Replying To Gaa_lover: "Nothing Moran has done in managing/coaching so far that would suggest he may be great.
His short time as forwards coach with Monaghan got plenty of media hype and most of those pundits then ignored Monaghan got knocked out of the championship with 45% shooting efficiency. Moran probably needs to manage Mayo U20s first and get a bit more experience before making the step up." James Horan and Stephen Rochford had no prior intercounty experience before getting the Mayo job and both did pretty well.
Kevin Mcstay and his backroom team were stacked with intercounty experience and it was a complete flop.
I don't know if Andy will be a great manager but I'd still pick him over McEntee.

Replying To GDL: "Would you have some respect. What qualifications have you to be questioning professional medics? Some of the best resourced sports teams in the world have players that have injuries that are difficult to repair/rehab. Our players are amateur and unpaid. What they do as private citizens is none of your business. Finally, if you're going to say someone can't be trusted, at least have the decency to post your name and contact, so they or their legal representatives can discuss the issue with you. Cop on." You'd be great craic on Liveline

Its effectively a new sport now. Those who can think on their feet and innovate next season will do well.
A manager who isn't afraid to try things is required.
One thing in Morans favour is that he had all the players in Leitrim togged and ready to play. The man who replaced him lost half the dressing room and couldn't field a team at one point - while blaming Moran for his woes.
Moran was a very clever footballer - who didn't have pace, height or physical strength yet still won footballer of the year. He improved every year he played. If he can transfer that into his players then he will have a hell of a team.

Replying To brayballer: "I hear you brother.Tbf Kerry are nt bad but i think we can be contenders next year." All joking aside though, I don't think that Kerry team are as good as they were made look towards the later stages of the champo. I think the new rules skewed everything, some got to grips with it better and quicker than others, we were a total disaster with them. I also agree we should have beaten Armagh.
Paul Flynn said back in June that he thought D'Arcy was the man for the Job, and referred to him as a "phenomenal operator." That's good enough for me!
I think he'll really freshen things up and get to grips with the new rules a lot better, and as Fionn says he might be able to entice back one or two big names.
So if all can come together I don't think we'll be too far off next year!

Replying To Trump2020: "You missed the whole POINT of my post. I'll try again. If Trump was in the Files and you were running against him for the Presidency why wouldn't you release the Files?!? Slam dunk! Concentrate on reading rather than insults." Coming from the person who could not see trump winning the election some neck to call someone clueless
Stevie wonder could see he had a great shot of winning even me who has no knowledge of politics could see he would likely win like 2016

Replying To FallenStar: "You'd be great craic on Liveline" Where have you been hiding? You're the lad who'd be on live line, you've been whining and putting the boot into the squad for a number of years. Nobody on the forum has the right to call out amateur players or tell them what to do. I've just got respect for the players and backroom who give so much.

Replying To TheFlaker: "I don't usually respond to people i think are clueless but I will make an exception. So here we go:
1. The Democrats didn't spend weeks and weeks on television making wild declarations about the Epstein files and making promise after promise that they would be released.
2. Trump isn't going to reduce the debt in American while he is in office he is actually going to increase it. And he will pull back on his macho trade stance as time goes on.
I was no great fan of Biden and Harris but your posts are absolutely daft." You missed the whole POINT of my post. I'll try again. If Trump was in the Files and you were running against him for the Presidency why wouldn't you release the Files?!? Slam dunk! Concentrate on reading rather than insults.

Replying To Fionn: "Are you on the wind up..????
Kerry beat the top 3 of Ulster and beat them all well.
They didnt even have to hit top gear.
Timed their run perfectly and nearly all their players had returned from injury in time for the final.
Their plan and timing worked.
Dont be doing what a lot of their fans do - undermine our All Ireland victories because of the opposition each year....!
(You only have to look at a recent nonsense post from one of them on this thread from a few days ago about Mayo being perennial losers).
Give credit where is is due.
They were the best team this year, end of.
As were we, for nearly a full decade.
Speaking of which, DF should have won more than he did with us imo.
Our new manager will be taking over a shadow of the team DF had to work with.
A much more difficult assignment, and our expectations need to be set accordingly." Ah fair enough Fionn.I hold my hands up here.I was just wound up by another contributor. I actually do respect Kerry and I often go to games with one of my best buddies who is a Kerryman.Tbf I always found their fans sound and always shake your hands after game.I go to Kerry every year with my buddy and they actually like the Dubs down there although they hate losing to us. i love young Clifford and he is probably the best player Ive ever seen. I had the pleasure of meeting him too while on holiday in the KIingdom and he is a real sound lad. Kerry deserved to win the All Ireland and I was actually cheering for them but I just dont think they are as unbeatable as many say. Sure before the final most of the pundits were picking Donegal and now after beating Donegal they are unbeatable. They have the Cliffords O connor and O shea and White but the rest while good players are no better than most other players. I just think that if we get our house in order I think we have a great chance next year. Im really looking forward to the league game under lights in croker and who knows maybe a certain midfielder might make an appearance.

Replying To PoolSturgeon: "Turloughmore 4/7 Clarinbridge 6/4. Odds for their match this weekend. Anyone able to give a reason for those odds cos they seem way off to me. A game that could go either way I would have thought." Turlough good league and they will be favourites against everyone in the competition with the squad they have this year, would probably be an even money either side game if they met Loughrea. Not sure if Clarinbridge will have a full deck for this one and if they have learned anything from previous years, they need to be peaking later in the year rather doing their best hurling in the group stages. Either way Bridge will have a big say in winning the cup in a few months time.

Replying To clooney: "I would agree with you if Cork won there would not have been a word about anything why on Earth would he lose the DR 6 points up a goal before half time all looking great but hey don't let the truth get in the way of a good story. Cork came back out far too complacent and Tipp wired into game Cork hit woodwork 4 or 5 ties 2 of them should have been goals small margine can make all the difference Tipp should have been dumped out in Ennis when Clare levelled weren't went on to be Championship winners Small margins" what a stupid post if this if that....if i did 2 different numbers last sat night id have won the lotto......tipp drew with limerick beat clare waterford galway kilkenny and hammered cork.....they were the best team in the country this year.

Why do you call me his admirer when I just point out he posts in Galway hurling thread and has input on that??
Why are you convinced he is a bot when I see him talking about cappatagle
I would agree his off the wall comments are more out there
I would also say the good stuff he has done is ignored by likes of you or media.
He helped get India Pakistan issue calmed.
He dominated von der lyuen and got a more favourable deal for his country
I would also agree with his cut in fundings and savings in relation to DEI and cutting out gender ideology in schools which he has been criticised for
I don't believe that should be thought in schools

Clare, Limerick, Tipperary And Waterford Ruining Munster Football And All Ireland Championship? - 1 Like(s)
Clare have beaten Waterford and Tipperary over the last two years to take the place of a higher league opponent. Down were denied an All Ireland place in 2024 and Offaly were denied an All Ireland place in 2025.
With provincial finalists currently qualifying for the All Ireland series, arguably all provinces should have their top 2 ranked counties on either side of their draw.
A few years ago Sligo beat London and New York to qualify for the All-Ireland. Meath lost out then on that occasion despite remaining in Division 2!

Also coverage of protests against trump are covered more favourably then pro trump protests.
His appearance gesticulating are openly mocked by media.
You have lots of celebs talk show hosts who use their platform to critique him more then any other previous president
Outside his disgraceful treatment of Zelensky not much has changed for me. Dislike he is a lapdog to Israel but I can't really criticise as would be same story no matter who is in charge. The dye was well cast on that before he was in charge
The mention of 99 nato I'm sure was just sarcastic exaggeration but he has got USA a better deal for that.
