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.

Replying To gaa.88: "Congratulations to Cian. You are correct in that it is the second Cian O Sullivan to win an All star for Dublin. 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.

Leitrim GAA thread - 2 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.

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

Too many clubs in Senior Championship. Needs a shakeup. 16 should be reduced to 12.
It means top of Intermediate is way below that of other counties.
Monaghan, while a smaller population, has 10 Senior clubs so Intermediate champions are around 11th best. In Donegal it's around 17th best.
12 clubs in Senior, 2 groups of 6, seeded based on League (makes League more important), 5 games, top two in each into semis.
Same in Intermediate & Junior and maybe look at a second Junior level to include top reserve teams with bottom Junior clubs.

Hurling - Merging Counties - 1 Like(s)
As a hurling man in Roscommon, I wouldn't be against a rest of Connacht amalgamation and think it would be quite exciting actually. We used to be a clear no 2 in Connacht, those days are over ,Mayo have taken that mantle and Sligo have come on in leaps and bounds and there's always an exceptional hurler or two in Leitrim . If you filtered the best on offer from the 4 counties, got the right preparation and were prepared to persevere, you would expect to be very competitive at Tier 2 with a chance to break through the glass ceiling.
I also think there is a bit of a bond between the hurling communities in the counties and the deep inter county football rivalry wouldn't be a factor.

Replying To leitrim4sam: "You forgot the Fermanagh clubs, Devenish and possibly Erne Gaels and Belcoo. Exactly what's the problem???
As long as every other county that border is has their house in order and have an adequate or indeed surplus supply of referees then we don't have a problem.
For Gods sake!!!!" ridiculous comment. lots of talk on this group about improving standards, hardly a good look to be going round the neighbours looking for referees because they have their house in order as you put it.
the fact about north leitrim having only one active ref is actually correct im pretty certain, that would be vincent mcmorrow. Foley has hung up the whistle and Eugene McHale is a Sligo clubman coming over the border. Its damning that some of the more populated and successful clubs clubs have no active referee, Mohill, Ballinamore, Leitrim Gaels, etc.
there was a similar push for new referees last year and two were recruited if Im not mistaken, one of whom reffed the junior final this year. The age profile of current referees is the big issue in my opinion, some lads have given years to it and father time is just catching up with them.

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.

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.

Looking Forward To 2026 - 1 Like(s)
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.
