Replying To Expertinall: "Yes, l believe it's the league highest ranked two countries, in Munster.When has that not been Cork and Kerry recently? What logic draws us to a8 team competition, because Kerry are in top 4? I don't understand your take on that. Anyway what's your solution, leave Munster as it is?" Really? Thats convenient.
Im using your logic on you. You have repeatedly said that the link between the provincial championships and the AI series must be broken. You have repeatedly used kerry as your " exhibit A" example and reason why that should be the case stating that they have it too easy. Kerry are a top 4 team pretty much every year and are the current AI champs. By your logic they will have it too handy against pretty much everyone outside of division 1 and some within it. Therefore why should they be playing them?

Replying To dickie10: "Games are now seemingly going ahead in Northern Ireland, Meath county board contacted Derry saying they were happy to travel. PSNI might yet intervene Derry county board said depending on trouble which could erupt on a Friday night. The time factor is pretty tough though coming out of Derry city at 9 pm on a Saturday night won't bring any families from Meath up. Daft time to put it on for a team that brought over 40,000 to all Ireland semi last year., similar with Armagh who would bring 25,000 to Croke Park if Louth agreed. Two huge counties population wise and support wise and GAA making sure to limit attendance. GAA plus 4:30 match Meath v Derry and 7pm match Roscommon in clones would make a lot more sense. 2 hrs will bring you to south Roscommon from clones . 4hrs to big populations in south Meath from Derry. Coupled with away fixture in cork last timr seems very unfair ." Take a car instead of the horse and cart.

Replying To Paull: "Galway do not want to move to Munster as it would decrease their chances of success in both the All Ireland and Provincial competitions.
The 5 Munster Counties do not want Munster in their Province for the same reason.
Turkeys voting for Christmas stuff.
Problem is Leinster Counties (Turkeys) plus othes voted for Christmas when allowing Galway in.
Its understandable we all want what's best for our own success but should Galways needs be greater than the rest of Leinsters maybe bar Kilkenny??
Leinster need to look after Leinster Counties first, and if that is to the detriment of Galway so be it.
Connaught / Central Council need to look after Galway." What's your proposal? We'll go back to playing Roscommon so. I wouldn't mind what province we're in, but we can't go back to the days of us starting off at a very different stage to other counties. We need to be in one of the provinces as a result.

Replying To Jonnytest: "Spot on, bar shane mcgrath is centre forward. Like the look of that team. Should be a good game" Good team alright, seems Joyce or more or less settled on his starting team for the rest of the season. Hopefully they can get us over the line.

Replying To Mayonman: "What is Rory Burkes injury? How serious etc?
Is it a reoccurrence of the same injury or new one?
Very important player for us.
I think it is all there for this team. Our efficiency against Dublin was really good as opposed to other games where we have been putting everything wide.
We may well lose the semi final but there is no reason to think it is a foregone conclusion. If we lose the other team will know they had a serious test. This group of lads have something about them." Not sure, myself I heard Michael Duignan say in podcast that it was his hammer, but not sure how much truth is in it.

Replying To Viking66: "We need to get better for sure.
Some provincial success would definitely help us get better.
We might have won Leinster minor and u20 titles this year had Galway not been in the competitions.
That wouldve boosted the profile of hurling down here no end." What kind of a statement is that to make? "We might have won Leinster minor and u20 titles this year had Galway not been in the competitions"
In previous years, would you have said: "We might have won Leinster minor and u20 titles this year had Kilkenny not been in the competitions"
Galway are in the competitions. As are KK, Dub, Offaly, and so on.
If we take them all out, we can hand you a Leinster title. Would that stop you from making non-sensical statements?

Replying To ColmFlaherty: "Good team alright, seems Joyce or more or less settled on his starting team for the rest of the season. Hopefully they can get us over the line." Roscommon exposed us for pace big time in CF. With all due respect to Kildare, they never really ran at, or tested us in this regard. There's a lot of character to this Westmeath outfit, as they proved in LF against Dublin - they won't go away. They have both pace and stamina in the locker. Imho, we'll need a big impact from the bench and I feel McGlinchey might be the man to provide this on the day.

Replying To Seanfan: "A title that's used loads of times in the Good Friday Agreement negotiated by Shinners.
A Shinner is "First Minister of Northern Ireland"
4 or 5 of them serve on the "Northern Ireland Executive"
30+ are members of the "Northern Ireland Assembly"
GAA Clubs have got grants from "Sport NI"" Sorry boss. It is the North Of Ireland.
