Picture the scene, it’s half time in the All-Ireland Final and Sean McGinley comes on the TV to talk about Ireland, Donegal and Fruit of the Loom. Anyone with me?

Proof That, Yes, The Rubber Bandits Were F’n And Blindin’ Upon Croke Park’s Sacred Surface
There’s a few videos featuring rather crap audio of the Rubber Bandits at Croke Park on Saturday night, but as far as we’re concerned, this 50 second clip provides definitive proof that the Rubber Bandits cursed their way through that song of theirs about the horse with all the curse in it. Davy Fitz would be proud. I think the Irish public vetoed the right to complain about the music at Croke Park the moment it allowed the likes of Westlife and Take That to sully the holy temple of GAA. Michael Hogan has already had a few spins in the grave at this stage. I think he’d just be confused who Billie Piper is.
Will Tom Brady “move” to Kildare?
The greatest quarter back in the game is at a crossroads in his life. Last night’s Super Bowl defeat will have undoubtedly left the Patriots man devastated. But all is not lost dear Tom. Brady’s ancestry brings us back to the Ireland of the mid 1800s, when starving Cavan man left his humble abode to go in search of a new life. Yes indeed, Tom Sr. Sr. Sr. was one of the thousands who made the voyage across the Atlantic, waving goodbye to their love ones, and their rotten potatoes. Upon reaching the promised land, our protagonist met with a humble girl from Cork, and a eternal romance was born.
Flash forward to 2012 and their great grandson is Cavan’s greatest claim to fame across the water (well apart from General Philip Sheridan, but we won’t get into that). So the question on everyone’s lips now; will Tom follow in the footsteps of another of the Breffni County’s present day sportsmen?
Tom, the call is from McGeeney, do you accept the charge?
GAA Make Incredible Rubber Bandits Overstatement
The Rubber Bandits are about to play on their biggest stage yet: Croke Park. Despite the cold, one of them seems to be in shorts! #gaa

Seriously? The lads played bigger stages than that at Limerick train station.
Peter Harte takes one in the head for Tyrone
Tyrone have beaten Kildare 2-11 to 0-12 in the first match of the National Football League 2012. After trailing by 3 points at half time, the Ulstermen’s second half resurgence was typified by Peter Harte’s willingness to put his head on the line when scoring his side’s second goal.
Oisin McConville looks a lot like Andres Villas-Boas
The resemblance is uncanny.
Seanie Johnston Inching Closer To Freedom
Looks like Cavan Gaels couldn’t be bothered dragging this out any longer. All Johnston has to do is clear CCCC, and suddenly Kildare have a scoring forward.
It is the policy of Cavan Gaels GAA club not to stand in the way of transfer requests from any of our players.

Hurling Live At The SuperBowl
“We’re a drinking team with a hurling problem” is what the pigskin lovers are hearing..
When Sam met Sean.
Carlow are now All-Ireland champions.
Derrytresk Have Eight Men Suspended For Final And Fined €5000 For Melee
The power of Liveline has been proven again. The GAA has come down hard on the Tyrone club for its role in the donnybrook Sunday week in Portlaoise. They should have just booted them out of the cup. It’s hard to see how they can win minus 8 members of their squad. Dromid have apparently had three men suspended.
Here’s how the Team Talk website reported on the story tonight.
