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.

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,

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

Replying To TopDrawer: "Did the minor footballers get hammered or something. the socials didn't put the score up as far as I could see - just the Tipperary won." I think that there was a bit of a mix up on this. I think that was next years u17s that played Tipp.

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?

Tough day for Down but the Davids of the hurling need to take on Goliaths and learn from the experience. Waterford in 1A and Kildare in 1B have added spice to the relegation battles. Kerry then are in the promotion mix from D2 but Laois away next will obviously be tough.

Replying To BigBàsMan: "You'd swear it was a hammering. The teams were level on 50 mins. Galway going nowhere this year either. They'll be lucky to get out of Leinster. A lot of the young lads need 4 years s&c to get to where they should be. They'll be eaten alive come championship. Also, as for Conor Whelan coming back into the 15. 9 pts in 7 championship games last year, needs to seriously improve his form to warrant a selection. Anthony burns has opted out, and he's right." Whelan did not have a great year by his standards but you will remember they had to move him out to the middle third because he was the only forward who could win ball out there.
Definitely a down year but he was still their 2nd best forward a long way back of Mannion. He will walk back into the team when he's back from injury

Replying To Seanfan: "What's the opinions for Sunday?
Will Mark go with the lads who featured so far or will any Brids lads make the 15 or 26?
I hear Sean Trundle was part of the meet the players thing in the Hyde.
A good addition in my opinion." I would like to see him go with as much of the same team as the last two games. It takes time for players to fit in and gel as a team. If Bridgets lads are available then they should be interducced as needed. This is a game we have a reasonable chance of winning. Armagh will be tough to beat and won't want to loose any more points after a good performance against Galway which I thought they were unlucky to loose.

Yep, I am hearing one name in particular who could be cut. Pity, as I like him as a player and he can play in multiple positions. We will find out this week...." Any hint Fionn? Hope its not BH.

Even Neary looks well able to win his own ball

Replying To ExiledInWex: "Ben O'Connor is going to light up the media this year.
I agree with him but referees are more likely to be asked why they didn't book or send off somebody than why they did.
But here is the thing. I think hurling needs a "bunker review" like rugby. Let the game on, somebody to the sin bin and let a TMO help the referee where he can.
Not VAR which is ruining football but if there is serious foul play or an off the ball incident it needs to be dealt with.
But players are conning referees, pretending they are hurt, diving for frees, etc. Its not doing the game any good." I was talking to a fella a few years ago who played both codes, Gaelic and Rugby. Which did you prefer, I asked. Rugby, he said. When you have the ball you're tackled and that's it. With Gaelic there are fellas pulling and dragging you from start to finish, constantly mouthing, you don't get a moment's peace.

Hurling people all have a hear no evil vibe. The game is perfect, leave it alone.
But its gone boring to watch. A free or line ball every 20 seconds.
No defined tackle, charging is never blown and a defender can't defend.
Players trip themselves and cod the referee.
They all lose their footing at the edge of the square if there is a defender close.
Supporters think every player hitting the ground is a free.
Players going down like they have been shot after a player standing tall or trying to flick a ball away and barely taps the helmet.
