Replying To BarneyGrant: "Don't think there was any real need to send anyone off there. Was just a bit of handbags. Neither had anything to do with what kicked it off." Impossible to ascertain whether there was a need to send someone off there imo. Ben O'Connor was looking for more blood last week. Tonight, he's hopping around looking for a free for a well timed shoulder hit.

Replying To KillingFields: "as usual posts about rugby turn to nonsense about things nothing to do with the actual sport. how pathetic" Do you know what's even more pathetic? Getting exercised about the posts in a 'Non GAA' thread where literally ANY topic can be discussed, good, bad or indifferent. Post up a Rugby thread where you can discuss rugby to your hearts content, if it annoys you that much.

Replying To Claretandblue: "A brilliant occasion in Cusack Park, entertaining game, Colaiste Mhuire better team, huge physicality in middle section, Marist just couldn't win possession, James McHugh man of the match with 2-8 off limited possession, Weir, Byrne, Ormsby, Moloney and O' Brien had big influence for winners." Buckley could definitely be the starting goalkeeper in the next 2/3 years for Westmeath, another asset to that team

Some serious talent coming through in Westmeath. I thought McHugh was unbelievable. Ormsby had a massive game also. Schahill by his standards probably had a quiet first half but came more into it in the second half. I can see Colaiste Mhuire getting to the all Ireland final at a minimum. Should be interesting seeing McHugh & Scahill playing together at U20 level this season for Westmeath. Mark McHugh was also there today which was good to see!

Hurlers shouldn't be carrying handbags, it should be strictly hurleys. Flaking each other with handbags for 5 minutes is not a pretty sight.

Replying To SouthGalway: "I don't think so. I think Ireland will beat Wales, Scotland, and Italy. I can't see them beating England though." If they beat Italy they probably get RTÉ sports team of year :-) Unless the hockey team or showjumpers come 5th in something...

Replying To TanCanRan: "Ah only one team ever going to win after time. Clear gulf in class. I told you in advance that Loughrea lacked an elite forward and that's exactly what came to pass. They've a lot of really good club forwards but no one who will make it at senior intercounty." He's like a cheerleader Bally gunner had them at arms length
Burns opting out but wouldn't be in best 26
Hoping tiernan Killeen steps up this year had high hopes for him but he's not pushed on in last 2 years
It's strange they are best club at moment but don't think a loughrea player makes best 15 in Galway.
It's probably what stopping them getting over line in all Ireland they have a lot of v good players but as someone said lacking a Conor Cooney Pauric Mahony type inter county forward

Definitely agree with that I can't pick one Loughrea hurler who you could honestly say is good enough to make a impact at Senior intercounty

Replying To katser: "Definitely agree with that I can't pick one Loughrea hurler who you could honestly say is good enough to make a impact at Senior intercounty" 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.

Replying To KillingFields: "Once again you.miss the point as for sugfesting set up another thread. What would be point of that?" Refute the posts if it exercises you that much. If you want to have nice conversations where everyone agrees with each other maybe you should join an echo chamber somewhere.

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.

Swiss Model For GAA? - 1 Like(s)
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.
