Replying To BarneyGrant: "No, not there yet. Might never be, but I prefer the whole thing to be in hands of ourselves rather than the constant running around after some big name. No harm to any of them, but we have a situation now where Donoghue will have huge inside knowledge of Dublin when they play Galway in what could well be a crucial. Certainly will be for one or other.
That's ridiculous especially in the way he suddenly decamped! Footballers and DCB would never in a million years allow such a situation to come about," Agree with you and at the moment Dubs might be slightly better than Galway.Im certain MoD does nt want to lose to Dublin above all teams.

Replying To brianb: "The beauty of the hurling championships is that there is a lot to play for. Every match matters. There is no jepordy in the All Ireland groups. We need to break the link to the league and reward championship performance with championship based promotion and relegation. That would immediately solve the current format.
Imagine if the bottom placed team in the Connaught / Ulster / Dublin / Derry group were going to be relegated. That would allow the top 2 to go through to the 1/4 finals and no need to have the preliminary 1/4 finals. A much better format." You could be right but the big problem is the short season.We are overloaded with games and cant get a chance to enjoy them.Then come August we have nothing.

Leinster Football Championship - 2 Like(s)
Replying To LongfordgaaAbú: "Leinster Council delegates from all counties who voted to prevent this from happening again and again and again over the years should be held to account now. Especially those from smaller/weaker counties who time and again stood in the way of games being played outside Croker and time and again voted against the interests of their own county in order to enrich the Council and endear themselves to those running it.
Well done Louth and Meath, the Dubs will be back, but here's to a great final." I agree more games should be played outside Croker but Dublin did nt make the decisions. I also agree Croke park is of course an advantage but where else can you play finals. I have no problem with Dublin playing games away.In a perverse way Dublin are a disadvantage nowadays playing games outside of Croker as we not used to it like other counties.Croke park makes the decisions not Dublin and I know for true that alot of the players would like to play more games outside of Croker.Counties like Mayo and Kerry love playing there and other counties want the experience of playing there so its hard to keep everyone happy. Yes a home ground is an advantage and Dublin nominated Croke park instead of the Neller but for years both Meath and Kildare used Croke park as their home ground for all championship matches.

Replying To CiarraiMick: "I m in same boat as you RealDub. A team that scores 14 one pointers in a game are better than the team that score 4 two pointers and 6 one pointers.
Like you ill take a win anytime but im not sure im a two pointer fan but Im def against the two point frees.
Some of the rules are good but some I hate ." From what I see the two pointers are suiting the weaker teams more.

Replying To Fionn: "I still think one of Armagh, Donegal or Kerry will win Sam.
With all 3 having a fully fit squad, there is very little between them.
Cant see Armagh winning back2back tbh. I just cant.
But they have a real good chance. Excellent squad.
With Mayo gone, I think we have a real good chance of the 1/4 finals.
Depends on the 1/4 draw after that....!" Anyone but Donegal for me but tbh I think its between ourselves Armagh and maybe Kerry if the get their injuries sorted.They are very dependent on the two Cliffords though and my Kerry pal thinks the older Clifford in trouble with his injury. Armagh have best panel but tbh I thought we were better than them in croker but forgot where the posts were.Cant see that happenin again.I really think we have a great chance.Dubs or Armagh.

Poor Donegal whinging again.Even Jimmy losing Matches doesnt want to play in croker as it costs the poor Donegal misers too much money.All the games cant be in ballybofey.

Replying To TrueBlue35: "Yeah can't argue with that and if Con was there v Armagh we likely would have been a lot more efficient in front of goal either due to him scoring himself or being a focal point in general to create space for better placed shooting. Interestingly has been no word at all about his return - not sure if that's a good or bad thing!
One striking thing that has come from the first two games is how a top class free taker in the modern game is essential. We were spoiled with Dean Rock and try as he may Costello just isn't in any way consistent. Anything from 40+ I think he forces it and the result is a bit of a lottery - makes some and misses some. Deano was some man for slotting big frees." Con is a huge loss no doubt but we were the better team v Armagh but forgot our scoring boots.No doubt Con would have fared better than some but lads Bugler is the key. We had Con v Meath and looked lost as we had no Bugler. Its no coincidence that when Bugler is playing we are normally the better team.

Replying To TrueBlue35: "You're not comparing apples with apples there at all. And it's nothing to do with being the "hard man" I simply said that if a lad is acting that way then he has to deal with whatever comes his way. I also said I don't condone the Armagh reaction but I'm also not surprised by it. I've said emotions are on a knife edge directly after the final whistle. You throw petrol on a flame then you just might get burned." Dead right Trueblue 35

All Ireland Minor Football Final - 2 Like(s)
Replying To foreveryoung: "Perhaps the GAA should introduce a rule whereby it is the vice-captain who accepts the cup instead of the captain who has broken the rules of the game and has been sent to the line! If the VC is also on a red, or the joint-captain as many teams have nowadays, are also on reds along with the captain, the most senior member of the team should lift the cup and give a good speech. We can't have bad example set for the young people watching the game, whereby a player who does not participate in a fair and ethical manner, is allowed to be the mouth-piece for the team.
This would not be allowed in the United States of America." AH ffs. you are having a laugh. The UsA Where yous elect trump as president ha ha. Your posts get funnier all the time. What did that young Tyrone captain do wrong? You dont want a player who commits a foul to get cup but you as Limerick fan think its ok for kyle hayes to play. That says it all. are you still salty cos we gave yous a beating in the hurling. I d say you are a Trumpite. The only county that have been setting bad example are Limerick and the only country that back bad example are the UsA.

Replying To TrueBlue35: "If we don't manage to win it outright I just hope Jim the Whinge McGuinness doesn't get next nor near it either!! I'd normally say Kerry too but can't see them going the distance. Losing to Meath by that much albeit under strength is not a good sign." Yeah bud.Agree totally on Whinge mcGuinness. I dont really mind Kerry tbh.Most are good football people really and will shake your hand after game and congratulate you not like some.I cant stand Donegal.Id rather see England win. Dont like Cork either and hope we destroy them langers.

Good to see Danny Sutcliffe back for the hurlers and Conor McHugh seemed to have a sound debut.Young David Purcell could be a good prospect too.Slim chances of promotion so its preperation for the championship now.Hope O Ceallachain does well steering the ship and its nice to have a Dublin man as manager again.

Dublin Hurling - 2 Like(s)
A sickening day yesterday tbh.Firstly I was surrounded by Langers. Boy do they like the sound of their own voices.I had one lad telling me while eating his sangwedge how the 4 week break is going to kill Cork boy and afterwards saying we were unlucky to meet a Cork team that are flying. He then says sure you can shout for Cork in the final.No way Mister Langer. Our support was very poor yesterday and we were outnumbered 7 to 1 with a guess. Where are the great supporters that are able to go when the footballers doing great? Sorry lads but im pissed off. Last time I checked Croke park was in Drumcondra Dublin and our support was dire.I really felt for the hurlers and it made me realise alot of our supporters our as false as a toupee. The support for the footballers has waned too since we went down a notch.

Replying To ORIELMAN85: "I have an idea. Put Kerry in the Ulster Championship and cut their titles by 75%." Nice one and good idea but maybe put them in Connaught and Mayo and Galway would nt be too happy. Then sure stick the Dubs in Ulster and there would be some moaning and whinging then from Donegal.If Dubs were in Ulster Donegal would never even win an Ulster and Tyrone and Armagh might not have won any All Irelands. I dont think Monaghan would like Dubs in Ulster either bud.

You seem quite keen to absolve the lads for assaulting a lad." The Donegal player was unsporting and childish and no point in trying to defend that carryon.Donegal well able to whinge about Dubs playing in croke park and whinge about Armagh but when someone points the finger at them its wrong.

Replying To Fionn: "Hearing Shane Walsh is back for Galway also.
We have no Bugler, O'Donnell, Murchin, or Gannon.
And our midfield pairing is as was.... it wont be strong enough for Galway.
More than surprised Dessie has kept faith in that midfield to be honest, as it got cleaned out of it by Meath.
In fact the only change from the Meath game is Cian Murphy coming in, and Kevin Lahiff going out.
Hardly inspiring.....!" Fionn I know your heart in the right place but you have to admit Dessie got his tactics spot on today and we destroyed the Galway midfield.Dessie is the right man in charge.I was always confident of beating Galway.I think we can beat their hurlers too.
