I'm afraid to say it but no more than a few other things that has seemed to have changed it might be a pure waste of time setting up a GAA 2016 thread for next year.
The Paddys on here seem to have more interest in them aul' American sports, well if you could call them sports and that thing where cars drive around in circles for a few hours than the football and hurling.
All-Ireland final day and dead as a fcking door nail.
Good luck and God bless lads.
Its just not as as exciting as it used to be. The 80s and the 90s really were a golden age for Hurling. Offaly won their first Ireland ever in 81,Galway their first in 56 years,Tipp came back after 17 years without even a Munster title,Clare won their first All Ireland in 81 years and Wexford their first in 28 years. Since 2001 the big three(Cork,Tipp,Kilkenny) have won 14 out of 15 championships.
Then in football we had a great era from the late 80s till till a few years ago. Meath,Cork,Down and Galway won it for for the first time in 20,17, 23 and 32 years respectively. Donegal,Derry,Armagh and Tyrone won their first All-Irelands ever. Also we had Clare,Sligo,Leitrim,Laois winning provincial championships for the first time in decades and Westmeath winning their first ever.
Now its just all to predictable.
