Do Kerry Get Frees A Bit Too Easy? - 1 Like(s)
It's laughable that some Mayo posters are butthurt about some Clifford cuteness after lauding Cillian O'Connor for similar for years. Indeed COC did it to a level probably unseen before or since in the game and it was the main thing that turned him from an average footballer to an effective footballer

Replying To dave1988: "No we didn't give up many goal chances last weekend but I do think we give the player shooting so much space and time With no pressure or anything on them. That won't work In a couple of weeks. I was very optimistic at the start of the year with everyone back playing we have a strong panel but can anyone say we have improved in the last couple of years? I think we are gone backwards and look like a team lost in attack and defense. I know lots on here are saying wait and judge us on championship form but the same was said last year and even though we got to last 8 we beat a poor Tyrone team to get there. Il be praying our lads can turn on when it matters most but it's not that easy" I'd agree with that and ur right we said the same last year during league campaign
For me it's not even about winning so much as form and competitiveness and a bit of toughness about us - none of the top teams will fear us come championship whilst we got the win against a Tyrone team in disarray we folded totally against Armagh in the qtr finals last year - and unfortunately I'm not convinced that's going to change this year so whether we get to a qtr final or last 16
Or whatever - it's the going out with a whimper is the really frustrating thing and it really is starting to feel like a team that's never really fulfilled it's potential but we'll see
Hope the weather stays like this for the weekend in London ! When all Is said and done I love supporting the rossies enjoy the weekend anyone travelling !

Do Kerry Get Frees A Bit Too Easy? - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Aibrean: "You need to produce some evidence and, like McStay, not make wild statements.
The game is on TG4 Player; have a look and come back with specific incidents where Kerry got frees they did not deserve and where Mayo did not get frees that they deserved.
I do remember:
Reape hitting Clifford and not being penalised, Aiden O Shea being penalised 3 times in about 5 minutes just after half time and not getting a card (one of which was nasty enough on Jason Foley) and Paul Geaney having to go off after a blow to the head.
I'll have a look at the game and come back with some evidence." Reape got a yellow card for the shoulder on Dave Clifford after Coldrick consulted the linesmen. Seemingly Gucci, Versace and DKNY were referenced in that conversation. Dave had a lovely relaxing lie down for himself trying to influence the colour, then made a Lazarus-like recovery to rejoin the action. Surprised some milking machine ad didn't appear on TG4 for the duration of his recuperation from such a horrendous challenge! Every county are at it to varying levels. Used to be the falling over holding the face so the ref would stop play to kill the opponents momentum. But we shouldn't be surprised.

New Format 2026 All Ireland - 1 Like(s)
At the end of the day, provincial winners were the only counties to go direct to the All Ireland quarter finals. All others had to negotiate the qualifier route. As league qualification has now essentially replaced the traditional qualifiers - provincial winners only should be qualifying through provinces. All others based on league qualification. Provinces themselves want to reward provincial winners. Crazy to reward provincial winners and runners up the same. All provinces regardless of seeding etc. can only produce one winner.

NFL Predictions Competition 2025 - FINAL LEADERBOARD - 1 Like(s)
Not much to it.
Excel spreadsheet:
Worksheet1:
Column 1 = player name
Column 2 = week 1 score
Column 3 = week 2 score
etc
Last column = total score (Just a basic sum function here to tally up the points from week 1, week 2, etc
Worksheet 2:
I copy out the player name column and e.g. week 1 score column
Sort it on cell values largest to smallest
This gives me the weekly scores by player in descending order
Worksheet 3:
I copy out the player name column.
Then I copy and paste the scores from the total score column into note pad first. Copy them all again from notepad into an Overall score column in worksheet 3.
Sort it on cell values largest to smallest
This gives me the overall scores by player in descending order.
There is undoubtedly a smarter way of doing it using Excel but this worked for me.
Drawback is I have to manually add everyone's scores each Sunday night/Monday morning.

It took decades of both Parties abusing the taxpayers to accumulate this National Debt so of course I don't expect it to be solved anytime soon but I believe DOGE is a step in the right direction.

An amalgamation of St. Pats, St. Farnans and Easkey beat Enniscrone by 31 points last night in the B u15 league.
How would the CCC allow an amalgamation of three clubs be allowed to form in the first place and then to compete at that level? Surely they should be in A.
I didn't agree when it was our own club amalgamating and I don't agree now. If you do, it should be straight to A, unless special permission is granted based on outstanding circumstances. Our young players deserve better.
The last time I remember an amalgamation of that scale was when St. Molaise Gaels were formed.

Replying To reffingmad: "We were way off on Saturday night, was nothing to do with fitness levels,
Every game this year we have coughed up 4 or 5 goal chances, same again on Saturday.
Our goalie kicked 2 straight out of play.
We didn't create a goal chance of note.
We should get over london but I'd be very worried what Galway do to us." We certainly did not give up 4 or 5 goal chances to Monaghan last Saturday and we created more chances ourselves. I don't really remember Conor Carroll having to carry out major saves either. The 6 two pointers (12 points - equivalent to four goals) won the match for Monaghan. Having been at all league matches, one major issue is that we have not taken several clear cut goals chances over the league, primarily by our forwards shooting too high (easy to save) or wide. I was in Croke Park on Saturday and Sunday and the four teams that won (Limerick, Monaghan, Offaly, Kerry) took the majority of their goal chances.
Some additional shooting practice is required rather than blame the defence all the time.
Work is required at both end's of the pitch which is achievable.

New Format 2026 All Ireland - 1 Like(s)
Replying To tirawleybaron: "The New format for the 2026 All Ireland will probably last in format, but not in qualification.
As long as the 4 losing interprovincial finalists get auto entry to the Sam Maguire, you dont have a proper merit based qualification. In any year where Mayo/Galway and Roscommon are on the same side of the draw in Connacht and where Kerry and Cork are on the same side in Munster, your getting auto qualification for teams who aren't good enough for that standard. A similar scenario would be the case in Leinster if Louth/Meath and Dublin had been on the same side of the draw this year." Yeah, losing Provincial finalists is not a high enough qualifying standard for the All Ireland.
