Replying To Iakecounty90: "The meta or X AI algorithm more likely!" Looks more like the other draw posts are "sponsored" ie paid for, and ours isn't. Jack_Sparrow (Westmeath) - Posts: 1037 - 27/04/2025 22:17:49 2604803 Link
Replying To Claretandblue: "No, county board have decided not to apply for any grants or funding from Leader, Leinster Council, Croke Park, Govt. Ministers locally or the Capital Sports Fund. Any more nonsensical questions?" Yeah where's the extended roof we were promised for Cusack park in 2014 that was supposed to cover the entire stand side with a new commentary box and was meant to be completed by 2016??

Shocker in Garrycastle tonight. Everybody in the stand had lomans won by 2 except for the referee who had garrycastle by a point Bluelake (Westmeath) - Posts: 247 - 29/04/2025 21:30:37 2605529 Link

St Loman's are hovering dangerously above the bottom, but with only two games left, they'll need points fast. Remaining Fixtures for Teams in Relegation Danger: St Loman's Mullingar: Caulry, Moate Shandonagh: Garrycastle, Athlone, Kinnegad Athlone: Shamrocks, Shandonagh, Tyrrellspass Tyrrellspass: Caulry, Athlone, The Downs Plenty of twists still to come, with several relegation six-pointers ahead. BlueLake, could your beloved Loman's really be heading for Division 2 football in 2026? Temple56 (Westmeath) - Posts: 547 - 30/04/2025 10:39:52 2605602 Link

However, they did actually win that match last night and would be safe so I find it hard to be critical Bluelake (Westmeath) - Posts: 247 - 30/04/2025 12:31:38 2605646 Link
Also well done to our under 20's last night. I know it was pre planned but it's strange to have a full round of league fixtures the same night as Westmeath in an under 20 final. Even if it's a secondary competition and we won it last year, we don't win much Bluelake (Westmeath) - Posts: 247 - 30/04/2025 12:35:30 2605648 Link
Anyone recommend any good cheap hostels near McGovern Park in London. Fighting-Cocks69 (Westmeath) - Posts: 77 - 30/04/2025 13:54:27 2605677 Link
Decent draw, home to Antrim, away to London and neutral venue vs Limerick, probably likely to be Portlaoise? Should be topping the group really, Hopefully we take it as seriously as last time, winning it out is the easiest ticket into Sam. iarmhi_an_mhaith (Westmeath) - Posts: 279 - 30/04/2025 17:28:12 2605800 Link

Sympathies to the family and all in Killucan/Raharney on the passing of Stephen 'Busby' Gorman. A truly passionate club man and Westmeath supporter may his soul rest in peace. Chops (Westmeath) - Posts: 802 - 01/05/2025 10:38:51 2605954 Link
Replying To Westmeath fan: "I see the official result on the Westmeath website has Lomans winning by 2 so seems the referee must have got it right after." Very strange. Heard from a Garrycastle person they were told in injury time by the ref they were 4 points ahead. They tried to hold on for the win, Lomans kicked a two pointer to bring it back to two points. Ref said after the game Garrycastle by 2 points. Temple56 (Westmeath) - Posts: 547 - 01/05/2025 13:26:15 2606023 Link

Referees need more help from GAA, the ref had 3 umpires no linesmen, how is he supposed to watch everything and keep the score and time, no wonder he got the score wrong. He was depending on the opposition to watch if each team had the required number of players back, The GAA needs to step up and give refs help.

I was not in attendance at the G'castle v Lomans game but my observations are as follows : The referee appears to have made a genuine mistake. He possibly awarded a score to G'castle that should have been awarded to Lomans. People make genuine mistakes . If the outcome is as it appears ( a two point win for Lomans ) then it a credit to all involved ( Referee, G'castle and Lomans ) for accepting the mistake and correcting the error. This is an example of how sport should be played. I wish all involved the very best going forward. loughree (Westmeath) - Posts: 75 - 01/05/2025 16:11:34 2606071 Link
