Replying To updwell: "Russia has spent billions as well and lost hundreds of thousands men over nearly 4 years of war and barely moved forward. The US has given nothing to Ukraine since Trump came into office again. Who the he'll is Trump and his worshippers to tell Ukraine give up their land to Russians including land the Russians can't take. The question has to be asked why is Trump rolling over for Putin every time he interacts with him, is he afraid of him or has Putin dirt on him." Were you as worried when Ireland gave up the 6 counties or was it a case of " I'm alright Jack " . I'd say the latter.

Replying To S1234: "I mean MEATH who lost to Donegal by 20 points haha and you have the cheek to call someone else out that you don't even know weird altogether !" Why do you keep having a pop at Meath? Meath are a superior football county to Mayo historically in every way possible. They also had a better year than Mayo last year, getting to a semi final whereas Mayo were knocked out at the very first stage. Cavan beating them comfortably deciding that outcome

Replying To Seanfan: "Are ye Galway bucks worried that yer losing JHC and IHC finals to clubs from non hurling Counties??" Desperate from our intermediate teams bar Oranmore and TAD. I remember Kinvara and now eyrecourt taking hammerings. Intermediate is division 3 in Galway, but still. Shouldn't be losing to Mayo teams.

Replying To Gaaforlife2023: "Can't give all downs in fairness kinnegad deserved a few bur yet could have burke in maybe one more.
Same huelingg I don't know how they left Peter Clarke out of it" Not sure if the selection committee were at any games at all. Surely there should be at least three players on team of the year from each of Tang, Athlone, Garrycastle, Tubberclaire and Caulry . It's an easy decision really.

Replying To Square_B: "Maybe ye should all stay at home so. The rest of us will get on the best without ye." Glad I did this evening, desperate stuff to even watch on tv, imagine paying €160 for a ticket to watch that. Neil Diamond across the PA to entertain the crowd

Why did Ireland opt to play the world champions in their unfamiliar white kit and let South Africa play in their famous green jerseys. Didn't affect the result one iota but seems an odd decision.

Congrats to Strokestown Connacht Intermediate champions in some style in MacHale Park. The 9 point winning margin full value for it.
Shane McGinley, Stephen Tigue, Colin Compton, Timmy Gibbons, Colin Neary, Mickey Kavanagh among the stand out players on show

Replying To BarneyGrant: "A 32 county Republic is not a "mythical place." It was voted for by the Irish people in 1918. The socialist part was stuck on later, ironically by the same people who not only abandoned a 32 county republic, but also any pretence to be socialist!
Sinn Féin are a run of the mill centre left liberal part. They have at last found their true home along with Bacik and Cairns and Murphy. Pity they didn't spare their own people and everyone else all the wasted lives in deaths, prison, and so on before it was handed over to carpet baggers who never had anything to do with the movement when it was pursuing its sole objective of Irish unity." In my opinion, SF are liberal Unionists who hate the responsibility of leadership, in Dublin or London.
They like to sue people. Is this the plan for the next 100 years? The likes of Martin McGuinness were decent
people in terms of political vision, but that was the past. I'm thrilled that the gun is out of Irish politics; that's huge, and I do appreciate the SF's role in this.

Replying To FullOfPorter: "In fairness there were multiple reasons. Adams and others saw the potential of political struggle after the hunger strikes. Add to that PIRA was infiltrated to the highest levels. You also had conflict fatigue and a spate of attacks on ordinary Catholics in the early 90s by loyalists. You also had the realpolitik of the end of the Cold War. US tightening up on funds for separtist movements and determined to settle the conflict here. Less allies for republicans to deal with globally after the USSR gone. The likes of Gaddafi completely isolated. They could exit stage left and get something out of it or be ejected through the back door." Even if the Brits keft the 6 Cos the Provos were never going to achieve a "32 County Socialist Republic" because most people in Ireland were/are opposed to such a mythical place.

Replying To updwell: "Of course I'm an Irishman that would like a united Ireland when the majority in the North wants that.I thought most Nationalists in the the North like yourself would be anti Empire but your pro-Russian empire but anti- British Empire." I'm pro everything and everyone and everywhere when the British are their enemy.

Agreed all, a great club and the very best of luck to them from here on in. An inspiration to all other hurling islands in football territory.

Replying To Viking66: "Why would you think that? Munster and Leinster counties have split the last 4 finals. Can't say that your team looked any smaller than ours in any of the games we played eachother recently at u20, in any of those years, and we were the same size as Kilkenny and bigger than Offaly. Cork had a taller and bigger team than Offaly too in the final 3 years ago ok." Size of fight in the dog had been a more serious missing ingredient in recent Galway u20 sides, than any issues with the size of the dogs in the fight.

Replying To Seanfan: "A deal negotiated by Sinn Féin among others." They negotiated in same way mouse negotiates with cobra. With the mouse being the cobra's pet.
All those informers in Belfast had game sown up before the ball was thrown in.

I do think should have 8 not 6 or maybe 9 but hurling same or worse how some of players got in ahead of others was ridiculous

Replying To Seanfan: "Are ye Galway bucks worried that yer losing JHC and IHC finals to clubs from non hurling Counties??" No we are not sorry. Both Galway Teams played the Senior Champions of other counties, neither from Roscommon. Toreen a very strong club and they would hold their own if they played in the Galway Championship. Best of luck to them.
