Galway Hurling thread - 3 Like(s) Replying To katser: "Honours....the definition of one being successful is what one has achieved. Therefore JC with more All Ireland Club medals but less County medals than DB, would that make the aforementioned JC a more successful individual. But then one could argue is Noel Lane more successful with 3 All Ireland Senior medals but zero at Club level! IMO I would have JC as the most successful Galway hurler of all time." I'd love to hear JC and DB answer that question " the definition of one being successful is what one has achieved". To see how far up their list hurling and GAA is in relation to what they have achieved in life. Armchairreporter (National) - 21/12/2025 00:34:57
Non-Gaa Forum - 2 Like(s) Replying To Doylerwex: "Life expectancy has increased mainly because of food and the type of work we do. Look at how much Ireland has changed since the 80s. Particularly life expectancy for men. How much we've grown physically is actually mental. Average height for both men and women in Ireland has increased by 3 inches in a generation which hasn't happened anywhere else in the western world in the 20th/21st century. The thing about scientists too is these institutions received an awful lot of state funding so logically would be willing to tow the line to maintain that." Not having to deal with polio, TB, measles & the like thanks to vaccination gave a bit of a helping hand too I'd say? Lockjaw (National) - 21/12/2025 07:23:40
Galway Football thread - 1 Like(s) Replying To jm25: "Olaoi was excellent 3 pts in first 25 McGrath impressed Tierney mchugh Thompson a level above Starting full forward line disappointing" "Starting full forward line disappointing" that's an understatement if I ever heard one. From that starting 15, only Shane McGrath and Matthew Thompson are senior inter-county footballers. The rest are average club players at best. Joyce has to give these lads game time in fixtures that ultimately mean nothing, otherwise clubs would be complaining that their so-called superstars didn't get a run. Realistically, very few will change in the final 26 from last year, maybe two or three at most and possibly a new sub goalkeeper, as Eamonn McGrath is streets ahead of his club-mate between the posts.

Club Hurling - 1 Like(s) Tooreen into the All Ireland intermediate hurling final with a 1-28 to 1-17 win over Eire Og of Carrickmore today. Really hope they can go one step further from the 2023 final and become the first Mayo hurling team to win an all Ireland title. yew_tree (National) - 21/12/2025 15:26:57

Galway Football thread - 1 Like(s) Replying To JimB1991: "Not at all I find it interesting how the mainstream media pick and choose the teams to hype. Galway is an obvious and easy one because of Joyces profile. When you throw in 1 or 2 star performers like Walsh and Comer then its easy to portray the overall squad as stronger than it is." Well it's not rocket science to think that a team which has appeared in 2 of the last 4 finals might be considered contenders. WanPintWin (National) - 21/12/2025 14:19:21

I already said that ages ago. It's not the only reason is my point. Polio was the greatest vaccine success no doubt but that doesn't mean it will work for everything, nor does it mean it's the only factor in overall health outcomes.

Football Better Than Hurling In 2025? Thank You Jim Gavin, - 1 Like(s) Replying To alalalalalum: "Well now there's no way there's passages in football where they keep it 10 mins, 2 maybe. But the masters of it were that Dublin team, and now this thread is praising the former manager who came up with that game style. Incredible" Dublin and other good county and club teams adopted the keep ball tactic as response to total negativity on part of mediocre blanket defensive teams who had 15 inside 40 yards. I like the restrictions on the manner in which teams can do this but it is still a valid tactic and requires huge nerve, pace, vision and power. Adds not detracts from excitement.

Roscommon GAA thread - 1 Like(s) Monaghan are very similar to Roscommon. We think we're great until someone bigger slaps us in the face. Admittedly ye have been a lot better than us the past decade but some of these Scotstown lads must have 15 or 16 years of hard labour with the county and it's going to show in the soft ground against much younger but also experienced players. Funnily enough both clubs have poached and are enjoying the benefits of it. A sign of the times ahead. Ros2013 (National) - 20/12/2025 18:58:45
