Replying To CTGAA10: "One match I'm actually delighted to get out of..limerick hung in there when it just wasn't going right..Clare will probably wonder how they lost it..Kelly missed a huge goal chance that would have put it beyond limerick..
Clare probably lucky that either cleary or Lohan didn't get 2 yellows..on the other hand people will say Nicky was very lucky to escape,only thing in his favour was Duggan hadn't control of ball..definitely the rule needs to be looked at..
Limerick weren't at it for most of match and Clare produced their best performance of year..delighted by the win and really looking forward to next 2 weeks..
On another note best of luck to Shane o Donnell in whatever he does next..a superb hurler who lit up hurling for years..a gentleman and a great ambassador for the Gaa.." hard to control the ball when you are being hit in the head and tripped in the one movement ;-)

Monaghan GAA thread - 2 Like(s)
Watched Louth match back for my sins. Few things. Mooney did well enough or as good as he could given the circumstances being thrown in like that. He definitely wasnt the winning and losing of the game overall. Gallaghers loss was bigger for Monaghan arguably as it robbed mccarville of his wingman on kickouts. The match was lost in the first half and monaghans inability to take advantage of the red card it kept louth in it and they grew from it the two pointer to end the half a huge moment. I dont think any of the other teams left in the championship would have shown louth as much mercy as we did in that period. We actually played well in the second half bar the last few minutes when the team faded in face of louth surge. Ciaran Byrne was a massive sub for them. There was also a crucial period after the goal when we didnt push on some bad wides which might have seen enough but louth timed their finishing kick well. Devlin played his cards better but it was that first half lack of response to red card which killed us in this one. Louth outscored us in that period 12 pts to 1-03. That was the winning and losing.

Replying To Seniorleague: "True but itd be kinda annoying to wake up and see England gone. Id rather watch it happen,but im not staying up either.
Having said that an England world cup win wouldnt unduly bother me,,(ill get my coat)" Funnily id rather see them beat on penalties in the final but it would be too risky.

Replying To avonali: "If Galway go on and win it, will people perhaps revise their opinions of the abilities of this Dublin team?" Unfortunately, while Galway have staked a claim there is little beyond the four semi finalists.
Might change but Dublin and others still in "one big win" a year mode..

Louth GAA thread - 1 Like(s)
Up the Wee County
Through leaner years and hopeful ones,
Through fallen dreams and battles won,
The Wee faithful stood, both proud and true,
And carried Louth's red and white through.
Now history calls from Croke Park's stage,
A moment written for another age.
The first since fifty-seven to reach this height,
The Wee County stepping into the light.
This was not fashioned in a fleeting day,
But built through belief along the way.
Through vision, work, and courage shown,
The seeds of promise have now been sown.
Peter Fitzpatrick saw the tide
That one day would turn for the County side.
He helped lay foundations deep and strong,
And now their fruits are coming along.
From underage fields to the senior game,
A spirit has grown and earned its name.
A county united, pulling as one,
Still striving upward, the journey not done.
And rising proudly for all to see,
A new stadium stands for posterity.
More than brick and steel and stone,
A home for dreams yet to be known.
A place where future generations will stand,
With pride for their club and love for their land.
A lasting symbol, bold and bright,
Of a county stepping into its future's light.
For those who waited through every test,
This moment carries something blessed.
Not boastful words, nor noisy acclaim,
But quiet pride in what became.
So let the roads to Dublin flow,
From every parish, far and near.
Let red and white fill every seat,
And turn Croke Park into Louth's heartbeat.
Raise every flag to the summer sky,
Let songs of Louth ring proud and high.
And when our team steps out in red and white,
Let them feel a county's roar and might.
For they carry our hopes, our pride, our story,
The dream of generations chasing glory.
Stand tall. Sing loud. Believe.
Up the Wee County, with rolled-up sleeves

Replying To PoolSturgeon: "I dont want to see Daithi on the field the next day if he is as hampered by the knee injury as he was on Saturday. Too risky. Have him as a 2nd half substitute if necessary ( like Cian Lynch for Limerick yesterday). We need 15 fully fit players." better to start him and whip him if hes getting exposed, rather than bring him on - knee buckles and hes off again - could cost a second sub - and we'll need to use all the bench against limerick

Been a while since we had the Loughrea posters on complaining about a bias against Loughrea in team selections. Probably not since the round robin loss to Dublin I'd say. Btw well done to Tiernan Killeen -- great game last Saturday.

Replying To Drax_the_destroyer: "Seán Kelly MEP and Former GAA president yesterday
I've been thinking for some years now , that Mayo
best chance of winning Sam, is when it's least expected and they come in under the radar - bit like this year ? But, when I said that to a guy in Brussels today ,he replied , ' Mayo , come in under the radar ? . You must be joking ! Not a hope . If they qualify for the Final, all the hype and over confidence and 'Mayo4Sam', will take over again and it will blow any chance they have of winning' Not sure , he's right ach mar a deirtear, 'Neosfaidh an aimsear ' So, cool it Mayo!" Sean showed his true colours with Maria Walsh on Mercusar so I wouldnt pay a blind bit of notice on his opinion.

Replying To BostonGuy: "Fantastic win and did not see that coming, I thought that playing the 14 men back would stop Galway from getting hammered but didn't see them blowing Cork out of the water TBH. It was similar to what Tipp done last year in AI but I think Galway played the system better than Tipp. Many of the Galway players had their best day in the jersey especially Glennon, Lee and Kileen who got a lot of work in. Conor Cooney is becoming the new Noel Lane! I have concerns around an injured Dathi Burke and the occasion getting to them but what a game of strategy this is going to be between Galway and Limerick, almost like a chess game. Galway will try and force Limerick to shoot from distance and Limerick will try and exert their Physical superiority. Galway are more mobile, Limerick are more seasoned/experienced both have a good mix of veterans and youth, should be a cracker. I really admire the "no fear" factor of this Galway team that they showed (most of the time) in the League and Leinster championship, hopefully they can carry the momentum into the AI." Daithi is hardly going to be any fitter in 2 weeks than he was Saturday. Surely be better playing a fully fit player than a man who can barely run

6 Teams Left In A Hurling May 24Th - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Tadhg2020: "Im not against it. Im not sure you can squeeze 3 rounds in though. The quarters are 2 weeks on from the provincial finals. If you go a week earlier someone will likely be playing 3 weeks in a row." Would make the Provincial RRs even more relevant though, even more of an advantage to finish 1st, and even for finishing second. As it should be. If you finish 3rd or 4th there should be a disadvantage associated with that.
