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.

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

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 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?

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 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.

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.

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 tomsmith: "Tomsmith here
As a senior Hoganstand poster I feel that I am the correct type of person to pose the question was James Mc Guinness correct in how he answered a Journalist question after the Dublin Victory
James Mc Guinness was asked if Donegal can win an All Ireland with a Zoned defence or will the have to change . He replied we played the last 25 minutes Zonally I dont have an opinion YOU GUYS HAVE THE OPINIONS . Their is loads of opions out their ect ect .. He added I dont listen to them , most havent coached at inter County level , most havent stood on a side line , most havent won anything as a coach .. He ended by we will decide what is right and we wont be listening to anyone else ..
What do you think of James Mc Guinness reply was it ???" Are you misspelling his first name out of a passive-aggressive dislike of the man?

Replying To GerBo: "A very encouraging display Sunday, especially fight shown in the second half to come from 7 points down and take the lead. While nobody went down to Killarney expecting to come home with anything, one can't help but feel this could prove to be one that could away.
While Kerry had some star players on the field, the reality is, it was still only a half strength Kerry team. You just had to look at the time camera showed all the players sitting in the stand to realise that, not to mention the Dingle players probably in Geaney's bar. I know we were missing a good few also and a number of debutants, but the game this game transpired, this was a golden opportunity.
We all would've said to ourselves last week "where are the 6 pts going to come from to stay?" and for this to happen we knew we'd to need to get a head results against the head and there was the perfect opportunity Sunday and I fear will be get a better opportunity between now and March 22nd.
Anyways onto Sunday now, which was always going to be a must win/relegation 4 pointer even if it is only round 2. We simply have to win, or I see no way we are staying up. I think we should win, but after Sunday there will be an air of expectation and we will be the bookies faves, given it's at home and we've beaten Monaghan the last 2 years in the Hyde, This never usually sits well with Roscommon and Monaghan will be an wounded animal, which they thrive on.
I expect Sunday to be played like a cagey, knockout championship style game" A golden opportunity gone mainly due to the breaks that went Kerrys way and while Roscommon got some also things did not balance themselves out and was no time to react to the final error.
As a neutral watching.
One of Michael Burns scores in the 1st half s was about 8 to 9 steps before scoring.
Clifford sideline score came from him fouling his marker McCormack
A clear as day Square ball for Kerrys 1st goal
Penalty was a dive as the Kerry player felt a hand on his back.
Last free that resulted in winner had two fouls to Roscommon before it ignored and Kerry had 3 man breach before it ignored also.
A better more balanced ref and Roscommon would have won by a few points to spare but losing could now prove very costly in a relegation battle.

People are still stupid enough to believe they care about illegal immigrants. It's never been about that. He as was predicted by many is splitting the country in 2 and causing as much disruption as possible before the mid terms. Possibly not even have the mid terms if they can make that happen.
Training up people in 6 weeks to suddenly become gun carrying ICE heavies wasn't a good idea. Who knew ? All the while spouting lies about millions of criminals. The actual number of criminals are tiny. And the number of serious criminals are miniscule. But Trump and Miller are allowed to say whatever they want. America is a wreck.

Our own ruling classes are bought and paid for too, money is the root of all evil, politicians are just puppets to make voters think they have a say in things on on some tiny levels they do,
but the real control and power is with the money men behind the scenes, while the woke get their knickers in a twist over this and that, the money men are laughing all the way to the banks, which they own too.
Never a dull day with Trump, every day with Biden was dull, I often wondered if he was alive at all or if they were keeping him going somehow on some drugs or other.

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.

I am an Armagh man, but would have relations and spend alot of time in Monaghan, both teams missing alot of men but Monaghan with alot more younger lads getting their first chance, was no real hit in anger at all, no cards either and in reality it was a damp squib, but Monaghan have a fair few promising young lads and it will take 2/3 years for them to settle in, under 20 to senior is a big step up in the modern game and only a handful of exceptional players can do it straight away, those young Monaghan lads will take alot out of this year's division 1 campaign no matter the outcome,

Watched the game back.
23 Galway Kick Outs, we won possession from 7
12 in the first half we won 5
11 in the second half we won 2
20 of the 23 went long and we won possession on 4 of them.
Won 3 from 3 on the short ones.
Unbelievable that he kept going long when you watch it back.

Replying To marty234: "Hi Sligojoe you have to understand zonal defending is not going man to man. Armagh didn't pick up sean o shea. They got criticised. Tyrone pushed out on paudie Clifford and o shea and did good job but left serious space inside for David Clifford. They were criticised then for not doubling up on David.
Donegal man mark the main threat ie David Clifford in this case and then went zonal with the rest.
You can't change your whole defensive set up in a final when you haven't done the other all year. You have to trust it. Our big problem in final was getting our hands on the ball. Our defence caused kerry serious problems when we got that possession. If he'd have marked paudie pundits would have been saying why was gavin white (motm) not picked up or joe o connor. Id argue they did more damage than paudie in the final.
I'd make the point it's a lot of expert pundits having a go at Jim rather than stating the actual and the consequences if we did go man to man on Paudie Clifford. Lazy analysis in my opinion.
Jim will know himself where we fell short. In my opinion it's about getting more primary possession from the restarts than your opposition. You starve the opponent of possession." "You can't change your whole defensive set up in a final when you haven't done the other all year." - is it not on Jim though to have had a plan B in place to at least try when it was clear as day plan A wasn't working? Fail to prepare and all that.

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.
