Replying To Commodore: "I wouldn't get too carried away with chat of League finals, Mayo were not at full strength and the elements was a factor that first half. We got Dublin on opening league match, they came back strong at us and a understrength Kerry side came back strong at us, as did Mayo yesterday. We have tough games against Armagh, Galway, Roscommon and Monaghan still ahead. I would expect at least 3 of those teams to present a more complete 70 minute performance and not allow us to get ahead at HT, which will be likely if we are fielding more inexperienced players in those games for long periods.
Mulreaney is really challenging for a starting place in the summer, in fact, I think Shaun Patton will be fighting now to get back in the team.
McCahill had a brilliant debut, definitely looks like a bright addition, both him and Shea Malone injecting energy into our attack. Defensively" Mulreanny has been a very capable deputy, is a good shot stopper and a threat from long range frees.
But the kick-out is the key attribute that a goalkeeper is measured by these days, and in that regard, I think Patton is still well ahead.

Replying To Fit15: "It is what it is, a county team where two players Brannigan and O Hanlon would get on the county champions Scotstown team tells you where we are, never mind the injured players, realistically we are never going to win an all Ireland the best we can hope for is an ulster title and at the minute we're in with Cavan Antrim Fermanagh,and junior footballers is not the way forward no matter what the manager thinks,the good coach bounce lasts one year and then they see what we have and move on quick, and this is what we're left with now and sad to say but it could be a long road back to be even competitive when it matters, in the summer time" How have you come to this conclusion. Scotstown are county champions and Ulster champions and it is a fantastic achievement. However only for the boot of Rory Beggan they would not of beaten Kilcoo. Also think of all the times they have been beaten by other county champions Brigids, Kilcoo, Crossmaglen, Gaoth Dobhair, Glen etc. So yes Scotstown are by far the best club team in Monaghan when compared to some of the other county champions they are still that bit off them.
So to say only two players on this Monaghan team would start for Scotstown is a ludicrous statement.

Fair play to the lads on a powerful win yesterday. Under a lot of pressure and pulled out a very strong win to put us back in contention. Manager and players deserve the credit. I don't think we will be in the shakeup for promotion, but this year is about trying lads out and trying new things and getting a mix that works. Lots of positives from yesterday.

Wexford Hurling Thread - 2 Like(s)
Replying To StoreysTash: "I know I taught the same but its fine, I've got more top level county medals at underage and adult than any Taghmon man in history unless he transferred to another club. If I end up back in Wexford some day, I'll be back to my own club anyway and I'll get my coaching advice there from those who did it at the top level." Fairly harsh on a man doing all he can to try improve our fortunes . Whilst you are out of the country there are many still here with a possible higher hurling pedigree than the above said man but dont give much or anything to the game after they retire. Whilst he loves and breathes it .
Loads lads out there will say sure I ve forgotten more than those coaches will ever know .
Still theres No point in them keeping it a secret go out and spread the word rather than be a negative .

Replying To KingdomofBreifne: "Stop with the patting them on the head. It's pathetic. I can't understand why this sort of stuff doesn't drive them mad. Monaghan have zero chance of winning the all Ireland. They couldn't do this with a forward of the calibre of Mcmanus, they've no chance with the current bunch. Unfortunately, we're miles off too but no one is condescendingly giving us this head patting." Why are you over here talking division 1?
Start planning for your return to division 3 in 2027

The negativity on this forum is staggering, far worse than on any other county forum, meant to be a place to discuss and share info on matters relating to Westmeath Gaa in all four codes, that's no longer the case as a few posters, approx 5-6 have decided to use it to vent at all and sundry, the recent posts by some lads wouldn't be uttered in a public forum as they'd be ridiculed and rightly so, pity as quite a few posters put up useful and interesting info and opinions but the few bitter and angry ones are like Trump's supporters, shout loudly and ignore any facts.

Replying To Royaler89: "Very hard to see Louth getting anything out of their remaining games against Tyrone, Cavan, Derry and Kildare. I'd fear for Louth that they will be going to division three and playing tailteann cup football this year." Given they were a point ahead against Meath until the last kick, I wouldn't be so quick to write them off. Louth have shown plenty character and have some quality footballers. If anything, Kildare have been flakier and Cavan were far from impressive yesterday.

Replying To Brendanj: "the meeting at the Park Hotel should have been enough to confirm this but instead they ignore the Clubs and players and use their own votes to push through with it, it's called executive aggrandizement. This scandal further demonstrates the growing disconnect between the Board and the Clubs. It obviously dictated the mood on the team bus going to Newry yesterday going by the first half performance. It was foolish thinking we were going to see a better future for Westmeath football with the change of leadership, going nowhere fast with this Circus.
Thats an outrageeous statement, do you seriouly think the decision on the football championship last Thursday night had an impact on the performance in Newry. Please give the players some respect, the 2026 club championship was the last thing on the last thing on their minds.
A lot of clown talk on here about the county board, keyboard warriors if you ask me. At the end of the end of the day the best team in each club championship will win. Like it or not the board are a product of the clubs, these positions are ultimately ratified by the clubs. The them and us argument is a moot point.
People lashing out will that the COE will not get built either, all pub talk if you ask me. We are where we are because as a county we lack the ambition and desire to be better, end of story." Hi Brendan, can you confirm whether or not Killucan had 4 votes (Club vote, Secretary, Assistant Treasurer and Minor Board Chairman), as suggested by a contributor here, at the meeting last Thursday night? The Executive Committee is made up of 22 persons, nearly half as many clubs in the entire County. Can you confirm how many were present to cast their vote? Enough to sway the vote anyway. If you think it's clown talk, you have your head in the sand. Clubs, players and supporters alike are absolutely sick to the teeth, the elephant in the room is the long awaited Centre of Excellence - where are we going to get the millions to build it? What progress has been made to date? Have we got planning permission yet or what's the latest story? Are we sitting on the coffers of €480,000 from one fundraiser and hoping some Chinese Tycoon might fancy us? The County Senior team could not get a pitch to train on last week before the Down game, can you believe that. What hope have our County Senior team if they can't get a pitch to train on? The weather is not an acceptable excuse at this level. The County players are representing their Clubs many of which have been shafted with the change of Championship structure. Matters off the pitch can have a profound impact on team morale. Do you understand the concept of a tiered Championship? I had a good laugh at your last sentence, "we are where we are because we lack the ambition and desire to be better" and you are standing up for the County Board? Chat later, Brendan.

Not sticking the knife in or anything just curious?" The latter, though some who want to stir things will argue the former.

Replying To TobeaRossie: "Great to see a bit of nastiness and some 'dark arts' coming into this Roscommon team. Far too often down the years we have been beaten because we were too nice on the pitch, don't get that this year at all. Still work to do but yesterday was a very satisfying result." You'll win nothing being soft at this level. This was a fantastic result and importantly two wins in a row in The Hyde. Dowd and Co have done a great job. Can I just say fair play for organising the kids meet and greet too and thank you to the players for participating. Very important for the future and creates a lot of good will in the county.

Amazing result yesterday in Ruislip. We remain off the top of the table because of a solitary one point loss to Wicklow in our opening match. Worrying we fell so far behind in the first half but Stephen Poacher made all the right sideline moves and lads responded heroically. Barry starts on any team in the country, Actually a better all around performer than Keith Beirne ever was. All due respects to Keith, Div 4 is incredibly tight from 1 thru 5. Fixtures are actually in our favour on the run in, Antrim is a must win at home. Longford is essentially a home game as numbers of supporters should make their voices heard, Carlow may be home and dry by the time we meet. Other results will be fascinating to follow, London will take points off other teams and I cant see both Waterford and Antrim finishing without a point or 2.We still remain a little soft at times in defense but we are scoring majestically when needed, Goalkeeping issue should now be sorted and consistancy in the back will keep us right up there at the finish, No reason to believe we cant get promoted.

Replying To Oddball: "In all fairness, Jack Duggan is a Longford man playing for Roscommon through his fathers routes.
I have no shame in admitting that, but I see some of our fans do.
Yes, he supported Roscommon as a young lad but also supported Longford, like any young child who has parents from different counties.
But at the end of the day, he was reared in the parish of Clonguish, County Longford!!!" Darcey was a good player..hmmm.

Replying To Square_B: "Lad, I think we're headed for Croke Park if we keep everyone fit. If.
I had no hope at the start of the season but I've seen enough over the last month to make that accessment. I said it after the Wicklow game, Barry McNulty would have destroyed Wicklow. 2 points on the board with him. He destroyed London yesterday so if we can keep him fit, we're going up. An interesting few weeks ahead. Leitrim Abu!" Leitrim victory over London of almost historic proportions yet most of the posters seem to be from other counties which is of no interest to us Leitrim supporters .Am unashamedly biased but believe this team will go all the way with quality players like Barry,Tim,Ryan Gaffey and several others who showed their battling spirit against a strong London who are still in the fight. Next round of games could sort out contenders but am confident Leitrim will add 2 more points against Antrim having home advantage & a dry pitch.Up the Green & Gold!

I know misery loves company but you wont have company for much longer. Enjoy Division 3 or maybe like a few years ago Division 4. Cop yourself on, ye are light years behind us. As for your Senior clubs,they would struggle in Junior in Monaghan.

Replying To peiledoir20: "Definitely unfair to call him a free kick merchant but I feel he has been over hyped. His biggest haul came against New York a couple of years ago. He probably looks a bit better given the rest of the Mayo forwards fall so short. Roarty marshalled him well yesterday and even outscored him from play." He doesn't score enough from play in big games but always has a big total in league and championship. Most of his scores are from Frees. No one hypes him apart from Mayo fans. If that is their marquee forward for the next while, they'll struggle to win a Connacht never mind an all Ireland.
