Comiserations to Meath and their supporters. Not so classy from some of our supporters booing Meath when they ran on to the pitch. We rode our luck at times but kept plugging away when things were against us. Saw the red card last night and looked a yellow card at worst but we were building a bit of momentum at that stage. It was still a big turning point No point in hoping for the handiest quarter final draw, yesterday's performance won't be enough. Need confidence to go and beat any team now. We need a 70 minute performance if we have it. After 3 years of an over-reliance on Ryan to get us results we're slowly getting a team that doesn't pick itself. Diarmuid O'Connor was brilliant when he came in for Paddy. Pinned back the ears and rolled back the years. Tommy Conroy very good getting some sharpness back. Mattie Ruane in contention for a spot. Some good switches made yesterday. Not sure that the longer intensive warmup on such a hot day didn't contribute to the slow start but we'll march on.

Maigh Eo Abú!

Armagh Overrated - 1 Like(s)

Replying To Jack L:  "I think that it may be time for McGeeney to step down. Oisin McConville doing a great job down in Wicklow must surely come into the reckoning."
Absolutely ridiculous. He won their first Ulster in 20 years almost. Their second ever all Ireland just 2 years ago. I despise Armagh but McGeeney is an amazing manager and the reason they've been good for the last 5-6 years.

Replying To 2maroonjerseys:  "Best of luck to players and management today. Here's hoping for another great performance be it a win or a loss. Ye have giving great pride and delight to this old curmudgeon this year. Onwards and upwards."
Id tell everyone to cherish every game with family and friends because one day it will be the last. I never thought the Kildare game would be last game Id share with my brother. He was the proudest Westmeath man in Tullamore and would have been proud looking down from above when Ronan Wallace lifted the Delaney cup. Im glad to be back on the horse today and his kids will be with us. Well be thinking of him and be grateful win or lose.

You must be new to following football. That's the attitude that we don't want the players to have.

Aye throw Loftus in at 6 that'll work. Seriously ? McBrien is by far the best 6 we have. It isn't a centre back problem it's the overall defensive set up. In the first half Carney, Flynn and Tuohy were very very poor and that's where the problems started.

Tailteann Cup 2026 - 1 Like(s)
2 great games yesterday in the tailteann cup semis, congrats to both Wicklow and Down on progressing to the final.

Dont think could ask for better or more exciting games at this stage of the competition, yet very little exposure in papers or podcast, plus the lowest crowd yet for the semi finals, 9,400.

The GAA needs to look at next year in terms of scheduling, sandwiching into a Saturday against Kerry V Armagh definitely a factor and cant be repeated if want the TC continue to grow and get the respect they say it has within GAA.

They have hit the perfect structure, just need to space it out a bit better, to maximise exposure and allow players recovery team and supporters but more time to plan and look at budgets

Interesting yesterday to see the number of pubs around Croke Park who dont have GAA+ either!

Replying To panamasam:  "There definitely were a few dubious ones. It seemed to stem from the Cork management and especially the centre back trying to get Murphy sent off after what looked a clean turnover. Clearly this was an instruction after the league final debacle. Thereafter a big part of the game swinging was as you call dubious decisions. McGee getting called for over carrying which was marginal to say the least. Then the same centre back running from one 45 to the other with one hop and pops over a 2 pointer. The dessent call which unless was for something said had most of the crowd murmuring.

Anyways we go again. Safe travels to anyone on the way....most probably are, I'm about to set off myself. Let's hope we're in the draw Monday and Michael Murphy's 200th game isn't a sour one."
Such excuses. We were terrible in 3/4 championship games. We have no bench. Our keeper can't find anyone with his kickouts.

McGuinness inability to produce players costing us. Bench not strong enough and losing big players like Niall O'Donnell. Daire form fell off a cliff. Thompson on without any minutes shows how much he values the rest

Replying To Eddie the Exile:  "Armagh could do the whole country a massive favour today. At least six teams would genuinely fancy their chances of winning the whole thing if Kerry are gone. With Kerry still in, only Galway remain as viable contenders. Can't see anything other that a 8+ point win for Kerry however."
Surely the team that has beat Kerry 3 times this year already and by 13 and 10 points in the last 2 are at least a viable contender? Even allowing for Kerry not being at full strenght

That's quite baffling tbh. Galway have a great attack but leak a lot of scores. They're also an aging though team and pretty slow in transition. I think Kerry will win but to disregard the team who's beaten them 3 times in the last few months is strange.

Kerry Peaking At Right Time? - 1 Like(s)

Replying To TommyBermingham:  "Lack of serious comeptition. The Kerry B second best team in competition. Thank god for the World Cup. Just give the trophy to KErry. Congtats on AI victory."
LOL! Noone was saying that after the previous result in Killarney. Tyrone were a tough opponent in last year's semi final. Haven't played Galway since the 22 final. Donegal are Donegal. 2 in 3 chance of Tyrone or Galway next weekend. That's before talking about the threat of Louth. Seriously tough opponents in the hat for the quarter draw. A lot can happen and it usually does in championship football. CA!

Well done lads, great second half display, lots of good footballers in that team , seem to be growing in self belief all the time , something I think Wicklow teams always lacked. Best of luck in the final.
