Replying To MayoDan: "I saw a video online of him swinging an arm back at a New York player. Pretty soft of course but if that's what the red card was given for then it will be difficult to win any appeal." Doesn't Aidan O'Shea do that every time he has the ball and bull through tackles swinging his elbows?

Replying To MayoDan: "Well one thing you can say about Aidan is he never reacts to off the ball provocation in the same way Cregg did at the weekend!" You have zero memory or very cloudy then? The two O Connor brothers also known for it if they get any up close marking.

Replying To Dheen: "I'm surprised it isn't in Cusack, maybe Clonkill is a preference with the management team?
I agree it wont count for much, Kilkenny will bring huge levels of intensity and skill. Hopefully we are tuned in from the get go, from watching the last two games one thing that stood out to me is that we are a skillful side but the work rate has been exceptional, we need to bring that again and even more so." Only County not hosting the MHC at their County grounds. Lack of respect by your CB to the competition and players from this standpoint

As did I and lets be honest nothing in that incident anf if the appeal isn't successful then the game is in a bad place as that type of reaction happens regularly in games.

Away from all the polictical chat, I'd like to mention the sadness I felt this morning when I heard of Moya Brennan's passing. She was an outstanding musical talent, and was a fine ambassador for Gaoth Dobhair, Donegal and Ireland.

Replying To yew_tree: "Who is saying it will have any bearing? Take a listen to the ah ref podcast. Both teams will have changes and league has no bearing on championship." Need to be paid to listen to that rubbish.
Roscommon will likely make the most changes but trying to turn around that margin of defeat into a shock win in MacHale Park in a matter of weeks is unlikely let's be honest.

Replying To Gaa_lover: "Go ahead a name them if plenty." There are literally umpteen examples of players retaliating to close marking and getting sent off.. poor diarmuid Connolly got caught out several times. Keegan in 2014 vs Kerry when he flicked his boot towards a Kerry player and didn't even connect.
Considering how much football you watch I'm sure you can think of loads more.

Replying To PeterQ92: "The heartiest of comhartas to Leitrim on a terrific win at the weekend. I listened in to Ocean FM from Lanzarote and enjoyed every minute of it.
I'm hearing very positive things about yeer management team and the coaching work they do with the players. This is a well drilled young Leitrim team by all accounts. Good luck against Galway, and as the man on the radio said I hope you give Mickey Graham the welcome he deserves in Carrick-on-shannon." All Leitrim supporters should listen back to the end of the commentary on Ocean FM and what was said about Graham (link attached - https://www.oceanfm.ie/podcasts/ocean-fm-sport/connnacht-sfc-sligo-v-leitrim-the-commentary-12-04-2026-1184462)

Carlow GAA thread - 1 Like(s)
Leinster Championship wins are hard to come by but the feeling of getting wins there will never be matched by the Tailteann Cup unfortunately. It's Basically an All Ireland B competition. Now I would love to see Carlow progress in it or win it of course but that's unlikely at the minute. Just as unlikely for us to win Leinster anytime soon but it means more to get the odd win there. Laois 1988, Wicklow/ Wexford 1996, louth win was massive in 2011, Wexford in 2017 & louth in 2018 but the biggest of them all was beating Kildare in 2018 to book a semi final. That was an unbelievable day & we were all dreaming of a Leinster final until the old enemy across the Barrow brought us back to earth. (That was a massive opportunity lost)
Point is you can't beat the feel good factor of a leinster win, Tailteann is where we are at now but its not the same. That's why Sunday was so disappointing. Good home crowd on the back of getting promoted & we produced a performance that was worst than the London game & that says a lot

Replying To Gaa_lover: "I'm a neutral also and yes you want to see the best players available for selection.
My comparison is based on stats and current form this year, the main scorer and creator on the Roscommon team this year is Dáire Cregg the best for Mayo is Ryan O'Donoghue.
A good journalist Cahair O'Kane named his team of the NFL recently and Dáire Cregg was the only Roscommon player than made it onto his team.
What he had to say.
Although Diarmuid Murtagh Murtagh was their top scorer and Enda Smith was horsing his way through defences the variety of what Dáire Cregg has brought to the table gets him on the team of the league.
Take one pointers he's kicked 16 of them compared to Murtagh's five. He kicked 0-9 against Kerry in Killarney and was brilliant in the wins against Armagh,Galway.
" Wouldnt read too much in to stats for league. I would compare enda smyth with ryan o donoghoe ( not so much in style of play but in repeated high end championship performances). Daire Cregg , i would compare with Cian McHale in terms of where he is at currently, both with huge potential, both top sigerson players, both v good in NFL, but both still unproven in the real heat of championship

Replying To 3rdmidfielder: "The lift that win gave on Sunday gave to the football people in Leitrim is unbelievable!! There is serious potential in that group, the move for McNulty's goal the turn over, two glorious kick passes and a finish David Clifford or Gooch would be proud off, these lads are class footballers the need to belive it. I know Poacher had a difficult start, but I will tell you they are so much better coached and organised now than they were previously." Absolutely, if Poacher had the team the last buck had from the start (i.e 2022) we might have stayed in Division 3 for a year or two and we'd be definitely stronger for it. It annoys me so much what happened during that period, we were played for fools. Ok, the conceded game was a low which should have been avoided but he has done well despite the cards he was dealt.

Replying To Commodore: "For the last 15 -20 years, every new housing development in Ireland has been required to have both public and private housing, the objective was to abolish the "Council estate" tag, to no longer marginalize those from lower income families.
In time that should start producing environments that have less negative influences to youngsters.
As for a more immediate solution, FF/FG Government basically started offering younger criminals from inner City Dublin the chance for them and their families to move out to others places upon release from prison to start over, provided with social housing, furniture etc and options to enrole in the ETB courses while getting full payments. A new life.
The problem is that it has enabled the drug industry to spread more rapidly to every rural corner of Ireland, rather than give up crime, they used this as a networking tool. Not all have done that, but we seen a noticeable surge in drug availablity in tiny rural villages and it seemed to coincide.
Also we have people regularly in court with over 100 previous convictions, who are given €300 fines and maybe 2 months in prison, its a joke. Then if locals attempt to deal with such anti-social behaviour, the Gardai are all over the locals, almost like they are protecting the criminals. If they seriously want to stamp out repeated criminal offending, they need they need to start putting people with exhaustive criminal records away for 10 - 20 years." Agreed.
Have never seen sense in say a 5 year sentence with the final 2 suspended.
If you want prison to truly reform someone, make them do a year inside, with the following 10 years suspended. Break the law, in any way, upon release and serve a further 10.
You get 1 chance.
