Will GT see Easter?

There are a few betting people on here ... so the big question is - will GT see Easter?

Rumours of her demise have been greatly exacerbated in the past - and she has seen many false dawns. Memorably when the wrath of the Down college scene came crashing down on Swinny's (apparently) all too critical account of some adolescent high jinks. Visitations multiplied quicker than if there had been an apparition. They all came to worship give out *****! For a while it looked like the tired status quo of the Ulster domination of know-it-all Tyrone posters would be overhauled - but as happened on many previous occasions they disappeared as quickly as their vitriol and spittle dried on their keyboards. And the Tyrone domination continues.... ad nauseum ...

Somewhat strangely the most visitors here happened on the evening of the tragic news of the murder of Michaela Harte RIP. There were 69 people on that evening. I suppose this shows that the site does crop up if you search with key GAA words. Unfortunately the guests did not translate to participating members.

The main problem however remains the lack of posting. There seems to be more visitors and guests here than the Irish tourist industry enjoys (ok thats no big achievement) but rarely do people interact. Its like going to the panto and not shouting 'behind you' or 'oh no you don't!' People seem to be scared to post here - or maybe they just can't be bothered! Perhaps there is a hidden fee of €3 per post?? If so I am fooked!!

Whatever about quantity I have to say the quality here is unparalleled. Never before have so few professed to know so much and yet know so little! Nah - there are some serious posters on here. Sometimes it feels like Trinity College has found GAA and there is a secret society here who cannot talk about GAA in college environs so they do so here.

Then there are the older posters who are lucky enough to have wifi in their nursing homes. It is delightful to read of days when everything was better, faster and bigger - except the National debt. We also have some young 'uns here and they are very enthusiastic - and some of them can type non text speak. There is a good mix of left-right ideology (bores the **** out of ya mostly - esp when the thread goes to 3 pages ) and the interpretation of morals etc is a joy to behold at times! GT certainly has its moments!

But we are in the throes of the League here now - lots of football and hurling - and still the posts are as rare as JS buying a round.

In truth GT is a bit like a patient on a life support machine. Do you switch it off or do you think that there are the odd vital signs there and so let it limp on in the hope of a full recovery. Or is it like your blind, deaf 17 year old Jack Russell that goes around the back yard in circles. You tell yourself the poor mutt is not in pain but deep down you know what you should do ...

Hard one to call ....

Is this serious? Are things that bad? GT should make Easter. Its the only place with intelligent people posting and where you can have a proper discussion unlike another Gaa forum where you can't have a serious argument or debate. GT to stay!

As I have said previously, I shall keep posting until such a day comes that this site no longer exists. So at least that's one user that will always be here.

Beginning of U21 Championship, New Government, League Finals and Relegation, Club Finals, Champions League finals, Championship fever.. Lots to talk about lads, Keep the Faith!!

I will post the odd dementia ramble to keep it going. Not enough Kerry posters though. Triona where art thou with the Championship around the corner?

Have to agree, like any organisation we have our quiet period but hey its only just begun!

Bring back the "Beef to Libya" scheme....

Inflammatory posters such as Puke will have to be reined in if the forum is to survive....

Its a good job AIB were bailed out on that one - god knows how they would have ended up otherwise.

Maybe you should phone the guards and report triona missing-Losing to the Dubs again might have tipped him over the edge..

i am quite willing to post more frequently on here but for some reason the juvenile clique on here seems to have an awful habit of trying to bully me out of posting and shouts me down when my opinion is different to theirs, the lent thread is a perfect example of this

Hardy hoors all right. You're the stamp of your great grandfather in all fairness.

Bad form you throwing up a picture of him on a monday morning after a late one the night before after playing a few quick hands of 45 down the Borry Log...He was the longest man on the ESB pension til he went to his eternal rest in the late 1990's aged 94

Jaysus he got a good oul' rattle out of it in fairness, the light of heaven to him. It proves the point that a bit of hard work never done anyone any harm.
You, on the other hand, will be lucky to see 44, given your penchant for backing horses, chasing skirt and scoffing "handy ones"....

Would you in all honesty oppose Binocular, currently 11/4. A source tells me that Mullins has been working the living scheit out of the Fly during the past days.

i posted this on another forum...

My thoughts on the Champion Hurdle would be that it is a fairly open renewal and the betting illustrates this....If they pace is quick then it will play into Binocular's hands as he is as fluent a hurdler as you will see and has a high crusing speed, but it is hard to see where the pace is going to come from, Overturn possibly but I can't see him going off like Celestial Halo did last year....The slower the pace then the more you would have to feel it will play into Menorah's hands as his win before Christmas over C&D showed.....

Can't have HF, just too many negatives for my liking, he may well be a machine but the fact is that Luska Lad got withing 2 lengths of him when at christmas can't be overstated, I don't think Luska Lad would have gotten within 10 lengths of Menorah in the International last december

I am very sweet on Peddlers Cross and he is a super super horse but for me he is a horse that wants a further trip and would have questions about the fluency of his jumping as you can't afford any mistakes next Tuesday....

There are some very good horses in the race, i would be far more confident about Dunguib if they has an experienced jockey on him and if there were less doubts about his jumping while Alan King rates Mille Chief as a better horse than Katchit who won the race back in 2008 and wouldn't be surprised if either was there with every chance jumping the second last....


If Binocular is somehere close to the same shape he was in this time last year he will win, just has it all, if he isn't right then Menorah is best placed to capitalise

Top summarisation Pukey, I'm on a weeks break from work with only agri-matters to attend to, so I'm tipping off to Galway for a few days. Herself can do the retail therapy jaunt while I indulge in a few pints and punts. I'll kick off the week so with Binocular as planned.

Whip up a Cheltenham thread there when you get the time. This is normally Loyal's domain but it's getting on in the week and we'd better make a start on it.
