    I switch off if someone starts talking soccer to me, I hate anything to do with the premiership but will just about watch Ireland play!

    But I love GAA football, its in the blood and I played it for Stacks ladies as a young teen :)
    Not so into the hurling though!

    I was actually going to say it's a cunning plan of hers to get the place firebombed & collect a hefty insurance payout! ;)

    I think football is going the path of soccer in the sense that if someone gets a knock its a case of dive to the ground rolling in apparent agony until the ref makes a decision and you get a blast of the magic spray, all of a sudden your right as rain again.

    Now am not saying it always happens but it seems to be getting more common, and fair play to people that can take a hit and not dive.

    It's no wonder the naries made it to the semi final when their u16 bus stops in Connolly park and Marian park.

    The mitchels are like a green and gold phoenix, biding their time to rise again

    I guess if they win against Crokes you will be hosting a party at work? Perhaps Lelantos could be tracked down and make a guest appearance?

    :D

    Sore point. I do think the Mitchell's moving is more to do with the physical environment or ability to expand in Champers. I think its sympthomatic of the GAA becoming a more 'middle class' pursuit and moving away from its 'working class' roots that's taking place all over Ireland. The 'Mitchells' are now effectively a Manor rather than a Boherbee team. For anyone from Boherbee to follow, train or participate in the Mitchell's now you need a car, full stop.

    The Boherbee street itself had a huge tradition of supplying a conveyer belt of great underage & senior players to the Mitchel's team over the years.
    Unfortunately, the youngest male living in Boherbee these times is approx 23 years old.
    I'm sure this pattern is repeated in other traditional Mitchel strongholds & is a major factor in the clubs relocation

    I guess it is a hangover from the Celtic Tiger. In the same way during the boom there was a resurgence in the Gael Scoil. Ken & Karen , who between them had not a word of Irish , sent their children Fiachra and Sneachta to the local Irish speaking school. :D
    ;)KN is probably correct GAA has now become a pursuit of the middle class, particularly for those of whom would never figure out the oval ball!:P
