Replying To updafaughs: "Admin can you please start blocking the childish messages from a couple on here. It really is ruining the forum.
Can't agree about Clontibret, saw them play a distinctly average blayney outfit and they were very poor.
Both games in Group 1 will be very entertaining next week. Massive carrott for Truagh or Clontibret to make semis and avoid scotstown, in a funny way winners of Blayney v Cremartin would possibly rather finish 3rd in the group than second too." I wouldn't tend to ever agree with a Blayney man, but the amount of infantile scour bring spouted by a few recently would put you off logging in.

What Now For Merger Of GAA Camogie And LGFA - 1 Like(s)
After thinking about it again this is my observation.
All that's wrong here is an amateur game is gone so professional in all but name that it can't mind itself not to mind two other organisations.
Harry styles 2 nights in croker in August 27. It'll be bring back the trip to tipp all of this has to be paid for somehow. The whole thing needs to be pared back to its foundations which is supposed to be a game everyone can play for fun. Now you've every sort of dietician/physio and S/C involved with counties getting paid. Triple that and you won't be too long heading for the poor house.
So you can have extra concerts or charge every child €2 a training session, it has to be paid for.
There's enough coaches on social media now that you can use that for diets and training, it's not sustainable at the current rate, wether that's one association or three merged together.

What Now For Merger Of GAA Camogie And LGFA - 1 Like(s)
Replying To sligo joe: "If the volunteers in the GAA feel the association is backtracking on its democratically supported proposal to introduce amalgamation on the basis of integration and equality(changing the goalposts to federation and equity) how would a backlash from those volunteers, especially female volunteers, be seen as demeaning to anyone." There's a big difference between "backtracking" and needing more time to resolve the many complex issues involved.
And worth noting that the motion actually passed at the Congress of all three Associations in 2022 didn't specifically mention any timeframe. It was the Steering Group itself who set the 2027 target date and who announced that in 2024, despite being advised by other stakeholders that a 2027 target would be somewhat optimistic, to say the least.

Replying To giveitlong: "The volunteer element in all games remains strong when it comes to coaching club teams, and club work in general. Where it is dwindling at a high rate is on match days, big club games and all intercounty games. While there may have been a saving in terms of cash coming into the account, by going card only instead of the unregulated cash at the turnstile this saving is being eroded by the cost of providing security firms to do the work that Maor's did, and did much better. Another question that needs to be asked, is, what would need to happen in the woman's games in order for the public to be as keen to pay to see them as they are the men's? I think, and I may be miles out, but I think the rules need to exactly the same in LGFA and GAA football." Apart from Katy Taylor bandwagon hysteria girls sports are poorly attended all round.
60,000 in total at the 6 All Ireland Finals.
Was there even 10k in total at the 12 semi finals?

Westmeath Football thread - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Claretandblue: "There wasn't a whole lot wrong overall but the championship display versus Kildare in Cusack Park surely signalled the end for that management group. The first half display was shambolic and if you add in the display against Louth then it's a lot of damning evidence against the management." Yes but Kenny and the team had no access to Grass training pitches or Gyms throughout the campaign
and no support from the Co Board, very wrong then that the same Co Board deem him not good enough to
continue in role for another year, Kenny, Tosh Cleary, Gary Connaughton legends and heroes of Westmeath
