Replying To yew_tree: "There are people living in cloud cuckoo land with the like of Daly and Wallace. Yea sure let Putin take some of Ukraine…what's next?" I don't think Russia ever had any interest in expanding the conflict outside Ukraine but the way they are attacking Russia now with UK and American missiles this thing good get seriously out of control very quick,
I don't think Putin is bluffing, to my mind Trump can't get into the Whitehouse quick enough to hopefully deescalate this thing, and Trump is always the bad guy to some.
Looks to me like Biden was huffed first by being dumped by the Democrats and then by Trumps landslide victory that he decided to leave as big a mess behind him as he could for Trump to clean up.
Sick of the Americans myself sticking their nose into things all over the world and their support of the genocide in Gaza unfolding before the eyes of the world they have no credibility left imo.

Have a a feelings all 3 Westmeath clubs will reach Leinster finals.
If all 3 win this weekend we could have an all timer next weekend with both Senior finals being played in Croke Park we could have Lomans and C/G playing there on the Saturday.
Then for Garrycastle if they win they get a home Leinster final which I presume they will pick Cusack Park. That will be plays on Sunday.
Let's hope all 3 get it done this weekend !!

Replying To TrueBlue35: "Will be a very interesting year for us, two colossal figures gone in Fento and Jimmy Mc. If half the rumours are true then it'll either be all of the following or some of the below to follow:
1. Cluxton
2. Fitzy
3. J. Small
4. Jack Mc
5. Mannion
6. McCarthy - Confirmed
7. Fenton - Confirmed
That is an aaaawful amount of experience and quality to head out the door at the same time. Any suggestions on what a potential starting XV would be without the above? Something along these lines? That midfield gives me the horrors though so I'd say some moving around will have to happen to get some mobility in there. Saying that if my doomsday scenario of all 7 of the above is not true then there would be a splash of quality to add in there especially with a Mannion or Small which then means we can get Howard to midfield. I actually don't think we'd be too far away even still if we had Con, Mannion in full forward with the new rules and we could get the ball to them!
O'Hanlon
McMahon/Murphy
Clancy
Byrne
Murch
Howard
Gannon
POCB
Lahiff
Scully
KK
Bugler
Small
Con
Basquel" James Madden back from Oz, possible midfield option?

Replying To sligo joe: "James Madden back from Oz, possible midfield option?" Is he back?
That would be a top option and certainly worth a serious look at, if he is up for it
Good call

Yes he is 100% back alright. It could take him time to get to the pitch of playing Gaelic Football again. We've seen it with numerous guys who come back and takes them at least 12 months to get back into the swing of things. Conor Glass took a fair while for example and Okunbor in Kerry hasn't had a sniff yet. Would be a big ask to be launched straight into the thick of it in midfield but we might have to as we are so short of quality there now with the two lads gone. McGinnis is actually a potential for midfield who I forgot to mention. Impressed me in the league last year I have to say.
I'm not sure I agree with the amount of talent in the county. I watch an awful lot of club football and I've yet to see much that would add to the current county panel. A couple of potential bolters - Luke Breathnach, Greg McEneaney, Eoghan O'Connor Flanagan and there's a couple of tidy forwards for St Mary's Saggart, Sean Jameson is one anyway but can't think of the other lad's name now. Again though its a bit of a lottery and Dessie is probably guilty of not blooding a few and getting league minutes into lads last year.

Replying To eoinog: "At 32 years of age you are going starting Kilkenny in midfield .." Would Eoghan O' Donnell after years of top quality conditioning with the hurlers also be a midfield option for ye.
Good Roscommon genes.

We got to watch it all and then some lads,
All good things
There's plenty of talent still in Dublin GAA
Time now to build a new team, lots of fresh players with the mix of top end experience
Time to carve out a new identity and purpose.
I'd be happy if they managed another Sam or two this decade.
There is still plenty there to build again, great foundations.
It won't happen next year though,
Look to stay up in Div 1, introducing several players
Look to retain Leinster
Look to be as competitive as possible in the Championship, but its very even now, go as far as possible,
We got to see the lads achieve #9, the 6 in a row
Time now to enjoy a different time, when it's back to being in the pack

Replying To Viking66: "I'm not sure you can see if they have improved unless you take into account who has gone travelling, how good management were, how many dual players the 1st teams have, etc etc. There are lots more variables than just the split season." The phrase "gone traveling" amuses me. We called it "emigration" in my day.
I remember being out in Asia in the 1980s and meeting a bunch of Brits who called themselves "expats."
One supposes they were too full of themselves to call themselves mere "immigrants."

Replying To Fionn: "Definitely no conveyor belt, that is for sure.
There never was one there to begin with.
I knew it & so did the Dublin supporters.
Losing Fento to retirement is a game changer for the Dubs imo. Irreplaceable.
The snowball effect starts now... hopefully it doesn't turn into an avalanche.... ;o(" Agree, there never was a conveyor belt, most Dubs knew this was a temporsry generational thing.

Replying To Doylerwex: "Be realistic. We're not capable of defending ourselves in this type of conflict. We simply don't have the resources or numbers and we're massively exposed. Nothing good will come from us posturing for war.
I for one am terrified with the prospect of the UK holding up a big target for Putin now. I don't believe he has any appetite for expansion outside of the former Soviet Union. The west shouldn't be getting involved.
Like Reagan before him, Biden is far more likely to end our civilization for the sake of saying my **** is bigger than yours than the Russians." Problem with that is that the old Soviet Union stretches well into the EU. And Putin mentioned how far he saw Russia traditionally extending to in his interview with Tucker Carlson. (Not far from the German border).

Replying To XmanMonaghan1: "Some men that have been added I believe are Jack Doogan, Packie Doogan Burke, Paudie McMahon, (all Magheracloone) Louis Kelly, Ronan Boyle, Oran McElligott (Truagh) Bobby McCaul (A/mullen), Thomas Hughes (Castleblayney) probably one or two others." I am not sure why more men from senior clubs are not being invited into the panel. Most senior players would stand out at these lower ranks..
