Replying To peiledoir20: "Blames everything on October 7th but doesn't ask himself how it was allowed to happen on the doorstep of the world's most protected country and informed army. Like the rest of them." Yes you'd have to think that Israel knew about Oct 7th in advance, so that they'd have the opportunity to come down like a ton of bricks in 'retaliation' . The Trump window of opportunity was too inviting.

Thats not why I posted we wont ever agree, why I posted that is you are obviously pro Palestinian and pro Arab, whereas Im not pro either of them. And there's nothing either of us are going to post on this subject that will change that." I'm not obviously anything. Stop making assumptions. I'm neither. Like most decent people I'm pro human. That's the long and the short of it. Between destruction, starvation and genocide. I could go on but it is well documented at this stage.
What Israel have inflicted on Gaza for the past two and half years is as in-humane as you can get.
You'll often hear them through out the line 'Never Again', but they are happy enough to inflcit it.

Replying To Freethinker: "I have a question which possibly some of the Trumpites on here might have some answers. If we are to believe POTUS, the war is won, as per his criticism to Starmer. He says everything in Iran is " out", navy, air force and communications. Now, if all this is to be believed, then who is responsible or how are these drones and missiles being sprayed all across the Middle East from Iran with amazing accuracy ?" And also, with their superior technology and military prowess, how was a school hit which killed 180 young girls?

Replying To Doylerwex: "We were in first until 50 odd minutes. We had lots and lots of chances to turn that." I think we were watching a different game. I understand that you may have rose tinted glasses on but that was a very poor wexford performance. There were a lot of players on that pitch that were sub par. Fanning is an excellent goal keeper and Simon Roche is excellent. I think you are clutching at straws after that. Clare didnt need to be any better than good. Maybe it was a bad day at the office. Is Mcdonald retired?

Replying To sponger: "How can we be behind Donegal in the table, when we have just beaten them ??" Just checked the latest table. We are now second to Roscommon. Roscommon have 9 pts. We and Donegal have 8 pts and we have a slightly better scoring. Think we have 2 games left. All to play for still and Bosco won't be getting ahead of himself

Replying To galway19: "Handiest game of the league so far. Even the Offaly game was far tougher than tonight. We should be lobbying Derek Lyng to start that half back line of Deegan, Blanchfield and Corcoran again in the championship - not an ounce of pace between them." Dont get carried away when it matters they will turn up .
Wouldnt get too cocky.

Replying To eddieSize5Balls: "Not saying to get rid of it but i don't think wining an ulster and not winning an all Ireland can be seen as a success anymore under this current team and manager. It's all Ireland or bust for Jim I think. This could be his last year as coach too. Hope not but I don't think he will stick around too long again." Where would he be going? he's hardly going back to try soccer again, Donegal is the perfect job for him, I hope he stays for the next 20 years.
I'd rather we focused on the All Ireland but we are going for 3 Ulster's in a row, I suppose if we do that it sets us up full of confidence again heading into the All Ireland series. Think provincial winners get a better draw too but I haven't a clue how the new set up is going to work, just read that somewhere.

Carlow hurling has given us some unbelievable days in the last 20 years. I'll never forget beating Wexford in leinster minor Q/t final in 2006 & Offaly in semi.
Winning back to back Christy ring cups in 2008 & 2009
Christy ring again in 2017
Joe Mac against Westmeath in 2018
Drawing with Galway in league in 2019
Beating Offaly in relegation final in 2019
Beating Offaly in Joe Mac final in 2023
Drawing with Kilkenny in Leinster Championship in 2024
Beating Waterford in league in 2025
I was lucky to be at all of the above & them lads have given us unreal service. I'm not here to write them off as I firmly believe if we get all our players fit & out on duty we will give the Joe Mac as massive cut this year. But but eventually all good things come to an end & we are not producing the same calibre of player to replace these lads so when they gone we will realise how good we had it for a time. Heads up lads & give the Joe Mac an almighty push. You owe us nothing

Replying To Fionn: "Massive win for the Dublin Hurlers on Sat night Barney. FT 6-32 to 0-18
To have 50pts scored and a clean sheet is a good nights work,
12 different scorers and Hedger top scored with 2-03, closely followed by Purcell with 1-05.
Massive swing in our points difference.
Next up Carlow. Hell of a win for Kildare over them.
With that Clare v Wexford result, we are nearly there regards Promotion.
Hopefully Kenny hasn't injured his hamstring too badly. He made a big impression when he came on as a sub." If they lose to Carlow they might as well give up. No harm to Carlow who have gone back a lot which is sad to see,
Kenny was brilliant underage but similarly plagued with injuries. Hopefully he won't be out too long.
The ability to get goals is a big difference and might be telling come the championship. Good test against Clare in final be nice preparation for that. Clare were very much as half strength on paper but have strong panel and there were lots of lads fighting for a starting spot against Waterford so they'll possibly do similar against ourselves. Winning the final be great but main objective achieved. Barring some disaster!

I am not sure if it's about Kilkenny "turning up" anymore.
They simply do not have the talent of years past. This could be famous last words, but even with the lads still to come back, I don't think they are as talented as Galway. Lawlor was such a huge piece for them and it does not sound like he will come back from Oz at all this year
