Peter Canavan hasn't ripped up his RTE contract and is appearing on an Allianz titled programme. How does that square with his protest?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think we will still go up if we win our last two games so tonight's result may not matter too much. I'm hoping that McHugh had his eye on that scenario and heavy loaded training this week. Otherwise it's a worrying result. We will have a better idea of the players when the chips are down these last two games now that they really matter. It's win or bust! It's great scoring at will against the bottom team last week but now we will learn who can step up or not!

What a win for CBS - superb game from start to finish. Thought Masterson, O'Brien, Ormsby, Moloney and Scahill were absolutely outstanding. Byrne and McWade were very impressive too. Serious finish to a cracking game - Scahill must've hit 11 or 12 points and set up the goal to kill it off at the end.
In fairness, O'Rourke and the Abbey's number 12 were excellent as well. Roll on Paddy's Day - fair play to CBS, and great to see the students and teachers out in force supporting the team on a Saturday in Dublin.

Replying To Bluelake: "Tomorrow night is a real potential banana skin. Laois been a bit inconsistent although they beat Sligo comfortably who we were fortunate to beat" The lack of proper training facilities is really coming home to roost. I fear for the hurlers tomorrow. Laois will drag them into a physical battle.

Replying To letsgetgoing: "Unlike Mayo, nobody in Roscommon is getting carried away in Roscommon. We are just delighted to have unexpectedly won a few league matches. We are 66/1 and 70/1 for the All Ireland for God's sake.
1. Mayo supporters have backed Mayo down to 7/1 for the All Ireland
2. Ye all went bananas after Kolb ( great footballer) got a few scores against a beaten Monaghan team.
3. Mayo supporters all voted for Jordan Flynn as Gaa player of the week who kicked 4 scores (5 points) out of total of 2-30. Jason McGee performed better for Donegal last weekend than Jordan Flynn. Daire Cregg kicked 1-7 (1-5 from play) against a strong Galway team in a very competitive match in dire conditions last Saturday night.
All the evidence is that there is only one county losing the run of themselves.
PS. Do you really have to reply to all posters in different counties with negative comments. I do not think you represent Mayo supporters very well." That poster doesn't represent Mayo at all Letsgetgoing.

Replying To LongfordgaaAbú: "There is a strong hint of 'If we can't do everything we should do nothing' about many of the remarks here. There is a very specific difference between say Allianz and Amazon versus other companies involved in GAA activity... Allianz and Amazon are explicitly cited in the UN report linking them to material complicity in what was/is happening in Gaza.
Those protesting Allianz are perfectly legitimate in doing so IMO, and should also protest Amazon's involvement too. If that offends you, don't join the protest. But to try and de-legitmise it by making a 'let those without sin...' argument seems to me an excuse never to do anything unless it solve everything. You can't make any progress with that mindset." Politics should be kept out of of sport end of. Allianz also insures Air lingus ye gonna stop flying with them for your holiers? Doubt it .
And the protest yesterday was a dusgrace and people actually got injured. What did they achieve by it ? Absolutely nothing pathetic !

Replying To Mattyreilly: "Was wallace an injured last night" Wally and mattie Whittaker both came off injured last night. Wally looked like hamstring. Mattie took a dangerous high hit in the first half and never really recover. He looked in severe discomfort. Laois were really aggressive but deserved to win last night. They won all the key duels and could have scored more goals. Our biggest problem was a lack of pocession. The next 2 games will be tough with all the injuries mounting now but are winnable.

Even from us iv seen Enda Diarmuid and Ultan do as much in championship at around same age as Kobe is now. A lot of pressure on his young shoulders. Too much hopefully he can stay injury free" Haha yeah a full 7 pages. Tell us another one

Incredible win by CBS! They just never give up or panic. Players have full faith in the plan and it worked yet again. The whole team was immense but the way Scahill stepped into those two pointers was something else. You could write something about every starter and sub who came on. Brilliant to see and they are one game away from an all Ireland medal. Well done to management and the school aswell.

It's time for players two dig in i would definitely change it up and bring in Conor McCormack let it be midfield our centre forward he can unlock defenders with his range of passing also we able kick 2 pointers. Also start Bardon Kelly as a inside forward and would take pressure of Luke and give us a real chance. Hopefully some of the lads that are injured will be ready to come back in . Tadhg Baker has been badly missed as his reading of games and time management is excellent.

Replying To galwayford: "Unfortunately Rugby is massive in Ireland now. We are a rugby nation now. One of the leading ones. Along with New Zealand. Every weekend people are watching and talking about say the 6 nations. Or even now the Heineken cup. I am GAA. But we are second fiddle now. Along with Irish football. Irish football has shot itself in the foot with failing to boycott Israel. It will struggle to beat Czechia in Prague in world cup qualifier because of it. Israel match is the focus, sad to say." "Irish football has shot itself in the foot with failing to boycott Israel"
I know you are not a teenager but that's what I think everytime when I read simplistic comments like this.
100% I would LOVE to see Israel punished and a massive global boycott of them for what they've done in Gaza but let's be real and fully grown up here.
To begin with, if Ireland refused to play against Israel in the forthcoming games they would be SEVERELY SANCTIONED by FIFA. Probably they would be banned from competing at any level in FIFA competitions for several years. It is absolutely certain that the FAI would be heavily fined. Whatever income they get at the moment would be slashed to nothing and Irish football would be driven back to the stone age.
The USA regards Israel as its greatest and most important ally. Politically it exalts its relationship with Israel above all others... it doesnt matter anymore whether it's the Dems or the Republicans , Israel is number one with them and far ahead of any others. And there has never been an American president to support Israel come what may more than Donald Trump.
Just look at the case of Drogheda Utd. It has been widely reported in the mainstream media that the US company that owns Drogheda Utd are reviewing their investment following recent calls within the club for a boycott of Israel.
This is a microcosm of what could and probably would happen to Irish soccer if a boycott was instigated.
We live in a world of Realpolitik. Israel has enormous influence in the USA , a multiplicity of times more than we as a nation think we have and they can and will use it against us if we were to move beyond virtue signalling. The Irish government know that, the FAI hierarchy know that and so do the GAA authorities in Croke Park.
