Replying To Farneylad275849: "Was at the Cremartin Maghercloone game and young Kieran's and the Cremartin goalkeeper clashed going for a 50:50 and has lost teeth apparently, wasn't wearing a gum shield the referee cud be heard saying warning both teams to put one in, surely every player must be wearing a gum shield in games there's no excuse for it, your not covered by insurance otherwise" I get your point, but maybe better not to post the name of the lad involved? You cannot definitively say either that a referee warning players to use gumshields proves the lad himself wasn't wearing one.

Replying To Pope_Benedict: "If they're a class apart, they should be winning the allireland this winter, and winning the Galway and Connacht championships with some ease in the next few weeks." Why do you think they'll win Galway and Connacht with some ease?
Mis-matches such as that semi-final at the weekend doesn't give full judgement of a team.
As I said about All-Ireland inter county championship when teams get hammered in the last four stage as was the case with Louth and Meath it pretty much tells you their isn't anymore than three genuine contenders in that competition and that appears to be the case in Galway with Salthill Moycullen and Corofin the contenders and well ahead of the rest.
Last year Moycullen beat Salthill by two points in the final and I would expect a similar competitive final this time.
Should Moycullen win they will likely face St Brigids in the semi-final who beat them last year. Next two games if they have two games will give full judgement on Moycullen

Replying To BadgerDog: "Thought the referee done well overall but one major error he made was to not give Danny McCartan a penalty for a push on the back and a black card for O'Sullivan. This could have been a major factor in the game and I think was definitely the wrong decision to only give a free and no black card.
Would love to see Mitchell get significant game time with the county footballers next year, think he has a lot to offer at that level and him and Luke have a great understanding of eachother's games. Some of the balls Luke kicked into Mitchell were top class. Others I'd like to see called in are Joe Moran, Billy Moffatt and Ciaran Nolan, although I think Moran and Nolan were in before but weren't happy with game time." A push on the back is not a black card. It is not the same as the current goal scoring opportunity foul. You can't give a penalty unless it is in the square. They are trialing a change to this in Sigerson.

Replying To mintyfresh: "What are the chances he would go in with footballers? He has been very loyal to the hurlers, especially the last few years. Didn't Dessie try to bring him in his last year? I think he would be a great addition and no better man than Mark McHugh to try and get him involved." Was he not in with the footballers at the start of the year last year? But couldn't shake a niggling injury and so stepped away to deal with it?

Replying To UnbiasedAndHighlyEducated: "Agreed. It seems a few of the 'hair boys are looking to stir the pot
Whilst I think the inter final will be closer than many think, Dromahair will not be able to keep up with Annaduff. Lot of focus on Cox, are we forgetting that Annaduff have 6 - 8 very capable forwards outside of him? A fine mix of youth and experience, strong through the lines, plenty of different options to bring in. Annaduff would beat Dromahair without Cox. Of that I am sure.
Dromahair have a couple of tricky forwards. If it becomes a shootout, Annaduff by 10. If Dromahair batted down the hatches and are hard to play through, they will run them tight.
Annaduff bench to make all the difference. Duffers by 5. Thanks so millions" Agreed if it's a shootout rather then a war of attrition that most teams try to deploy when faced with Annaduff, Dromahair will be punished badly. Melvin got the most change outta them by defending then fast countering, when they went all out attack, they were cut open from the turnover. Duff also have 3/4 forwards to spring from the bench if their starters tire or injure so I don't see a way for Dromahair other than trying to keep it as low scoring as possible when they don't have the wind
