Tailteann Cup 2026 - 3 Like(s)
Fair play to Wicklow, lots didn't go right for them in the first half but they kept plugging away.
Can we expect an apology from every single pundit in Ireland who told us after the Donegal-Down game that this year's Tailteann Cup was a waste of time and Down were robbed of their rightful place in the SFC by an unjust competition format?
Just the pundits now, I didn't hear much complaining from Down themselves.

Replying To Seniorleague: "Thats great and long may it continue but dont assume a fruitful season will generate a long term culture change. These things are quickly forgotten once ended.
We made that mistake in galway 98 to 01 but when that team faded away so did alot of the enthusiasm.
The real promotional stuff is done behind the scenes by volunteers who are largely ignored for their efforts." No lad its different here in louth now soccer is taking a back foot soccer was number one here in louthfor years with the two town teams not any more out of dundalk and drogheda there are 5 starters tommorrow the rest are country teams if louth get the big town young lads playin will make sum different an lu abu

Best of luck to our Neighbours . Learning towards a four point win . Think the experience of the lads who played in the last all Ireland final is going to show. People can say what they want but you don't get here by being a bad team. Crazy talk from
Brady taking about losing finals to win won. I'd be more in the Gavin camp. One game at a time
And then target the other teams weaknesses which every team has if you get to a final.

After all the hype, what an absolute anti climax. Mayo brilliant of course but theyve not come up against much. Almost a hindrance going into the final.

I'm going to join that Wicklow poster who is thinking of suing the county board. My ould heart is the only good bit of me left, but I'm not too sure after this afternoon. What a performance. As I've said on here many times, I could write a book on Wicklow near misses and shoulda, woulda, coulda, but this team has something the others lacked. Focus and self belief. Plus there are no big egos. I to 36 are prepared to play their part Don't want to hear another word about Oisin moving on either. We have a run at the All Ireland proper next year and at long last, we are building a team that no other county will take for granted. Can't say any more really, other than a big thank you to all concerned.

Oh my God, what a wonderful day for Wicklow football. I'm delighted for all our supporters who've continued to support our footballers when it was easier to walk away. I'm delighted for the players and management and I think it is fitting that Dean Healy won man of the match today and walked up the steps of the Hogan stand to accept the Tailteann cup on behalf of this Wicklow squad - what a leader and a footballer.
The contrast between the team in the second half compared to the first half was unbelievable. They stood back in the first half and let Down play all the football. I don't know what Oisin said to them at half-time but they were like men possessed in the second half and when they got the momentum, they punished Down severely. Freethinker alluded to previous Wicklow teams in his post; these teams probably had more talented players individually but this squad of players have a spirit and a resilience that is priceless in any team. Not only that but they are very talented footballers. Some pundits seem to think we don't have footballers in Wicklow; hopefully today sent out a message that we have footballers who can compete with a lot of other counties in Ireland. Roll on 2027.
P.S. I hope this ends the nonsense about division four teams needing to compete in a third tier competition. Today should end such talk by people who don't bother to watch teams beyond division 2.

We outscored Down 1-17 to 0-5 from the 47th minute onwards. I'm not ashamed to say I cried at the finish and for the last 2-3 minutes of the game. I lost my Dad a few months back. We travelled Ireland all over following Wicklow. He'd have loved today.

Mayo as easy winners against Louth as Donegal was against Meath last year. Interesting both were only 4 points in front at half time.
So many pundits that was tipping Louth to win was music to Mayo's ears and many of those pundits are generally wrong and how wrong they were today.
Unfortunately from a neutral point of view it was another non competitive contest in knock out championship football and hopefully the semi-final tomorrow and final is better viewing.

Commiserations following the semi-final. Unfortunately, it seemed to be a case of just a bridge too far. It was uncannily like our run to the semis last year in all honesty.
In saying that, Ive loved following Louth these last few years and I think (I hope) some of historic emnity between Louth/Meath is being washed away in a mutual respect these days. Look forward to meeting you again.
Congrats again on a stellar championship.

Advanced Mark is going to destroy the art of defending. Brilliant defending by Louth in the 44th minute only for the ball to be taken back for the Mark.

Replying To Dmoa95: "Mayo have been loose at the back but i think they tightened up in the Cork game" I don't think Mayo tightened up in the Cork game at all. 35 shots on goal Cork had and as previous games Livingstone pulled off a few top saves to prevent goals.

Replying To tirawleybaron: "So you selected 2011 to 2021 - that was a particular group of players, not Mayo in general - this group aren't as good.
By your logic Dublin will beat Kerry because they won a lot of All Irelands between 2011 and 2023.
You win football matches based on the players on the field - not tradition or because you had a good team once." No that's not the logic I'm using at all if for example
Mayo were playing Kerry tomorrow there is no question in my
Mind that Kerry would beat mayo their just a better team
However On the basis of
Mayo playing Louth who haven't played in a semi final
In 50 Whatever number of years I think mayos overall psyche experience call it what you want is an advantage tomorrow and it wouldn't surprise me
If they win that is all personally
I don't really care which team win but good luck and
Enjoy it anyway
