Replying To Dazzler30: "Men against boys in the under 20 its a young squad hopefully can bounce back. Louth are really motoring well underage and senior have the house in order long time ago and its showing now." There was a stark difference in how they were moving, they seemed physically so far ahead. We have to beat Dublin now to advance it would seem. Beating just Wexford which will be extremely difficult won't be enough. It must be said there are 7 starters missing from that U20 team from what I was told last night, there are three from Tubberclair in Bourke, Staunton and O'Connor, Curran from Moate, Geary from Athlone, Ryan Kelly from Shamrocks and Conor Callaghan from Kinnegad. All seven of these are in their last year and have played adult championship for their club. The younger Whittaker looked promising when he came on. I think the question again that must be raised is the fact U18s cannot play adult football until they are 19. I think 8 or 9 of the team would not have played for their clubs above underage yet and then the step up is massive.

Replying To Mooo: "Give them a chance they'll be a lot stronger nextyear..louth had 11 of last year's lenister winning team playing last night so they ought to be a lot stronger than us" That would mean that a very young louth team last year were able for it so.

Replying To sponger: "Seanie....
I thought it was not until Good Friday /Easter Sunday that people came back from the dead !!!!!!!!!!!
Going to find somewhere to lie down now." Great observation. It's a great great result. It proves that there is a never say die spirit in that camp, long missing in our big ball players. 2026 will live long in hurling memories

Replying To yew_tree: "Not my intention, you misinterpreted my post by adding 2+2 and getting 5. Let's say any county screws up in a big game everyone comes down hard on that team. They are fellow Gaels and amateurs with full time jobs. Yet when a professional team looses we use every excuse possible to give them a free pass. I'm not anti soccer far from it. The rugby media and public fawning is worse for a team many of whom aren't even Irish and have failed repeatedly at the World Cup." Its not about the professional or amateur status, Republic of Ireland squads only get limited time together to collectively train, most of them aren't used to playing together and that takes time to build, like they don't know which runs certain team-mates might make.
GAA squads train together for months or years, they might be amateur, but they probably train as much as professionals.
Now for our player who conceded that penalty that brought it back to 2-1, he should get a kick up the arse, because even amateur players would know better in a high profile game that to do petty stuff like that.

Replying To sponger: "And it also shows what is ahead of us next year.
As you said, the lads never gave up." Yes indeed. Next year will be a massive step up.
