Replying To Michaelbeag: "We do attend and live stream just u try and ram ur opinion on this and ur other forum
So there's not much point discussing." That's great you attend or live stream U20 or U17 games, the actual attendance figures and lack of discussion on this or any other Connacht county thread on here speaks for itself but blame me for it?
For the record this is the only forum I'm on and on it for over a decade with this one and only username. I suggest whatever issues you are having elsewhere you need address it directly.

Doubt people in Philippines would think it was good for themselves. NOT the fault of anyone who comes here I stress." That's a whole other discussion. I'm not saying I'm in favour of mass migration. I am making the point that humans are motivated by more things than money.
We need immigration to plug skills gaps. I believe this should be carefully controlled as it is in Canada, Australia etc.
Not all societies/cultures are compatible either.

Not sure why you are so uptight after all his point on Connacht Underage group games isn't wrong, mainly famiily members of the players that attend. At 12€ a match to watch I wouldn't say the interest is high but credit to the Connnacht GAA for streaming every game, remember some big senior Division 1 games wasn't streamed this spring.

Replying To LeitrimLover94: "Why are GAA pricing Sligo Leitrim game at €30? That's absolutely ridiculous and will certainly turn off a number of fans who would have gone at a fair price" Especially if you're bringing kids, with getting food, diesel etc. The Connacht council must have the blinkers on

Replying To TsuDhoNimh: "The 48 hour lockout rule was designed with the intention of allowing 20s play the Wednesday night game and still have the potential to play the weekend before or after with the senior teams. So, kind of a restriction there to keep all games on the Wednesday rotations." Be interesting to see what Leitrim does on Wednesday against Mayo with their 4 or 5 county Seniors involved with their U20s. All will be playing against Sligo on Sunday in the senior championship and last year Poacher didn't allow the U20s play on the Wednesday before facing Mayo in the senior championship.

Replying To bigladforage: "Sean O'Brien is a gem!!
Looking at programme from the u20 match Saturday and just picking a team for discussion, based on the top hurlers for their clubs each summer, since rackard league
Quigley bannow
Furlong alley
Roark ferns (has to be fullback)
Donohoe rapps
Ormonde shels
Doyle Annes
Mooney rathnure
Dunne oulart
Hyland rapps
Mernagh martins
O'Connor oulart
Carley Glynn
Rossiter oulart
O'Brien cushenstown
Nolan oilgate (playmaker 3rd man midfield)
Elard ladies island (return to panel)
O'Toole Liam mellows
Browne harriers
Ryan Glynn
Moore oulart
Kisov alley
Reilly rathnure
Doyle davidstown
Cooney Glynn (return to panel)
Serious team of stick men with very simple Game plan, just f… ruck counts, get ball into a serious set of physical skilful forwards, Nolan playmaker with Rossiter and O'Brien forming lethal inside forwards, and just play hurling like Keith Rossiter's senior boys" Hyland and Dunne at midfield? Seriously? Is Cooney back on the panel?
Id mostly agree with you apart from that.
Id maybe go against Kilkenny, based mainly on what Ive seen this year, and lads I think are on the panel, but also bearing in mind last years form a little bit-
Quigley
______________________
Furlong (didnt do well at 3 the last day)
Roark(agree about him being a 3)
Donohue
______________________
Higgins
C Doyle
Mooney (if he gets some bite and workrate back)
______________________
Jack Nolan
Jack Young
_______________________
Carley
O'Brien (need him on more ball, and not on frees)
Conn Mernagh
_______________________
Podge Doyle
Kian O'Connor (if recovered)
Darragh Ryan (dropping out around the middle as a scorer who can also fight for a ball, on frees)
Think we will have more good ball winning forwards who can score with this team, and midfielders who are good enough stickmen, strong, work hard, and can also chip in with a point or 2.

Replying To ged: "What about Meath v Wexford about 2007 or 2008. Meath emptied their bench in 2nd half to "give lads a run out". Natural talent and superiority didn't get the result that day as Wexford dug out the win with a great comeback. Was such a laugh.
Wexford will be a battle v Louth and if they win, fair play to them." Not sure about natural talent lacking down here back then, our lads reached 2 Leinster finals in 4 years, 2008-2011, which was more than Kildare or Meath managed in those 4 years. And we took Dublin to ET in 2010.

Every year this rubbish starts about the price of tickets for Gaa games. Look at the price of admission to all other sports . If you are going to a Sligo v Leitrim game you are not traveling too far so don't talk about food etc. Eat a good hearty breakfast before you go and you will be sound. Don't buy a programme because they are a real rip off .

Replying To ORIELMAN85: "Will predict a Sligo win by 10+ points. Sligo mid-table Divusion 3, while Leitrim would be gone out of Divisoon 4, if there was anywhere lower to go. Time you faced the facts, instead of considering a win over London as a cause for celebration." That's a fascinating input from you. And a remarkable way of spelling division wrong in two different ways in the same sentence. That has to be a record. I seem to recall Monaghan fans invading the pitch not that many years ago because they avoided relegation. The aul trophy cabinet is pretty bare no more than ourselves though.

Replying To The_analyser: "Given the lack discussion on the various threads on here regards U17,U20 games I don't think many bother to purchase streams of the matches either.
I agree the season is too condensed and I haven't I checked my bank balance for a while, it won't look too healthy after attending all senior,U17,U20 games so far this year. On the road again tonight and best of luck to the Roscommon U17s in Castlebar." We do attend and live stream just u try and ram ur opinion on this and ur other forum
So there's not much point discussing.

Replying To Doylerwex: "Delighted to hear you've recovered.
Your remark has actually proven my point. Filipino and Indian people in particular are very warm people culturally, therefore well suited to caring for people which has nothing to do with money.
They've left their own countries for a number of reasons. Safety, education, opportunities, food quality, religious freedom etc. I'd argue it's about more than just salary." That's grand. So at what point do Irish people get the right to suggest that 25% of population and rising steadily born overseas might not be an entirely good thing?
Doubt people in Philippines would think it was good for themselves. NOT the fault of anyone who comes here I stress.

NFL 2026 Predictions Competition - League Finals - 1 Like(s)
Just doing up the final scores now. But just to clarify, so that I don't have everyone hounding me about scores....
if you predicted a Down and Carlow win, no points are actually awarded because they were technically drawn games.
I think one or two did specify Carlow x 2 AET, in which case I awarded them 7 points...
So using my own score as an example for everyone to reference/check their own...
Donegal v Kerry - Donegal x 1 (Jason McGee) = 5 points
Meath v Cork - Meath by 2 (Jack Flynn) = 10 points
Down v Wexford - Down by 6 (Pat Havern) = 0 points
Carlow v Longford Carlow by 4 (Colm Hulton) = 0 points
