Replying To BarneyGrant: "Don't think there was any real need to send anyone off there. Was just a bit of handbags. Neither had anything to do with what kicked it off." Impossible to ascertain whether there was a need to send someone off there imo. Ben O'Connor was looking for more blood last week. Tonight, he's hopping around looking for a free for a well timed shoulder hit.

Replying To countyman2022: "Had Wex only 4/5 Fitz starting players this year in coileges? The Munster counties, KK & Galways seem to have huge numbers across all sides. More so Munster counties. How have we only 4/5 being exposed to the highest standard of hurling at that age profile?" Before the essay, list of names and excuses comes about how this lad would of being playing but was injured, or how Carlow aren't playing in Fitzgibbon etc etc, the simple fact and answer to your question is Wexford are not producing enough underage hurlers to warrant inclusion in Fitzgibbon panels.

Replying To jm25: "NFL players have been taking a knee for anthem for decades not that it was relevant to my post
Bit woke getting offended by people taking a knee" I thought it was pathetic, not offensive.
If same hysteria took hold now i have little doubt there would be insisting in GAA joining the charade.

A brilliant occasion in Cusack Park, entertaining game, Colaiste Mhuire better team, huge physicality in middle section, Marist just couldn't win possession, James McHugh man of the match with 2-8 off limited possession, Weir, Byrne, Ormsby, Moloney and O' Brien had big influence for winners.

Replying To BigBàsMan: "You'd swear it was a hammering. The teams were level on 50 mins. Galway going nowhere this year either. They'll be lucky to get out of Leinster. A lot of the young lads need 4 years s&c to get to where they should be. They'll be eaten alive come championship. Also, as for Conor Whelan coming back into the 15. 9 pts in 7 championship games last year, needs to seriously improve his form to warrant a selection. Anthony burns has opted out, and he's right." I suspect that Burns was told he wasn't going to be near the starting 15 for county team and so he decided to move on. There are a good few ahead of him for those corner forward spots in fairness

Replying To KillingFields: "as usual posts about rugby turn to nonsense about things nothing to do with the actual sport. how pathetic" Do you know what's even more pathetic? Getting exercised about the posts in a 'Non GAA' thread where literally ANY topic can be discussed, good, bad or indifferent. Post up a Rugby thread where you can discuss rugby to your hearts content, if it annoys you that much.

Some serious talent coming through in Westmeath. I thought McHugh was unbelievable. Ormsby had a massive game also. Schahill by his standards probably had a quiet first half but came more into it in the second half. I can see Colaiste Mhuire getting to the all Ireland final at a minimum. Should be interesting seeing McHugh & Scahill playing together at U20 level this season for Westmeath. Mark McHugh was also there today which was good to see!

Ah only one team ever going to win after time. Clear gulf in class. I told you in advance that Loughrea lacked an elite forward and that's exactly what came to pass. They've a lot of really good club forwards but no one who will make it at senior intercounty.

Rumours that the westmeath executive and ccc have decided that u18s in last year of minor are not allowed play adult football again in westmeath. You can now vote, drive get married in westmeath but are not allowed play adult football, but u are allowed play u20s with adults. Its mind boiling really. I heard denis and Buddha explaining playing adult football at 16 years of age and how it helped them develop to the 2004 success. Obviously westmeath are doing it right and other 40 counties are wrong

Replying To gunman: "A very strange statement.I don't think many would replace Roarty with anybody in the country let alone Donegal.There is this narrative however that we need more natural defenders but I don't who they are suggesting should be replaced.Maybe there are some with an agenda against a certain player.If there is a choice to be made I would tend to go with a player who has the ability to attack with pace.There are some who would sacrifice this for defensive minded players.Ideally what you would want is 5 or 6 Roartys who can defend and attack with equally brilliant ability." Not as strange as the comment " Curran is our best defender" . Mind boggling?

Replying To Timbertony: "How are we doing at second level with how many are playing at A level v Clare and Limerick I wonder?" A quick look at the Corn Uí Dhuill roll of honor will answer that one for you.
But again you have those on this forum who like to harp on about a Wexford school beating KK CBS in a group game!! Or beating Cork in a preliminary quarter final, and finishing 4th or 5th in an u15 tournament.
It's about winning titles nothing else.
And Wexford are currently so far away from winning titles at ALL levels it's frightening.
We are 100/1 to win the All Ireland this year!! Out of 11 teams!!
If it was a horse race would you even class us as an also-ran?? It's embarrassing

1pm tomorrow for the schools final in Ballinasloe. Should be a good game. Ciaran Leen should be strong at this level for the Pres having already lined out for Galway seniors up front and they will have Shay Brady and Aodhan McDonagh in the back line from last year's county minors. Raphael's probably favourites though with a good spread of strong players - Gavin Maher, Jack Shaughnessy, Eoghan Mulleady, Ethan Coleman and a bunch more who have done well at club level underage.

I see the county board have come back with another proposal since the previous ones gained no traction.
They now want to put 3 teams from each section through, but keep the A and B sections as they are. Top 2 in section A go through to semis and the other 4 teams in an open draw for the quarters
This is more nonsense. You have the 6 strongest teams on one side and the weaker side gets as many teams through to the knockouts.
You end up better off if you finish 3rd in section B than 4th in section A, where you would be playing much stronger teams.
It's also the same number of games as currently take place, thus not helping the dual player, which was apparently a key reason for wanting change in the first place.
They tried to change things, were clearly told that clubs are happy with the structure overall but have decided that they still want to change it for some reason.
