Replying To farneygael3: "Another spanking handed out today" A a few of the naomh conail players owe our club nothing, a few all Ireland medals in that team already. Not to many all Ireland medals in Monaghan

Replying To JimB1991: "Galway are a level or two below the main challengers to Kerry. Horrendously overrated team, I just don't get it. Being better than Mayo is no longer a yardstick for judging all Ireland credentials." Fáilte ar ais a Shéamuisín. We've missed your pearls of wisdom.

Replying To S1234: "Lol how are they in a better position then mayo?
How do you mean arguable? Lol They lost to Meath who got a beating of 20 points by Donegal.....
Top 4 means you were in the semis. Mayo only lost to Donegal by a last minutefluke of a point before they hammered meath and who meath knockedout Galway.
Galway so overated . Oh how are Longford doing btw ?" So Moore's wonderful burst of speed down the wing leaving the Mayo players for dust was a fluke was it? Ha ha, as you'd say yourself. Donegal should have been out of sight that day at half time only for some poor finishing that kept Mayo in it. The Longford poster is correct to say Galway are rated above Mayo at the minute, there's no need to insult his county. Mayo couldn't make it out of a group of four where three qualify. Stop kidding yourself. I've probably less sense replying to your nonsense.

O Sullivan a very popular name in Cork and Kerry.Indeed Cian the footballers parents both come from Kerry and its interesting that two different Tom O Sullivan s have won all stars for Kerry in football also." Two different Dermot Earley's were awarded two all- stars each representing two different counties in two different provinces in two different millennia!

Replying To jacktheboy: "Conor O Donnell was by far Donegals best forward this year, had a great final, if they were giving one forward All Star to Donegal it was him by a mile, Sam Mulroy had a great year and deserves his All Star." I must say I think you are right and Conor O Donnell is very unlucky not to get an all star.Having said that I am delighted for Sam Mulroy as he has been terrific the last few years and comes across as a Gentleman too,Tbf I also think Michael Murphy deserved his all star.

I reckon in the next couple of decades you'll have a semi pro/full pro inter county c'ship with a maximum of ten teams if even that. Maybe you'll have a second division comp made of amateur regional sides and second tier counties

Replying To Gaaforlife2023: "True gaels can like one over other but respect both football as improved from where it was come on.
Yes hurling maybe better still football has improved.
What does dual counties mean as true gaels is it only galway cork tipp because they play Liam Mccarthy as well or kerry antrim offaly included in that they play both
For hurling to grow in single code counties it needs get to get some of reluctant football crowd on board as well" Wexford have 5 All Irelands more than Tipp in football and first county to win a 4 in a row.

If we get back Kieran Thompson next season and find one or two more corner backs, we struggled with pace in the full back line. Keep Ethan and Gallagher and Malone along with roarty and max Campbell, we have the spine of a good team. I can see the older players stepping away, they can't play forever and own us nothing. The most successful spell in our clubs history this past 20 years.
I remember a time when we would be over the moon winning an intermediate championship.
Scotstown look a reasonable good side, a lot of experience mixed in with younger players. The Hughes and mc carron, beggan. No one will beat them easy, but if I was a betting man, my money would be on kilcoo.
As regards the county setup, I hope he gives roarty a rest, don't want to burn the young man out to early.
I can see Max Campbell being drafted in to the setup.
And maybe Malone and Gallagher.

Replying To Longford92: "Dessie dolan would be fantastic appointment, would raise the profile of longford club fixtures. Granard looking for a manager also , will they cross the cavan border again to find the right man to push them to a t least a c/ship quarter final." A serious question, why would he be a fantastic appointment? Is it just his name or what?

Na Fianna beaten is a bit of a surprise but I suppose they were riding their luck a bit in the final v l.S. I thought Lucan were the better team. Still they were great last year and did us proud fair play.

Replying To legendzxix: "I want the spotlight on Tyrone! No two ways about it. They'll be in the All Ireland shake up.
Hard to predict Ulster until the draw is made. Donegal, Armagh and Tyrone the contenders. Monaghan, Derry and Cavan the challengers. At least two contenders will be on the same side of the draw.
What can be said at the moment is that at least one of Donegal, Armagh or Tyrone will be away to a provincial finalist in Round 1 of the All Ireland next year." Kerry are in the best position next year but of course Tyrone are contenders.They have some class players and real classy forwards like McElholm and the Canavan brothers.Ulster though is so tough its a tough battle for the big teams.Any of Donegal Armagh Tyrone Monaghan or Derry can win Ulster and Down and Cavan can take a scalp or two.

Leitrim GAA thread - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Square_B: "It probably is the only solution however does it excuse the fact that there's only 1 referee for the entire of North Leitrim? I get that there's a smaller number of clubs but that's shocking. I doubt any ref is coming over from other counties for 50eur so it maybe also time to look at increasing the fee by a small amount. There will be no games at all if clubs don't step up. The ladies clubs should also be stepping up to provide a few refs also, as far as I'm aware there's no ladies ref in the county." A vicious circle that stems from the failure to deal with repeat offenders. It'd be ironic to expect certain clubs to produce refs given their culture and their attitude towards them. No young person in those clubs is going to consider becoming a ref. They've learnt from a very age that you're expected to argue with and abuse the ref.

The 4 week break didn't help as we seemed to be off the pace especially in the first half.
As you said we are extremely proud of our players. To win the Dr Maguire without Ciaran was a great achievement.

Kilcoo very comfortable last night in Omagh, Loughmacrory struggled with kilcoo intensity and work rate, there key men struggled to get into the game.
Conditions made handling difficult but still some very good football played, chatting to a few Loughmacrory men last night they weren't to downbeat as the team have had an unbelievable year and thats a young team who i think will be back on this stage again.
