Replying To WanPintWin: "Fouls on attacking players. The free Galway had last night was for a Roscommon player taking too long to take his own free. A two point free for that seems extremely harsh. Likewise for fouling the ball, such as over carrying, touching it on the ground etc." Well posted. That sets it out well. As for last night, that should surely have been a throw ball rather than a free in to Galway.

Congratulations to the Leitrim hurlers who have made it to the Lory Meagher Cup final the second weekend after next. Tremendous stuff boys after missing out on promotion in the league by a whisker.

I see Offaly have a weekly 50/50 draw with a prize fund of €2,500 each week! 50% goes to the prize goes to the winner and 50% goes back to Offaly GAA. The big difference is the entry fee of €5 for one entry, €10 for 3 and €20 for 7 entries. Would this not have been a better option? Much more appealing to supporters and neutrals, sustainable long term and one person spending €5 per week would raise €260 over the year rather than a once off payment of €100.

Replying To ElGranSenor: "We beat them in 2018" As most wexford people. Living in the past.
We need to open our eyes. Saying it since year. We are miles off the pace. It is not been negative just reality.
Don't know where we go from here tbh.
As low as bonnar era.
When lads take 3 attempts to pick up a ball it's worrying.
Deflated. Rock bottom lads

Heading in for a couple to foxes before that match now. Day unreal and really looking forward and hoping for a big performance. Safe travels to all and going for a 3 point win for Ros.

Replying To Galway2001: "good team picked for today but shocking to think Mikey Mulryan isnt making the 26 he was our U20 captain and best player we had this year.
The hype is gone overdrive in Roscommon so hopefully we can capatalise on that
Gaillimg Abu" What hype? Galway are favourites with the bookies and punters. Majority of national media pundits has tipped Galway.
As for U20 player not making your 26 well none are on our 35 plus senior panel and we won U20 Connacht title.

Replying To Kickitout: "Good see o flaherty at wing forward think it's a positive move not sure 2 be honest about Daly at centre back the last few times molloy has picked up enda smith and done ok on him but the way game is gone now it's the team u finish with is often the stronger one I'd say Hernon , Tierney, comer o Laoi definitely see game time and either McGrath or Mulhern who are both good kick passers which u need es when comer comer in no point having him in there if slow hand passing o Laoi , McGrath and Mulhern are good kick passers, definitely need to watch Ross kickouts the ones over the midfield press that's how they open up mayo and how they got goal in league v Galway wing backs need to read flight of ball and not get caught under it" If John Daly is an issue relating to the porosity of the Galway defence, he's by no means the only issue in that regard, based on that first half. We're making Darragh Heneghan look like Michael Donnellan so far.

Replying To Expertinall: "The more games you play, the more likely you are to pick up injuries or suspensions, the division the opposition play in does not change that. I agree with you about Galway, but it's an open draw, and they got lucky. Munster is the only one, who has 2 seeded teams, which is now advantageous, with home advantage guaranteed, why can I not call it out? I could also highlight some of the Munster opposition league status, but I doubt it's necessary. I hope there's a great Munster final, tomorrow, but I'm allowed to question the format by which it's arrived at." Good post. You are totally correct, Galway got lucky this year. Kerry and Cork are set up to get it handy every year. They can gear their training for a Munster Final.

Replying To CarlowJuniorB: "Sickening." Not sure sickening summarises for me
First half we were useless
Great response in second half
Really entertaining game ..
Yes we lost but we get a second go.
Hopefully Brambrick,Hulton and and Ruth will see some Talteann cup action.
Downside for me was flat second half and conceding 6 goals

Replying To brianb: "Yeah - that could have been said. As you said - It wouldn't work perfectly.
Whatever about anything else - I believe the biggest issue with the current format is that teams can't get relegated as a result of poor performance in the championship." To make home/away 'work perfectly' -
Draw Rds 1 & 2 in advance, before a ball is kicked
Eight home teams in Rd 1 are drawn away in Rd 2
Win both, straight to QFs - lose both, out - win/loss to Rd 3
Rd 3 is variable in size - could have 0-16 teams (more the better)

Replying To sponger: "This is embarrassing.
I thought we might win this. Silly me." No more than I expected really. A battling second half but the damage was done in the first half. The inconsistency of this team is hard to understand. The main aim this year was the league and our league form underlined our inconsistency. I think there is another round or something in this Tailteann but the year has been agonising enough already. We don't need any more "nearlys".

Replying To legendzxix: "Losses for Limerick and Clare yesterday. This is where the second chance comes in. If they lose a third game, they cannot have any complaints about the end of their summer." And yet there would be no issue if a Munster or Leinster hurling team lost three matches and qualified. It's bound to happen eventually in one of the groups.
In fact, a Leinster team could lose four matches (three group games and the Leinster final) and continue. Why the double standards?

Replying To Gearoid1998ffowaed: "I don't know what you're on about, was at the Oughterard V Maigh Cuillin game on Friday night and they're a very strong team. They were 2 points ahead of Maigh Cuillin and Fionn McDonagh got a goal in the last minute. They were very unlucky not to win." Okay so 5 losses from 5 isn't an accurate picture of where they are at, they have just been unlucky? Claregalway beat them by 19 points in the last week of March.

Replying To Saynothing: "No matter what way it's run it's a mess. I'd cure all this by starting Div 3 and 4 leagues a week before Div 2 and Div 1 a week later. Then after 3 and 4 leagues are over have a open draw between 3 and four for the first round of All Ireland, winners go into an open draw with Div 2 teams and winners of that go open draw with Div 1 teams. Get rid of Micky Mouse Mc Kenna cups and the like. End off." That is exactly what people DON'T WANT.
A single tier, half the teams getting 1 game.

Replying To Fionn: "Lee will be 34 this year, and like our own Danny Sutcliffe (34), he might feel he has given enough, and call it a day on his Inter County career.
They actually have very similar medal hauls:-
Lee Chin-
Leinster Senior Hurling Championship (1): 2019
Walsh Cup (1): 2018
Leinster Under-21 Hurling Championship (1): 2013
All Star (1): 2019
Danny Sutcliffe-
Leinster Senior Hurling Championship (1): 2013
National Hurling League Division 1B (1): 2013
Walsh Cup (1): 2013
Leinster Under-21 Hurling Championship (1): 2011
All Star (1): 2013
Leinster Minor Football Championship (1): 2009
Lee would be a massive loss to not only Wexford, but Hurling in general.
Top top player." Two great players there Fionn. Will go down as all time greats for their counties, despite not winning AI medals.

'Fixing' the last result with KK was a help on more than one occasion.....even fixing the throw in time. KK weren't as accommodating this year, when they badly needed the points.

Good luck to the footballers tomorrow. Down a few thru injury but others are back like Adam McCarron. Apart from Hulton isn't Mikey Bambrick suspended also I think?" Bambrick was the main starter I heard who was out with a big enough injury. Ruth a massive loss in the middle too
