The Ulster teams are a blight on the game of gaelic football. I wish the fecking Ulster branch would get out there and make these nord-muck savages into rugby players. Both games could reap the benefit.

I think Tyrone will win the all ireland. Just the dubs to beat in the semis. They will hammer Kerry/mayo in the final.

This is the one and only time I've ever wanted Tyrone to win anything.

Aye, me too Hairy, sure what could bate a good pinch up on the train home, and if some wee girl gets a punch in the mouth, sure she was probably asking for it, bitch.

Hard to tell GAA fans from wendyball fans. You wouldn't wish either on a Jehovahs witness.

That's not the norm so not really fair to portray it as such. I've been going to games for 25 years and the only fight I've seen was in the late 90's. Unlike soccer, there's no segregation at the games either.

I'm remember some quite unsavoury behavior on a train back from a certain Heineken cup semi-final.

Only slightly serious Hairy but there are pretty regular mass brawls, just like rugby but quite often the sidelines seem to get into the scrap too. Maybe it's the way forward, lose Kiss in a brawling death. FOLK.

Only joking of course. The standard overall is terrible at the moment. Still now we are down to the 4 best teams we may see some fireworks at last. I think Kerry will have enough to beat Mayo but the other one is harder to call. Dublin are the best team in terms of natural ability but Tyrone are probably the best team in terms of tactical awareness. They could shut Dublin down and manage to beat them. If they do I would fancy them to win the final.

Yerra there's nathin wrong with fellas havin' an owl swipe at each other now and again. Generally if one of the coaching team starts getting too excitable they will get a ban......except if it happens to be Brian Cody who can do what he likes......kind of like Alex Ferguson in soccer a few years ago.

Poor auld Davy Fitz got 8 weeks for coming on the pitch and squaring up to a few Tipp ballixes.

Aye I think Kerry are too good for Mayo. Big Donaghy will bum that full back line into oblivion. Agree totally about the other game too, I think Dublin will win but I feel like Tyrone are the only team who could possibly beat them.

Plenty of shemozzles on the pitch but rarely any off it. Hard to beat a good 30 man shemozzle, gets the aul pulse racing.

Aye, the winner will come from Tyrone & Dubs.

Hard to pick a winner. Think this could be the Dubs biggest challenge in the last couple of years. Tyrone are good enough to take them on and won't brad pitt themselves like Mayo.

Oh and Furlong isn't really a Mexican...

He's more like Nicaraguan or something.

Connolly is back for the dubs so it will probably swing it for them. I think this Tyrone team will win an all Ireland for Mickey Harte, at some point. They have some great players attacking players: Sludden, Peter Harte, wee Mark Bradley, Mattie Donnelly etc.
