Replying To Fionn: "I think 3 is too many tbh.
Na Fianna did it years ago with the Armagh lads and Dublin players from other clubs.
So if you were to limit it to one from outside Dublin and one club transfer within Dublin.
Perhaps that could work.
One thing is for sure though, the DCB need to address it." I dont think any player should be allowed play with a club unless they working or living in close proximity.There does nt seem to be a parish rule in Dublin and players able to choose the club they wish to play for.Na Fianna and Parnells took it to the limits.

Replying To Fionn: "In fairness, having to commute to another club in Dublin does Not defeat the purpose of travelling back to Galway, for example.
There are plenty of clubs in Dublin who could take them, even if it is not a high profile or Senior club.
Putting a limit on It is the only way to do it imo.
The likes of Crokes, as massive as they are, being allowed to play an import of the quality of Shane Walsh, does not sit well with me at all, or with a lot of people. And that is no slight on Shane at all btw.
And this is not just about non-Dublin players - Dublin players transferring to another Dublin club with a chance of silverware should not be allowed. Na Fianna being one example. Plunketts previously, another.
It can get right out of hand if it is not addressed by DCB.
Super clubs will prevail and the other Dublin clubs left aside with no hope of success." Well said Fionn. I have no allegience to any Dublin club but I have great admiration for Ballymun Kickhams as they never looked to poach players and its nice to see clubs like that get success.

Replying To TheFlaker: "That's a really bizarre way of looking at things. Only having a pop at posters who highlight all the mad stuff." No if someone says something I agree with ie David Clifford is best footballer in Ireland I will give it a thumbs up.
A debate involves two opposing views.
I am in fact balanced I call out both sides ie I'll call out Barney for nonsense and you and freethinker on other side
Like see how you cannot give him an iota of credit.
I can criticise and give credit where due

Replying To Freethinker: "There you go again calling people who disagree with Mr T Deranged. That's straight out of his lexicon. I happen to think that Mr T is the worst thing that ever happened to America, Europe and the rest of the world Hardly enough to put me in the deranged category - but if it makes you feel better, so be it." What is your logic for thinking he's the worse thing to happen the world.
I think his bark is worse than his bite. After all his hoopla his first term was unremarkable until he lost election and he helped fan flames of capitol riots
I'd be more concerned what will come from Vance or newsoom next

Replying To jm25: "Has he not got things settled between Isreal and Palestine compared to mess he inherited?
India and Pakistan agreed to ceasefire
The info is out there if you think freely and not have trump derangement syndrome
As I've said dont like him but just criticising his bad and not calling out things he has done well is not very balanced" There you go again calling people who disagree with Mr T Deranged. That's straight out of his lexicon. I happen to think that Mr T is the worst thing that ever happened to America, Europe and the rest of the world Hardly enough to put me in the deranged category - but if it makes you feel better, so be it.

Read again I did not call anyone deranged for disagreeing with him.
People who cannot give him credit for anything I put in that bracket
It's deranged if you can't acknowledge he has improved things in Gaza compared to situation under Biden watch.
Feel free to call out his failings of which there are many
He could turn water into wine and you'd complain it's not beer.
Your opinion is just that.
Don't think he's up to much either and he's a nasty person I'd put him slightly ahead of Biden as president.
From shows I've watched recently I'd put time mcveigh and Koresh below him in terms of Americans worse then him

Replying To TheFlaker: "So if 90 per cent of his presidency is nuts you will only post about the positive 10 per cent. And accuse posters of having tds who highlight all the mad stuff. You are honestly making no sense.
By the way I already said he was right to try and clamp down on the border. More than once. You say you know nothing of the Venezuela situation yet you highlight the India/ Pakistan ceasefire? Are you trying to tell me you knew there was a problem between India and Pakistan? Really?" Yes I'm a big cricket fan getting up early watching ashes this weather was actually gonna bring it up here on this forum.
currently listening to ed Joyce interview with Joe Molloy funny enough so well aware of issues between India and Pakistan through cricket
Heck the Indian and Pakistan PL were suspended this year due to conflict so even a passing sports fan prob heard about it.
Imran Khan Pakistan captain at 92 World Cup currently in jail is an interesting story
Both are far more renowned countries then Venezuela isn't India the largest population now
Does that satisfy I know of conflict
Ive not read anything on goings on in Venezuela I thought they had a crackpot leader who trump would get on with like balsanaro

Leitrim GAA thread - 1 Like(s)
Based on league will never happen. Any clubs with players involved with county would be at a disadvantage waiting on their players to come back in. Even if the games were played on weekends outside of county and all players 'released', some players will have knocks and might not play or be allowed play by the county team even if they only had a niggle.
The current system based off championship the previous year is why there is such a buzz around championship. If a team won intermediate this year on an outside chance and had a poor league next year, they would remain in intermediate.. No Way, they have earned their Senior Status for a a year by winning the Intermediate Championship the year before.

Replying To GreenandRed: "Candidates who ran for election knew the deadline to their candicacy declared as did those who dudn't get the quota of backers. Government parties had weak enough candidates so they weren't gonna make it easy for any potential independent candidates to make them look even worse. Regardless, had independents declared their intent a few weaks earlier then, arguably, their name would have been on the ballot paper." Bullet dodged with the lad Sheridan going by company he kept at weekend

Tailteann Cup: Right To Scrap Group Stage? - 1 Like(s)
I mentioned earlier in the year when Tailteann Cup finished that there's a clear gulf within both All Ireland and TC. There are close to 5/6 teams in the Sam competition that haven't an asses roar of getting to the semi final let alone win the competition. Similarly in TC you can nearly pick 5/6 teams who it's going to come down to for the last 4. I'd sooner reduce competitions to 12 teams and introduce a third competition. You can still allow some league element to play a role which might see a team jump from tier 3 up to 2 with or without reaching provincial final.
Some posters mentioned the qualifiers and yes Sligo were one of a few teams who had a good run in several years during them. But we had a team then that was playing Division 1 in early 2000s and regularly making Connacht finals. Would I like to go back to chancing our arm against the likes of Tyrone or Armagh in a round 3/4 game now…not so sure as the result would be up there on the list of heavy drubbings. I sometimes think those ardent Leitrim supporters on here who are against change all the time would sooner be hammered in an All Ireland game by one of the big teams and maybe have it to say they were in the competition and had put it up to a Kerry, Tyrone, Dublin for a few minutes, rather than accept not being able to beat your own level is the real issue. And that includes the likes of Sligo too. We're in Div 3 for a reason for the majority of the last 10 years. The once off great campaign were great at the time and we still talk about 2002 and Armagh getting lucky, but wouldn't today's generation treat winning the TC much the same way? It's not often a Sligo man has climbed the steps of the Hogan Stand to collect a cup, and if it is to ever happen in Championship in the next while, it certainly won't be for Sam and you can add another 20 something counties to it.

Replying To Fionn: "Looks like this is not just a Dublin GAA issue.....
Former Kerry and Kilmacud Crokes goalkeeper, Devon Burns, is set to join Ratoath with the goal of getting into the Meath senior panel. Robbie Brennan, the Meath manager, has reportedly asked him to make the move, and it looks like a smart step towards a future in the county team.
With Ratoath's strong setup, this could be the perfect opportunity for Devon to earn a spot with Meath. Keep an eye on this he could be lining out for Meath soon!

Head4TheBlackSpot (Meath) - Posts: 49 - 10/12/2025 12:25:00 " Didn't Brennan bring him into Crokes halfway through last year and dropped long time keeper Ferris?
Apart from anything lese, what message does this send out to the other goalkeepers in Meath, never mind the two already on the panel! If it was me, I'd be jacking to be honest.
