Replying To Armchairreporter: "History shows there's not too many from any club that are good enough to make an impact at the business end of the championship. 4 All Irelands and straight through to an All Ireland semi final every year until 97. Antrim every 3rd year in semi final. Hype every year around the hurling team. Can u blame Loughrea players opting out. Just finished with the club and straight into county. Great to see them living their lives." They weren't ever getting Antrim in a semifinal, let alone getting the fixture every third year, as you've waffled here.

Replying To goreyll: "One takeaway from me is our passing needs to be more accurate, to the hand. No excuses especially short passes. Most times the player receiving had to control with the hurl first." He doesn't have to control it with his hurl first. Watch back again. Hes just in the habit of doing it because players arent told that that is wrong all the way up. Young lads as their stick work gets better think that its cool to catch the ball that way, when in fact it just slows their game down. Bad coaches not correcting them then doesn't help.

Replying To S1234: "Should you not be worrying about weather Leitrim can even field a team this year for championship? Instead of making ridiculous statements as per usual..." Is it weather or whether you mean?? Thanks so much for this clarification forthcoming,

Replying To Fionn: "Good to see that Sean McMahon's ludicrous red card v Mayo has been overturned and he is free to play v Monaghan at the weekend. It should never have been a red card in the first place.
Massive game for the Dubs - a must win tbh, if Ger wants to avoid relegation to Div 2.
With Ger experimenting with new players, it is difficult to see us getting many wins in this league campaign.
A nice double header in prospect in HQ though." It was never a sending off.It was a push and O Donoghue made a meal of it.
Its proper oder Sean was cleared.
Ger and the lads should pick up two points the weekend and hopefully kickstart the season.Monaghan are struggling badly and I seen in the bookies Dubs are 1/8 on to win.
Im hoping for at least six points in league and Monaghan should be a cert.
I would be looking then at targetting the Rossies and then pick up another win along the way.I wonder is Ger going to drop a few big names like he hinted?

Yes was very low but as long as the ref hears is. No they have an agreement with Roscommon Gaels that they have the shops - when there is a big crowd its not adequate at all

I wouldn't be too hard on yourselves lads. Early in the second half you were well in it. Chin gave us a lift and we finished strong but 10 points was very flattering to us.
Keeper was unlucky for the penalty and he made a brilliant save at the end of the first half.
Penalty decision was dodgy but for what it's worth there was a very good chance Kevin Foley was going to bury it.

Replying To twbm: "They sure aren't.. full strength team out again Down.." Its kind of the farewell tour for the old band that won the AI together. Hopefully they get at least a Munster this year. Next year there will be a few new faces Id be guessing.

Kildare went a good way to ensuring survival today.
Should beat Down and difficult to see either Antrim or Down beat anyone other than each other.
Went from scoring 2 from play last week to 3 - 15! Great potential to be real force over next while.

Replying To goreyll: "I'm not sure which player you're thinking of but I saw it across the field. I thought some of Fanning's short passes to the full back line were poor. Totally agree it slows down the game and allows the opposition to circle, needs to be worked on in my opinion" Loads of our Senior lads. And underage lads. Not anyone in particular. Even some of our most experienced lads do it.

Indeed, great win for the "little" hurlers. "Little" used as a term of endearment, not one of derision, as a certain few posters on here seem to think.
Now that I have brought the hurlers of Leitrim into the conversation on this thread, I hope that posters like yourself will continue to comment on them in a favorable light.
It is not an easy task to travel overseas away from home to earn two points. Let's see now if the much talked about county footballers are up to a similar task next weekend. Wishing them the best.

Replying To goreyll: "Game in Newbridge is the Leinster championship opener, our league game against Kildare is in Wexford park" Ah that's right. Makes a bit more sense so. I wasn't thinking that far ahead yet.
Right now we've no Idea where anyone will be at come championship.

Replying To Scenicparish: "100% Kick outs are everything in the modern game. Kerry loaded midfield and destroyed us there and that set the tone for the match." Gavin white from wing back destroyed us. The first ball he got he ran at our defence and he continued doing it. It was a weakness that kerry seen in our defence and you must gave jack o connor credit for his tactics on the day..

Replying To omahant: "OK, that's a 'slight' improvement.
I'd rather something refreshing, more radical - like the league schedule replaced with all 'inter-Prov' ties (M5 v L6), so that in addition to the Prov Championships, we'd have an overall 11-team, 10-match round robin.
Highest 10-match teams in the table (6 or less) and two Prov Champs (no change, finals with top 2s from 4 or 5 group game subset only) advance to the AIC, with byes to table toppers rather than Prov Champs." 30k plus in PuC for a league game. 9k in the Gaelic Grounds Limerick for a league game. Between the split season and eagerness by supporters to see how their counties are progressing ahead of a tough Munster hurling championship - seems little grounds for sweeping changes.

They definitely won't be missed from the Galway set up, only one decent Loughrea player to play for Galway Senior hurlers in the last 60yrs J Coen....and his family stock are Mullagh/Glenamaddy!

I said on here before a total revamp was needed after the last World Cup and Farrell should have walked as well. Spent 2 years picking the same players who are now well past their peak. Mind boggling.

Three point win for Pres Athenry over Raphaels in schools final. Late goal from Ciaran Leen put the game away for the Pres having been behind for three quarters of the match. Leen finished with 1-13 and he probably could have scored 1-20 by himself if not for a lot of wides that he would usually score with his eyes closed. He's very strong at schools level as you would expect but Athenry are a bit too reliant on him this year. Ronan Cahalan and Michael Lewis very good for the Pres. Raphael's were probably the better balanced team around the field and they have some nice forwards with Jack Shaughnessy, Ethan Coleman and Tadgh MacCarthaigh but they were physically second best which doesn't bode well for them with a game against St Kierans next.

Replying To supersub15: "Isn't it very noticeable with all that is going on that the Anti GAA Agenda thread has become redundant, was there ever a need for one, a bit of paranoia perhaps, maybe not, perhaps not enough thought went into it, etc., etc., etc.,
however the thread ran actively for over two years if not three, however like the thread further comments should be paused." More rubbish, Tom Smith would be proud of you.
