I don't know who is more sickened by Galways brilliant performance and the unbelievable job of the Management and players - Wexford lads, Dublin Lads, Cork lads, or Loughrea lads!

Replying To CTGAA10:  "One match I'm actually delighted to get out of..limerick hung in there when it just wasn't going right..Clare will probably wonder how they lost it..Kelly missed a huge goal chance that would have put it beyond limerick..
Clare probably lucky that either cleary or Lohan didn't get 2 yellows..on the other hand people will say Nicky was very lucky to escape,only thing in his favour was Duggan hadn't control of ball..definitely the rule needs to be looked at..
Limerick weren't at it for most of match and Clare produced their best performance of year..delighted by the win and really looking forward to next 2 weeks..
On another note best of luck to Shane o Donnell in whatever he does next..a superb hurler who lit up hurling for years..a gentleman and a great ambassador for the Gaa.."
hard to control the ball when you are being hit in the head and tripped in the one movement ;-)

Watched Louth match back for my sins. Few things. Mooney did well enough or as good as he could given the circumstances being thrown in like that. He definitely wasnt the winning and losing of the game overall. Gallaghers loss was bigger for Monaghan arguably as it robbed mccarville of his wingman on kickouts. The match was lost in the first half and monaghans inability to take advantage of the red card it kept louth in it and they grew from it the two pointer to end the half a huge moment. I dont think any of the other teams left in the championship would have shown louth as much mercy as we did in that period. We actually played well in the second half bar the last few minutes when the team faded in face of louth surge. Ciaran Byrne was a massive sub for them. There was also a crucial period after the goal when we didnt push on some bad wides which might have seen enough but louth timed their finishing kick well. Devlin played his cards better but it was that first half lack of response to red card which killed us in this one. Louth outscored us in that period 12 pts to 1-03. That was the winning and losing.

Replying To Seniorleague:  "True but itd be kinda annoying to wake up and see England gone. Id rather watch it happen,but im not staying up either.
Having said that an England world cup win wouldnt unduly bother me,,(ill get my coat)"
Funnily id rather see them beat on penalties in the final but it would be too risky.

Replying To DuhallowRed:  "Great win for Cork Minors in the minor final"
Yes, congratulations Cork. Hopefully Cork can get those few players they need to be in the top 1-5 at senior level.

Replying To Viking66:  "Only 8 years ago"
8 years ago Galway were reckoned to be the best team in the country, and Limerick were the upstarts with smart money saying it was too soon for that team to win an AI
Roles have now reversed
Galway have a nice blend with plenty of young players and a handful who have done it all
Like Tipp last year
One thing for sure is Limerick will give them nothing easy

Replying To avonali:  "If Galway go on and win it, will people perhaps revise their opinions of the abilities of this Dublin team?"
Unfortunately, while Galway have staked a claim there is little beyond the four semi finalists.

Might change but Dublin and others still in "one big win" a year mode..

Up the Wee County

Through leaner years and hopeful ones,
Through fallen dreams and battles won,
The Wee faithful stood, both proud and true,
And carried Louth's red and white through.

Now history calls from Croke Park's stage,
A moment written for another age.
The first since fifty-seven to reach this height,
The Wee County stepping into the light.

This was not fashioned in a fleeting day,
But built through belief along the way.
Through vision, work, and courage shown,
The seeds of promise have now been sown.

Peter Fitzpatrick saw the tide
That one day would turn for the County side.
He helped lay foundations deep and strong,
And now their fruits are coming along.

From underage fields to the senior game,
A spirit has grown and earned its name.
A county united, pulling as one,
Still striving upward, the journey not done.

And rising proudly for all to see,
A new stadium stands for posterity.
More than brick and steel and stone,
A home for dreams yet to be known.

A place where future generations will stand,
With pride for their club and love for their land.
A lasting symbol, bold and bright,
Of a county stepping into its future's light.

For those who waited through every test,
This moment carries something blessed.
Not boastful words, nor noisy acclaim,
But quiet pride in what became.

So let the roads to Dublin flow,
From every parish, far and near.
Let red and white fill every seat,
And turn Croke Park into Louth's heartbeat.

Raise every flag to the summer sky,
Let songs of Louth ring proud and high.
And when our team steps out in red and white,
Let them feel a county's roar and might.

For they carry our hopes, our pride, our story,
The dream of generations chasing glory.

Stand tall. Sing loud. Believe.
Up the Wee County, with rolled-up sleeves

Replying To PoolSturgeon:  "I dont want to see Daithi on the field the next day if he is as hampered by the knee injury as he was on Saturday. Too risky. Have him as a 2nd half substitute if necessary ( like Cian Lynch for Limerick yesterday). We need 15 fully fit players."
better to start him and whip him if hes getting exposed, rather than bring him on - knee buckles and hes off again - could cost a second sub - and we'll need to use all the bench against limerick

Been a while since we had the Loughrea posters on complaining about a bias against Loughrea in team selections. Probably not since the round robin loss to Dublin I'd say. Btw well done to Tiernan Killeen -- great game last Saturday.

Mexico by far the better team in the second half albeit they had an extra man. Pity they couldn't take one of those chances. I suppose now we all turn in Norway supporters

Hell of a result for Ireland in Australia. 31 - 33.
Despite our massive injury list.
Great comeback by our lads.
That is our 6th win in a row over the Aussies.

Next up for us is Japan on Sat.

Replying To Drax_the_destroyer:  "Seán Kelly MEP and Former GAA president yesterday

I've been thinking for some years now , that Mayo
best chance of winning Sam, is when it's least expected and they come in under the radar - bit like this year ? But, when I said that to a guy in Brussels today ,he replied , ' Mayo , come in under the radar ? . You must be joking ! Not a hope . If they qualify for the Final, all the hype and over confidence and 'Mayo4Sam', will take over again and it will blow any chance they have of winning' Not sure , he's right ach mar a deirtear, 'Neosfaidh an aimsear ' So, cool it Mayo!"
Sean showed his true colours with Maria Walsh on Mercusar so I wouldnt pay a blind bit of notice on his opinion.
