Replying To Viking66:  "How do you achieve no demand? A massive wealth re-distribution programme in Irish society might reduce demand for heroine, but would likely in turn lead to more demand for cocaine.
And drink likely causes way more deaths than cannabis, should we ban it too? What about cigarettes? Sweets and sugar? Chips and other fatty foods?
The problem is human nature, and more specifically greed. Most things arent too harmful in moderation, but unfortunately moderation isnt something the average human is any good at."
Sweets, sugar etc are legal and sold by proper retailers.
Cocaine etc is totally transported and sold by out and out criminals who are kept in business by all who use their illegal products.

Replying To Dodgy_Pass:  "The size and pick of the opposition as increased considerably in Connacht in the intervening time whereas we're maybe only slightly up.

Schools like Summerhill and Claregalway college in A with maybe 300 odd footballing boys to pick from, vs Carrick CS with maybe 100, 150 odd.

Manor could indeed have moved up but there is no hard and fast rule on it and it's generally left to schools to grade in their own best interest.

No sense in moving up to B if you haven't the numbers or ability coming on consistently to replace what you've lost from 6th year the year before."
That would make sense in regards to the numbers.

I do wonder if we lack the ambition or want to be better sometimes to play at a higher level.

A load of guys leaving both times we got to division 3 at senior level being a prime example

Congrats to the KC ladies on winning a fifth all-Ireland in a row. Fantastic achievement!

Replying To 222:  "How did not Scotstown see that out. Terrible game managment and a man up. Maybe they'll nick in ET"
Rory. Most influential footballer in Monaghan, ever. Enjoy him. There will not be his like again.

Replying To Saynothing:  "Said it before about Kilcoo, they never get a hard game until they stroll through Down. Beat by a pile of older men. Well done Scotstown."
Previously they won or reached the All-Ireland final the current crop have now gone 4 years in a row without winning Ulster.

Daft tactics 1st half to play possession football and not shot at the goal for 20 minutes

All Ireland Senior club semi-finals

Roscommon v Monaghan
Kerry v Dublin

Wouldn't it be great to have the same senior intercounty semi-finals next July.

Brigid's v Scotstown should be played in a Leinster venue but for whatever a lot Roscommon teams play Ulster opposition in Ulster venues. Strokestown the latest getting brought up to Ballyshannon to face the Derry champions.

With that in mind I'm expecting Breffni park for brigid's v Scotstown

Replying To seanie08:  "Congratulations to Scotstown Rory Beggan the Hughes boys Mccarthy mccarron absolute warriors nothing stopping them going all the way they have the players"
Kieran Hughes was good tonight,as was McCarthy when introduced. Jack was anonymous in Ulster but good within Monaghan and young Murray too. But lads....
Rory. The best and most influential Monaghan gaa player (closely followed by Conor) EVER! And IMO Cluxton isn't in the same league for influence on a team.
He has won numerous games on his own for Monaghan and especially Scotstown over the years. It's reminiscent of Maradona (showing my age!) in 1986-89 for Argentina and Napoli. Never since have I seen one man drag teams to victory singlehandedly so many times. 11 points from him tonight!! 11 points from GK! Masks a lot of deficiencies in that Scotstown team. Closest thing to a one man team in Monaghan GAA ever.There's no tactics or strategies needed with that man in the team(luckily enough because Scotstown were very poor on the line again tonight). We're lucky he's from Monaghan. Scotstown are blessed he's from there. LEGEND

Replying To yew_tree:  "Measeles cases up 140% in the US. What a great job this administration is doing. Hats off to RFK jr."
They're up in Europe/Britain, Canada, etc too. And BTW RFK has endorsed the Measles vaccine. But keep trying I need a good laugh.

Replying To farneygael3:  "Certainly won't be Breffni. Cavan play Monaghan Saturday 3rd so it's not going to be a doubleheader. And given the time of year, you couldn't fix it for the Sunday for fear it's cut to pieces the day before. So it's not an option"
Breffni Park is top and well draining surface nowadays so shouldn't cut up like some other surfaces. If Cavan GAA decide to protect it then Longford GAA will likely do the same as they are playing Westmeath in Pearse Park on the Saturday 3rd in O Byrne cup.

@Seanfan I'll be surprised if it's not set for Sunday and to clash with out FBD opener v Leitrim in Elphin.
