The Croke Park protest was hardly peaceful. They forced their way in (injuring security staff in the process) and trespassed. They should be identified and charged.

Replying To Tirchonaill1: "I must just check Allianz for a quote, my insurance is due for renewal soon, if they are cheaper I'll be going with them,
makes no difference to me, I know no more about them than any other insurer, I know they have sponsored our GAA for years though, that counts for something with me." Everyone's choice who they get their insurance with, couldn't care either way but people have a right to peaceful protest. GAA was here before Allianz and will be here long after them. You'd think by some people that GAA couldn't survive without them. How would Allianz Croke Park sound?

Replying To iarmhiabu: "Like the County Board, you obviously haven't thought this one through, coming out with such nonsense. Of course, the Championship rankings is based off the performance of the teams the previous year, this is usually the case in sport. The record of teams from Senior Section B when matched up against teams from Section A in the knockout stages is atrocious. Therefore Section A is much stronger and a fairer, genuine tiered Championship structure is absolutely necessary. A fairier, genuine tiered Championship structure should see more qualification spots for the stronger tier, easier paths (Semi Final Byes), there has to be reward for competing at the higher level, competitive merit etc. This is exactly what we had. Until the geniuses aided by one club (no surprise they are in Section B) with 4 possible voting cards (unheard of in the GAA) rammed through the changes, contrary to the evidence, and most of all, disregarding the wishes of the players. Now we are left with a tiered Championship structure which has made the distinction between tiers less meaningful, reduces competitive integrity and creates unequal strength. And you were saying about flaws?" It's completely nonsensical. If 3 from each group then should be an open draw , like it was from 2000 - 2016. If tiered by last years results then it has to be 4 and 2. The people who pushed this know this , but they are only thinking about how their own club can benefit in 2026.

Replying To Pikeman96: "Two things for you:
1 - It wasn't The Sunday Game. That's not on at this time of year. Won't actually start until the Championship does.
2 - This is not the first time a Tyrone person has disregarded how the actual name of the programme is "Allianz League Sunday"" Peter disregarded nothing. That was addressed on the broadcast on Saturday evening. Maybe watch it back?

Replying To totalrecall: "No issue with the protest and I have yet to hear convincing argument put forward by the GAA other than a financial one for keeping the sponsor.
Maybe people should look in general at their insurance , I'm sure Allianz aren't the only financial institution with links to what is happening in gaza." I must just check Allianz for a quote, my insurance is due for renewal soon, if they are cheaper I'll be going with them,
makes no difference to me, I know no more about them than any other insurer, I know they have sponsored our GAA for years though, that counts for something with me.

i said it before and ill say it again - if you cant support them at their low dont support them at the highs....let the lads enjoy a perk of committing to the county for a year...especially a hard year - Im personally delighted they get a holiday / training camp - hopefully its a bonding session and brings them closer together

I honestly dont have an opinion on this. But 1 observation. RTE dont have to include Allianz in the name of the program . It could be called, Gaa Sunday or Match of the Day. Unless of course they are getting paid by Allianz too? If thats the case Allianz are indirectly paying the pundits? If im correct then i think there is some hypocrisy abounding? I would be happy to be corrected regarding the above assumptions.

Replying To ohwow: "This idea that the gaa will have no bother picking up a new league sponsor if Allianz are kicked out is very amusing and shows a complete lack of understanding of economics." GAA's total revenue for 2025 was €142 million of which €800 thousand came from allianz, not to be sniffed at but not life or death money either.

I can't see Waterford beating Tipp, even at home. Tipp fresh after a week off whereas Waterford playing their third game in a three weeks and they looked very poor in Salthill in Sunday. That would mean relegation for Waterford regardless of results for ourselves and Kilkenny but we should be driving it on to see if we can get two wins from our last two games to try make a league final.

Yes, Cantwell addressed too in the piece I'd already watched and which I watched back again at somebody else's invitation.
RTE are contractually obliged to call their coverage "Allianz League". Yet Canavan seems to have no problem with appearing on it. Nor does he appear to be calling on RTE to drop their own association with Allianz, in the way he's calling on the GAA to drop theirs.
In short - he won't bite a hand that's feeding him. But he wants somebody else to bite a hand that's feeding them.
Do as I say, not as I do.

Replying To S1234: "No chance the dubs wil get near Armagh ." Dublin are 5/4 to win. Armagh were left to rue their wastefulness against Mayo,Roscommon and Galway a bad habit that's hard to break however if they have a rare good shooting efficiency day then they can beat Dublin.

Replying To legendzxix: "While Division 2 is where it is at for All Ireland qualification and promotion to Division 1, it is hard to gauge where counties are at for an All Ireland tilt. '23 and '24 All Ireland winners came from Division 2 so they cannot be dismissed. Derry seem to have regrouped but is that the benefit of D2.. Would they be in a similar position to Monaghan if they were in D1.." I think what's motivating Derry in 2026 is their soft draw in the Ulster championship. They've remarkably avoided all the 'top seeds', and should make the final, which gives them a better opportunity than usual of getting an extended championship run. Nothing like a soft championship draw to boost morale for sides playing in the toughest of the four championships.

Replying To ElGranSenor: "Yes but it helps to look at the number of times a team was second too, gives an indication of whether they were anywhere near winning
Us from 1950 to 1970
4x All-Ireland winners (1955, 1956, 1960, and 1968)
5x All-Ireland runners-up (1951, 1954, 1962, 1965, and 1970)
3x League winners (1955/'56, 1957/'58, and 1966/'67)
5x League runners-up (1950/'51, 1951/'52, 1954/'55, 1963/'64, and 1968/'69)
Offaly from 1980 to 2000
4x All-Ireland winners (1981, 1985, 1994, and 1998)
3x All-Ireland runners-up (1984, 1995, and 2000)
1x League winners (1990/'91)
2x League runners-up (1980/'81 and 1987/'88)
We got to nine All-Ireland finals and eight league finals in twenty years, they got to seven All-Ireland finals but only three league finals
They did well to win four All-Irelands given how little depth they had and how small their pick was" Why do the 50's and 60's come up so often in the threads?
