ST VINCENT’S MARCHED into the Dublin SFC final yesterday after beating Ballyboden and Diarmuid Connolly helped himself to 1-6 in the win. The highlight of his tally was undoubtedly this great finish that raised the green flag.

Not as good as his solo screamer against St Sylvester’s but still an excellent goal.
There’s third world country’s that have better stadiums than we have … (outside Dublin) .. disgrace
@John McK: quantity over quality
@John McK: just because you say it doesn’t make it true. There’s no third world countries with similar populations that have a stadium like Semple Stadium in a town of the size of Thurles.
It’s hard to think that €10 m on Semple would be anything other than a cosmetic patch up. And the stadium is still in Thurles!! On the other hand, the same amount spent on rebuilding the Mackie stand in Limerick would leave Munster with two stadia capable of hosting finals and other major events in cities with decent connections.
They could spend 10m bulldozing the whole town, kip.
Having been at the Munster hurling final last year, I thought the toilets in the Kinnane stand were the most shambolic crush I have ever experienced. Tiny toilet, huge stand and lots of people absolutely wasted. A recipe for disaster.
