In fairness to the Dubs all through their 9 all Irelands 2011 to 2023 they never lost a game, qualifier or otherwise and never went through the back door to win Sam

No way Dublin or any other team that has lost twice should still be there.

All that awaits is humiliation. That jersey deserves better.

What's with opening the hill? It was closed for league finals? Is it just when dublin are playing it's opened automatically?

So Louth beat the Dubs for the first time in the Championship in 53 years. Fair play to them. Well done Louth.

Scoring 1-24 would win a lot of games but conceding 4 goals is criminal.
Only 16,610 turned up in Croker this afternoon.
Same hardcore fans on the Hill around me today.
But for how many more years…
Parnell Park is defo calling the DCB at this stage…!

Dublin have back-to-back championship defeats for the first time. And imo any team who loses 2 games in the Championship should be eliminated automatically anyway.

This season has panned out as many of us feared unfortunately. Hopefully it is a quick learning curve for all the newbies. If not….. :o(

Monaghan lacking any kind of quality, a poor division 4 team would beat them.

Mayo GAA Thread - 2 Like(s)
Hard to know what to make of that game. I think every team in the draw will like to draw Mayo.
I think there wasnt much difference in the second half today and the second half against Roscommon, without checking I think Mayo scored same amount in both second halves. Only difference was Monaghan not taking there chances today and Roscommon did.
So lethargic and no real plan in second half.
Full back line still very poor, defence overall is poor.

Replying To yew_tree:  "Mayo have a split personality. Excellent first half and a shambles of a second half. Win is a win though. Up Mayo !"
Gave up at least 8 legitimate goals chances.

Any decent team would have beat them out of sight.

Interesting to hear Armagh say they learned lessons from the defeats of provincial winners in the first weekend of Round 1. Flawed system.

Roscommon GAA thread - 1 Like(s)

Replying To Gaa_lover:  "Kerry 0-21 Tyrone 1-10 in the U20 All-Ireland final today. Gives some perspective on Roscommon bringing Kerry to extra-time and holding them to 0-11 in 60 minutes."
And Roscommon had a chance to win it in normal time as we were well on top in the second half.

Very strange game yesterday. Tyrone were well on top early in the final and lead by 8 points (1-7 to 0-2) after about 17 minutes and looked to be the best team. Then Kerry took complete control at midfield and kicked 19 points to Tyrones 3 points to win it by eight. They also lost their captain and corner forward Paddy Lane to injury so it was some turn around.
We will certainly see some of these young Roscommon players play at senior level in the future.

Hopefully the minors will progress next weekend.

Hard luck to the little hurlers today: a bridge too far. Congrats to Longford. But what a year the hurlers have given the county.

I was hoping for a Leitrim win to go with our win in the Rackard. Alas, that double was not to be.

But onwards and upwards for Leitrim hurlers!

Wexford Hurling Thread - 1 Like(s)

Replying To ElGranSenor:  "My father was also saying that Micheál Martin was on about some competition that was run in Glynn recently, might have been U10s, said that the KK teams ran away with it

He also said in response to someone saying we needed to drive the game through our primary schools that yes, we do need to do that but that's not going to happen without the clubs buying in

Think he said there are 112 schools in the county and only really 10 take hurling very seriously?

Am guessing he means schools associated with the following clubs: Oulart, Rathnure, Shels, Martin's, Anne's, Kilmore, Ferns, and Ballyhogue, maybe Oylegate are in there too?"
U10s and U12s at that competition with clubs from Wexford and Waterford/Kilkenny. Very strong teams from Ballygunner , Mount Sion ,Thomastown at 12s but Harriers, Martin's and Oulart were equally as strong . Glynn the host club had 2 teams and not overly strong that age anyway.
Also I have been told Blackwater and Rathnure are the two best 12s teams in Wexford and neither were there.
As for the 10s Ballyhale were the best there but told none of the best U10 teams in Wexford at it so again no point in worrying about results at an U10 competition. I would not overly worry about our 10s and 12s to be honest. Of course we can and need to do better/more at those age groups but we need to do more at 16s onwards.

Not starting the Croke Park argument but a nearly empty stadium can't help these Dublin players. Wouldn't there be more atmosphere and life to a 3/4 to full Parnell Park.

They've already sold Hill tickets so it will be open irrespective of crowd size. Heavy shower just there that's wasn't forecast so hopefully it stays dry for the game
