Guiney & O Shea were very poor again yesterday. They are very dependant on Clifford and when he is well marked like yesterday they are a very ordinary team."]I agree with you. Rushed championship and it families paying the price. On the Derry game, it's a bit unfair people slating Derry. On 55 minutes they were level and lost the ball inside the Kerry 45, Kerry scored and the game was over. Small incidents. Also on people crying about them hand passing, Dublin hand passed their way to many an All Ireland. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2406 - 01/07/2024 12:52:39 2556218 Link

Replying To Orchardgael22: "You are more than entitled to your opinion and this weekends games were certainly no blockbusters. But gaelic games are so much more than 70minutes of football. In Armagh, we live to watch our team play, and win or lose will continue to turn up for the lads who sacrifice so much for the game. Yes, we played a boring brand of football yesterday and were disappointed by our own performance, but we still had a great day out. If you aren't getting enjoyment out of gaelic football, then maybe the loves gone and you need to find a new sport." Telling a GAA fan to go and find another sport because he rightly calls out the current state of the game is the height of arrogance and not befitting of a gaa fan. tireoghainabu (Tyrone) - Posts: 414 - 01/07/2024 13:19:55 2556231 Link

Replying To shaggykev: "Of the last 21 All-Irelands, only two have not been won by Dublin, Kerry or Tyrone. I have a strong feeling it won't be Kerry this year." That is a crazy stat in fairness. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4661 - 01/07/2024 13:32:24 2556238 Link
Replying To Cuhullain: "Apologies munsterchamps if my post seemed offensive it certainly was not meant to be, my opinion was simply based on Cians contribution to the success of some counties in both codes in achieving top honours. Hurling has been my only field sport so I do recognise limerick's successes and the positives it is ploughing back into the game. I wish you all the best in CP the 7th. who knows I may very well be there." Cian O Neill has a great record as a coach.He was with Cork and managed Kildare during "The Newbridge or Nowhere saga".He was Kerry coach when they won All Ireland in 2014 and he was Tipp coach when they won a Hurling All Ireland.

Would it make too much sense for the GAA to put the All Ireland minor final before the Armagh semi final in Croke Park? Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2406 - 01/07/2024 13:43:03 2556242 Link

Replying To Joxer: "I bet it won't stop." Maybe set up a standalone thread so, to discuss what odds which bookie is giving on who will score first/foul first/pick his nose bla bla bla. The European championship thread is just a write off at this stage. Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1942 - 01/07/2024 13:54:34 2556252 Link

Replying To Galway9801: "Lads could we stop with this gambling crap before it ends up taking over every forum." I agree with your sentiments and reference to gambling in terms of placing money etc.. should be filtered from a GAA forum. However I do think its ok to reference the quoted odds as it is a valid measure of who people in general think are the favourites or otherwise. Like lots of things it's a question of balance between political correctness and freedom of speech. In summary as long as we keep away from references like , "if you place x euro you would make y euro", or "it's like printing money" or any other terms that might encourage gambling . I think its okay to say that Kerry are favourites at such and such a price. I always view the odds on games and championships , but i never place a bet. All you have to do is look at the combined odds on any event and you will realise that the only ones printing the money are the bookmakers. anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 1007 - 01/07/2024 14:38:17 2556274 Link

Replying To LimerickForLiam24: "Donegal will struggle against kerry blanket defence." No guarantee they'll be playing Kerry. Armaghs blanket v Kerrys blanket will be a tough watch. Drax_the_destroyer (UK) - Posts: 564 - 01/07/2024 14:56:01 2556279 Link
