Louth GAA thread - 5 Like(s)
These days are simply beyond my wildest dreams. Each week it just gets better. In the Naul outscoring Dublin 1-9 to 0-1 in second half. The sheer emotional release of Sunday. The endless joy since. And tonight again. Basking in sun all the time. The dog days are over. People we have seem during all the dark days just walking on air. Thinking of those great gaeks who are not around to see it, but also thrilled to see new generations decked on red and white.
Bliss were it in this dawn to be alive but to be Louth is very heaven!

Replying To S1234: "Worried because we cut through you so easily ? Maybe we are just as good as you lot only ever a kick of a ball between us . Difference is you were gifted a penalty in the final that was never a penalty same in 24 .
Gough even admitted it wasn't a free to Gleeson.
Dubs by 4 tommorow!" Will you give it a rest lad. Get out an enjoy some sun.

Replying To Firceall: "[quote=Cockney_Cat: "Saturday 17 May
Leinster MHC semi-final
Kilkenny v Dublin, Nowlan Park, 2pm
Sunday 18 May
Leinster SHC Round 4
Kilkenny v Dublin, UPMC Nowlan Park 3.00pm
Why can't the Minor's game be played before the Seniors?" I think a central council decision was made a few years ago that minor matches should not be held with seniors because it was felt there could be too much pressure on the teenagers. That decision should probably be revisiited in my opinion. I imagine all of the Dublin and KK minors would prefer to play before the seniors. They are probably old enough to learn from one-sided matches matches or from individual mistakes etc.."]That's part of it. That decision was made around the time or not long after minor changed from U18 to U17, because now anybody playing inter-county minor at this time of year is either still just 16 years old or has only recently turned 17. I agree however that it should be revisited.
However, it's not that they can't be allowed. Wexford played Galway last year in a minor & senior double-header at Wexford Park.
With regard to this Kilkenny v Dublin one though, another part of it is that it was set out months ago that the Leinster Minor Hurling semi-finals would be played on Saturday May 17th - i.e. long before it was known that Kilkenny & Dublin would come through the group and preliminary play-offs in such a way as to be facing each other in this one.
Presumably the case that it could have been switched to act as a curtain-raiser for the senior match on the Sunday if both sides agreed. But my guess is that even if that was attempted, Dublin wouldn't agree to it. And I don't mean that in any bad way about Dublin. If I was the Dublin manager, I'd be highly unlikely to agree to it either.

Oh Lord would you stop your rubbish.Mayo got plenty to win game if they could and they didn't.David Gough should not have said what he did without admitting every other mistake he made in the same game.He didn't just make one mistake in the game and Mayo got their fair share of frees that day too.It will be close games tomorrow as always and either team could win.Hopefully Galway will but who knows.Meanwhile stop being so bitter.Its not good for your health.

Replying To S1234: "Not until McStay goes I'd say same with O ' Hora." Clare, you're in a bad state if you need Cillian. He is currently scoring in a very poor Mayo senior football league. He is too slow, you've no pace in that Mayo forward line as it is. Move on. How is your friend Jim1991? PS it is disappointing the way you hide behind a forum and slate Kevin McStay after all he has given Mayo. Ha!

Replying To endgame: "Mayo U20s beaten by a point by Louth in the All Ireland semi final. As with the Connacht Final v Roscommon, Mayo impressive up front but very open at the back. Louth ran through their Defence at times. Roscommon might well have been there playing the wee county last night. The disallowing of the Roscommon goal in injury time in the Connacht Final for an alleged square ball is as bad a refereeing decision as you'll see all Summer." Jesus time to let it go. Underage is a development competition. Great if you win it out but not the b all. Get a few players who can make an impact at senior…that's the key. I could write a book on referee decisions…we all have soon stories .

Wexford Hurling 2025 - 2 Like(s)
Well all, maybe its the sunshine, maybe that its Friday, maybe how verdant the beautiful Wexford countryside looks in May BUT I was compelled to login with a few lines.
In the car and I heard our own Larry O'Gorman on 'Liveline' taking about county songs and they gave a blast of 'Dancing at the Crossroads' and I was instantly transported back to '96 a time that is still a lifetime highlight and something that I wish not only us in Wexford get to experience again but as Larry today said, all counties. The energy, the buzz, the sense of togetherness is just unbeatable, its the best drug. Thinking on it and some of the comments here about some of the best underage hurlers who dropped away from the game, something came to mind, that's belief. We need to believe we can do better, that winning is possible, making up the numbers just doesn't cut it for me, we're Wexford, a county with an ancient past - that long pre-dates the creation of the 'county' - we are Uí Ceinnselaig, an area and a people defined by the sea on two sides and mountains on the others, an island sorts until modern road and rail opened up access.
So to tomorrow and the game with Offaly, we HAVE to be positive and I don't just mean the team. Supporters need to support, I remember a Tyonne backroom member saying of Wexford park following visit that it was 'tribal' what a thing to say, that's us a tribe, lets not forget that.
Offaly and Kilkenny are coming to take something away from us, a way of life, a culture, to put our great past in the shade, sorry lads, that's an affront and should be met like this. The team stand for us, for this culture and past, its a big responsibility which I hope they will shoulder with some relish. Loch Garman Abú.

Replying To themaddog: "It's remarkable, there's evidence of a Donegal player being assaulted when the game ended, another being raked while on the ground and, somehow, the conversation is around something that might have been said." The catholics/ nationalists in the six counties have listened to taunting about their identity for over a hundred years, shameful that they have to listen to taunts from a fellow Gael. Reading the comments on this topic there isn't much sympathy for the Donegal player in question.

You and TheMaster having many disagreements? Nonsense. If you did, the other stopped replying, sort of backing each other up, "not to air the dirty laundry in public"!" Mad that you'd make up stuff like this after all these years. This has no basis in reality. In fact I had so many disagreements with him you are comically wrong here. The levels of personal bitterness from you and your new buddy are absolutely off the charts! It's actually a bit worrying for grown men.

Mayo GAA Thread - 1 Like(s)
Replying To yew_tree: "Mayo club football been very poor in recent years but this years has seen a big improvement so far. Good quality high scoring games….you been to many yourself?" I've been to more games than Clare from the blog, aka S1234 and more club games in my life than her other pseudonym (JimB1991).
I've been to 5 games this year in Mayo as I've a friend associated with a certain club and another involved in one of the Mayo backroom teams. Have you seen any Galway club football yourself? As with Galway league games, you can't judge any forward as the intercounty defenders are with their respective squads. Intercounty football is all about pace and Cillian doesn't have it any more. He might kick 10 or 12 scores but he won't at Intercounty level no matter how romantic the notion is. Time waits for no man. We've similar in Galway with BmcH at Mountbellew, he scores double digits every week, but could he get them scores of a Tyrone, Kerry, Armagh or Donegal defense? I would doubt it, as free kicks aren't conceeded in the kill zone and he lacks the yard of pace unfortunately for us.

No disrespect to them but come on. Would the Dubs , kerry , Galway be going oh no worries for cavan we've that in the bag .
But cause it's mayo you all love to go against us. Fair enough time for siege mentality!!
Cavan are decent but hard for them in having facing a division 1 team.
People love to write mayo off . I totally get it I nearly do myself sometimes. .
But absolute joke people are like Cavan will beat mayo.
If we fuck ourselves over and loose to Cavan season over .
Cillian o Connor, padraid o Hora, oisin mullin back from Aussie land 26 ( good source ), fully fit paddy durcan. Tommy conroy . New management were not far off in 26." O'Hora??? You're having a laugh. Cillian has been one of the best for years but his time has passed. I'd love to know your source on Mullin because that's not true.

The Kilkenny thing is so strange. Through the years getting over them nearly always meant you were going to win something looking at the 90s and 05.
In the last couple of years getting a result over them has just distracted from the fact we're getting progressively weaker.
I still have no ticket for today but have the tab open..... Who am I fooling?
Beautiful day, beautiful county. My 6 year old nephew asked me to bring him hurling tomorrow so he's going to the park today for his first game. C'mon Wexford!!

Before that they were being talked up as champions elect.
I just feel with 7 weeks to plan, they will have a cracking chance against a wounded Armagh" He won't be matchfit but maybe a few games off the bench. Not returning from an injury, has his head sorted now and looked fit at the Ulster final.
