Replying To westmeathfan25: "How are county players treated badly? Was Westmeath's spend not 1.2M on county teams in 2025?" Out of 12 games scheduled in the All Ireland U20 Championship last night, 1 game was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. It is hardly surprising to see which County could not host their game given it has the greatest lack of infrastructure of any County. The other Counties were not lucky with the weather, they simply have better facilities, better planning (a multiple venue strategy, more options to fall back on etc. ) and better relationships with Clubs (it will tell you all you need know when St Loman's League game at home tonight is played on the grass pitch). Westmeath players are not asking for much, all they want is certainty, basic organization to match their high levels of commitment like a consistent training base, pitches to train on etc. We are spending €1.2m (the cost of just competing) to run a modern Inter County set up (coaching, nutrition, analysis, travel expenses etc.) without the modern infrastructure to support it.

Galwayman creates yet another account to tell Mayo they're not up to much. Would make a good Waterford Whispers headline.

Another disappointingly poor performance from the u20's again last night. Had no interest in going forward for many parts of the game although chasing.

The North and South governments need to get together and make these matches available in the North. Only for the dodgy box we are goosed.

Replying To Leitrim4sam26: "5 point loss to Galway which looks worse then it actually was in my opinion, thought Leitrim had a really good performance and were well capable of beating Galway, they'll be disappointed not to come out with a result, just wasted a few too many chances which could've won the game. Thought Leitrim set up well and were very solid around the middle and at the back" Always hard to beat one of the big two in Connacht thanks so much for agreeing. We need to focus on beating the other two please and this team is more than capable. Please get out and support them thank you everyone.

How Do We Take Hurling On From Here - 1 Like(s)
On scoring difference in Munster following the scenario of Kerry gaining promotion:
1. Take scoring difference out of the equation. 2 teams level on points based on head to head. More than 2 teams level on points based on mini table between those teams.
2. As Kerry realistically would be in Munster for one year - Kerry could be given all their games at home as something of a festival of hurling for the year. The other 5 and keep their 2 home and away games against each other.

Replying To Tadhg2020: "Its already head to head if two teams level. Score difference is the next default.
On Kerry having home venue, I personally wouldnt have a problem with that but I think the County Boards or the 5 counties would. There is setting precedent, sponsors and revenue to consider unfortunately.
Even if score difference isnt an issue ( and I fully believe that it will. To use any other formula is presumptuous that the other counties are thinking of kerry and not their own iterest). There will still be hammering regularly. Players getting chances will look to maximise them. Cork didnt need to hammer Offaly by 6 36 to 1 20 but they did anyway. They will put more up against kerry and kerry wont get near 1 20 unfortunately. Thats just the reality." If Kerry get good enough to win the Joe Mac they will have reached the same standard as other Joe Mac winners, who have shown in Leinster when they target certain games they can get quite close to Liam McCarthy counties on occasion.
In 2022 Westmeath targeted us and got a draw. They werent any further behind us than Clare were in the AIQF that year at the hour mark, and the team we had on the pitch in Mullingar was stronger than the team we had on the pitch in Semple Stadium.
2 years ago in 2024 Carlow drew with Kilkenny.
Antrim beat us that year, and in 2024 we were in pretty good form, we beat Galway comfortably, and were robbed in Nowlan Park. Kilkenny ran Clare to 2 points in the AISF. Clare went on to win the AI.
Last year Dublin beat Offaly, who had just come up out of the Joe Mac, by only 1 point more than they beat Limerick by. You drew the Munster final in normal and extra time so were one of the strongest teams in Munster last year.
If Kerry do win the Joe Mac Id say they will target whoever is weakest of the Munster counties, maybe the weakest 2. They wont get hammered in every game. They will have to have a pretty decent team to win the Joe Mac in the 1st place. And a team might have an off day, or get complacent.

Replying To westmeathfan25: "Confused as to how the pitch last night not being playable in return means "County Players are treated so badly in this county"
You said it yourself - coaching, nutrition, analysis, travel expenses - would you prefer if they did not spend that 1.2M on those things and instead put it towards the cost of building a COE? Or is your expectation that Westmeath should continue spending millions on the "badly treated players" and find another couple million somewhere to build a COE, because let's be honest, the previous fundraising that was meant to raise €1M didn't happen, so what happens next? And it can't be a continuous blame on the County Board - they can put in all the effort to get fundraising events up and running, but if people aren't willing to contribute then what happens - will you continue to solely blame them?" There is such nonsense behind the scenes, and the players and management teams aren't been treated well or fairly at all. This forum probably wouldn't post the list of things we could all spill about whats going on.

Why do a lot of our mainstream [RTE/ Virgin] media refer to the Ireland football team as The Republic of Ireland ? Surely just Ireland is enough .You could understand media outside the country doing this but the Irish media. I always find it so cringey. In any other context [political , economic etc] The Republic of Ireland is rarely use to describe the country. Then there is the odd time just The Republic is used. Even more cringey. So is it asking too much for these reporters to drop [The Republic] out of Ireland ?
