Dublin V Kerry - 6 Like(s)
Replying To hamsterdean: "I expect Kerry to win by 7-8. Peter Keane has banned players drinking since mid december. Pat spillane said he met a kerry player who wasnt allowed to drink as training the next year. PK seem to be micro managing. wouldn't let Jack Barry and Diramuid Connors celebrate winning to a junior title and made them attend a gym seesion the follwing morning. Kerry great odds at 13/8" that is ridiculous, it would put you off them with manager like that. Kind of hope Dublin beat them just cause of that

Replying To cacsmckilly: "Mayo haven't a prayer. On Saturday they are facing the reason why they haven't won an All Ireland in last 5 years. Its called Dublin and its a much faster, smarter, skilful animal than last time they met. Problem with Mayo theyre still playing same aul heads that played against Bernard Brogan, Alan Brogan, O'Gara and other past greats. Its out to pasture for Mayo after this one, brolly will be redeemed. The end is near." Bit like Tyrone playing the same aul way and losing..
Kerry the only chance of stopping the 5 in a row

Galway V Mayo - 5 Like(s)
Great result in the end, it was like 2 different games the way the halfs went, Mayo scored alot more when they were on top than Glaway did when they were on top.
Mayo were very slow and lethargic in the first half, playing a sweeper that wasnt working and support play going forward wasnt there. Galway had a good defensive shape and had good numbers forward when attacking and were making inroads.
Mayo made changes, 2 McLoughlins made big difference and man for man at the back and changed the match ups and more importantly Aidan O Shea into full forward where he is most dangerous and not slowing things down around the middle and Galway lads easily getting around him, he got in the way to allow Shane Walsh setup the second goal.
Ruane is powerful runner, Galway could not handle him in the second half, Galway bunched the middle third and left to much space in there defense for Mayo to run into, and when Galway had numbers back were not effective, Ruanes goal and a point Tommy Conroy got really showed this up, they both running past 4 or 5 Galway lads with no stopping them or getting a hit on them.
From what I saw of the Shane Walsh incident, he came across O Hora to stop his run and as O hora was falling, he grabbed Walsh and made sure he fell with him, so either it was the way O Hora grabbed him or the way Walsh fell on the shoulder is what caused the damage..if Joyce wants to complain about it let him off, but there was not much to be whinging about there.
People complaining about Mayo starting the scuffle in the Tunnel, its not even worth talking about, but you can see from the video it was Heaney starting it and then its Heaney and Mullkerrins shoving O Shea.. so again more whinging from certain Galway fans over nothing.
I'm waiting (ill be waiting a long time I know) for the comments from Galway people condemning there own support for cheering and celebrating the Mayo wides and whistling and roaring at Mayo free takers since it seems to bother them so much when they accuse Mayo fans of doing it..when Mayo kicked wides in the first half they were getting a bigger roar from Galway fans than when a Galway lad scored..

Move To National Forum Only Model - 5 Like(s)
awful idea, national forum is a waste of time, its full of idiot accounts.
The county forum were the only worthwhile forums, esp now when its just club football that on and where there was no Sh**e talk like on national forum.
Why is there only a Cavan and Meath forum still going?

Dubs V Mayo - 4 Like(s)
Great evening for Mayo, could be said it was Mayo worst performance against Dublin but its the one that finally beat them.
Some great performances by Mayo lads, Hennelly 3 points, Keegan, O Hora, Durcan, O Donoghue really stood up. Conroy got going eventually. For once the Mayo subs made a big difference, thought Hession made huge impact brought more directness to the attacks and was involved in alot. Fair play to Horan for taking off O Shea, things didnt go right for him and his head was gone so had to come off.
Referee was terrible.
Great to be the team that finally beat the Dubs after all these years. They are not the team they were and they don't have the quality of subs they used to, but what a run they had and dont think there fans will have any complaints, only joy and respect for them.

Kilkenny and Tipp Give Us A Traditional All Ireland Hurling Final - 4 Like(s)
Cody going on about the length of time it took the ref to show the red as a reason why it shouldnt have been a red..I think it took him that long as he was looking for a way out of showing the red.
Hurling is always good for hard hits and everyone getting on with it and not complaining but for the Killkenny lads to be defending Hogan is embarssing, just accept it was a stupid thing to do and move on, theres nothing controversial about it

Congrats to Cavan fully deserved win.
Disappointed with the performance and result but not to surprised with this current Mayo team/setup.
McStay was fortunate to stay on this year, and he had all focus on winning Connacht this year and failed, you could see in interviews after he was deflated and I could tell the rest of year was going to be a struggle.
Mayo are probably the worst coached team out of all division 1 teams anyways and maybe only Roscommon are worse in division 2.
While i think the management team have been extremely poor and they do need to go, the players need to take some of the blame too, there individual performances have been poor standard, and lack real fight and courage.
What ever happens in the next 2 games doesn't really matter as the year is finished and will only prolong the inevitable

Yeah, but what's life about?" he asks in reply. "Life is about finding a purpose. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what medals I have or what All Stars or accolades I picked up along the way. Like, no one cares about that. They care about how you make them feel, what you've given back to people. Yes, that injury was really tough but I think meaning and purpose above and beyond football have increased because of it.
"In some ways, I'm probably a happier, more content person after the injury. In playing those five appearances for Mayo and in playing and training for the club and county, I think I enjoyed football as much as ever. Was I getting the same experience as 2017? Maybe not. But I found absolutely amazing gratitude in being able to play.
"Life isn't any one thing. My whole career wasn't any one thing. It wasn't any one game or any one achievement. Happiness isn't found in winning an All-Ireland or winning All Stars or playing in these big games. Happiness in sport and in life is found in the daily routines of everything we do. It took me a long time to realise that."

Replying To Dubh_linn: "I'd imagine David Hickey probably knows more about what has gone on behind the scenes with Dublin than a lot of people.
He's probably sick to the back teeth listening to all the begrudgery and slight that is spoken about Dublins achievements when he knows how hard the guys in that panel have had to work for their achievements.
If David Hickey is bitter then he's got plenty of company on platforms like this one.
Hickey has done a lot of good for a lot of people so there's certainly a lot more to him than what you can learn from a newspaper interview." Well he did no favours for himself with that interview..

Football Championship 2026 - 3 Like(s)
When they show the penalty incident from the view the ref had, I can see why the ref gave it, looked like a shoulder to the head, theatrics from Joe O Connor didnt help. But from other angles it should not have been a penalty, closer to a free a out for charging than a penalty.
The square ball was a terrible miss by the umpires.
Still no picture that actually shows the ball over the line, people just assuming it was over and want the umpires to do the same.
Niall Scully could easily got a red, he raised his hands to two Kerry players, dont know how it wasnt spotted, well actually I do with the poor day the umpires had. When they had to go to hawkeye for a ball clipping the post and going wide it was not a good start.

Anyone saying they see nothing wrong with the John Small hit, must be just stirring for a reaction, to see replays and still be saying nothing wrong with it then ye havent a clue and id like to see ye take a hit like that and say it was fair afterwards.
In normal time I can see why the ref let it go because it was a tough call in real time but not to stop play was ridiculous decision, a player knocked out and everyone could see he was in trouble the way he landed but for the officials to play on was awful.

Thank god the day is here, so much talk and over thinking about this game, its great to have had it to look forward too but nothing more can be said about it..
Mayo will change defensive setup or revert to what they had against Roscommon, K Mcloughlin and D. O Connor playing kind of sweeper roles.
Dont see how Mayo can keep Con and Fenton quiet, and keep them quiet while not leaving space for one of the others to cause damage.
Mayo will need good ball into O Shea to cause trouble, Cillian is going well think he will get a goal today..Tommy Conroy hopefully will go well great talent.
Im afraid for mayo kickouts, cant see how they will sort that out.
Mayo to win by 2 and K Mcloughlin man of the match
