Replying To WestmeathGael1: "Young Geoghegan from Lomans/Turin maybe? Or the Ormbsys from Shamrocks/Plunketts" Buckley Leech and Maguire I'd imagine they'd be on extended panels at this stage of the year TheWagonWheel-N91Y529 (Westmeath) - Posts: 62 - 06/11/2026 13:15:58 2699608 Link
Replying To TheWagonWheel-N91Y529: "It's true if that's what's happening. It's very disrespectful to club hurling if players are being told they can't train or play with their clubs and must attend U20 or senior county sessions or risk their place on the panel. If Kevin O'Brien told hurlers they couldn't train with their football clubs, he'd get serious abuse for it. It's becoming a joke. What's going on with Gonoud and McHugh? Clubs need space to breathe." Back training in early October, is it any wonder the footballers were crippled by injuries by the end of the season DanGer966 (Westmeath) - Posts: 71 - 06/11/2026 13:30:15 2699611 Link

The man was dealt a bad hand of cards the minute he took the job, I said here on this forum last year that the management at the time was going to set back hurling in the county thirty years and it's coming to fruition now. Imagine to think three years ago Wexford were beaten in the Liam McCarthy and ever since that game the team/county had nosedived off a cliff to an extent it has is unbelievable. Will the best minors now choose football over what is being witnessed, another lost generation of talent is going to happen if something not done. The talent is there with everyone on board to win a joe McDonagh and comfortably stay in Liam McCarthy. preddan (Kildare) - Posts: 845 - 06/11/2026 13:37:26 2699612 Link
The players need a very hard luck at themselves. Unbelievable unfit over the last few years. Always someone else fault etc etc… They have full use of a local leisure centre and they're constantly in the sauna there! You'd never see one of the footballers in the place; unless in the gym in the same facility. All you have to do is look at how fit the footballers were last year. That wasn't by accident… Matthew (None) - Posts: 1127 - 06/11/2026 14:51:27 2699624 Link
