were losing it over the 40,000 attending the All-Ireland Field. Shame they were so vocal in opposing the number as it will stop any talk of increasing the Football attendance. brisbane (Galway) - Posts: 674 - 29/08/2021 13:19:27 2375994 Link 1 |

Fact is that RTE and the other even worse channel are full of presenters who hate GAA, along with lots of other things associated with the country. Let us never forget that one of them ran a poll to try and get the championships called off last year. Another one spent hours attacking clubs and their supporters over county finals. Apart from games, I neither watch nor contribute to either. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2521 - 29/08/2021 14:51:15 2376032 Link 9 |

Barney you'll get these boys with their rugby heads on, they're on another forum comparing long frees to rugby kicks, like a wee soft rugby ball and a field the size of your front garden. The only skilled player on a rugby field is the kicker.

KillingFields when you first brought up this subject of changing and updating the forum I didn't agree with you simply because I didn't see any reason to, but now I do agree it badly needs modifying and updating, all in one reams of multiple and lengthily posts in bold format is a bit much.
