Replying To ohwow:  "I was in Roscommon on business and caught the last 20 mins of the St Brigids game. Suffice to say they steamrolled the opposition and will win another county final comfortably. A fine performance but a poor standard of football throughout the game which I was surprised about. Thought the standard would be higher."
Thanks very much. We obviously need to improve massively in Roscommon to try and reach Leitrim's level.

Replying To Galwayareback:  "I am tired of people saying that people are saying that Moycullen are the new Salthill bringing in lad to play with them. Is they live in the parish they are entitled to play with Moycullen. Moycullen are just lucky that 5-6 ex county players from other counties have moved in."
Its completely deserved.
Niall Walsh the only genuine case as far as I know.
Owen Gallagher lived in the city when he transferred.
Killian Gallagher lived in Oranmore.
Heard from a reliable source Johnny Moloney didnt live near Moycullen either.
Nevin O'Donnell was an organised transfer.
They will probably win Frank Fox this year but surely wont mean much to them.
I think Annaghdown will give them a scare this weekend. A huge win against MM could have Moycullen complacent. MM were foolish against a breeze too, I think Annaghdown will make it slow and keep themselves in the game and have the shooters to do damage with a breeze.
I think Annaghdowns workrate and high pressing could rattle Nevin too. Kickouts are a weakness.
Hoping for an upset.

Replying To ahsure.:  "Be interesting to see who is brought in alright. Hopefully Morris can be persuaded to come back, very popular with team and good to have some continuity with new to setup. Could Finian Hanley be on the ticket from the West? Some link with the u20s too, Kevin Johnson?"
What has Morris done since he was added?

Replying To OhtobeARossie:  "Gaels may end up the closest team in actual knock out football
Which tells u really how good brigids are.
They've hammered a young Gaels team dripping with Connacht underage champions u17/20
The antihalation of a strokestown team last years Connacht intermediate champions and a team with neary who I personally believe is Now the best pound for pound baller any position in roscommon tells you all you need about how good brigids are at this moment
Pearses if there not ahead at the 45 minutes point are also in for a day similar to probably the Gaels 8 to 10 off"
Will be closer than that in the final. Pearses too clever and match fit to loose by a big margin to Brigid's. Brigid's can be got at. Starting first with their keeper who looks very suspect under a high ball. Comparing a raggle taggle Gaels to a Pearses challenge is way off the mark. I'd say Brigid's by 2 in the final but wouldn't be surprised if Pearses pull off what some think is the impossible.

Replying To Iarmhisamhi:  "I wonder why the 2pm start. Could it be televised by TG4, I wonder?"
Where are all the refs in the County gone? 2 reffed the 5 senior knockout matches between them.

Heard Morris is back. This the third management team Morris has been involved. Curious how much he can bring.

I think he's a stats man. He gets a lot of stuff wrong on X though.

Replying To sporto:  "Inniskeen are just a bit short when it comes to it against Scotstown, particularly on their own kickouts. It was a tough watch in the second half, trying to win a lofted kick out landing around the 45. It's a shame Sean Jones suffers so much with injury, what an exciting player. I don't know you could expect to play with the level of strapping he had on yesterday, needs to take as long out of the game as is needed to get his body right."
Inniskeen have struggled with the goalkeeper position for years. Meegan is a converted outfield player. Scotstown got at least 2 points from intercepted kick outs. Meanwhile Rory scores 9 points.Scotstown would be ordinary without him.Lots of their players were anonymous yesterday. Said it before, he's the difference.
He'll win them another championship in a few weeks. Any predictions for semi finals at the weekend?
I think Emyvale and Ballybay will make Intermediate final and Aghabog advance to meet Drumhowan in Junior.

3 in a row is very hard to do. Been a tough few weeks for the CTG community, no doubt a factor this weekend as well

Replying To peiledoir20:  "They always find a way.

Bad news about young McGettigan. Hopefully he can come back from it. Gallagher definitely a loss around the middle today.

To be fair Ethan O'Donnell is not there by choice. Many other teams across the country missing players who are in Australia by choice. Good to see the Doherty brother back though."
Yes Gallagher was a major loss yesterday, I believe it was the reason we struggled around midfield yesterday for so long. Every ball that was won by a player took several hits before he got the pass off.
That was down to glenswilly crowding midfield to there credit, they won most of the breaks the first 50 minutes.
That extra big man in Gallagher would definitely have helped.
In fairness to E odonnel, he came home every other year for championship and owes the club nothing.
Mcgettigans injury is devastating for the young fella, 3-4 time he has done the knee. Hard to see him coming back after this.

On another note, murphy is a fine footballer, but he seriously needs to learn how to tackle or else he will end up costing donegal again next season.
Simple don't get involved with silly stuff, he has enough experience and should know better.

Replying To OhtobeARossie:  "Junior probably will be
Senior most likely brigids will be odds on to win it
Intermediate standard this year is below the years of faitleachs, strokestown etc and would need overall Connacht intermediate to be of a lower standard this year for either Eire og or tulsk to win it."
I said competitive than to win. Brigid's should they overcome Pearses and they needed two tries and MOTM performance from Conor Carroll to do so last year have the toughest route in Connacht needing to beat the Sligo champions at home and away trips Tuam and Castlebar in order to win it, the type of route than can get even the best of teams beat.

Yes Faithleachs,Strokestown and Glaveys before them was stronger Intermediate champions than the current Finalists sides who have gone on to reach senior semi-finals and Tulsk or Éire Og are unlikely going to do that at senior level next year however I would see them as strong as Castlerea in 2023 Croans 2014 when they won the Connnacht Intermediate title and Dominic's,Fuerty,Elphin who was competitive in finals. intermediate is always at a steady standard with the amount of decent Galway,Mayo clubs about.

No disrespect to B teams but it's good for the 2nd year in a row that two 1st choice teams have reached the Junior final. I was attendance for Aidans v Ballinameen group stage game and it was one of the highest quality Junior matches I've seen in this county for many years so hopefully more of the same for that final.

I know next to nothing about the application process myself but I do know my own club has been successful a few times after having the form completed by the same club official who's very good and very thorough at that sort of thing, rather than engaging somebody else to do it.

Suppose all I'm saying then really is no need to use an outside company if you've got somebody yourself who's up to the task.
