Replying To bláthach:  "What did Paul Brennan win with Donegal please?? Also Declan Darcy won the same with Leitrim as he won with Dublin- a provincal title so your point is what exactly please and thanks? Or are you please making this argument up as you go along like a lot of your other ones?? Thank you so much for engaging with me. Greatly appreciated."
For a start He won matches with Donegal :)

No point in saying otherwise but after seeing the team that is named its hard to see anything other then a Wicklow win.


Barry McNulty, Cillian McGloin, Conor Reynolds, Paul Keaney, Paul Honeyman, Killian Gaffey, David Feeney, Colm McLoughlin, Darren Cox all out injured for the Wicklow game before we even consider who's not on the panel.

Not only would most of them 9 players start against Wicklow if they were fot it severely weakens our sub bench.

We're severely lacking power and height in the middle third. Winning primary possession is going to be diffucult.

Ryan O'Rourke, Tom Prior and Jack Kelly will cause them problems but getting the ball upto them is going to be the issue.
Ben Guckian will play as a third midfielder I'd guess we will need him to kick a lot of two pointers to stay in contention.

Best of luck the two debutants in Fergal McLoughlin and Jack Kelly.
Interesting to see Gavin Reynolds from St Marys on the bench. Is he a new addition to the panel? The new rules should suit him.

Hopefully Poacher will update us supporters on how far some of our injuries are away from playing.

Plenty of youth in for tomorrow night and it looks like they will all get plenty of chances in the league. Usually you'd say that having this many involved in a senior panel is too many but this 2026 u20 panel is well above average. Let them get their feet wet early in senior hurling.

Replying To BarneyGrant:  "The vast majority if Chinese people have no say at all in how the country is run.

And if you think the way Revenue monitor tax is like Social Credit based on total surveillance of every single aspect of a Chinese persons life then you ought read something about it.

The tens of millions murdered were not part of any rebellion by the way. They were victims of a random terrorist regime. Which still rules through mass internment, murder, torture and genocide."
Yet most Chinese people are very happy at how their Country is currently run, which goes against the grain of propaganda from the West peddled for decades. They have a system that is different from ours, which doesn't align with our values, but how they live or govern is their own business.

My problem with Irish Revenue, is that they use the excuse of Money laundering, a crime committed by a tiny percentage of the population (less than 1%), to monitor all financial accounts of all Irish citizens/residents and hound people in order extort additional tax for silly crap.

Like one example on the radio this week, where someone at Revenue noted that a woman had listed her house at a higher value thanks to an new extension, and the revenue person didn't think a PAYE worker of her means could afford without a loan and they couldn't see any loans from financial institutions. Turned out her Dad loaned her money or paid the bill, and now revenue have slapped her with a large tax bill.

If we are so free in Ireland, surely once we pay income tax on our earnings, the remaining money should be ours to spend how we like, but its not. If we buy a home for our family, we have to pay an annual tax on it for life. If you ask every Irish person how they feel about property tax etc, you would find we also have no say in how this Country is run.

Replying To Gaa_lover:  "Kerry,Mayo were in winning postiing in the knock out stages against Dublin in their pomp and blew it. No side was in that position or looked close to beating Kerry in the knock out stages of the championship last year.

Knock out football is where contenders from the pretenders is separated and in the end how many actual contenders had Kerry last summer and will it be any different this summer? Might get a contender or two but there is certainly no 7 contenders."
U asked for the 7 contenders
With the exception of Derry the 7 provided it will be no great shock if anyone of the 7 won sam in 2026
That
To me means their all genuine contenders
Now I'm heading to Killarney to watch a bit
If ball for the weekend

Hopefully its good enough to get the win . Time to move on back the new lads and get behind the team and management .
Everyone knew it was coming that we needed to rebuild this is the real start .
Not to be dismissive but the team over last 15 years has nt exactly set the world alight bar maybe 2years maybe this crop with little expectation will flourish and give us a more consistent competive edge .
We stared relegation in the face barely 3 years ago it is time for change .
Following wexford hurlers for nearly 50 years I d say we were very rarely at top table in that time does nt mean I did nt enjoy it most years.
As long as the players with the privilege of wearing that jersey give 100% and never throw the towel in I ll be happy if we are good enough then we may just be successful.
Keep trying to improve in every way from underage club to senior county and everyone that can help out with whatever they have to offer .
Best of luck today and for the year ahead as well and to the footballers. Lets hope we see progress on both fronts

Replying To peiledoir20:  "Paul Brennan won 2 Ulster titles and a league title with Donegal.

Did he win a provincial title or league title with Leitrim?"
Have you not got google in Donegal please? Surely you can look that up yourself thanks so much. But just in case I'll answer it for you. No he did not win a provincial title with Leitrim thank you but how could he when he was playing with Donegal? Thanks very much but that was a rather foolish question please.

You say most Chinese people are happy at how their country is run, in the absence of elections can you provide one iota of evidence to support this. The massacre in Tiananmen in 1989 was a warning to dissidents that peaceful demonstrations will not be tolerated. In 2024 China was listed as the worst offender for journalists to be jailed because of their work.

A 26 point win away to Derry in D2 to start 2026! A welcome start after a tough 2025. Laois and Westmeath expected to bounce back to 1B. All about preparation for the CRC.
