The players didn't want you anymore... and it's not hard to see why.
Pat harte and Ronan McGarrity look awfully alike….
Will Slattery could you mot wait a day and give us all a break from Gaa . Tomorrow is Sunday I’m sure you won’t be able to sleep waiting for more Gaa post . There’s other sports in this Country that never get a mention on the Journal .
I’ll admit I got the Mayo and Galway ones right anything after that was a guess which was 1
Give us a break from the GAA, as I write this comment there are 3 GAA related articles on the front page of the42, there are 20 soccer related articles but its the GAA that is apparently preventing the exposure of other sports on the42.
Alan I often see you comment negatively on GAA articles for no good reason other than you clearly have some sort of negative bias against the sports. GAA is popular in Ireland you’re just going to have to accept that a lot of articles will be written about these sports.
I’d actually be of the opinion that there isn’t enough GAA articles and there’s never any proper analysis done on the games unlike the rugby, soccer, mma etc.
Exactly. Love to see the 42 have some detailed tactical analysis on gaa games next season, like murray kinsella does with rugby. Alan – you are a fool.
You didn’t know any of them and get ya have a picture of a gah team as your profile picture. Jaysus.
You might as well ask “How well do you know your Brazilian League managers?”. Ain’t got a clue on either
Do they get paid like the manager.
In the name o’ jaysus…..
just answered the dublin and kerry ones couldn’t give a f@ck about the rest as they dont matter.
