Conor Lehane is going to be some player, good performance from him again today, probably didn't really deserve the man of the match to be honest but that'll do his confidence and belief in himself a lot of good.

There was a beuor behind me kept saying "go on Ben" every time he got the ball

Eventually a kid in front of us turned around and said "here girl, have a loan of my program'

Epically funny

To be fair to her there are some similarites between them, both very exciting players.

The number 10 and black helmet wouldn't of helped either haha. Pity Ben isn't staying for another year though.

Future looking bright though.

There's so much hurling going on around here it would make your head spin, am I the only bastion of Gaelic football greatness ? I suppose it would be fitting as that I'm the only Kerryman as well.

Can someone tell me the format for the hurling leagues. Is there a league final so to speak for each division or how does it work? I know there is a relegation playoff in each division just wanted to know about the top. They seems to have changed the format this year?

Billy The Kid · « **Reply #284 on:** March 27, 2012, 10:03:27 am »

When are we doing one of those draft thingys for this?

Yeah, we'll deffo have to vote amongst ourselves. I'm just trying tho think who'll make up the numbers

Me, you, Kerrykop, Corkopite, Lawnmower, and Mackeroo are the only real 'regularish" posters in this thread

We could PM corkboy, MBL, wardides and a few more and tell them to get their ass in gear

Obviously we'd have to let Sarge play or he'll throw a fit. Thats 10 participants there

Billy The Kid · « **Reply #288 on:** March 27, 2012, 10:26:26 am »

I forgot about Dermot too mon. He'll shtart throwin shlaps if we don't let him in as well

Didi?

Himself and KERRYKOP will be a fierce battle, come the voting.

Me and Didi have patched it up us both being Clondalkinites and all

Good stuff Bill, never done one of these before so I'm not sure how they work. I have the general jest, but might need some clarification.

Are we doing a Hurling and a football team or a mix of both?

Anywhichwayicant · « **Reply #292 on:** March 27, 2012, 11:08:25 am »

Out of interest, when shall this be commencing, rough idea?

Anywhichwayicant · « **Reply #293 on:** March 27, 2012, 12:44:37 pm »

If this commences this week, I'll have to miss it.

A second draft I'll have to pass on, in the space of ten days, due to my jet-set lifestyle.

When Sarge organizes it

Lets start with a football one first, then we can do hurling one after it

The hurlers are on course for a divison 2A title, but I'm afraid the footballers are languishing at the bottom of division 4

Have you picked up the new shirt yet?

Sarge · « **Reply #297 on:** March 27, 2012, 09:30:12 pm »

Yeah go on then.

Anywhichwayicant · « **Reply #298 on:** March 27, 2012, 09:55:34 pm »

At least I'll definitely be able to partake in the hurling one.

Would have been fun, schooling all you Gaelic heads, with my vast knowledge of such an inferior sport.

One could argue that Football is in a far healthier state than Hurling at the moment, the inferior sport has thrown up better games in the last few championship'a for one thing. Just look at the state of the Munster championship, the once Jewell in the hurling crown has seen the frenetic cut and thrust fall to a slow trickle. Was it Waterford or Tipp who won it last year? I'm not sure.

Anywhichwayicant · « **Reply #300 on:** March 28, 2012, 01:01:48 am »

Overall Gaelic is in a healthier state, but there's still no finer sight in GAA than Kilkenny in September.

Not sure how much I'll be on over the next couple of days but, regarding the GAA draft, if it starts before Friday week, go ahead without me. If it's start Friday week, include me but just put me as last person on the list to pick.

CorKopite · « **Reply #301 on:** March 28, 2012, 01:59:23 am »

Yeah I'll play anyway. Sarge, I volunteer you to organise it, you're the best at this sort of thing.

My accumulator for the 4 provinces this year. Comments welcome!!!

Dublin
Kerry
Down
Galway

85/1

Going to do a littel saver too on replacing Down with Tyrone and it's 42/1

Have you seen Galway recently? They are shocking, the only hope they have is if Michael Meehan regains fitness and plays the best football of his life. Hard to look past Tyrone after they're run in the league, but as always Ulster is hard to call, Down, Donegal, Derry and Armagh in that order all have realistic chances at it. Kerry and Dublin are the only things approaching a safe bet, but on the other hand its time Dublin lost a Leinster championship and Kerry v Cork is a toss of a coin, so to wrap it up I think that bet is 85/1 for a reason

Sarge · « **Reply #306 on:** March 28, 2012, 02:00:31 pm »

No doing it taking part alrighty.

Billy The Kid · « **Reply #307 on:** March 28, 2012, 07:16:19 pm »

I wouldn't touch the Ulster Championship, too hard to call.

A Dublin/Kerry provincial double would make more sense

I'm doing it for value to be honest, the draw for Ulster is very favourable to Down if you take a looo at it. Tyrone, Armagh, and Donegal are all on the other side. They have to play Fermanagh in the 1st round and then winners of Monaghan and Antrim in the semi final. They should get to an Ulster final and then it's anyones. Tyrone do look excellent but I think they have a very tough draw.

If Galway beat Kildare in last league game they are promoted to division 1 so I think they are going alright. Mayo are shite and I think Galway have a chance of beating them in a connacth final.

As I said I'm doing it for value rather than going with odds on favourites. Chances of it coming in are slim but if it does happy days!

I have one going for the league that was 90-1 and it's looking good so hopefully it will happen again..

Ask Sarge he is the Draft Master.

What's this about a draft now? Quick run through would be very helpful.

KERRYKOP · « **Reply #317 on:** April 1, 2012, 01:56:43 am »

Now that Sarge has put his foot down and decided not to do the draft no one else will pull the finger out.

I would step up myself only I dont know how it works

Dubs getting tonked by Mayo tonight, Sam is heading Wesht mon!
