Replying To kerry4sam25: "Jack Barry back centre field is a game changer. Marc O'Se said he was flying in training. Kerry by 4-6" Jack is not even on the panel. You did not even bother to check the team which was announced yesterday.
I doubt you are from Kerry.

Replying To Fionn: "Hard to believe that Stephen Cluxton made his championship debut in goal for Dublin on 27th May 2001.
Absolutely bonkers - 24 years ago.
9 All Ireland medals
18 Leinsters
5 League medals
7 All Stars
Footballer of the Year
He will be 44 this year. Most likely his final season playing for the Dubs." Thats some medal haul, To play intercounty football at the highest level for 24 years in this day and age is incredible, Well done Stephen I doubt we'll ever see the likes of that again.

Replying To jobber: "Are you for real.Name me 1 hurling club that doesn't have footballers.How many football clubs don't have hurlers?
Delvin is a dual club as are Raharney-Killucan ,Castletown-Malachys,Brownstown-St Pauls in all but name.
Is all of Westmeath north of Mullingar a small pocket." Thanks for clarifying that there is, in fact, only one dual club in the entire county, in Delvin. Raharney, Killucan, Castletown Geoghegan, St Malachy's, Brownstown and St Paul's are, in fact, single code clubs. I recognise that these clubs you listed in the small pockets have players who play another code with another club. There is a small amount of players playing both in comparison to players solely playing football I can tell you that much. Temple already mentioned that Castledaly, Moate, Tubberclair and Caulry all have no hurlers. Athlone and Garrycastle, you could count on one hand the number of hurlers within their squads combined. Temple listed off nearly as many football clubs as there is altogether in hurling that have hardly any hurlers. I doubt St Loman's and Kinnegad have many hurlers either. But yet the county board are suggesting to change the football structures to 'protect the dual players'. There wouldn't be anyone from these clubs Jobber has falsely listed as dual clubs on the committee?

Replying To Cabbagepatch1667: "The caveat has always been they will avoid previous parings where possible. Obviously if everyone has played each other, it can't be avoided." No they don't, why are Donegal playing Monaghan this weekend then? Donegal should be playing Meath and it could have been Galway v Monaghan, Monaghan could also have played Dublin and Tyrone could have played Galway as this would have avoided all the previous encounters. The CCCC make it up as they go along.

Replying To tirawleybaron: "Considering the demise of Parnells and the relevations that they were paying players to play in the Dublin County championship (which is likely not an isolated situation), should all urban clubs be limited to selecting players living in their specific locality only.
More so, should the county boards in Dublin, Antrim, Cork etc - take steps to ensure this stuff doesn't happen" Didn't a high profile player in your own county move to a more high profile club from his own down the road not so long ago?

Replying To Square_B: "You wouldn't consider loosing to New York a low? He should have got the gate after that. It was an all time low (at the time) and the next one was recent. The jury is still out on the current man. However, any man that needs another county level manager to get over the line isn't much of a manager but like fools we agreed to it and footed up the cost of it. It certainly got us far...." Someone losing to New York had been coming for a while - Lietrim had been a few close calls before that (2003 and 2018). New York gave the Rossies a scare in 2016 and Sligo in 2022, so beating Leitrim in 2023 wasnt such a huge shock. They also gave Laois a good rattle in 2024.
I would say not being able to field an adult senior football team is a lower point by a county mile.

The rules are different between the quarter-finals (where a previous match from the provincials could be repeated) and the semi-finals (where no previous ties will be repeated, if possible). It's not obvious why the rules are different in the two cases but they were published long in advance. So the conspiracy theory of the CCCC making it up as they go along can be debunked.

Replying To FullOfPorter: "Do they have to get the clubs to vote on a reappointment? Maybe they waiting on feedback from players as well." Going to clubs/delegates is the normal procedure our neighbours Mayo seem to overshoot the runaway.
Our county board were willing to keep McStay and Cunningham on for another year or two but both to the surprise of the county board stepped down, McStay said he was retiring from management then and the manner of the Mayo send off I bet he wished he did now.
Davy Burkes three year term is up now so it's up to the board and delegates to weigh up where we are and where we want to go. Their decision will show what ambitions they have. Should also we noted that we have already entered transitional period, lads in their 30s their best days are behind them and some will now retire. A number of young players have been given their debuts with many more to follow. Some will struggle to make the step a natural process but over the next 3/5 we'll need a shrewd management team in place to guide them along. Davy Burke with his different coaches every year is not that man IMO.

Anybody else having issues buying tickets for the hurling semi finals. I have a code from the club for ticketmaster and it is showing plenty of seats left, but every time I go to buy tickets I get an error code U001. I googled that error but could be anything from them thinking I'm a bot to sold out to site issues.

I hear ye lads but Tierney is capable of getting a few goals against Meath, he might have been quiet but on Sunday its likely we will see him to good effect. He is one of our most dangerous players when on his game.

Replying To Onion_Sack: "I think he might also have a couple of O'Byrne Cup winners medals (that he's probably long forgotten about)
Was it 7 of those 9 AI winners medals as Captain?
And, he should be at least in double figures for All Stars! Was well rode a few times!
Some haul! Be difficult for anyone to ever get near that!
Might there be one final addition to come!?" Yes, O'Byrne Cup, Leinster u21, Leinster minor, and a Sigerson Cup medal also.
He didnt win an All Star 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 or 2020.....
Some medal haul, and some longevity.

County Teams Expenditure At €55M Vs Amateur Status? - 1 Like(s)
Definitely needs to be caps on expenditure.
Dublin spend the same as Kerry or Mayo.
Half the Mayo team are paid mileage as they live away from home. No one in Dublin lives away from home so there is no mileage for them. How do they spend the same money? Bigger backroom team so more payments to coaches etc.
Both Mayo and DUblin spend significantly more money than Cavan, Lietrim etc - despite their seasons only being a few weeks longer these days.
All Gate receipts should be centrally controlled and paid out for mileage only.
All sponsorship should be pooled - i.e Dublin and Lietrim pared for a Sponsor - money shared equally for use on both county teams
Counties then do their own fundraising for internal expenses (running club championships, underage coaching etc)
