I see MacCumhaills have been given a 6 day turnaround, and it could have been avoided. Makes the county board statements during the summer look hypocritical.

Replying To Onion Breath: "Looking at the fixtures for next weekend it looks very unfair on Fenagh that they play Pal on Saturday night (and in fairness will surely lose) but then Bagenalstown and Tinryland will not play until Sunday afternoon - so both will know exactly what they have to do to go through as Fenagh's scoring difference will be known.
Surely those games should be played at the same time with one of them moved to the Training Centre?" I'm not 100% sure if I'm correct with this, but I'm fairly sure when 3 teams are level on points and H2H cancels itself out it's only the score difference from the games including the 3 teams count. Therefore the results vs. Pal would be irrelevant as far as I know

Replying To letsgetgoing: "Aoife O' Rourke has done it again and made it to the 75kg World Championship final which takes place tomorrow. She will fight Busra Isildar from Turkey. A lot of experts will tell you that it is harder to win a World Championship boxing medal that an Olympic medal as a lot of places at the Olympics are reserved for parts of the World that are not strong on boxing. All the top boxing nations are in Liverpool. Therefore it is a fantastic achievent already.
Catching an early flight to Liverpool early tomorrow morning to cheer Aoife on and I expect her to win and bring a gold medal back to Roscommon. If she does not, it is still a fantastic achievement.
The fight is on tomorrow at 13.30 (might be a couple of minutes later) and can be seen for free at Eurovisionsport.com. "live"
Lisa and Aoife and the O'Rourke family should feel very proud of themselves. Up the Rossies!" Super win for Aoife, massive achievement. Fair play for making the trip, sounded like big Irish supoort.

Replying To S1234: "I'm not always picking rows with everyone here . Just because some of you don't like the facts. The fact is alot of you even ones from Leitrim & Wicklow slag Mayo off and then say your not anti Mayo on here . As I said previously we are in transition and have no expectations . Maybe don't keep using the same phrase " Mayo won't win anything " as the poster from Leitrim above said also. Then you might not get ones " picking rows " . Just the facts man ." I live in Wicklow but Im a True blue Dub. Yes you do pick rows as your posts make no sense and Im only giving the facts on Mayo.Serial bottlers.

Replying To FullOfPorter: "Super win for Aoife, massive achievement. Fair play for making the trip, sounded like big Irish supoort." Yes, there was a good Irish and support but it was a pity that it clashed with the women's Ireland v France rugby game. It is very difficult to win a World Boxing GOLD medal. Only five Irish boxers have ever achieved this feat and even Kelly Harrington has not won one which puts things into perspective. The five Irish boxers are:
Katie Taylor,
Michael Conlon. (robbed at the Olympics)
Amy Broadhurst.
LISA O' ROURKE (2022)
AOIFE O' ROURKE. (On Sunday)
I was a very proud Rossie in M&S Areana in Liverpool last Sunday and am still on a bit of a high after it. Some achievement by the O' Rourke sisters from Roscommon and also to the Irish boxing team who finished 7th (3 medals) from the sixty six competing nations.

Replying To LottoPlus: "I could not see nor anyone in the stand around me could see how Oughterard got the penalty. We got one earlier soft, but this one was ridiculous. I was gutted and the felt for the lads who battled with a very young team. I think the future is very bright for Claregalway. Just need to hold onto lads. I think we will have Frank Fox in 3-4 years.
I also went to Tuam on Saturday to see Annaghdown v St Michaels expecting to see Annaghdown get relegated and to be honest they deserve some credit. Hobbling through the year with injuries, they pulled off a shock.(Well I thought Michaels would win). Their second half was totally different that the first and they seem to change tactics Kilcommins sat back in centre back and quieten Higgins (who I thought had a great first half) Comer although injured was brilliant, Frankie Burke rolled back the years. On a sour note I thought referee gave Micheals some awful soft frees. Not as bad as our match but not great either.
We have some really good referees out there but the two I saw at the weekend were not two of them. Football referees have everything they want now, no talk back, no abuse, respect from players but this must be 2 ways. The referees need to be up to speed with the rules and also respect the players and be fair." These games overlapped Saturday how did you attend both

Replying To Bonner: "Clonkill are not renowned for how far their pick stretches. They share a parish with Turin, Crokedwood and partly Cullion. Newly relegated Castlepollard however have one of the largest areas to pick from in Westmeath. Having a large geographic area rarely determines success or failure in GAA." How do you make out Castlepollards Area is one of the Largest? Surrounded by 2 other clubs inside a 4km radius? 1 of them with a pick of 2 national Schools, Poor local knowledge.

Clearly you have no great knowledge of Clonkill's prowess in recruiting players. Their own geographic size is considerable but ask any Turin supporter about their relationship with Clonkill over the past 25 years or more.

Replying To ElGranSenor: "Had a look through the Tara Rocks team that won at the weekend and seems like there were somewhere between 10 and 12 Kilanerin players starting for them?
I'm not really sure about the current arrangement, doesn't look like Tara Rocks are getting anywhere closer to standing on their own feet, the opposite looks to be closer to the truth if anything" I've had a look at the programme for last weekend and also the list of approved transfers for this year, to see who was moving in opposite directions between the clubs for hurling & football.
I make it that of the Tara Rocks Intermediate team, just two of the named 15 and three of the subs were actually Tara Rocks player.
Same with their Junior 'A' team: just two of the named 15 and three of the subs actually Tara Rocks player.
If you consider that the two starters on the Junior 'A' team were also subs on the Intermediate team, that means they had just eight hurlers togged out at the weekend.
This Tara Rocks/Kilanerin arrangement has been in place since 2017 and we were told at the time that the whole idea was to allow Tara Rocks get back to being able to field in their own right within about five years. Instead, looks like they're further away from it than ever.

Should be a lively affair with Bonner on board. I wonder if he will
be radical and bring Seamus Quigley to the sub bench as macca999 recently suggested and will some opt for retirement? Interesting times ahead under his stewardship.

He played 331 times at senior level for the county (national league, championship, Kehoe cup, O'Byrne cup etc - no challenges!!) across both codes. I don't know if there's anyone with those sort of figures?" Thats some record alright for an outfield player.Its easier for a keeper to play longer as less running.

Ignoring games v Palatine, the scoring difference currently looks like:
Bagenalstown +14
Tinryland -2
Fenagh -12
So Fenagh need to get a result against Palatine or hope Bagenalstown beat or draw with Tinryland.
