Replying To katser: "Handy Semi Final for Loughrea this Weekend they shouldn't have too much trouble dealing with Slaughtneil!
Turlough, the Bridge, Thomas' even Cappy would beat Slaughtneil.
No pressure on the town as this is a fairly routine exercise!!!" No doubt you'd have been trumpeting similar sentiments in 2022 when Toms came up against Dunloy.
And lost.

Replying To WanPintWin: "To be honest, I don't think it was a case of Finbarr's panicking. I thought Athenry were the better team for the last 20 minutes at least. They had far more of the play and more shots, but some poor decision making had allowed Finbarr's to widen the gap.
Fair play to Athenry for keeping the head at the end and working the last shot. There was blatant foul just seconds before that which the ref hadn't given. I'd say there would have been ructions if Athenry hadn't levelled it." They had a handy lead given the trend of the game and they choked, their attacking play in the last 10 minutes was dreadful, wrong option upon wrong option, this is a team who are certainly able to overhaul a deficit but seem to have an issue with front running, would remind one of a certain type of racehorse.
I didn't think she was fouled in the last play either but either way the easy call would have been to award the free in and well done to the referee for having the courage to go with his gut and not cop out for the sake of it.
More of this please.

Replying To RoryGall35: "Folks absolutely gutted about Paddy..what service to Donegal..he's an absolute legend..With it probably being Michael last year in 2026 Im just thinking what will our full forward line be in 2027..CoDonnell, Oisin and is there another out and out forward coming up?" Probably looking at Seanan Carr or McCahill from Four Masters. Shea Malone from Glenties had a big impact for a man that hadn't played much GAA for few years. Cian McMenamin possibly if looking to put a big man in there.

Lads time to park the nonsense and parochial bickering. It's been a good year for Monaghan football, promotion, a fairly decent championship showing, and 2 good spins to Croke Park for the kids. The buzz at half time in the Donegal game was a highlight of the year (if you can blank out the hour that followed!). We need that same buzz at full time in HQ next year.
We have seen some greats retire, the like we will rarely see again. Now an Ulster club in the county, and I'm thinking more to come on that front. Look what's also ahead in the next 5 months- a mammoth task to stay in Div1 and then our nearest and dearest in the first round of Ulster. That, and only that, should be the focus. Buy each other a virtual pint and hug it out.

Replying To Timmy86: "Ah yes the famous scarden founder ,where would be without the soposed building site ,sold for a fortune ,now a state of the art basin,..." Ah good old Timmy.
I think the old saying goes something like this, that if you haven't something good to say about a person, then say nothing.
Have a good Christmas and cheer up.

Rather amusing to listen to people now saying they took vaccines despite the risks.
99.9% took them because they were told to take them.
Those of us who didn't were barred from many public places, some lost jobs and we were attacked as dangers to public health and as extremists.
Just as minority who see through their lies always have been.

Replying To Saynothing: "The biggest crime was committed by the media who pushed and slammed down anyone who questioned it. I'm another one who regrets taking the first 3 vaccinations. Feeling wrecked with little energy on more days than I ever did and I blame in vaccine." You couldn't mention any concern about the rapidly developed vaccines on here either back then or you'd get your head bitten off and be accused of being a conspiracy theorist by the same type of lefties who are still crying on this thread day in day out about something or other.

Replying To Dheen: "Leinster schools senior A quarter final, CBS Mullingar vs Offaly schools on the 5th of January. Home venue. Could it be in Cusack park?" It would be some achievement for Marys in their first year beat the pick of Offaly to make a Leinster semi final. It's doable

Replying To Commodore: "I think a bigger concern for Irish people is the amount of access that revenue have to people financial accounts at present.
I understand wanting to look for money laundering or illegal activity, but such behaviour is conducted by a tiny percentage of the population, maybe less than 1%. Yet they are monitoring everything, its like you would see in an old Soviet Union movie set during the Cold War." If you are worried about that then you should be terrified of your phone. The social media companies know more about you and your personal details, which they trade for money, than the government. At least the government is some ways held accountable. Who is overseeing all the data that is being gathered on you through your phone on a daily basis?
