Well done to our neighbours in Westmeath - well deserved win. Hard luck to our neighbours in Cavan, just not your day. Great to see the scenes in Mullingar after, showed how important winning a major national title is to second tier counties. As for Spillanes word salad afterwards... let's just say it's a blessing that he is moving on. Disappointing that RTE didn't show the presentation and that the GAA President didn't present the cup. HQ might want to tighten up on those things for next time. The competition lives or dies on the respect it is given. LongfordgaaAbú (Longford) - Posts: 471 - 10/07/2022 15:26:36 2431056 Link
Replying To an_cearrbhach: "Agreed, the Cavan player was already committed for a shoulder and there was no intent, Westmeath player fumbled the ball and changed his whole body shape as a result, it looked worse in slow motion but in real time never in a million years was it a red, a yellow card and get on with it..." It was a straight red card. No question. Cavan only have themselves to blame, no team will win games defending like that. Cavan_Shambles (Cavan) - Posts: 575 - 10/07/2022 16:01:42 2431064 Link
Straight red all day long. Referee was fine. Cavan's defending wasn't. Cavan_Shambles (Cavan) - Posts: 575 - 10/07/2022 16:02:47 2431065 Link
The former GAA President did present cup, nice gesture by Larry McCarthy. Some people never happy. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1492 - 10/07/2022 16:19:23 2431078 Link
Poor ould Cavan. They managed to leave it after them again. Fair play to Westmeath. Overall, a fine football game. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 1912 - 10/07/2022 17:45:08 2431111 Link
Congratulations Westmeath. Thoroughly deserving winners. Winning goal was young fella in back garden stuff. Dreamland. Backheel (Leitrim) - Posts: 133 - 10/07/2022 20:04:57 2431170 Link
Exciting final and well done westmeath. I'd of loved if it was my own county up there. For anyone giving out about it I think young ó tooles interview after said it all. Everyone dreams of winning matches and cups in croke park. To move forward I would love to see it played on the same weekend as all Ireland as some poster had up before. Play the Tailteann and junior or minor on the Saturday and senior on the Sunday. Make it the all Ireland weekend. I think it's a trick the gaa missing and something the lgfa have really hit the bullseye with. Most if not all teams bought into it this year and need that to continue.

Replying To 45onthe52: "Unfortunate how it played out but he made contact with the head of course he has to go.. and if had been a Westmeath player I'd have said the same!" Decision by Meath linesman as Cassidy was on the wrong side to see. If o'Toole was hit with force then he wouldn't have been raising his arms and looking back at ref for a foul. Stupid tackle Yes...reckless with intent to injure No.....compare the red with O'Shea two footed lunge.....one foot in the mid rift and the second connecting with the head.....no card no ticking.......explain what the difference was in both decisions......Cavan Westmeath played sportingly.....Dublin Kerry fouls play before game even started ExiledCuCu (Cavan) - Posts: 226 - 10/07/2022 21:21:53 2431206 Link
The difference was that O' Se played the ball as he was entitled to do. Galligan didn't play the ball, hit his opponent in the head which invariably is a red card, every Cavan supporter in my vicinity immediately feared the worst. Westmeath were the better team for 50-55 mins and deserved win. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1492 - 11/07/2022 08:21:41 2431230 Link

Kerry penalty , ball was free , OShea entitled to go for it. Correct call again. Breffni1969 (Cavan) - Posts: 510 - 11/07/2022 08:32:14 2431233 Link
So all and all the first year was a success. The naysayers will of course disagree and try and find reasons as to why it wasn't. Interesting to note the ones who had the most to say about it before it started have been nowhere to be seen since. I wonder why.... oneoff (UK) - Posts: 1380 - 11/07/2022 08:41:36 2431238 Link

You can't be serious? Cavan player took O Toole out running at full pace when the ball wasn't there. 100% red card. For O'Shea the ball popped out and O'Shea was well entitled to pull a boot on it. Yes his left foot followed through and collected with keepers head but the ref got it right. Free out Dublin and that's all it was.

If an Ulster player does it we would be looking at front page headlines today,calling for his head ala the young lad from Ar.magh. seamusorinn (USA) - Posts: 295 - 11/07/2022 10:14:57 2431273 Link

Westmeath were the better team for 50-55 mins and deserved win." Galligan was a red, O Shea wasn't even a foul. I think the red card was the decisive factor. After all Cavan were 3 points up at that stage and had momentum. Well done Westmeath, nothing between the teams on the day really. Both should be vying for promotion next year, here's hoping we have a League final between the two next year to look forward to. BreffniGael (Cavan) - Posts: 46 - 11/07/2022 10:22:11 2431277 Link
Next year should be interesting in both the Sam Maguire and Tailteann Cup. 4 groups of 4 in both. 1 home, 1 away and 1 neutral game. Every team is guaranteed 7 league games, 1 provincial game and 3 group games. It should be time to get on with the game! legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7847 - 11/07/2022 10:37:04 2431284 Link
Definite red card even blue tinted glasses could not turn it into a yellow and was a reckless and stupid tackle galligan himself knew he was in serious trouble straight away. breffnibluewhite (Cavan) - Posts: 454 - 11/07/2022 10:44:57 2431290 Link
Galligan's red was the correct call and Sean O'Shea was well entitled to go for the ball so absolutely once again the correct call. Wee done to the officials on 2 good decisions and well done to Westmeath on a well deserved win.. dec (None) - Posts: 269 - 11/07/2022 11:01:39 2431296 Link

Main question on Westmeath and Cavan now is can they kick on. Both at the very least should be playing Div 2 football and challenging for promotion. How Cavan found themselves drop to Div 4 was ridiculous and it was very poor by Westmeath that they allowed Louth,Limerick earn promotion to Div 2 instead of them.
