RIP to young Odhrán Mc Girr who sadly passed away today. Led Tyrone out onto the field to play Offaly just 3 short weeks ago. Condolences to his family.

Replying To fathermurphy:  "Wasn't much to talk about yesterday, kildare stood back, got a taste and looked at us, 4 weeks time on a tight pitch in Newbridge we won't know what hit us with the intensity, this game will destine our championship, im really worried over yesterday's match, Wexford will be hot favourites now, Kildares aim is to stay up and are going to target wexford and offaly, Kildares Dublin game will come too soon after the wexford game .Kildare strongly believe they still can beat us, watch out Wexford"
So much positivity....

A 21-point beating will do wonders for Kildare's confidence

Replying To Dheen:  "Some win for St Mary's 2nd year's over CBS Kilkenny in the Leinster A quarter final. 2-24-0-13, that's a big win. They face Good Counsel in the semi final next."
Excellent coaching setup in the CBS by the looks of the results the are consistently getting

Replying To StockholmGael:  "We got opened like a tin of beans in the Hyde last week. The likes of Kerry who have the boys to kick fast ball into the forward line must be licking their lips at that exposure. Not sure if that's something that's fixable by the business end of the championship. Now, we can blame injuries, the weather or the old 'maybe the trained hard before the game' that often gets rolled out after a loss, but if that doesn't get rectified, we won't be bringing Sam through Pettigo this year either."
The League form, wherther it's 6 points after 3 matches or a loss in Hyde Park has no bearing in the Championship.
Jim used the League to add a few players to the panel and try a few players in different positions.

Brilliant to see John daly back in the match day squad. Best number 6 and passer of the ball in the country. I expect the inside forwards to have a field day if he gets playing.

Replying To Galwayman67420:  "Always the way with the county, arrangements are always made to suit the north board. No consideration for the city/west at all. They'll put a toll on the quincentennial bridge yet."
Agreed, even for a young lad from say Clifden that makes a panel, training in the likes Glenamaddy (which seems to be head of operations these days) places an awful strain on parents and players.

Really needs to be looked at in my opinion.

Replying To sponger:  "Some heavy hitters in Division 2 next year......"
There are, but thats the level where we should be at and always were. I heard Boscos interview earlier and that's where the lads agree the want to be. He has a good blend of hurlers experienced and young and maybe some others will put their hands up in the coming county championships.
Let's hope the footballers can do us proud tomorrow and make it a double celebration. They will need to hit the boards running. No doubt Longford will tear into them as we seem to be capable of being caught flat footed particularly when playing away. We don't need to be chasing a 6 or 8 point lead

Replying To Seanfan:  "Time for the UN to disband?
Like it's predecessor the League of Nations it proved powerless when the big bullies started wars."
No, but the world needs a mechanism to overcome the veto power of the permanent members of the UN Security Council, as that is ultimately what renders the UN powerless in matters of war.

And if those members refuse, then perhaps the UN should discard those permanent members and remove their influence from it completely and have the UN represent the rest of the world without Veto. Leave the US, UK, France, Russia and China on the outside.

Replying To Zucker:  "Was in aughawillan for the Fenagh game. Fenagh just about scraped a win but it was a dreadful game. Looks like the fena conveyer belt of talent is drying up"
It would hardly be anything to do with them having 7 regular starters on county duty….
It was certainly a low-scoring affair.

If we are winning games at a canter, then we'd be peaking too early and what are we doing that for.i guess there is no winning is there.

kerry didn't beat us last year with a kicking game they best us way a running game.the kerry analysts put out the notion they are the gods of beautiful football via the media but at end of day they do whatever it takes to win. Watch the game back and see how many times they kick ball into full forward line. It will surprise you.

Well done to the senior hurlers on promotion. Back in division 2 where we should be. Will be some nice games there next year and aim will be to stay there. Onto the CR now. Hard luck to the minor hurlers, 7 points up against Antrim in the first half is no easy feat. We just let the head down after the red card. Some nice forwards there, just need more of them!

Replying To legendzxix:  "Wexford remain in 1B and Westmeath remain in D2. Not where both want to be for their respective ambitions.
Kildare staying in 1B and Kerry earning promotion to 1B have had a very good league."
Its our own fault we are in 1b. We need to do better next year. No complaints.

Replying To S1234:  "That's a ridiculous comment. Does not smack of fear. We have to rest guys. We don't want a league final ."
Think i might have hit a little nerve. It was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment about the fear,as i doubt if Andy waa thinking that way. But i would say with certainty that its the way some supporters are thinking.
