Replying To Saynothing: "Do Ireland need to up their percentage of their GDP budget on defence? At the minute it's 0.2 percentage. The Vatican City is likely higher." Only time they ever had to defend Irish people was in 1969 and they failed miserably, as you know only too well!

I logged in to post a once-off match prediction. I went looking for views on the match, I noticed a few incentive comments being sent in the direction of an unfortunate poster it seems. The sender should stand back and have a look at the post he is about to send. As a past poster I wasn't encouraged to post here either.

Replying To Matthew: "How would O'Toole be back when he has moved to Oz and is working there. Same as Sam Duncan…
A very tough opening three games. The team are training very hard will be well prepared for the league. There will be a few new faces as is normal for any new season. Hopefully they can learn to close out tight games next season as otherwise they have learnt nothing from last season!" Perhaps we're not all following ronan o tooles working arrangements as closely as you are and are curious about his return. People can come back from these places fyi

Fully agree Jobber, we have very tough fixtures in the early rounds and arguably our easiest games are the last two matches. Not sure how anyone would think we are certs to get promotion? We lost to Wicklow twice in successive championships

Replying To Scenicparish: "I often wonder how the majority of people in America vote for Trump as President but posters like you make it all make sense......" That is some attempt to crowbar rugby with American politics. Well done you. But it doesn't even make any sense

Replying To ExiledInWex: "The level of support for Wexford clubs in Leinster competitions is not replicated in many other counties. People in Dublin, Kilkenny, Tipp and for sure Galway don't support their clubs like Wexford do.
Best of luck to St. Martins later and Davidtown tomorrow." Galway clubs in the allireland series might not have the support of their closest rival clubs, but that would still leave them 'supported' by 95%+ of the Galway GAA community.

Congrats to St Martin's on a fantastic win in a great game. It was fully deserved. They showed great character to come back and win it at the death after Ballyhale went a point up near the end. Looking forward to the all-Ireland semi-finals - all 4 teams will fancy their chances.

Replying To LongBall94: "An update to the Leitrim panel for 2026. There may be future additions but at the moment this is where we stand.
From what I'm hearing the guts of the boys who have been asked in have committed and have been training in the last few weeks .
This automatically means we have a far stronger squad then last year.
Saying all that theres still no Jack Gilheany, Jack Foley, David Bruen, Pearce Dolan, Mark Plunkett, Darragh Rooney, Keith Beirne etc. And Donal Casey has a long term injury. No word on Niall Walsh as of yet.
That leaves us without Casey and Foley who were our 2 best defenders in a struggling defence last year.
Gilheaney would start at 6 but isn't commiting, unfortunately. Theres some loose talk that Bruen may be home early in the new year. That would be huge.
We're really going to struggle defensively from what I can see. I don't see a number 3 or 6 ready made for Inter county football.
You would hope that Poachers system and style of football can cover us defensively and then our talented forward line can see us through games." Radek Oberwan has to be your 6 if your Steven poacher, he's ideal for the role and is a fantastic footballer. There's plenty of options to pair up with Barry mcnulty in the middle, but for me Radek has to be at centre back

Replying To Pope_Benedict: "You haven't set the bookmaker odds so. I see Loughrea 11/5 versus Slaughtneil 10/1 for the title." Bookies set odds to make a profit whatever the result. That depends on betting patterns, not on how likely either side is actually to win the game. Obviously they are seeing, or foreseen, alot of money for Loughrea.
Don't get me wrong, Loughrea looked very good, and could win the AI out. Slaughtneil knocking on that door for a good few years too though.

Replying To jobber: "Always played or not always played.I am clearly saying that at least one of the teams in this weekends final could not have played junior B whilst the intermediate championship was ongoing. Contradict me with facts and then I could agree it's disrespectful but otherwise you have to agree the board is trying to help everyone" You keep mentioning Turin, when I'd imagine Ringtown, Delvin, Plunketts, the Wood, Brigids, Daltons & Southern Gaels would've had similar problems. Turin could field a Junior B team every year when it was played alongside the Intermediate championship, that's a fact. Turin have had a good influx of players coming from underage to adult in the last 2 years, also a fact, so their numbers have grown (31 on their Intermediate final panel). Intermediate clubs entering a team in junior only have to name 10 while senior clubs, similar in size to Intermediate clubs have to name 12, also a fact. You're basically saying that Turin held up the junior B because of a numbers issue. And I can guarantee you, if you asked any club in the junior (A or B) when they'd like to play, they'd tell you during the summer months. I'll leave you with this fact, a Turin man told me they would have played junior during the summer as they had a number of players who went months without any meaningful games, and some them lads will only be playing their second competitive game of 2025 tomorrow.
