Replying To Farneyman2: "Was listening to the Monaghan GAA podcast that I do enjoy and was fascinated by the point made on the Scotstown goalkeeper situation, Cian Mohan backup to Rory Beggan played junior the last few years and has been very good for their team but due to Rory being out injured he's had to play in the senior championship, by rules that means he cannot play in this years junior championship or next years championship.
How is this fair on him at all, I'm not from Scotstown but I'd be raging for Cian Mohan who's been punished for stepping in for Rory beggan who's got injured while on county duty!" He can play for Truagh.

Money spinner for the GAA…hope they make a killing. Tickets more expensive for a friendly game than an all Ireland final….more fool them paying that watching millionaires in a glorified training session.

Mad Ted." Madness. August should be semi finals month but Croke Park has this rubbish. Playing on a pitch the size of a child's playpen. Don't ever want to hear any real GAA supporters complaining about a poor GAA game. Two junior club teams would put on a better show.

Shocked if GB has been given the exit door, he has navigated the past two seasons fairly well.

Replying To Claretandblue: "It's far from a perfect structure and that's been well commented on here but what has been very noticeable in the opening two rounds has been the intensity and championship type tempo of the games. Teams know that losing one match could have a huge effect on qualifying so there's far greater urgency in the games. Caulry vs Garrycastle on Friday night was virtually a knockout game with both sides having lost their opening match and with tough games to come. The game was played at a great level of intensity with Caulry very unlucky. In Section A a side that could reach a county final will be eliminated, three draws out of six matches played suggests teams realise the importance of not losing early on, structure likely to be tweaked again next year but doubtful if scenario of four teams qualifying out of six will be reintroduced. Teams qualifying with one win out of five games hardly what supporters wish to see." Yes the intensity of the first 2 rounds of game this year has been very high but I completely disagree that this hasn't been the case in previous years or that it has anything to do with only 3 teams getting to a quarter final. You can't tell me that in previous years any club is going out in the first round and not absolutely gunning for the win, especially in intermediate where there has been very little between the teams in the last number of years. Yes it might mean that there is even more on the line because only 3 teams go to a semi final but it will no doubt increase the number of dead rubber games and will be a failed structure.
You could argue it made the likes of Senan Baker's decision to go to the US for the summer an awful lot easier because he probably knew himself they were never going to make it out of section A.

Replying To WEXILE: "They did but couldn't see em put it up to Kilmacud Crokes or Na Fianna was my original point, I could see the Martins do it with their full roster" They didnt just put it up to na Fianna they beat them?
Last year maybe wouldve been too soon for Rathnure, but if they stay improving individually and stay in the country they could get there too.

Mayo won this year's All Ireland after 3/4 of a century and every Mayo supporter respected the rule of not going onto the pitch. Soccer enters town and it's open house. Disgusting.

Replying To Kew: "Again no real hard questions from any GAA journalists about man utd v Leeds at croke park. I didn't even know it was on until last night but it seems GAA journalists have have don't cover anything that might rock the boat mindset ? If they don't report on it it doesn't happen? The lack of AFL discussion, the lack of opening up croke park to soccer for money and finishing the season quickly. The lack of any criticism or discussion by GAA journalists is disappointing especially when the season is over now." What questions did you want them to ask? I didn't even know it was on either as I have no interest in it. I'm sure most GAA journalists are the same. Nice money for the GAA on a Wednesday evening though. If people are willing to pay that for a mickey mouse friendly, we'll gladly take it.
The GAA season isn't over. In your own county we have hundreds of club championship games this month. Beautiful weather to have them played in and some cracking football and hurling games.
