Replying To Orchardgael22: "You are more than entitled to your opinion and this weekends games were certainly no blockbusters. But gaelic games are so much more than 70minutes of football. In Armagh, we live to watch our team play, and win or lose will continue to turn up for the lads who sacrifice so much for the game. Yes, we played a boring brand of football yesterday and were disappointed by our own performance, but we still had a great day out. If you aren't getting enjoyment out of gaelic football, then maybe the loves gone and you need to find a new sport." I agree with you Orchardgael, the same people who complain about GAA will be the same people clued to the TV watching boring 0-0 draws in the premiership. Players don't get paid so are under no obligation to entertain. Unlike soccer, GAA players are more interested in results. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2062 - 30/06/2024 20:43:10 2556055 Link
Replying To CiarraiMick: "Paddypowers are the real bookies Kerry wvens Galway 3/1. Bookies odds are made up by actuarers wprked out on the amount of money put down.Dublin were favourites for Sam before yesterday.Cork hurlers were 50/1 before they beat Limerick.Bookies judge but they cant play." A bookie is a bookie, as anyone who has gone to the races will testify... PP are the real bookies.... ;o) lol Boylesports odds are the same now as I posted earlier. 4 bookies have Galway @ 9/2 and 3 others have them @ 4/1 If I was a confident Galway betting fan - i would not be going to PP The odds matter not - kerry wont be beaten.

Replying To tireoghainabu: "That Derry v Kerry game was a disgrace, when is somebody going to put a stop to this "muck". By the way well done to Galway and I hope you win the All Ireland." The semi final could be more of the same unfortunately. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3845 - 30/06/2024 20:56:07 2556059 Link
Congrats Donegal on a gr8 win today. Congrats to Kerry also for deservedly progressing. I think both Louth and Derry suffered from their extra games the previous week, both involving extra time.....They just hadnt the legs in the 2nd half. Glad that we were not in this situation. Looking forward to the Galway game and the Kerry/Armagh game too. Hard to believe we are at this stage without Dublin. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3840 - 30/06/2024 21:00:42 2556061 Link

Correct. This is one of the greatest Kerry teams of all times. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 3644 - 30/06/2024 21:00:50 2556062 Link

Young people are losing interest in Gaelic football and I can't blame them. Mabey you should watch the hurling next weekend and see what Gaelic games are all about. tireoghainabu (Tyrone) - Posts: 289 - 30/06/2024 21:04:18 2556064 Link

Hopefully Shane Walsh will be ok. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3845 - 30/06/2024 21:20:48 2556069 Link

I'm also actively engaged with the underage development in my local area so have a fairly good understanding of the interest young people have in the game. Week in, week out we see floods of young ones running on to the pitch to get autographs from their hero's from both teams. And we are very lucky to have the role models we do within the GAA.

You're one of these negative people talking rubbish. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2062 - 30/06/2024 21:33:36 2556074 Link

Replying To Saynothing: "Would you take a game like the Kerry v Derry game if Galway could win the All Ireland?" No I wouldnt. But that's probably just me personally. PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 1923 - 30/06/2024 23:10:06 2556102 Link

I am guaranteed a windfalll.....??? lol With 4/5 odds - big windfall alright... It is kerry's to lose, and if they were to lose it at this stage, the kerry folk would be less than forgiving, for many a year. They can yerra yerra all they like - but this one should be in the bag for them. if not - them players will find it very hard to get over imo. Like I said already - Galway are the only ones who might come close to them. There are very few kerry fans not confident about Sam this year, at this stage. And fewer bookies....

Professional soccer is literally a results business. Livelihoods depend on it. GAA is a cultural pass time. It should be all about entertainment.
