Replying To Tirchonaill1: "Michael Murphy wins player of the month, what a player he is to come out of retirement and get himself back in top condition again and playing the way he is, lot of fellas could take lessons from him.
https://www.donegaldaily.com/2025/06/12/murphy-wins-gaa-player-of-the-month/" Yes fair play to Michael, he is an inspiration.
What's even better is how it's winding up so many Armagh fans online.

Fun Fact: the Bushs, Cheneys, and the rest of the Warfare State in the USA did NOT endorse Trump. I wonder why?

Replying To Seanfanbocht: "Best of luck indeed.
Hopefully a decent Ros crowd to encourage the lads.
Cork won't have 100 there.
Both sides haven't been setting the World on fire but whoever wins tomorrow will have a decent season.
Losers will have some soul searching and changes over the closed County season." BTW, If your lads win I wish ye all the best going forward. Rossie fans have been great anytime our paths have crossed. PUC '23 comes to mind!

Hope this week's finances move things on and Ulster gets a proper modern gaa stadium.Belfast well served by train,bus and motorway and as Ireland s 2nd largest city this is well overdue.Think it's worth remembering this stadium will also be a facility for hurling (and maybe other events)

Bit of a difference Armagh are through as winner no matter what. Donegal could be out if dont win granted Cavan would need beat Tyrone too. What is the verdict on team? I am happy to see Fitz start think he is underrated and his absence the lasr few games showed that Mulkerrins not strong enough IMO. Any changes before throw in? Finnerty wont be at 11 straight. I do feel for Sam O Neill embarassed by PJ against Derry hooking him after 15 after scoring a point & not on 26. Massive game and Armagh have gone very strong. Do or die

Replying To SouthOfTheGap: "Team announced. Patton named to start, and appears that Mulreany is out, Danny Rogers named as Sub Keeper.
Jason named at 26, which obviously debunks the rumour that he was finished completely.
Hopefully we'll get the job done." No idea who starts these ridiculous rumours or why. McGonagle will also be back but not this weekend. Not a fan of all these playing for a draw ideas. We go down, we win, we secure at least a home PQF, hopefully without any injuries, job done and onto next week in Ballybofey where we should be able for whoever the draw throws up.

Best of luck to the Riscommon team in Portlaoise tomorrow. Did see some incremental improvement in the Kerry and Meath games and hopefully there is more tomorrow against Cork. Hopefully they get good support as now is when they need it.

Replying To sourmilk93: "Hurling only taken seriously in 7/8 counties. The rest of the country are more football focused.
The minority who like hurling cant accept that the majority of the country have no real interest in hurling" hurling is taken seriously in 1/3 of the 123rd biggest country in the world, the so called best game in the world is not near the most popular sport in its home country

Replying To Drax_the_destroyer: "Sean Fitzgerland for Sean Mulkerrin Cein Darcy for Sam O'Neill the changes not as many as some here thought. Strange match whereby Armagh are already into the last 8 having topped the table and should Dublin beat Derry then this game is basically a dead rubber" Don't think people should be surprised by the minimal changes to the team, PJ has shown time and time again that he'll generally stick with those favours unless injuries play a part. It's a strong team on paper provided lads that haven't played to their peak in the round robin can reach those levels tomorrow. Surely zero motivation needed given the circumstances and opposition.

Replying To seanie08: "If there was any threat of complacency about this fixture which there should never been given Downs form and our display v Clare that is definitely gone now with Gary Mohan missing out. In a funny way that should mean a switched on monaghan from the start which is a good thing." Sadly no Gary Mohan could be the straw on the camels back in this game. With our record in Armagh and the injury issues it leaves one travelling with some fear. It is now more important than ever that we pick up dirty breaking ball around the middle. Like an earlier poster mentioned this is the biggest game for Monaghan for a while. Win and who knows where it could end up. Good luck to Gabie and the lads.

Replying To RealSouthSligo: "He is a very passionate Enniscrone GAA man but more importantly a good Sligo GAA man, he is also a very successful business man. Was involved in fundraising for the county when finances were not good. I believe he was the man who went after our current manager. Yes, he is the liaison officer, which might make his decision difficult to make if we don't progress in the competition. For me, we need to making the final this year to show progression. Chairman needs to be making some hard decisions when sitting at the top table and think he is the right man." It should say enough for Declan Rouse that there was a campaign behind the scenes against him by a cohort who have ran the county board and committees for years. Here's hoping for an offaly style clear out like Michael Duignan did when he became chair down there.

Replying To trimmer: "Am I alone in thinking there's too many tiers in hurling as it is?
Personally think Joe/Ring should merge as well as Nicky/Lory.
Three tiers seems reasonable. Must be tough being at the bottom in the Meagher and seeing so many tiers above you to climb." Don't see that there is too many tiers. Doubt counties at bottom tier see it as too many more they see it as more realistic opportunities to be competitive which is a good thing. No?

Tullamore For Kerry/Meath. Ridiculous. - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Aibrean: "I'll try again, for the last time. Here is what I asked you:
"But the decision to play in Tullamore was made to suit the bulk of the supporters who will attend the game".
Can you support this statement? A little bit of evidence, maybe ?
I'll spell it out. It's the DECISION I'm talking about.
How do you know how or why the DECISION was made?
I'm not interested in your opinion or even your speculation; can you tell us - with some supporting evidence - how or why the DECISION was made by the CCCC?
Unless you are on the CCCC, or you have some contact in the CCCC, I can't see how you would know what the logic behind the decision was." A decision was made to suit the majority of people who want to attend the game. That is glaringly obvious to most people.
It's very simple logic but beyond the ken of some it seems.
A good decision well made.
If the decision isn't to facilitate the majority of people then why was it made? A shadowy conspiracy against the poor, unfortunate people of Kerry?!!! ;)

Provincial Final Replays - Good Idea Or Bad Idea? - 1 Like(s)
Replying To MesAmis: "Penalties are quite an unsatisfactory way to decide a championship in my opinion.
Cork are Munster Champions but they didn't actually beat Limerick in a game of hurling to achieve that in the final. It just doesn't sit right. Same for Donegal in last year's Ulster Final against Armagh. It just doesn't feel right." What if replay is drawn even after extra time
It's the best solution otherwise you have to keep using extra days needlessly.
How many other sports use replays as much as gaa.

We have Connor Corbet back on the bench, which is a huge plus, and I get the feeling he may start. If we can control midfield - which I believe we can - then we'll have a great chance. Your forwards are deadly accurate, which has been the opposite for us recently, so we need to cut off quality ball going in there. We improved against Kerry, but didn't take our chances when presented. However, when this teams' backs are to the wall, they do turn up. .. Cork by 2
