I'm an Armagh man, think Donegal look great and unfortunately for me they will be right up there again, think the final gets over analysed, Kerry had a good start and left Donegal too much of a hill to climb, I do think McFadden would of been a big plus that day, but I don't agree with alot of pundits that Kerry are miles ahead, funny before the quarter finals last year they where no good lol I hibk this year is the same as the last 3 there are 8 teams that can win, some teams have a better chance than others but any of 8 can do it, all teams have weaknesses and all have strengths, it will come to timing your run and bit of luck. Kerry had it last year Armagh had it the year before, it is wide open and I wouldn't be surprised if any division 1 team or Tyrone won it

Some lads better throw their iPhones in the bin. Israeli tech and all that. There are likely a ton of healthcare products you should stay away from too.

Whatever about the actions of ICE, the roots this are in Democrats turning Minneapolis into a sanctuary city, their support for defunding police, and the presence of a large criminal culture attracted by their maladministration.
Id imagine quite a lot of normal residents are pleased at attempt to tackle this.

Replying To joeman123: "Glad to read your positive views on Poacher and Leitrim.
By the way have you changed your views on Andy Moran.Monaghan seem to be in trouble without him and Mayo aee flying." No, my views have not changed one bit. Why would it? I couldn't give a tuppany bit what he's doing with Mayo or Monaghan before that for that matter. I only care what he did with ourselves which is well documented and how they all left things in the end. I'm not allowed say what I really think, so we'll leave it at that.

Replying To TrueBlue35: "From what I've heard Theo's is a season ender (bad ankle break) and LG's is a another hamstring issue. On the latter I really hope it's something minor and we do see him back again soon. He has been through the mill with his hamstring and has had setback after setback. Would be a real asset to Ger if fit and playing (as would Theo!)." Thats terrible news. Theo is a huge loss as is Lee. I think we should nearly forget about Lee the poor lad as he is made of glass ,A great baller but always injured. If Theo was fit we could move McMahon to cb.

Replying To sligo joe: "Very well put Supermon, there is a world of difference between being a purchaser of a product and a sponsorship deal. Sponsorship involves and certainly broadcasts very publicly a mutual respect for each others values and ethics." So you'd be morally against the sponsorship but not against buying the product?

Allianz sponsors sport across Europe and further afield and here we are getting our knickers in a twist to appease a few wokies who probably already purchase goods already (knowing or unknowingly) in entities associated with Israel. Your pension is likely invested in entities that trade with Israel, are people going to get all pious about that too? Allianz have the naming rights to Twickenham & the Munich Football Arena and I do not hear any calls on the English RFU or German FA to end any deals. Choosing to boycott Allianz is not going to make one blind bit of difference to the long suffering Palestinian people. If you want to feel better about yourself, donate a few euro to a cause that actually helps them.

Replying To katser: "Well I care about winning the League and I d rather have a settled team going full tilt to win it and then be ready and hoping to go for Championship (KK at home Rd 1)
Last year in the League 6 games and 6 different line ups with some horrible defeats and then in the Championship We were no better" Last year in the League you stopped giving gametime to most of the younger lads after the first League game. Not sure how they were supposed to get better when they weren't even playing.

Replying To legendzxix: "Cavan showed in Castlebar what they are capable of. They derailed Mayo's All Ireland push." Cork drew with Kerry in the MS championship and Kerry won All Ireland so Cork would have a higher ranking I would think. Stop with your nonsense always making other teams favourites .Its becoming tiresome and very juvenile tbh.

Replying To dave1988: "The hooter decision il live with and the free that probably should have went to roscommon il live with it but my god saying that wasn't a square ball is crazy." I am from Kerry and I agree it was a square ball.Goal should not have been allowed. Bad decisions went both ways though. Kerry s keeper was penalised for a slow kickout and a handy point resulted for Roscommon. The Rossies keeper was as slow on other occasions and no free awarded. Tomas Kennedy had a perfect point waved wide in first half and the ref penalised Mike Breen of Kerry for not handing back the ball on the wrong and it cost us another two points. Decisions work both ways. The hooter point was fine but in the interest of fairness the free was very soft and could have gone the other way too.

Replying To sligo joe: "None of the players, team personnel or managers have mentioned a boycott. A few have publicly and possibly more privately said no to interviews in front of the logo. That's their choice. Is that not OK? What's the problem?" What's the problem? It's woke, virtue signalling nonsense so these lads can feel good about themselves while pretending that their stance actually changes anything. That's the problem. As I've said, if they really want to help the Palestinian people, donate a few euro to causes that ACTUALLY help them.

Some good points & counterpoints being made throughout this discussion. And, after all, I'm no clearer on what my stance should be. The news below from 24/12/25 has helped sway things for me, though:
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/allianz-and-aviva-drop-elbit-systems-insurance-after-palestine-protests
'Allianz and Aviva drop Elbit Systems insurance after pro-Palestine protests'
"Elbit Systems is a privately owned company that has an 80 percent monopoly over the weapons and equipment for Israel's land forces and 85 percent of the combat drones used by the air force.
"The company is accused by critics of being complicit in Israeli war crimes against Palestinians."

There should be protests against the GAA over the shameful decision to retain Allianz but they are unlikely to be successful. When an organisation makes a decision such as this they are likely a lost cause as finances should never be placed of higher importance than a genocide.
It is also a national embarrassment that Ireland is the second biggest importer of Israeli goods after the rogue state the USA which is number one by some distance.

Replying To eddieSize5Balls: "I'd prefer if Kerry get knocked out before we ever have to play them in the championship tbh, wishful thinking I know.
It's gonna be a very difficult championship especially with the new format.
I think we need to punt the Ulster championship away, don't show our full hand during it, if we win it we win it, but don't go all out hell for leather for it." Provincial finalists have home advantage in the new structure and possibly an easier route to a AI QF so getting to an Ulster final will be priority.

My problem with the protest against the Allianz sponsorship is that you very quickly get into contradictory and ' whataboutery' positions. Should my own county fulfil a fixture in a country who's regime assassinated / murdered one of its own citizens , then lied and tried to cover up what happened.

Replying To D.Hyde: "There was 5 seconds left on the clock in the ground when the ref stopped it. Anyway, it's a very messy way to end a game, it may or may not have any impact on whether we survive or not but it surely needs adjusting. It has brought unnecessary controversy for officials and it's only the first round of the league!!" There was no controversy despite your attempts to create some. Referee watch was not same as scoreboard one.
