Replying To Viking66: "Maybe you should play a game see how friendly you find it?" Same could be said for any contact sport Viking.
How Rugby supporters can get such a horn over friendly games is beyond me. Its just game time for players which is important but no different than a friendly game in any other sport in which results are taken with a piece of salt. You need to beat the top teams when it actually matters as we found out in the world cup.

Replying To S1234: "Never once said we are flying. I said we are rebuilding.
Also it was all new players Andy put out against your so called ' Miltown ' players . At least we have some great underage players coming up. Unlike Galway...." Matthew Thompson is 20 and was recently nominated for an all star and young footballer of the year
Galway have also won an u20 all Ireland and a minor all Ireland much more recently than Mayo have
As for saying McDonald, who was a decent to good minor and had played a few good games in a very average club championship, was likely to be better than Clifford, who was the best minor the GAA has ever seen...

Replying To S1234: "Ballina were never gonna beat Bridgits lets be honest at least . Bridgits came close to winning the all Ireland 18 months ago they are just miles ahead of Ballina. Ballina were always going into today with more of hope then anything." S1234 (Clare from the blog and aka JimB1991), sure you posted the following on the club Championship thread, "Your forgetting about another big connacht club Ballina who are in with a big shout and down as 3rd favourites to win the All Ireland ....!

Replying To S1234: "What on earth are you talking about ?
How are we not being humble?
We wish him the best . But it's absolutely sickening to loose this young star. He was probably going to bettter then David Clifford even .
He could still well come back in 5 years he will only be 22. I don't think it's us that 'need to stay humble ' ! ." Better than David Clifford? What are you smoking?

Dominant display by Brigids In truth a contest should have been over at half time instead of the 8 point lead they had. Only black mark was the three sloppy goals given away and I don't think that 2nd goal should have been allowed. Expected a lot more from Ballina their game plan and match ups was poor. R fallon,P McGrath,C Hand among the stand out players on show. Moycullen v Brigids should be a real battle in the Hyde in two weeks.
Lastly hard luck to Croans losing out on a Connacht junior final with a penalty shootout. Strength of Roscommon club has been seen in the three club championships once more.

I would agree championship structures need a change, too many meaningless games. Perhaps the Derry format is worth adopting.
But this nostalgic notion of home and away being great, or as some way to improve our performance in Ulster. Utter nonsense.
How many Ulster club titles did Donegal clubs win under that format?
1975 - St Joseph's won one, maybe the format was home and away then, I don't know
2013 we changed away from the home and away format
Since 2013 we have had 3 different finalists with Gaoth Dobhair winning in 2018. Glenswilly in 2013 and Naomh Conaill in 2021 as the other finalists.
Prior to 2013, we had Naomh Conaill as finalists in 2010, Killybegs in 1991, and St Joseph's in 1968, 1973 and 1975, with St Joseph's our only winner in 1975.
So prior to 2013, a Donegal team reached 6 out of 45 finals (13.3%) of finals, winning 1 (2.2%).
But since 2013, a Donegal team has reached 3 out of 12 finals (25%), winning 1 (8.3%).
It doesn't seem to me that the old home and away format led to more success for Donegal clubs in Ulster but is instead a nostalgic notion being thrown around by people in the media. The facts don't back it up.

Replying To Gaa_lover: "Yes really. No side has been able to retain the Roscommon Senior title since 2017 and has been 4 different winners in that time. The likes of Boyle,Roscommon Gaels,Glaveys if they ever get the chance to play in Connacht would be well able to hold their own against the best in Galway,Mayo." That's nice news. But have it on your own thread. Maybe your championship is improving and other clubs have decided to stop it becoming a one team affair. Super.

Galway Hurling thread - 2 Like(s)
Replying To Tacaí Liatroma: "Question for you guys. I see that Ballinasloe are taking on Moytura Hurling of Mayo in the Connacht Junior Hurling semi-final. In recent years, it was just the Sligo and Leitrim senior champions in one semi-final, with the winners taking on the Galway representatives (winners of the Junior 1?) in the final. Have Mayo joined this championship with their intermediate champions, does anyone know? Didn't see anything about it on the Connacht GAA site. (I figured I might get an answer quicker here than in their thread)" From what I gather, even Ballinasloe didnt know much about Moytura. Apparently they are an amalgamation of up to 6 football clubs in south Mayo. They were re-constituted in 2022 after an 8 year absence and had 4 panellists on this year's successful county team in the Nicky Rackard. They hadnt played a competitive hurling game since August and were beaten by a margin of 9 points yesterday by Ballinasloe.

They showed lots of frailties in county final, Kinnegad scored 1-15 and were unlucky to lose by 6. To suggest it wasn't an extremely competitive game shows a lack of knowledge. There was an expectancy among The Downs supporters today, seemed like they fully and easily expected to win.

Replying To ORIELMAN85: "Maybe if you looked a little closer you would have noticed that it is the Champiosship All Stars. To be honest the well beaten Intermediate Championshop semi-finalist got well looked after. The Junior team was probably spot on this year for a change." Agree it's a championship team, carrick rested there squad for that league final. Intermediate team all well deserved! All south monaghan team
Not sure on the junior team, emyvale with a strong representation! seems to be a lot of talk around Jack mohan from scotstown being blatantly robbed of one.
Interesting to see the senior team?
