The Admin of this page has a lot to answer for. Why let so much nonsense be written here? Ruining the page for all real fans.
McNulty is a gem. Great for the county to have his shooting go viral like it has. Be interesting to see will he start against Antrim. Barry himself, Manor and Leitrim as a county can't afford him to get a third Hamstring injury within a year so its a tough decision.
He's worth 6 points a game minimum to this team, aside from his shooting abillty, his workrate, aerial ability to win kickouts/throw-ins and the fact most teams will now double up on him will create space for everyone else.
Poacher would have had a lot to answer for with his selection and tactics only for McNulty last weekend. Antrim are on a desperate bad run of form but they are also a team we regularly struggle against.
Any update on the rest of our injuries (Keaney, Casey and Cox and Colm McLoughlin in particular) and Eanna McNamara? The young lad hasn't been looked after too well in my opinion from what I've heard, he needs medical treatment on his hips before most games for the last year and him 19.
Gaffey needs to start in goals now. It's not even up for debate.
As predicted our defence is really struggling on all levels, physically, pace and positioning. Diffley most defenitly is not a 6 that is for sure.
I see no reason why Poacher wouldn't try and go back for Radek Oberwan - he's out training with Allen Gaels and keeps himself in great condition or even Jack Gilheany.
I'd personally put Cillian McGloin back at wing back if he didn't pick up any knocks last weekend before being taken off.
He got it wrong last weekend but Poacher needs to be ruthless here. The management are up against it with the injuries we have had but the reality is we lost to Wicklow in a game we should have won, were really poor against Waterford and we were getting a trouncing against London only for McNulty.
If we loose to Antrim thats us done. There should be a great buzz in the camp this week so Poacher needs to really go for it here.
We should have lots of options off the bench which is huge in Div 4.
Killian Gaffey
Conor Reynolds Kieran Clancy Sean Harkin
Cillian McGloin Colm McLoughlin** Mark Diffley
Conor Quinn
Barry McNulty
Tom Prior Keith Keegan Oisin McLoughlin
Paul Honeyman Ryan O'Rourke Ben Guckian
Could be smart to play Oisin McLoughlin or Beezer McKiernan - Antrim will be drawn to McNulty around the arc so having another shooter around there could be crucial.
Great to see the County Board finally showing some initiative and putting up the highlights of McNultys scores. This should be done for every game win or lose. Our youngsters/supporters need to see our own players every week instead of just the usual teams on the Sunday Game - Its something simple they can do which will make a difference.

Replying To Eire89: "Is this team your team for champo or he Rossies? Hernon not a full back and Thompson plays in half forward line as showed last year a great playmaker and links up everything. I would have Kelly at 3 & O Laoi in his postion if he continues his league form. Tierney seems to have a knack for goals and lets hope it continues. "Damo if fit" unfirtunately seems like a dream and Walsh is coming into that category too" Hernon played his best championship football for Galway in FB line. Dublin 24 and Mayo last year came on and shutdown ose.
But for injury prob been 3 in 24 all Ireland final.
Thompson can play in FF line too as seen v Dublin last yr bur best to leave at 11

Thompson also kicked a two point free from the ground in his last game before he left for the states. A key skill.

Replying To Avensis2012: "Bornacoola played st brigids kiltooms second string in a challenge last weekend down in kiltoom. Naomh Brid running out winning by about 8-10 points. Probably not a bad result at all for the bors given the opposition" A great result. Hopefully they can win their next challenge game.

I know it's maybe a bit trite to say it, but if there was ever a Donegal player who "deserves" a Celtic Cross medal it's the likes of Hugh McFadden. (I'd put Ryan McHugh in the same category)
They both came on the scene after the 2012 win, and have soldiered on for years in the good times and bad. We're certainly in contention in 2026, but a wee bit of luck is needed and when it comes to the business end of things, that other old GAA cliche "all on the day" can often come into it.
I think every knowledgable GAA person in the county always acknowledged the effort Hugh put in. But happily for him, he has elevated his game almost beyond all recognition in recent years. Absolute credit to him.

Replying To AnCrúiscínLán: "We need to nail down the free taking duties. I was also impressed with O'Conghaile's contribution in Tralee when he came on. He has added a bit of bulk and hopefully now keeps his confidence up, as he too is one who can trouble the scoreboard. Apart from the 2-pointers he scored, McGrath's timing of ball release for team mates is perfect.
There's a lot of room for improvement in our transition play, but crucial to this is the need of a half back line that can take scoring opportunities. O'Laoi has the ability, McHugh is more likely to fist a point than shoot - who else is there. Once we get that right, imo, we'll be more than a match for any team." I really don't get this talking down of mchugh kicking ability
He was on for FOTY in 24 and was kicking lovely diagonal ball into comer that year and also kicking super points
Had a down year last year

Replying To endgame: "The game has changed and midfield has changed but I still think it's a problem area for Roscommon.Ros Forwards are going very well and we have a number of pacey defenders. It'll be interesting to see Dowd's first championship game starting 15." Look back on the 3-18 scored last Sunday, the majority of those scores came from good work on kickouts and a few scores came directly from Armagh kickouts.
2nd half Armagh chasing the game naturally pushed up and attacked each and every kick out, Roscommon while loads of bodies they appeared to be stuck in a zonal formation and Aaron Brady was directed to land and handful of his restarts to the sideline where I believe at least two was given as sideline balls to Armagh when should have gone the other way.
Problem area for Roscommon over the years has been defensively it's why so many previous managers has taken a more cautious approach when attacking. Yes under the new rules the best form of defense is to attack and play front football however defence will still win championships and forwards will win games, on the latter Shooting efficiency in games or even within games hasn't been consistent good enough in the past either. If Roscommon are as good on their shooting in their remaining games this year as they were last Sunday then Roscommon will win more games than they'll lose so it's all about finding that much needed consistent level regardless of what starting 15 is selected come championship time.

Replying To katser: "It's time to be getting the team finalised and upto Championship pace. Whatever about Offaly next, they would want to have the team sorted for home games v Waterford and Kilkenny. 3 wins on the spin would see us set for possible winner takes all (league semi finals v limrik)
Then crack at Cork in League Final two weeks before opening Round of Championship v Kilkenny.
The diddling around with players was tried with Tipp and Cork and most likely with Offaly next, But after that in the words of Jim Telfer..." gloves are off its bare knuckle stuff from here onwards and only the last man standing will win the fight"" So who would you like to see brought in for the final 3 games Katser?

I think the league competitions are great and every division has its own drama.So far in division one Donegal look the stand out team and Meath in division two. Looking forward to the Kerry v Dublin clash the weekend.Both teams are lucky they not sitting bottom of table at the moment.

Ye have the new King of the Arc up there! Just saw Barry McNulty's exhibition of two pointers - outrageous shooting, left and right, and that free must have been taken from the next parish! Superb shooting.

The AFL wants to introduce Women's representative football in 2026.
The two avenues being explored:
- Australia v Ireland (39 Irish W players last year)
- State of Origin (VIC v WA/VIC v SA)
Late July/August or mens byes in June are the preferred slots.
