Replying To TanCanRan: "Lad, you're from Donegal. The most hyped-up football team in the country when Jimmy McGuiness is in charge." Jim1991 isn't from Donegal. They never post on our forum. They've been asked a number of times not to claim to be from our proud county. It is most likely the poster from Mayo who posts on numerous threads under a number of different names.

Replying To KillingFields: "Can the forum stay open over Christmas and new year. Its one of the only I've seen that does close." Seriously? If HS closed for good it wouldn't affect my life. And you are worried that it's closing over Xmas. Might be time to assess your priorities .

Replying To Claretandblue: "If it was a serious mistake by him then why should they appeal it? Camera didn't seem to pick it up but commentator certainly spotted it and his tone before card was shown indicated that player was in bother. Huge loss for Loughrea, hurled well today but Ballygunner look hungry to be regarded as a great club side and need a second All Ireland to be considered that" Being honest about it Loughrea could easily have had a someone sent off in the first half, a few yellow cards for head hits were lenient to say the least.

Should There Be Rule Changes In Hurling? - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Viking66: "Sidelines in hurling have to be taken from inside the sideline. Its the opposite of Football. Cynicism and dissent need to be dealt with better for sure. Ball throwing should probably be legalised at this stage, maybe underhand with a maximum distance would be easy enough to enforce?" I don't know about the rule on side line balls but if coaching would not allow players to go short. Especially in your own halve. The percentage turned over must be over 90%. At least drive it well down field and a 50/50 chance of winning. You are at least have a better chance of winning back the loss. The short one turns into a score many many times for the opposition.

Replying To S1234: "Lol Leitrim competitive that's a good one." Did you not consider Leitrim v Mayo competitive in Connaught championship this year? Think it was fairly nip and tuck until last 10 minutes. Leitrim were even at a lower ebb at the time having failed to field in a match earlier in the year. I guess Mayo were no great shakes this year but don't expect that to change overnight!

Replying To alalalalalum: "Elphin are division 1? Roscommon club football doesn't mean a whole pile on a Leitrim forum, especially when the same team wins your county title every year. Although I hear the windmill there is a beautiful sight. Super" It is nice in fairness thanks so much. They wrote a song too about it please. It's called there'll always be a windmill in elfin. But I often wonder thanks what will happen if the windmill in Elfin blows down or collapses like the Roscommon team in division one thanks. Will they write a new song please along the lines of there will NOT always be a windmill in elfin thank you. One to ponder over Christmas for us all. Thank you.

Ball throwing should probably be legalised at this stage, maybe underhand with a maximum distance would be easy enough to enforce?" The rule in hurling is actually that the ball must be placed on the sideline. Not inside it, or even outside it.
A sideline kick in football should be taken from outside the boundary line all right.

Replying To Claretandblue: "The commentator certainly changed his tone significantly when it happened and that was a few seconds before ref issued card. Not sure how you can say Macdara didn't see it unless you were told by him." Because he saw Rogers on the ground. But he didn't intimate at all that he had seen an actual strike. He was literally looking at the replay trying to make it out, but said Johnny Murphy must have seen something.

What this character knows about Donegal football, would fit on the back of a postage stamp. Only posts about one topic in particular and pops up in different incarnations.

Is this now policy that if you have an embarrassing poster from your county they are automatically from Mayo? Easy target I guess.

Replying To SouthGalway: "Why were they not playing? Injuries? Are they both starters?" Darren shaughnessy is Loughrea's best forward, ankle niggle kept him out. Shane o Brien was our best hurler last year. Back in contention to start again. He plays midfield.
