Agreed they should have kept it low key but its a final they are in now thats why the excitement rather than the fact they won one match

The GAA dont capitalise on anything Rory, It's much easier to support the county team. At most they play 4 championship games a year. It's easy to support a team just four times a year. Thousands of people going to the final would not have even been at the Roscommon game. Fivesilver is right about it not being possible to maintain any sort of hype throughout the EL season (unless you in the top 3/4 every week). Supporting GAA is just different, so I wouldnt get my nose out of joint over it. Everyone should hope they win and Good luck to them !!

I emailed Noel Mooney to see what his plans for this was and this is some of what he said:

I look forward to giving it serious holly up there and I will liaise with you throughout.

Very quick reply, fair play to him!

I think that's the first time I've ever got a reply from the F.A.I.

You have to give him credit he seems to be putting his heart into the whole thing.

He seems a nice bloke also, I know its his job but credit to anyone who shows such commitment and doing the travelling the gig entails.
