Very poor form that the All Ireland Minor final is scheduled for 7:30 in Armagh this Saturday, doesn't give many people a chance to go and support both teams. Not often we get to underage All Ireland Finals, they deserve our support.

Replying To westmeathgaa11: "Another own goal by the county board. Give the players some certainty, less than a month away now…
You wouldn't mind if both options kept hurling and football on the same weekends for both options 1 & 2, that way at least players could plan the next 4-5 months of their life" Last Wednesday morning 8 division 1 clubs were told there last round of games were being moved from Friday night to Saturday night. 2 days notice they were given. All because one club wanted to change, the same club that wanted the championship format changed and got there way. All games had to be played at the same time. I heard both Athlone, Garrycastle and Kinnegad objected to the change of day but went too CCCC and were denied. Both Athlone and Garrycastle had weaken times due to alot of the players having other commitments. It didn't matter to Garrycastle but there heavy loss to Moate kept Moate up. While Athlone lost and got relegated. Another own goal. The said team got the result needed and stayed up.

Replying To ColmFlaherty: "Will Ryan Taylor and/or Mark Rodgers be back for Clare against Dublin. I'd think Cian O'Sullivan probably won't be back for Dublin.
Regards for Cork, I think most people know their current situation." Crummy and rushe probably doubtful too. On the other hand, eoghan o donnell and Sean currie looked sharp when brought on . O donnell will surely start.
For clare Rodgers should be well recovered .

Replying To backtooldwall: "I expect a big Westmeath support in Salthill on Sunday seeing the game is sold out,The normal Galway following of 3 to 6 or 7 thousand will be greatly outnumbered.Lets hope they don't have too great an influence on the result." 15k of the tickets sold are Westmeath supporters apparently, Matk McHugh in fairness to him has that county believing again, if Westmeath was playing Galway last year you'd be lucky to see 2k Westmeath Supporters turning up to Salthill.

Replying To PolicemanFox: "Big game experience? A force in the coming years. Being hearing this type of stuff for years.
All this experience and whatever is for some vague time in the future.
What about last year's big game experience, and last month's and last fortnight's? It should be paying off now.
Monaghan aren't really in transition. 12 of the 15 who started against Donegal in last year's quarter-final and 4 of the subs who came on are still very much involved and I think 14 played against Mayo at some stage. If there hadn't been injuries to O'Hanlon, Kelly, and Mohan that number would have been higher and if Lavelle and Gallagher had been available last year they probably would have played against Donegal too.
Every team brings a few players through each year if they can, so what?
The major question for Monaghan is getting to the next level:
Leading the 2025 All-Ireland quarter final last year by 7pts at halftime and letting it slip.
Losing the 2026 Ulster final in extra time.
Losing by a point to Mayo with home advantage.
The problem is winning these big games and Monaghan's record against teams outside Ulster is poor. The last two Mayo and Galway championship games being an example. Close games but Monaghan on the wrong side.
If they lose to Roscommon it'll just be another Monaghan nearly season.
The talent is clearly there and Monaghan need to be winning these types of games. Now, not next year." Start going to games lad, and not just be reciting the old tired pundit's nonsense. In a very short time we have had to replace the Hughes, Karl, Drew, Kieran Duffy, McManus,, Carey, Kelly,and a few others. Time takes time, and true football men know the score.

Replying To BarneyGrant: "Politics in Ireland should not be confined by British imposed institutions like Stormont.
Withdrawing from Westminster was considered a "daft idea" before 1916. I suppose you think they were all "daft" as well?" Times are different now and your comparison is not fair and well you know it.

Replying To SouthGalway: "I'm still grappling with the format so I have a question: the loser of Galway v Westmeath are they out of it? Or some other back door?" Loser is still in it. Has a game against the winners of the losers round being played this weekend.
Easiest way to think of it is, two wins you're in the quarters, two losses you're out.

Replying To monaghanmad: "On what basis are they are better side than Derry and Mayo? Yes they beat Mayo in a game that wasn't knockout and then fluffed at home V a poor Tyrone side. They are a middle of the road outfit who do a lot of talking about how good they are. We have all seen this from Roscommon before, talk the talk and then fall the fall.
Past players out the in the media talking about how they should be all Ireland semi finalists, I am hearing this for years now and they same men continue to fluff it, what has changed really?
Be under no illusion, if we take them down the stretch they will revert to what they always have been. Its a matter of getting them down the stretch." Pin this nonsense to the dressing room wall!
