Replying To farneygael3: "Who'd back against Scotstown at least reaching an All Ireland club this year? What teams would you fear in Ulster??" based on the last 30 plus years, i think you would find plenty that would back against them reaching the semi... If you think the derry, tyrone champions or kilcoo (who schooled them last year) would fear the untitled parishes... think again... barstool talk in moynas doesn't win ulster titles...

Replying To countymonaghan: "I clearly said depending on Intermediate results. You must be from a town team that ain't going so well you are very defensive on this whole thing.
Scotstown, Clontibret, Inniskeen, Maghercloone, Corduff, Cremartin, Truagh, Latton are all villages.
And yes I clearly said 'populated' areas. So more to pick from.. It is up to them to make it a good environment and make it appealing to their people to stay and join and stick with their club." What Orielman means is that it is impossible for there not be a town team promoted as one of Carrick, Blayney and harps are guaranteed to go up.

Replying To SixtiesKid: "Dreadful weather promised Saturday night. Hurling under lights in the pouring rain What a way to promote hurling. Are we mad?
The split season, which Galway has so adamantly supported was supposed, to increase the chances of playing games in better conditions. Nothing has improved" Just as well there's a fine big stand in Salthill which will keep the patrons dry. Most would be drenched if it was in Athenry. I do agree with you that the county board are to blame for the poor weather forecast on the weekend. It's one of the biggest scandals I can remember in Galway GAA. Although, they've done well over the past 2 weeks on that front, with two very dry weekends. I'm pretty sure most rounds of the championship have been played on dry weekends actually. Have we gone soft in Galway, giving about the threat of rain? We definitely need to develop more hurlers from west of the Corrib if that's the case. They're well used to the rain.

The split season, which Galway has so adamantly supported was supposed, to increase the chances of playing games in better conditions. Nothing has improved" It's mid October...in our climate the chances are that we'll have bad weather rather than good for our county semi finals and final. I dont know what better solution you can think of apart from moving the semi finals to Lanzarote or the Costa Del Sol? Do you think we should run off the county championship in August and September? Well then we would have to go back to the old style straight knockout competition. Our county champions wont play their All Ireland semi final til mid-November (let's campaign for Lanzarote for that one!) so if the final was being played now or earlier it would be too long a gap and would hamper their chances of reaching the All Ireland final. Of course from now on, with senior club reduced to 16 teams, there will be the possibility of playing the final around now or possibly earlier in October and entering our county champions in the Leinster club championship though I wouldnt be an advocate of that myself. But certainly they would need to take part in a provincial championship if the county championship was to be run off any earlier than it currently is.

Ideal scenario would be that our senior and intermediate championship group games (which give everyone a very good chance of progressing to knock-out) should start 2 weeks after our senior county hurlers/footballers (whoever lasts longest) are knocked out of AI contention. OK, clubs may be missing a few lads in US (but will hopefully have enough in the tank to make KO), but it gets the ball rolling and increases chances of games being played in better weather.

Replying To Commodore: "Well maybe these FF/FG should do an audit with how many hospital bed we will need on average for the next 30 years and how many staff we need to man those beds, and order the Department of Education to get their fingers out. Its almost as if they don't want to fix things.
Then again, this is the same FF/FG Political team who build the World's most expensive hospital on private land owned by a Convent or Order of nuns, and instead of compulsory purchase, they supposedly opted to pay rent for eternity. They also are responsible for building the worlds most expensive bicycle shed at €365k, which I could have done for a fraction of that price." You'd need to recheck some of them false comments.

How in Gods name would they ever know how many hospital beds they will need when they haven't a clue how many people will be in the country. The Irish Government is reactive not proactive and in been reactive I mean they're about 15 years behind in everything they do.

Replying To tommyc: "What's peoples thoughts on SFC final on Sunday. I have seen Leitrim Gaels once ( v St Marys) and Bmore twice this year ( v St Mary's and Fenagh draw). Very little between the teams as far as I can see. Bmore possibly a better balanced team and have the experience. Leitrim have the Jones and an unknown wow factor. I have a slight suspicion the experience of Bmore might carry the day but what a day it would be if LG cud do it" it'd be an empty enough victory to be honest if the Leitrim Gaels do it. it would always be remembered as being won by the Jones's. everyone has to be honest and say they wouldn't be there without the Jones lads,
and as a Leitrim GAA supporter i hope Ballinamore win for the credibility of Leitrim GAA.

Honestly theres no end to the end of complaining from some people. I went to the Football double header last weekend big crowd of 6.5K . Good atmosphere added with the lights , two good games .
I was looking forward to this weekends action even more but some of the posts here are depressing! One did anybody complain about All Ireland Semi Finals under lights? no . Toms beat Ballygunner under lights , beat O Loughlins under lights . Jesus we were long enough without lights and people complained , now we have them and more complaints
Just go to the games and enjoy them! Its going to be wet , but thats life!
And final thing , Players love to play on a Saturday night , so please nobody start saying ohhh we shouldnt have a County Final on a Saturday ! For once think of the players .
Rant Over!
