Replying To OhtobeARossie: "3 of the 4 teams left in the All Ireland Senior we played against
That's another claim to fame of how close we were in that NOT
What drivel Tyrone minors played around with us after there goal
We scored a whopping 1-08 yet some think we were close
Kerry were the better team yesterday" Roscommon game was totally different contest no two games are ever the same.
You had yourself convinced before the game Kerry were going to win and were proven wrong.
Team that attacked best,had most shots on goal, defended best, conceded the least, gave up the least chances and won the most clean possession and breaks in midfield was all Tyrone. Tyrone with a deserved win done without one of their best players on route to the final also.

Replying To bláthach: "Oh to be honest I wouldn't bother please. It's the same thing as using "lack of structures" to blame everything that's wrong in the county.
Yet when I asked what these "structures" were a number of weeks back I was told if I was involved etc etc I'd know etc etc.
I am heavily involved but there is no point talking to some peoples here as they are very very frustrating. Grand to be typing behind a keyboard yes and blaming "lack of structures". Get off the keyboard please and do what I do and go out and do some coaching no.
But before you do can some of you who got angry with me before explain what the "structures" are. What "structures" are we lacking?!? Concrete examples, not jargon and mod talk that you hear on the tv." You are too passive aggressive to pay attention to anyone explaining it to you.

Attendances 2025 - 2 Like(s)
Replying To Fionn: "All Ireland Final stand tickets will be €100
Only a matter of time before the Terrace tickets go to €75
For next season, surely it is time for the GAA to introduce a Family ticket - 2 adults and 2 children etc.?" They should do that but they won't. Prices should be lowered across the board as they are too high, attending matches is a very expensive day out. There is no point complaining about ticket prices however because the GAA don't care.
Prices won't be lowered, they will continue to increase. What was the need for the GAA to put an extra €5 on All Ireland Hurling semi final tickets when those attendances are already very profitable due to the high level of attendance?? That is super capitalism.
Call a spade a spade the GAA is a greedy, self serving organisation for whom maximising profits is their driving motivation. The cost of going to matches has priced a lot of people out and that is to the eternal shame of the GAA because it is against the principles on which the organisation was founded.

Replying To Whammo86: "So the format of those 3 components aren't important.
There's no merit to the argument that the league and provincials could be played in parallel?
If we can have a split season I don't see why our other scheduling issues are too sacrosanct to change." Playing Provincials and NFL in the same timeframe is the way to go in my opinion to give a more streamlined Inter County structure.
The craic of teams playing 7 NFL in 9 weeks, a provincial 2 weeks later and maybe a 6 week wait to the next game needs to go.

Replying To foreveryoung: "Perhaps the GAA should introduce a rule whereby it is the vice-captain who accepts the cup instead of the captain who has broken the rules of the game and has been sent to the line! If the VC is also on a red, or the joint-captain as many teams have nowadays, are also on reds along with the captain, the most senior member of the team should lift the cup and give a good speech. We can't have bad example set for the young people watching the game, whereby a player who does not participate in a fair and ethical manner, is allowed to be the mouth-piece for the team.
This would not be allowed in the United States of America." Only one mouthpiece Yank and you stare at him every morning when you're washing your face.

I see a couple of clubs have it up on their Socials about not getting their tickets allocation, and are now advising their members at this stage to get tickets from Ticketmassacre. That's on top of the clubs that were directing their members this route from the outset. Its a sad state of affairs folks when GAA Clubs are sending their members to them. I don't blame the clubs, or the county board, it's that shower up in Croke Park who have killing our association with their corporate decisions.

David gets the plaudits for the scores but Paudie gets the ball into him driving hard and using aggression to break tables and lines.
No, Paudie, no All Ireland. No David, no All Ireland. Ying and Yang. Can't have one without the other. Brilliant combo. Pleasure to watch.

All Ireland Football Championship 2025 - 2 Like(s)
With all the talk about the scoreboard in the hurling yesterday could it happen in football. Sometimes at matches if you miss the umpire's signal you don't know if there was a point or not. I'd bring back switching the wide ball kick out back to the 6 yard box and score kick out from the 21.

Who Can Stop Cork This Year? - 2 Like(s)
Replying To Yadse: "Agreed. And remember the past couple of years there has been an element of over physicality and ill discipline by this Cork team with damaging red cards. Even this year with the red card in Ennis
They seemed to be overcompensating for past "softness" (real or imagined)
They now seem to have gotten the balance right and are a big, hard, physical team who play on the edge but usually stay on the right side of the refs
(Tipp have two red cards this championship, but both have been by the same player so dont know if thats just an individual thing)" Tipps 2 reds were both a little unlucky. The 1st goes on in many games before throw in. Probably wouldn't have happened against previous Cork teams as the victim wouldn't have gone down as if he was shot. 2nd yellow was marginal.

What did that young Tyrone captain do wrong? You dont want a player who commits a foul to get cup but you as Limerick fan think its ok for kyle hayes to play. That says it all. are you still salty cos we gave yous a beating in the hurling. I d say you are a Trumpite. The only county that have been setting bad example are Limerick and the only country that back bad example are the UsA.

Replying To omahant: "AILC? - Doesn't it build towards the 3-tier AI KO stage, with right-sized tier KO berths and with Prov titles handed out along the journey (it's moot that Ulster is cherished and Munster is not).
The fact that an Ulster Prelim game could count as a league tie too, while a Prov Final could potentially not double up, is not a flaw [e.g. Ire v Eng counts towards the Triple Crown and 6 Nations table, while Ire v Fra only counts towards the latter (it's neither here nor there, IMO) ."]Honestly I've stopped discussing with you. You don't listen to criticism at all so it's no point.
The 6 Nations example you keep bringing up is a false equivalence.
Every team playing in the Triple Crown has an opportunity to win the overall 6 Nations championship, that wouldn't be the case in your All Ireland where half the teams play in the Provincials but have no path to an All Ireland if they win their Province. It doesn't make sense to have Provincials linked but a Provincial champion not compete for the Sam Maguire in a shape.
If we go back to rugby, they've brought in this new Nations Championship competition and the 6 Nations is fully included in it, not half in and half out.
Half in half out doesn't make sense.

Not Galway, not Mayo. Longford.
But the structures are grand." The game was at 10am, would you have enthusiastically gotten out of bed when you were 15 for a shield game at that time on a Saturday...especially if you're up the north end of the county, because I wouldn't have.
Lots of families away on their holidays too I'd say.
I don't see that as a 'structures' problem, more of an organisation one

Replying To MayoDan: "Talking about what a team did since winning an all Ireland can be misleading. There will naturally be a drop off in terms of hunger. Most of that Tyrone team were semi finalists in 2015, 2017 and 2019. Finalists in 2018 and very unlucky losing by a point to ourselves in 2016 QF. Personally I don't see 2021 as anymore of a missed opportunity than 2013 or 2016 for example.
Dublin's 6 in a row team had bad days out too where we failed to capaitalise.
In hindsight 2022 was maybe a greater missed opportunity for Galway since comer and Walsh were fully fit." Walsh and Comer were both flying fit in 2022 but Galway had no subs bench at all that year. Finian O'Laoi was the first sub in nearly every game that year and he can't make the 26 now. When the game was tight in the final they had nobody to bring on.
By 2024 they had a strong subs bench but Walsh and Comer were both half fit. Finnerty went off injured early on in the final and Sean Kelly only fit enough to come on for the last 10 minutes. Despite all that they still would have won that game had their free taking been a small bit better.

Clare, Limerick, Tipperary And Waterford Ruining Munster Football And All Ireland Championship? - 1 Like(s)
Replying To legendzxix: "Munster counties ranked as following after the Allianz league:
1. Kerry
2. Cork
3. Clare
4. Limerick
5. Tipperary
6. Waterford
The footballers of Clare, Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford have demanded a lopsided Munster draw so that they can have easy access to a Munster final. Clare have made three Munster finals with threatening to win. Clare have made the All Ireland championship three years in a row. They are yet to win a game!!!
How long more a the GAA going to facilitate this lopsided draw policy?
There were three proper provincial finals this year. Cork v Kerry was arguably one of the best provincial clashes this year. Should have been the proper Munster final.
Clare should be in the Tailteann Cup. Limerick won their group and are having a good summer.
Sligo beating London and New York to make a Connacht final was also ridiculous. Mayo, Galway and Roscommon had finished top 3 in Division 1!!! Lopsided provincial finals are of no benefit to anyone." Rubbish post. Not worth replying to beyond that.

Dublin Hurling - 1 Like(s)
Replying To sligo joe: "Do Cork, Kilkenny, Limerick, Wexford, Tipperary, Clare, Waterford, Galway have many top hurlers opting for the footballers?" My own club would be the largest in Wexford at underage but have a huge exodus from juvenile to minor for soccer.
Wexford is somewhat unique in that we're a proper dual county. Most of our adult players would play both codes, and it's very often the case that the best hurlers are also the best footballers, not to mention to club schedule being half football is detrimental to their hurling because they're only doing it half the time.
I don't think Kilkenny, Waterford, Tipp etc. are like this.
Galway and Cork are proper dual counties too but with much larger playing numbers.
Our most successful club historically doesn't seem interested in the county team at all.
Football isn't the only reason some of your top hurlers may not want to be involved with the county team. I am saying that particular problem is not unique to Dublin.

Replying To legendzxix: "At the end of the day, the flow to the season is league, provincial championships and All Ireland & Tailteann. That's the flow whether people like it or not.
Extending the inter county season by 2 or 3 weeks for more gaps will take some joined up thinking between Croke Park, county boards and provincial councils." So the format of those 3 components aren't important.
There's no merit to the argument that the league and provincials could be played in parallel?
If we can have a split season I don't see why our other scheduling issues are too sacrosanct to change.
