Allianz protest - 5 Like(s)
Peter Canavan hasn't ripped up his RTE contract and is appearing on an Allianz titled programme. How does that square with his protest?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think we will still go up if we win our last two games so tonight's result may not matter too much. I'm hoping that McHugh had his eye on that scenario and heavy loaded training this week. Otherwise it's a worrying result. We will have a better idea of the players when the chips are down these last two games now that they really matter. It's win or bust! It's great scoring at will against the bottom team last week but now we will learn who can step up or not!

Replying To Bluelake:  "Tomorrow night is a real potential banana skin. Laois been a bit inconsistent although they beat Sligo comfortably who we were fortunate to beat"
The lack of proper training facilities is really coming home to roost. I fear for the hurlers tomorrow. Laois will drag them into a physical battle.

Well that second half was a brutal watch. More inclined to pass backwards than forwards. No one with the nerve to pull the trigger for a point, instead trying to walk it into the goals in the face of a packed Donegal back line. Gleason still offering nothing; at this point his his '65s aren't even reliable. And remind me again which team had someone sent off?
This looked like a team were players were more afraid to take chances, than interested in winning. Lucky to get the draw.

Allianz protest - 2 Like(s)

Replying To LongfordgaaAbú:  "There is a strong hint of 'If we can't do everything we should do nothing' about many of the remarks here. There is a very specific difference between say Allianz and Amazon versus other companies involved in GAA activity... Allianz and Amazon are explicitly cited in the UN report linking them to material complicity in what was/is happening in Gaza.

Those protesting Allianz are perfectly legitimate in doing so IMO, and should also protest Amazon's involvement too. If that offends you, don't join the protest. But to try and de-legitmise it by making a 'let those without sin...' argument seems to me an excuse never to do anything unless it solve everything. You can't make any progress with that mindset."
Politics should be kept out of of sport end of. Allianz also insures Air lingus ye gonna stop flying with them for your holiers? Doubt it .
And the protest yesterday was a dusgrace and people actually got injured. What did they achieve by it ? Absolutely nothing pathetic !

why does Poacher constantly release fake teamsheets, does he think it gives us some sort of edge, i know it happens a lot nowadays, but its shocking frustrating.

That might have been the best thing to happen to us today in the long run. At the same time losing by that much is unacceptable and a repeat in The Hyde is damaging. Dowd will have learnt a lot . There were certainly ten scores missed in about 15 mins in first half and the lack of composure and panic
As the game went on was
Startling. The changes may have upset the team
But you have to give game time for preparation of
Connacht.

Replying To tirawleybaron:  "Dublin need 2 wins realistically.

based on What they did v Mayo and Kerry - they wont do it.

Galway, Roscommon are playing very well - Dublin are playing terribly"
Well thats one win in the bag now.

Handy win today and we are building a lovely panel this year. The new faces have certainly added a lot to the team. We should be beating Kilkenny at home next week to ensure top division hurling for next year.

Hard to know what to think after that but we threw it away as far as I am concerned. 7 up and a man up for most of the game. I know a lot is down to inexperience but we gave away the ball far too much. Donegal took their foot of the pedal today compared any if their recent games and only got really stuck in for Q4. With the Dubs finally getting going its going to be another nailbiter for us on the last day. mayo did us a big favor today holding on V Armagh, but we can not afford any slip up V Monaghan. Dubs v Armagh is going to massive. In the end it may well come down to our head to head v Armagh keeping is up.

Great to get the draw. Maher's block down vital. Gleeson played an unbelievable kick out to Shane McGrath - just a pity he was being subbed off at the time. lol. Mayo did us a big favour by beating Armagh. It's still in our hands to stay up.

A Dublin win against Armagh coupled with us not losing to Monaghan will see us stay up. However, it rarely works out as straightforward as that.

If we 'slip up' against a side taking zero points with minus55 pts difference, averaging 11point beatings through their opening 5 games, then maybe we don't deserve div1 status.

Replying To sourmilk93:  "Majority Ros fans take staying up and decent run in championship. Would exceed our expectations but nkt yours as it seems for Mayo.
Were u one of the posters put in your place on the Galway forum lien about the 7 pages dedicated to Kobe.
Who by the way is a top prospect. But would read very little into last weekend. Monaghan were putrid and game was over when he came on.
Even from us iv seen Enda Diarmuid and Ultan do as much in championship at around same age as Kobe is now. A lot of pressure on his young shoulders. Too much hopefully he can stay injury free"
Great to see this "7 pages" debate still raging on. Was Kobe involved in the Silgo\Clare game?

I heard a question posed on TV yesterday. Why are Pro-Palestinian protestors not also Pro-Iranian protestors?
Iranians have suffered horrifically under the oppressive Ayatollahs.
Lads here are quick to condemn the USA, which is very interesting to me.
Fingers crossed for good outcomes.

Replying To Mattyreilly:  "Was wallace an injured last night"
Wally and mattie Whittaker both came off injured last night. Wally looked like hamstring. Mattie took a dangerous high hit in the first half and never really recover. He looked in severe discomfort. Laois were really aggressive but deserved to win last night. They won all the key duels and could have scored more goals. Our biggest problem was a lack of pocession. The next 2 games will be tough with all the injuries mounting now but are winnable.
