Replying To Expertinall: "Yes, l believe it's the league highest ranked two countries, in Munster.When has that not been Cork and Kerry recently? What logic draws us to a8 team competition, because Kerry are in top 4? I don't understand your take on that. Anyway what's your solution, leave Munster as it is?" Really? Thats convenient.
Im using your logic on you. You have repeatedly said that the link between the provincial championships and the AI series must be broken. You have repeatedly used kerry as your " exhibit A" example and reason why that should be the case stating that they have it too easy. Kerry are a top 4 team pretty much every year and are the current AI champs. By your logic they will have it too handy against pretty much everyone outside of division 1 and some within it. Therefore why should they be playing them?

Firstly well done to Monaghan and any of their posters on here. Fully deserved their win and good value for their 9 point win.
As for us we saved our worst performance of the year for the last match. Kickouts not finding them men, us not showing the intensity and fight in the middle 8 that was required. Defensively very poor lacked shape and players so often left flatfooted.
Not a whole lot of difference between Tyrone and Monaghan but how different our performances was 3 weeks apart was something else. One thing for sure we wouldn't have stayed up in Division one or even reached the Connacht final had we played similar to that today.
Finally thanks to players and management for what was a transitional year on the line and with many new or newish faces getting their chance and where we secured Division 1 status and won Connacht.
Nobody will be hurting more than them and will know they are a whole lot better than what they showed today, that's football and sport unfortunately and we'll go again in 2027.

Replying To dickie10: "Games are now seemingly going ahead in Northern Ireland, Meath county board contacted Derry saying they were happy to travel. PSNI might yet intervene Derry county board said depending on trouble which could erupt on a Friday night. The time factor is pretty tough though coming out of Derry city at 9 pm on a Saturday night won't bring any families from Meath up. Daft time to put it on for a team that brought over 40,000 to all Ireland semi last year., similar with Armagh who would bring 25,000 to Croke Park if Louth agreed. Two huge counties population wise and support wise and GAA making sure to limit attendance. GAA plus 4:30 match Meath v Derry and 7pm match Roscommon in clones would make a lot more sense. 2 hrs will bring you to south Roscommon from clones . 4hrs to big populations in south Meath from Derry. Coupled with away fixture in cork last timr seems very unfair ." Take a car instead of the horse and cart.

Replying To Paull: "Galway do not want to move to Munster as it would decrease their chances of success in both the All Ireland and Provincial competitions.
The 5 Munster Counties do not want Munster in their Province for the same reason.
Turkeys voting for Christmas stuff.
Problem is Leinster Counties (Turkeys) plus othes voted for Christmas when allowing Galway in.
Its understandable we all want what's best for our own success but should Galways needs be greater than the rest of Leinsters maybe bar Kilkenny??
Leinster need to look after Leinster Counties first, and if that is to the detriment of Galway so be it.
Connaught / Central Council need to look after Galway." What's your proposal? We'll go back to playing Roscommon so. I wouldn't mind what province we're in, but we can't go back to the days of us starting off at a very different stage to other counties. We need to be in one of the provinces as a result.

Replying To farneygael3: "Couldn't get today due to work. Controlled game here in 2nd half. As said before, once the Connaught championship is over the Rossies are best just packing it in" Well done to Monaghan. If ye took your chances ye'd have beaten us by 20 points. Roscommon were poor today but that's a mostly young Roscommon team who I think over the next few years will go well in the All Ireland series. Best of luck to Monaghan in the next round.

Replying To Southsligoman: "Champo baby.. we have had some luck so far!
Canice back is huge. Mullen too.
D bould mcgurn is a typical modern day gym footballer. Can kick a point strong and very athletic. A guy who lacks real talent but like gary neville has worked hard on his physique and has made the most of his ability. He needs marking. They have another forward love he is tidy.
A good team. Sligo by 2." Southsligoman.
I'd agree that most gaelic footballers are athletes now, due to the demands of the game and level of training the do.
On every county team there is a few players who may be relying on their athleticism/pace to play on the team however think Darragh McGurn may have a bit of "talent " now scoring 1-12 and 6 two pointers against Armagh might be good indicator that he has some football to go with his athleticism, as not every player does that!

Injuries-Due To Condensed Season? - 2 Like(s)
Reading all the previews of this weekend's matches it seems nearly every team involved has injuries preventing players from being on the starting 15. From memory (not great I admit), I don't remember such a high level of injuries.
Is it heavier training, wrong training methods, or does the condensed season contribute to it.
From quick memory, Meath, Kerry, Dublin, Roscommon, Westmeath, all seem to be missing starting players.

Great win by the minors. Tbh i didnt give them any chance after round 1 of munster but they are improving all the time. Credit to Diarmuid Mullins and his coaching team. They get another crack at Tipp in the final now so who knows.

Embarassing stuff really, you could be optimistic and presume they've been training heavy to peak for Croke Park but the evidence is that they've played 3 championship games and been terrible in 2 and the other they had a gale wind behind them for the only half of 15v15. Looks like the goose is cooked for the year.

Replying To Armchairreporter: "Is there that much of a difference between Leinster and Munster hurling and players. First the 20s out played and out muscled, now the minors... It looks like all leinster is doing at the moment is developing inflated egos.... Lets hope it doesn't follow through to the seniors." That minor team was losing by 12 points to Kilkenny and came back to draw and then win in extra time. A freakish kind of result. Imo the level of real ability in the team was best measured by the nature of their performance for the greater part of that game that produced that 12 point deficit. I dont think inflated egos had anything to do with it. Underage hurling in Munster is clearly of a higher standard than Leinster at the moment.

Replying To 3rdmidfielder: "Strong team. If we got Pearse Dolan back you could play Barry center half forward. Id find a place for Mark Diffley but maybe not a 6. Either Mcnamara, Harkin, oberwan will do a job at 4. Oisin Mcloughlin has nailed down his spot he was superb last few months.
Any defenders from the u20's to come in?" It's Donal Casey at 6 If he is fit . McNamara , harkin, oberwan are all better than eoin McLoughlin I'd have oberwan at 4 with McNamara at 5 . Oisin mcloughlin starts over cox or Riordan o rourke . We could have daragh Rooney , jack foley and radek oberwan in the fold next year hard to predict a team when u don't know who'll be available. Oran foley and ronan fox 2 good defenders from u20
