Replying To Magpie2: "Totally irrelevant. I neither hate the English or love them. We are talking about sport. Cheering for France was daft and shows that certain people store bitterness and hatred in their hearts.
It has to be remembered that atrocities were performed by all sides, IRA, Loyalists and British soldiers. Thankfully the dreadful violence ended many years ago and now there is peace.
The bottom line is that if England won we would be six nations champions. To cheer for France means you would be wishing ireland to finish second.
How stupid is that.
High time to Bury the dreaded hatchet." Grow up, cheering for France means not cheering for England. So if we cheered for England does that mean we hate France? On the killings in the North you mention IRA first just like media outlets. Blind eye took from you to IRA killings back in 1916 and you got your peace, the North didn't. Three important letters, ABE.

Allez les Bleus.

Replying To Magpie2: "In the pub I was in there were loud cheers every time England scored.
It's not that they have a love of the English.
It's simply a matter of wanting Ireland to be six nations champions. It's not rocket science." The boys of Wexford aren't what they once were.

Replying To PolicemanFox: "Grim. -60 or thereabout scoring difference. Maher had the freedom of the pitch. No one laid a glove on him.
Monaghan never on top at any point over the 70+ minutes.
Senior players know they haven't a hope. Newer players too small or not clued in at all.
They look totally demoralised.
Eddie Walsh getting his usual 5 minutes when the game is over. What is the point of a substitution like that?
Guys getting 30 minutes and then taken off.
Are they any direction from the management about how to play at all because it's the same week in week out.
It looks like a shambles.
For once I'm not really looking forward to the next game or the championship." The heads are down alright. Our biggest problem at the minute is we have no scoring forwards to hurt teams. Our scoring averages across the league given the new rules have been abysmal. We have zero threat inside. Garland was back today and hes never convinced at this level. Think we scored 4 pts from play today over the 70 mins. The regulars in the forwards in the absence of other regulars have lost form and confidence. Not sure if Gary Mohan is back for the championship but if he is id move Gallagher to 14 where he offers greater mobility than Woods who might fare better coming on in games. O hanlon is better as a half forward where he has space to run into but we may have no option but to play him inside. We desperately need a fit Mccarthy McEnespie Lavelle Mohan but what are the chances of that at this stage as you'd imagine they'd featured in the league McCarthy Lavelle even as subs i mean if they were going to play v Cavan. If Bannigan thinks he can throw mccarthy and lavelle in v cavan with no football played this year he is with the fairies. Hamill McCaul McPhilips be a bonus to have back but understand all out for year. If you look at where sides like Roscommon and Meath are at teams we beat convincingly 12 months ago the rate of decline in our county side this year has been as bad as I can recall. The team would struggle to stay up in div 2 and unless big turnaround we will be competing in the Tailtenn Cup next year as div 2 shaping up to be v strong next year.

Replying To Magpie2: "Ha, telling other people to grow up. Nobody
hates France by hoping England win and we get the big prize. Simple as.
Or is that beyond your understanding
Normally it's customery for us to cheer on other teams playing against the old enemy.
Personally I don't. It's not because I like them. It's because I don't believe in harbouring old antiquated memories of the past.
The three organisations I mentioned as carrying out atrocities were listed by me in no particular order. I could have named them in reverse just as easily. Violence is barbaric and criminal no matter who carrys it out. Families have been destroyed by all sides during the awful conflict.
It aways amuses me to see Irish guys getting emotional and upset when " their team" get beaten. I'm talking about Man united, Liverpool? Chelsea, Man City or Spurs . All of those are English teams with some English born players.
Then come the internationals and the same guys will be screaming for any team that the English are up against. I fail to understand the logic in that.
Perhaps their is a need for people with narrow minds to GROW UP." It's not beyond anyone's understanding that if Ireland were good enough to win the " Big Prize" they would have beat France on the first weekend. Simply really and not hard to understand. As for your foreign game over the water, I'll watch but makes no difference to me who wins. Give me Carlow v Fermanagh any day compared to that other rubbish.

Replying To eddieSize5Balls: "Need Patton back badly" You're always the first man on here moaning when things don't go well, you were the same too when Monaghan were well ahead at half time in Croker last year. Shocking conditions for goalkeepers yesterday and that played a big part in the kickouts as well as our lack of movement.

An exciting finale to D4 awaits next Sunday. It's wide open with a couple of serious meetings.
The WW - LD match has all at stake as has ANT - LDN. It's odd to think that 9 points would get you promoted.

Good to see we enter the final round of fixtures with it all to play for across the 4 divisions
Dublin head to Galway needing a win and a bit of luck to avoid the drop. You'd expect Donegal will beat Monaghan to book their place in the final. Mayo or Roscommon easily could join them if Kerry can't navigate a tricky trip to the Athletic Grounds.
Division 2 is probably the most fascinating, Meath and Cork know what they need to do, and it's in their hands. Win or draw and they go up. Cork have a very tough trip to Omagh ahead of them, and they'll be getting flashbacks from the Derry game a few weeks ago.
A Tyrone win put Cork in a lot of trouble, their score difference means they lose every 3 way tie, and with Derry and Louth likely to win, they have to get a result in Omagh. More straight forward for Meath, any result against relegated Offaly will see them over the line. They have the head to head on Louth and Derry and are healthy on score difference too. I'd say at this stage Derry and Meath are the ones I'd pick to go up. Louth are there too, but they need a lot to go right for them.
Kildare and Cavan will be battling for their lives, hard to see Kildare turning Louth over based on what they've done so far.
Down again far too good for anyone in Division 3. Straight shootout for promotion between Wexford and Westmeath next weekend, would be good for Wexford football to see them back at a good level again. Leinster football looked dead and buried a few years ago, some turnaround.
London could do the unthinkable and get promoted next weekend too, win and they've got a great shout if luck goes their way.

Replying To Mugatay: "Great result. Fairplay for turning it around. Couldn't make it but sounded like a completely different approach.
Its a long shot but not beyond possibility- i may be wrong but:
Beat Carlow by 10pts
WW win/draw v LD
Lon v Antrim draw
WD beat Tipp or Tipp win by less than 5.
If Barry is badly injured then pass no heed to any of the above ." Head to heads come into play as far as I know so I'd be thinking Tipperary will scupper any chance of promotion with a win at Waterford. We wouldn't deserve it anyhow but we have lots to work towards for 2027 assuming we keep everyone together.

Definitely not, perfect Saturday for Ireland, Ireland win Triple Crown and England beat, and with the last kick of the game makes it even better. They can stick their swing lows.
