Replying To Viking66: "It was sad what those families had to go through. The same pain that 3000 odd families in the North had to go through.
But are you suggesting that "the Troubles" were started by the Republican movement?
Or suggesting that the Nationalist population in the North shouldve just put up and shut up in the 1960s?
Or both?
Or maybe that 26 county lives and families matter more than 6 county ones?" 3rd attempt trying to reply and add to your post Viking66 but the powers that be keep rejecting my reply. Just because I tell it as it was in the North, of which you would know yourself having lived in Coalisland. Thanks very much speech police, is this message ok?

The Governments abuse of Section 31 had people down here living in ignorance of what was happening in the north. Dublin and Monaghan bombings treated the same way. Joe Tiernans brilliant work pretty much ignored. It really says something when it took an English TV channel to make a documentary looking into the British security links with the Glennane gang and some of the worst atrocities in the Troubles. Silence in the 26C.

Replying To Dodgy_Pass: "Leitrim still at U17 despite all our neighbours either at U18 or reverting.
We were one of the first counties nationally to change and there is an unwillingness bordering on total refusal to even consider going back from top brass.
Hard for clubs to retain the 17 year old going 18 in his first year adult." I seen list of counties gone to even numbers it has Galway down as both and mayo also but in Galway even number grades are only ticking a box I' reckon only about max 5 counties in whole country have minor at under 17 and in Galway they won't even have a discussion about changing back which in my opinion is a disgrace clubs delegate in Galway no say just do what top table says it's not helping Galway football impossible for clubs get challenge matches outside county as they all 18 year olds

Replying To yew_tree: "Not much soccer talk here but do people think Slot can turn it around? It's a dramatic fall from Liverpool who are on their worst run of form in over 70 years. I hope he can turn it around but another loss this weekend away to West Ham could be fatal." Hard to know if he will. But one thing is clear, Van Dijk couldn't be further from the 'best ever PL defender' as he was being lauded from the red men not so long ago.

When looking at the Athlone area there are a few key factors to keep in mind:
1. Soccer's dominance: Soccer is huge in Athlone. While Mullingar has two or three clubs Athlone has roughly 10-12 which naturally draws a lot of young players away from GAA.
2. Rugby's strong presence: Rugby is also very strong in Athlone. Unlike Mullingar top young players in Athlone are often identified early and brought into the Connacht development pathway which leaves them with little time to balance both rugby and GAA. In contrast a player from Mullingar would need to be exceptional to break into the Leinster setup.
3. Population shifts affecting GAA: The rapid growth of areas like Monksland and Kiltoom has negatively impacted GAA participation in Athlone. Many long-standing GAA families from Athlone and Garrycastle have moved to these areas and their children now play for Clann na nGael or St Brigid's instead. This doesn't happen in Mullingar families who move within the town generally remain within Westmeath GAA clubs.

Best of luck to Brian Carroll as he leaves the role of Chairman of the county board. He put in some shift/ effort over the last few years. The recent development of the Hyde is a credit to all concerned.

Good draw to get Wicklow. Bad draw the winner gets Dublin.

So Sligo away in Markievicz. A repeat of 2010 would be nice. As good as could have hoped for.
That performance v Mayo restored some pride and belief that we can and should put it up to anyone come championship day.
Galway in Carrick the reward.
Hope the panel is forming nicely.
