If he gave a **** about real football, yes.What was he supposed to do, not publish the article for the common good?
Everytime he goes away on international duty he writes articles saying how he'd be much happier in the ****ing rain in Parnell Park or some such rubbish. Interesting my bóllocks.
ONE CITY, ONE TEAM.

And if he gave a sh!t about real swimming, he wouldn't have written what he did about Michelle de Bruin, I suppose? He's a journalist - his job is to tell the truth. If you'd rather take the official line, that's up to you.
the saipan article was fairly tame, didnt really say anything too extraordinary in it.
manager was just an insecure talentless idiot who decided the time to confront his best player was on the eve of the world cup. only people to blame for saipan were keane and macarthy.they should have just had a scrap on the rock hard training pitch with all the journos and players around them shoutin A-G-R-O.
thats the irish way.
Yes it must be up from one player every10 years to one every five years. The GAA is on an irreversible downward spiral. Soon RTE will have to digitally enhance the crowd in at games in Croke Park,

I have to disagree with you there gspain, hurling is one of the most skillful games in the world (and as the great Liam Griffin said-the riverdance of sport). The reason it is considered to be the poor relation of the GAA is because it is not played as widely as gaelic football, and the reason it isn't played as widely as football is becuase of the very high skill level and amount of practice required to play it. The GAA has tried to increase playing levels in other counties but sadly its just not working, hurling isn't as easy to coach as football. It comes down to bloodlines too, hurling is something that is just in the blood.
Being from Limerick I wouldn't have expected you to have come across skillful hurling anyway!!

Jesus, that's a bit harsh isn't it?
cant wait to see michael flately and his shiny chest lining out for sligo hurlers then
Apart from on All Ireland final days, on days when either Dublin/Tyrone or Armagh are playing, they almost do this now, by their agreement with the GAA to close the Upper Hogan and Upper Cusack for games that attract less than 48000 (I think that is the number, if not it is around that). This 'crowds' in the Lower Hogan and Lower Cusack, which for TV purposes makes the crowd look bigger than it is. The downside for live spectators is that many end up with God awful views from the ends of both stands when the best seats on the Upper decks are empty, a fact made worse by the GAA policy to charge one price for all Hogan/Cusack seats that are available to the public. So for 40 euro you could be on the half way line at the front or on the 13 metre line at the back of either stand.
Way off thread, I know, apologies!
