Replying To Gantric: "Down in the Tailteann Cup so, they might offer some challenge but I would still not show my hand here and wait for the proper qualifiers." It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

Replying To hootervillian: "How many All Irelands have you got. You win a game and you start spouting. The Kerrys, Galways, Corks and Dubs can talk but Westmeath really have very little to talk about." Lot more tonight than ye. What's Robbie B doing with the lads in the five weeks off!!!!!!

also the fact as far as im aware, getting to a leinster semi wouldnt have been the end to the year either, i think getting to a leinster semi gaurenteed an all ireland preliminary qtr final against a munster team...and who knows what could have happened. this could and should have been a journey where no westmeath minor team had gone before.
the more i think about it the more frustrated i get and disheartened....

Replying To southmeathgael: "I was there, no they didnt, stop making stuff up. Lack of humility in victory just shows how winning isn't really something you are used too. We take it as a compliment when a team goes on like beating us is winning their all ireland. Hope you enjoyed the 2 week celebrations" Two more weeks now to celebrate and plan for final!!!

Replying To Joeynyc: "Time to stop crying about Luke not playing.
Yea be good to have him.They lost to wexford and Laois with him, Wicklow last year.
So be it. There's enough talent on the pitch to win today." Pretty prophetic post. One of our greatest ever victories. Every player a hero. Three more championship games guaranteed. Brilliant support too.

Brilliant from Westmeath all over the park today especially in extra time when after being deflated with a last second point taking victory away from them -they powered on in extra time and were worthy winners.Huge support for Westmeath today which was great to see and great for the lads-roll on the 17th and a crack at the Dubs in Croker.

Replying To if_in_doubt: "Fun while it lasted but normal service about to resume in Leinster with another easy title on the way for Dublin.
Meath must be kicking themselves." Very ungracious post. Westmeath better team. So you think Kildare would stop Dublin? They couldn't stop a clock.

Replying To M Lyster: "Down had to beat Donegal (1st in National League) then Armagh (6th in NL) to reach the Sam Maguire stage,
Meanwhile Kerry just had to beat Clare (24th in NL) to make it. Until this discrepancy is rectified we'll never have a truly level championship." But Kerry would have qualified anyway as 2nd in the League. The Clare game was irrelevant to the AI SFC, just like yesterdays Derry/Monaghan game was.
Plus if Down had stayed in Div 2. they wouldn't have had to worry about beating Donegal or Armagh.

Trying to be positive and thinking we should have 3 good years at u20 with this group, just hoping we keep them all together. The plan should be for the vast majority of these lads to go on to hurl senior and hopefully be back in Leinster by then too.

To a man westmeath were outstanding today but I have to give special credit to the back three dillion, drumm and scahill outstanding. Defenders dont get much credit but the tackling and turn overs were brilliant. Brandon deservedly gets man of match and took the game to kildare. No doubt tge best team won today, well done mark mchugh and his management, what a turnaround in player belief in a year, roll on leinster.

Replying To Tadhg2020: "Sure that was decided too.." Thats a decision that would need revisiting if we went back to a 5 team Leinster Championship. Not fair that any Munster county can have a poor year with no penalty for it, while no Leinster county can.
Relegation would add a layer of excitement to the Munster Championship also.

Replying To Viking66: "Maybe Ill put forward a motion to the club that promotion and relegation should be introduced to the Munster Championship? On the grounds that it would be massively beneficial to whoever gets promoted to it to have 4 Championship games, maybe make them all home games, against 4 of the giants of hurling? Imagine the good it would do for Antrim hurling, or Westmeath hurling, or Carlow or Laois or whoever, for young people in those counties to see Fitzgibbon, Hegarty, Kelly or Mcgrath in the flesh, get their hurls signed etc? It would be massive for growing the game nationally!!! Maybe it would get alot of support!" No thanks. Four annihilations at home would do untold damage. Munster hurling is the poster boy of the GAA. Why change what's working

The ladies are an example of how to ignore population numbers resources etc and just get on with it, think they had a year where they didn't field but they've bounced back and gave great days out to the supporters.
If there was a connacht intermediate cup for mens game we could surely win a few but would have some questioning it's value and others crying about how to include NY in it as well as the senior one, you can't win

Aside from the tremendous commitment and tackling shown today which were critical to a momentous victory, the Westmeath support in Tullamore was phenomenal, the crowd rallied the team and vice versa at different stages and the scenes on the pitch for almost an hour after full time were amazing. Youngsters getting jerseys, footballs, flags signed, huge pride and joy felt by everyone. The contrast between preparing for a Leinster final in Croke Park with 40,000 + in attendance and then two more guaranteed championship matches versus playing Leitrim in the TC was a factor in the players giving everything on the day.

Replying To Ulsterchamps_32: "Well you could also say they had to be third from bottom in division 2. Down for relegated from division 2 last year and that was the real problem. No point moaning about a tough Ulster draw." They were relegated last season on a head to head rule against Louth on the basis of a one point defeat away from home (2-17 to 0-22) . If score difference was used they would have survived. Tyrone (5 points) and Cavan ( 4 points) survived on fewer points in Division 2 this season. Down had 6 points (3 wins) it was an unlucky relegation. Provincial championships should be run as stand alone competitions not linked to the All Ireland.

Separate provincial championships from the All Ireland they are great competitions but no longer relevant to the All Ireland. Division 3 and 4 teams at the start of the year play Taillteann Cup Division 1 or 2 play Sam Maguire. The two teams promoted from Division 3 play All Ireland football the following year and the two teams relegated from Division 2 drop to Taillteann Cup. Scrap League finals and head to head rule go back to score difference.
