Replying To CarlowJuniorB:  "Tell you what, there's a few lads in that MLR side that I'd take with the footballers in a heart beat."

Replying To DolmenDave:  "Did well alright. As they all did. No idea about 21s. Maybe you could enlightening us all."

Replying To CarlowJuniorB:  "Ah don't be harsh. We have been known to talk too much about ourselves at times."

Replying To Collio:  "You spoke about him a while back said he was a top player. CF."

Replying To ACarlowGael:  "Hugely disappointing day in Belfast today and the worst I can remember in recent times. I never want to criticise this group as they have given us great days and have given great service to the county (and continue to give) but we were outfought, outworked, outhurled today in nearly every position.

I struggle with the logic of going short on puck outs and general play as often as we did today given we have huge ball winners in the forward line. I understand some part of the set up may have been due to the way Antrim play but once we went 4 or 5 down against the wind, I felt we should have pushed up and hit our big men. It could have played into Antrim's hands but Plan A wasn't working.

It's worth trying to mix things up for the Clare game next weekend. Regardless, it's going to take a huge effort to stay up now.

I think going down to division 2 would have a hugely negative impact. Imagine we won Joe McDonagh this year, playing Leinster Championship in 2027 and have a league campaign of probably Down, Meath, Derry, Donegal, Roscommon and one of Kerry/Westmeath. Even if we don't win Joe McDonagh, it still wouldn't be good preparation for championship. It also might encourage some of our older statesmen to step away.

Anyway, no time to feel sorry for ourselves with a big test against Clare and Kildare to come in the next 2 weeks."

Replying To ITSCHOLAR:  "Fully agree with the above regarding who we could play next year think some of the draw for the hurlers each year was the quality of team we could play against year on year kilkenny,Dublin,Clare,wexofrd ,Waterford if this drop down to the roscommon donegals derrys mayo of the world will we get the same buy in.

With footballers going well and looking good for promotion think next year might see a few hurlers in with them. Dont get me wrong they would be great additions to the team but would set the hurlers back also."

Replying To CarlowJuniorB:  "To be fair I don't think any hurler would drop the hurl and come play football. The good footballers in the hurling clubs just play a side of football. Plus I don't think anyone bar 4 lads at an absolute push gets into the footballers panel.

On a side note it's nice to see the footballers get mentioned on The Sunday Game even if it's just the token minute, recognising Joe's great work done and the likes."

Replying To Collio:  "Fiachra Fitz, Jack Treacy and Jack McCullagh (Free agent) would be 3 anyway who have very strong footballing backgrounds at underage and who would maybe consider the switch, don't think anyone else would consider it that would be making the panel."
