"Are you speaking Spanish?"

Only thing is, Donegal folk are harder to understand than this lot in the video.

 

Cork is the only accent I can't really understand that's mainly because anytime I've talked to someone from there I'm always drunk and in a place where the music is pumping ha

 

Ulster Championship.

Donegal/Tyrone v Armagh.

 

Still confident to win it?

 

Dublin vs Kildare in the semi then meath in the final. lenister championship is always the same ulster is probably the only one worth watching

 

I am now.

Yep.

 

Ulster draw always seems very lopsided. Donegal, Tyrone, Derry and Armagh all in the one side. Four teams that have won the all Ireland in the last 25 years vying for a spot in the Ulster final. No other province can have a clash of winners from this time period before the final.
Then they'll have you believe there's no football in Ulster when in reality our championship is really competitive championship.

 

It's the only competitive championship tbf there's more teams in it who are capable of winning it then rest of the other championships combined cork dublin kerry and mayo probably more then double everybody else's titles combined

 

Been watching a few videos of this on Youtube, looks like a great sport.

Who is the most skilled player in terms of running with the ball on the ground (like in football), and, if they played football do you think they'd be good enough for a decent team?

 

Most of the Irish players would have played Gaelic football. Neil Lennon played U18 for Armagh. Shamie Coleman has said his first love is Gaelic Football.

 

Jack McCaffrey is the fastest I've seen if there was a messi it would be colin cooper he's brilliant steven cluxton would be Neuar his kicking game is hugely important Kevin McManaman would be paddy mccourt because he doesnt look like he could last 5 minutes but always comes off the bench for a wondergoal and adian O'Shea would be a good yaya toure

 

Kevin moron won an all-Ireland and the fa cup and Shane long played minor hurling

 

Durkan would be a better goalie than Cluxton in my opinion. I think picking a Messi type player from Gaelic football would be difficult. Peter Canavan ex Tyrone, Mattie Ford ex Wexford and Declan Browne ex Tipperary for me would be head and shoulders above anyone playing at the moment.

 

Maybe I do think Cluxton is overrated at saving the ball but it's his kicking ability and the fact he's a complete nutjob on the pitch is why he's more like Neuar then Durkan

 

Martin O Neill played collages football for St. Malachy,s but managed to win a European cup winners medal possibly 2 although I know he only played in 1 final

 

did Martin's brother win the all-Ireland?

 

For unpredictability you would be right.

 

I doubt it unless it was with a county outside of Ulster. Maybe underage.

 

I just remember listing to a talk by him and I was sure he said it I'm probably wrong as usual haha

I was brought into a very strong GAA background, where soccer was frowned upon. It was our definition of Irishness. We paraded this GAA almost like a banner. In my particular life, I’m full of anomalies, ironies, paradoxes and downright contradictions to be perfectly honest. I think I might have got all of those off my father.
It was interesting because he was a founding member of the club in Kilrea, Co Derry, where I was born and brought up. And yet he was a barber and felt absolutely no discernment about parading a wonderful picture of the Manchester United football team in his shop.
It was the Busby Babes just before the air crash in 1958. I’m sure that there were one or two of his fellow Catholics that may have thought that this could be displeasing. My father may have had an ulterior motive for it as most of his customers were Protestants.
But I believe that he had a greater tolerance of things and a great common sense. Unfortunately he didn’t pass it on. I felt that this tolerance of the other side of the community did stand me in good stead throughout the rest of my career.
I loved Gaelic football. My older brothers ended up playing for County Derry. I spent a lot of time with my father going to the matches to support them.
