That's so straightforward.
John WaddellGUEST
19:01
It would probably better to call them great assembly places because they weren't simply frequented, I think, by the upper echelons of society, but they were places where people came together, uh, for all sorts of ritual purposes.
John WaddellGUEST
19:14
And the excavations at, uh, Navan Fort near, um, Armagh have shown that going right back into the Bronze Age, this was an important place of assembly.
John WaddellGUEST
19:23
The animal bones from some of the wooden structures there, for example, they were found when, you know, careful analysis was done to be from animals that came from perhaps as far away as the west of Ireland.
John WaddellGUEST
19:35
That means that some of the animals that were eaten at Emain Macha in great feasts came from far away.
Sabella DentonNARRATOR

To render these instructions effective, the deputy summoned a convocation of the archbishops, bishops, and clergy, to meet in Dublin on the 1st of March, 1551.

Sir Anthony St.
Ritchie McMasterGUEST
16:44
But I think that at the moment we've a really vibrant club scene.
Ritchie McMasterGUEST
16:49
Like if you look at Armagh going pretty well in 1B and Stonians going pretty well in 1B and... littered throughout the All-Ireland League and even in the Junior Leagues we've teams who are going well and I think the best thing about club rugby is that you can train hard on a Tuesday train hard on a Thursday play on a Saturday and have a few beers with your mates afterwards and I think that's really important those are for me the staples of rugby so not everybody's going to be a pro rugby player you're right there's some cracking players coming through schools rugby both north and south of the border at the moment but Only a small percentage of them will move into the pro game.
Ritchie McMasterGUEST
17:29
But the thing about the club game as well that I like, you can still get opportunity that if you're a late developer, so say you don't really kick on until you're 19, 20, 21.
Ritchie McMasterGUEST
17:38
Like we look at Stuart McCluskey.

Gareth SteensonHOST
42:11
Is there more appetite or...
Gareth SteensonHOST
42:13
That's only going...
Gareth SteensonHOST
42:14
Because I came from the Royal School Armagh.
Gareth SteensonHOST
42:16
And those ideas, it used to be when we talked about coming and playing against a big, for us the big game was coming up to Belfast to play.
Elaine BradleyGUEST
13:13
So I personally need to look up and see where they came from.
Elaine BradleyGUEST
13:16
I know there's McCann's Orchard up in Armagh.
Elaine BradleyGUEST
13:19
So I do wonder if it's to do with that because we would have a lot of the Northern Collection.
Elaine BradleyGUEST
13:23
In fact, we have all the local collection here
Matthew HoustonGUEST
17:13
Where [chuckles] there, there have been debates over, over centuries, even within churches, where people from differing traditions have tried to appropriate Patrick for themselves.
Matthew HoustonGUEST
17:24
So it's really a really fascinating little bit of vitriol in 1931 in Northern Ireland where a Church of Ireland, a Church of Ireland cleric from Belfast, he, at the, at that time he was in See Patrick, ironically enough, the seat of Patrick, where he had written a little book arguing that St. Patrick was completely independent of Rome, and that as such he was the forerunner of Anglicanism in Ireland, to which the Cardinal Primate of Ireland, Archbishop of Armagh, Joseph MacRory, took great offense and argued against, argued against the Church of Ireland cleric saying that how on earth could Patrick have been a Protestant given that Protestantism hadn't existed or wasn't existing for another 1,000 years after him.
Matthew HoustonGUEST
18:09
And that is a little example of how two traditions tried to claim Patrick for themselves.
Matthew HoustonGUEST
18:17
But in doing so, both of them did some really, really bad history.
Pat SpillanePANELIST
5:07
Johnny Gould should be there.
Pat SpillanePANELIST
5:08
Armagh should be there.
Pat SpillanePANELIST
5:09
So, you know, there's a restlessness.
Pat SpillanePANELIST
5:12
Did he jump? Was he pushed? There's certainly, in a lot of counties, they look at the success of getting a good management team together.

Dick ClerkinPANELIST
17:10
And that's a difficult way to be leaving any role or even as a player that you're looking back with regret.
Dick ClerkinPANELIST
17:19
And it's unfortunate, but that's the rootless standards that are there for top-tier counties.
Dick ClerkinPANELIST
17:23
Like all the way there, if you look at the counties that won an All-Ireland during his time, Tyrone, Mayo, Armagh, they were better than them on average over his tenure, but yet they got to the summit.
Dick ClerkinPANELIST
17:36
And that's just the rootlessness of top tier sport.
Johnny McNabbGUEST
53:57
But I suppose that's a couple of bad results.
Johnny McNabbGUEST
54:01
I think maybe they drew at Armagh as well, late on as well.
Johnny McNabbGUEST
54:03
So look, it's a long season.
Johnny McNabbGUEST
54:06
That's going to be a tough league.
Peter CinnamondHOST

27:37
Now, what we've had for so many years in football is an over-tactical game, which has really brought the game down.
Brendan DevenneyGUEST
27:44
And Donegal were one of the teams to the fore, Armagh.
Brendan DevenneyGUEST
27:47
I mean...
Brendan DevenneyGUEST
27:47
Kieran McGuinney, you can see when the new rules come on after he'd won the All-Ireland, the last thing he wanted was a rule change because all sorts of teams have become very good at that defensive way of playing football and it was really about stopping teams playing and trying to break into space.
