Why are the gaa not giving carlow or kildare hom advantage i mean bringing both teams to tullamore just doesnt make sense. surley portlaoise on the saturday would be a better option.

Replying To Hometown45:  "I've said this before on here but they train three or 4 times a week. Assume play games in training. Practice matches. but if managemt felt they would help the side win a game I'm sure they'd play them. I've also said before that they obviously pick the team on what they see in training and how these fellas conduct themselves on and off the field.and if they aren't doing it in training etc I can't imagine how they deserve a shot in games. It's lile that with club sides so I'm sure it's the same with a county. Jim Gavin always talking about picking lads who perform well on training field. So I also assume this applies to fellas like gahan as was mentioned earlier. Co management are in a results business. They will Be trying to win every game. I hope this is the case anyway."
So are you saying that a certain forward that started on Sunday is getting so much game time because of his performance in training? He must be some lad to train if that's the case because his performance on Sunday and other games would leave a lot of questions. None of us know what happens in training but at the end of the day if a lad is consistently not performing you drop him. There a couple of players this could be said for.

Replying To MOH:  "Div 3 was the focus this year and rightly so. The manner of our relegation and the criminality that was seen in DCP the day of the Down game took its inevitable toll. Everyone concerned deserves great credit for the football produced over the last couple years. My hope is that everyone sticks together and comes back fresh in 2020. #keepthepoacher"
I wouldn't have a problem with poacher/O'Brien staying on, they have done a great job, but to many times the lack of a plan b and loyalty to certain players has cost us games. Yes we were unlucky with injuries, bans and decisions going against us but from the team selection on Sunday it was obvious to most that we were not going to score anywhere near enough to win the game. If the lads can mix up the game plan and at lest give some of the younger lads some decent game time I'd be happy for them to stay but I can't see that happening.

It will be interesting to see how the new rules will effect Carlows style of play. Is it the start of a complete overhaul of the rules that makes teams play the same way. If a team from say div 4 or 3 even plays Dublin Kerry Tyrone are they expected to go man to man? Will this be the next rule change
