Replying To S1234: "I mean MEATH who lost to Donegal by 20 points haha and you have the cheek to call someone else out that you don't even know weird altogether !" Why do you keep having a pop at Meath? Meath are a superior football county to Mayo historically in every way possible. They also had a better year than Mayo last year, getting to a semi final whereas Mayo were knocked out at the very first stage. Cavan beating them comfortably deciding that outcome

Replying To Seanfan: "Even if the Brits keft the 6 Cos the Provos were never going to achieve a "32 County Socialist Republic" because most people in Ireland were/are opposed to such a mythical place." A 32 county Republic is not a "mythical place." It was voted for by the Irish people in 1918. The socialist part was stuck on later, ironically by the same people who not only abandoned a 32 county republic, but also any pretence to be socialist!
Sinn Féin are a run of the mill centre left liberal part. They have at last found their true home along with Bacik and Cairns and Murphy. Pity they didn't spare their own people and everyone else all the wasted lives in deaths, prison, and so on before it was handed over to carpet baggers who never had anything to do with the movement when it was pursuing its sole objective of Irish unity.

Why did Ireland opt to play the world champions in their unfamiliar white kit and let South Africa play in their famous green jerseys. Didn't affect the result one iota but seems an odd decision.

In my opinion, SF are liberal Unionists who hate the responsibility of leadership, in Dublin or London.
They like to sue people. Is this the plan for the next 100 years? The likes of Martin McGuinness were decent
people in terms of political vision, but that was the past. I'm thrilled that the gun is out of Irish politics; that's huge, and I do appreciate the SF's role in this.

Congrats to Strokestown Connacht Intermediate champions in some style in MacHale Park. The 9 point winning margin full value for it.
Shane McGinley, Stephen Tigue, Colin Compton, Timmy Gibbons, Colin Neary, Mickey Kavanagh among the stand out players on show

Replying To legendzxix: "When Dublin teams are out of the picture, we see the best of Leinster championship IMHO. Proper Leinster semi finals for that reason. Others will see it differently. So be it." What kind of nonsense is that. Na Fianna were the best team in Ireland last year, so how could it not be the best of Leinster when they were there?
Dublin hurling clubs have represented Leinster very well over the last decade. It's brilliant to see them competing for All-Irelands. The stronger hurling is in more Leinster counties, the better.

Replying To Viking66: "Why watch it then? I watched alot less intercounty 1st Division and Sam Maguire Football for a few years for the same reason." Lots of people stopped watching hurling too, since throwing replaced proper handpassing, and since the steps rule is rarely applied, and fellas can usually overcarry for miles. Ground hurling disappeared with the Offaly side of the 90's, we we haven't seen a well executed drop shot since Pa O'Neill retired from KK no6.

Replying To S1234: "Yes Meath got to a semi and got ansolutely hammered that's nothing to brag about tbh . We lost to Cavan was one of our worst years hence why we have new management. Why do you keep having a pop at mayo ? Maybe you should concentrate on Galway cause you clearly need to !" A semi is nothing to brag about? So the years Mayo made the final in 04 and 06 and got absolutely hockeyed by Kerry, were they not good years because of how they ended? What about 2019 when annihilated in a semi by Dublin?
Meath beat Dublin, Kerry & Galway last year, the 3 most successful counties the game has seen. It was a very good year by any standard, and one Mayo would kill for at the moment
Im mentioning Mayo because they're relevant to the discussion. You keep having pops at Meath for no reason

Replying To Rebel2020: "I found it astonishing that RTÉ were on the air 70 minutes before the start of what was effectively a challenge match marketed as a "test match", considering they only went on air 75 minutes before the start of both All Ireland finals." Not as astonishing as scoring 2 points in the 35 minutes of a second half

Agreed all, a great club and the very best of luck to them from here on in. An inspiration to all other hurling islands in football territory.

When we played them in South Africa last year, they changed for both tests and we wore green.

Replying To FullOfPorter: "In fairness there were multiple reasons. Adams and others saw the potential of political struggle after the hunger strikes. Add to that PIRA was infiltrated to the highest levels. You also had conflict fatigue and a spate of attacks on ordinary Catholics in the early 90s by loyalists. You also had the realpolitik of the end of the Cold War. US tightening up on funds for separtist movements and determined to settle the conflict here. Less allies for republicans to deal with globally after the USSR gone. The likes of Gaddafi completely isolated. They could exit stage left and get something out of it or be ejected through the back door." Even if the Brits keft the 6 Cos the Provos were never going to achieve a "32 County Socialist Republic" because most people in Ireland were/are opposed to such a mythical place.

Replying To updwell: "Of course I'm an Irishman that would like a united Ireland when the majority in the North wants that.I thought most Nationalists in the the North like yourself would be anti Empire but your pro-Russian empire but anti- British Empire." Partition was forced on island in 1921 so that the majority in favour of unity could be ignored.
A border poll is not only illegitimate but would have NO chance o being passed, and little chance even of one being called.
SF and others are happy to spin this as a distraction.

That's the problem though. There is no north. We're an island. We are and always have been the majority
