Replying To Drax_the_destroyer: "Not a theory. Expectations and odds are what they are." Your "expectation" that Roscommon carry the same form line from a dead rubber league game into championship is indeed what it is.

Replying To dickie10: "Westmeath aren't much behind Meath or Louth. Louth haven't beaten any big team in championship yet . If ever they had the chance to beat dublin it's this year . Laois Westmeath and Kildare all bet dublin when they made the breakthrough" Aren't much behind? Meath beat Dublin, Kerry and Galway last year in the All Ireland. We couldn't beat Limerick or Wicklow last year in the Tailteann. We couldn't beat Wexford when the chips were down in the league this year barely scraped over Sligo, lost poorly to Laois. We are worlds apart.

Replying To jobber: "Absolutely agree challenge matches mean very little and it will tell us where we are at against an All Ireland contender. A real learning curve for our lads so lets see how we go." Don't think this years kilkenny minor team are all Ireland contenders. Basically have had to build a new team from scratch as all of last years team were up to the age.
Great to see westmeath doing well at underage and schools level.

Replying To MayoDan: "Plenty of mayo fans nervous about this game and most Roscommon fans will fancy their chances of a win.
Definitely won't be a big upset if Roscommon win." "Most Roscommon fans" enough of the exaggeration Dan!

Replying To BarneyGrant: "Refusal to have anything to do with the State. That's what I do. Can't stop them collecting tax from wages. Other than that, minimal contact.
SF ought to have stayed out of Stormont. Ceasefire was right decision. What followed was not." So you don't use public roads/footpaths?
Public water or sewers?
Public transport?
Won't take OAP?
Won't use public hospitals?

It was a hiding to nothing last night. Bar Cavans win over Tyrone it's been a poor year for them. They were leading by 8 last week in second half and Down secured a Draw. It'll be same this weekend for seniors, we have nothing to fear of the current Cavan crops. Well done to Neil McAdam and team, they have really turned it around this last 2 weeks in training.

Excellent win for our u19 Hurlers last night, who won the Leinster Hurling League by beating the Cats in Nowlan Pk.
FT Kilkenny 3-16 v Dublin 3-21

Replying To galwayford: "Only party to nearly bankrupt Ireland was Fianna Fáil, with Fine Gael support." You are wrong. It was the policies of the Fianna Fail and Progressive Democrat coalition government of 2002 - 2007, which was returned with an even greater majority in 2007, that planted the seeds that led to the bank guarantee of 2008 and subsequent IMF arrival in 2010. Fine Gael were not any part of government and were trenchant opponents of Fianna Fail at this time, coming into government in 2011.

Good win for the 20s who like the seniors have been ravaged with injuries but hopefully one or two more will make it back for the semifinal

Good Win for 20s, I like the way they are gradually building momentum. No point beating donegal or derry in blaney weeks ago. Only one time to beat those teams.

Replying To Immer: "Your "expectation" that Roscommon carry the same form line from a dead rubber league game into championship is indeed what it is." My expectation is irrelevant. The bookmakers and their punters placing the cash on is relevant.
What they are looking at and thinking is its hard to ignore a 20 point loss in the last meeting and Mayo won well in January also against Roscommon.

Replying To BarneyGrant: "They are proper public provisions. I don't pay LPT or TV license if that helps.
Minimal means little, not none, by the way." Hmmm. "Minimal means little, not none, by the way."
So what does "Refusal to have anything to do with the State" mean?
Seems in your case, it doesn't mean what most would take it to mean.
Instead it seems to mean "I'll make use of all the services that the State provides, but I'll refuse to pay for them if I have a choice in the matter at all".
Charming.

Replying To Fionn: "I hope it is not another false dawn Barney, but I genuinely feel there is a definite air of optimism about Dublin Hurling.
And there seems to be a lot better hurling talent coming through for us, than football talent coming through.
I would love to see our Hurlers win Leinster this year.
I think the AI semi last year, has left the players with a lot to prove to themselves this year.
As for Leinster, Offaly away this weekend, then
Home to Kildare
Away to Wexford
Away to Galway
Home to Kilkenny.
Tough draw in fairness, but let's get off to a good start on Sat hopefully." I would be surprised at other than comfortable win in Tullamore.
It will be tight between top four but Im moderately confident of at least beating one of others to give us 6 points minimum and third place at least.

There is long history of nationalist disengagement from the State. GAA itself is an example.

Very poor game last night to be honest thanks so much and one that we left behind us again against the weakest team we have played without any doubt. Thanks for agreeing. Only for their lucky goals we could have won but wasn't to be please. If we had full team we would have won no doubt. Thank you.

Replying To Viking66: "Im hoping for those results too, not because Im particularly anti Kilkenny these days, well not so much any more and Im even trying hard not to dislike Offaly as much also, but because of the media narrative. A narrative largely based on the huge number of Leinster games they go to, or even watch on tv ;-)" To be honest viking i was never anti kilkenny and always want the leinster team to win no matter what just dont think they have the killer instint anymore and havent got a settled full or centre back going into the championship thats why i think we can take them.Never minded Offaly either and fair dues to them over the years as well they had some outstanding hurlers.I have to confess that im not a lover of any munster teams winning but thats just my personal opinion.Hopefully results goes our way the next couple of weeks get into a leinster final and anything can happen after that look at Tipp and Clare the last two years momentum is a great thing.
