Replying To anotheralias: "Oh i would still be wary of our status. Our good neighbours flattered Kerry at the weekend. They are not that good.Armagh are a proper side, fighting for survival, at home, and i will be surprised if they dont win. Then its down to us and dublin have come out of the traps fast last 2 games. We are no world beaters and could easily lose by more than 4. Monaghan game was a bit of a schoolday for our newbies, who have had a very encouraging campaign over all, but they all struggled yesterday. We were carried through by savage perfomances by seasoned heads, kelly, maher, tierney,darcy were immense. Mchugh, glynn, finnerty in the 2nd half were excellent too, while flaherty, mcgrath, hernon mixed the good with the bad. Silke quiet enough. Conroy showed class when he came on. But we need some of the other experienced heads back to be seriously competitive, mcdaid , walsh, thompson. I dare not mention comer but i just have to. ...he is too good to completely discount even if its a 1% chance." Not that goid qho are galway say they arent kerry tend play better towards at end of league yes had blip vs galway but that can happem jeasus some galway supporters are delusional kerry can win all irelands and still call them not that good when galway win last one conparison to kerry.
If thats the case galway were poor vs monaghan letting 2 goals. Kerry better position than galway to win it this not that galway dont have chance but just find it laughable how you can call other teaks like kerry not thay good we see so later on.

Difference between kerry and galway nit that ye are bad ye are not is timing and consistentcy ye cant call kerry not that good when ye beat them in big in championship and win sam league game in feburary means zero look meath them in group stage but kerry came back and won it when needed.

Would I say Shane is ok? He might see game time on Sunday.

AA was afraid of Monaghan before last weekend, and on here preaching fear and trepidation about the fixture. Now they're trying to tell us that Kerry are 'not that good', while Armagh are 'a proper side'. If that's the case, it didn't look like it in 2025 when Kerry had a clean sweep, and it doesn't look like it on 2026 NFL results to date either. I wouldn't mind but AA tends to create the vibe that they have a certain expertise, when it comes to GAA football opinion.

Mayo are where I said they would be. In a chasing pack of 4 or 5 teams behind Kerry and Donegal. People are OTT with positivity and negativity.

Replying To totalrecall: "I wouldn't be reading too much into Sunday match in Hyde park reminded me very much of our trip to salthill last year. We managed better with the wind this time around but soon cheap turnovers and poor decision making cost us dearly. I thought mulreany did well against the elements but had a poor display with his kickout by his own standard with he wind. I would have liked to have seen mccahill get some game time with the wind. Alone had an impact when he came in. I was surprised no switch was made with mcgonagle who was second best for the duration against smith.
No doubt Kerry look the team for all seasons and their display on Saturday was easily the most impressive by any team so far this year." It's funny I'd say as soon as a manager knows that you're playing into the wind you'd love to make a change or two.. there was little joy for a forward playing into that wind and as you say it would have been nice for mccahill get a chance with the wind. it was possibly a planned sub from before the match. Mccahill will be busy over the next while with the 20s. Roarty might be used a little more sparingly with the 20s, a bit like last year.
The kickouts were a challenge in the second half. To my mind though Mulreanny should be given all the free kicks outside the 40 metre arc. That one langan missed should be given to mulreanny. It shouldn't even be a discussion.
Players got very tired near the end of that game and say unlike Galway there wasn't enough impact off the bench. Shane O'Donnell is big loss. I think he's such an under appreciated player. So much of the play goes through him. Then moores carrying ability and obaoills two pointers and Farrahs threat up front. For Donegal to be really competing at the business end they need pretty much all their players available.

Replying To Viking66: "Sorry that shouldve read Challenge Games, not League. Kilkenny will be decent in u20 this year." I don't think they will be decent at all this year. This years Galway group beat them out the gate at minor and I expect the same this year. The only reports on our challenge games in the last couple of weeks is that we gave Cork a trimming and beat Clare fairly well, and those were without our seniors. We've done nothing at u20 in Leinster last few years so there is a bit of pressure on them to win it and I think they will do it comprehensively

You were red hot favourites with this group for AI minor honours 3 years ago and didnt turn up on the day.

Pres faltered again, won't win anything when only two forwards functioning, Cahalan and Poniard carried the fight all through, Hannon good 1st half, Leen well closed down.
Kierans took over in last 10 minutes.

Replying To Seanfan: "A belated well done on securing Di1 football for 2027 with a heartwarming display of grit, character and skill yesterday.
You mention all the new lads used in the League.
Great to see and none of them looked out of place against the top teams in the Country (Dublin no show exception).
They'll have learned so much coming up against the top players.
I think we should go all out next week but maybe managementvmight want to give a run out to the lesser used players plus possibly Brian Stack." I agree that we should go all out to win next Sunday. I don't know when we last beat Mayo in the National League. A win would also put Roscommon in the League Final if Donegal or Kerry slip up. We have only ever won one Division 1 League title(1979). I think it would be a great experience for our young team to play Kerry or Donegal in a League Final in Croke Park. Well done to players and management on a very encouraging League campaign.
